So I tried to not wait months before I came back to writing this story but I got caught up in family business with my brother, he's not in trouble or anything so don't worry but after a while i remembered this story so I'm back so chapter 2.
Chapter 2: Runes.
So after the fight at lunch people had started to talk about the incident ,and before 3rd period the news had spread across the school about the freshman who beat the quarterback. currently it was 4th period, Finn, and Jake were walking to P.E with some almost more than friendly stares.
"So what's with everybody? besides from me beating that guy up." Finn then said with an unsettled look on his face.
"Wow you just answered a question you asked then denied it." Jake then told Finn casually.
"Not anyone can just fight the school quarterback easily without using a Rune." Jake then said which prompted a question from Finn.
"What's a Rune?" Finn asked, taking the breath from Jake's lungs.
"Are you serious? runes are the most important thing in the entire city." Jake said while taking off his jacket ,and lifting his t-shirt sleeve to show Finn a strange symbol that look strangely like a circle with a hole in it.
"What is that a doughnut?" Finn asked.
"No it's a rune, but now I'm hungry." Jake answered, then took a big inhale.
"Runes are what founded this city everyone here has a symbol that looks like an image on them representing a certain ability or aspect that represents their abilities." Jake said confusing Finn more.
"What?" Finn asked once again.
"Ok, runes give people superpowers, they show what your power is, and some can manipulate things other than their bodies with them." Jake clarified.
"People with physical runes have the ability to modify their own bodies, like mine, kinetic runes let's people move, and modify objects other than their bodies, and then their are mental runes which boost people metal capacities so their smarter then most." Jake then said answering Finn's question.
"How come I don't have one then?" Finn asked.
"Wow you are chatty, you must be a late bloomer, most are born with their runes from birth, while others runes are delayed, so they don't show up until they go through a certain event that awakens it" Jake answered.
Finn ,and Jake then walked into the locker room to change, then headed for the gym where they saw 3 of the royals that were watching Finn earlier in the day after they took their seats on the floor, they appeared to be a girl Finn's age she looked like she was a redhead, with a gem in the middle of her forehead, another had grey skin, and black hair, along with two runes on her neck that looked like a vampire bite, and the last appeared to have light pink skin, and dark pink hair tied up into a ponytail. Suddenly a buff man walked onto the gym floor and he appeared to have a nose ring and hair shaped like a bull's horns.
"Hey, I am Coach Manny, but some people call me Mr. Man." He then spoke in a deep tone both threatening, and calming.
"So most coaches don't do this on the first day but we are not like normal schools that have you wake up at 7:00 in the morning ,and then complain when you sleep during class, We do that here too but now we will test your skill with a quick game of dodge-ball." said causing most of the students to moan.
"Oh moaning are we? well you can use you runes all you want enjoy." He said causing the students to sigh, and become excited.
After the teams were chosen, Finn, and Jake were on one side, and the royals on the other. as soon as blew the whistle the balls vanished, and suddenly the royals team had all of the balls then began their assault.
Jake then said to Finn" Watch this." Jake said activating his rune.
Suddenly his body began to morph and stretch suddenly he grew multiple limbs from his body, and caught some of the balls that were thrown. as teams were starting to thin out Finn, and Jake were the only ones left on their team while the royals were the only one left. before Jake could even speak he had been hit, and had gotten out, so Finn was the only one left. as the grey girl threw the last ball something happened, Finn's body emitted a intense glow, then suddenly he caught the ball in his hand faster then it was thrown, suddenly then back of his shirt tore open, and his rune was shown to the gym, it looked like a comet spiraling into the center of his spine.
then whispered "An astral rune."
"Ok the royals team win hit the showers." He said stopping the game, as he did Finn nearly passed out as he rune deactivated, the whole gym stood in silence, the freshman who had beaten the quarterback in one hit has one of the rarest ,and most powerful rune types in existence, an astral rune, and suddenly the only thought that went through the room, belonged to the coach.
"An astral rune hasn't been seen in over 1000 years that only means something big will happen to this kid, and the whole school, no the whole city soon, and it all depends on a freshman kid." The coach then thought as Finn suddenly ran to the nearest trash can, and let loose his entire breakfast inside.
"We are royally screwed." then said while pinching his nose.
"Does anyone have a mint on them." Finn then said taking a breath before proceeding to vomit once again.
I gotta say it is not easy to do this because I do the copy and paste mode so I type directly on here so it hurt my eyes at first luckily I have sunglasses so I genuinely mean when I say I will start updating this story more often, so thank you for reading, and thank you for your support.
