Once again thankyou to those who even read the introduction thankyou for even giving me a chance. Thankyou and I hope you enjoy Chapter 1 of Shattered heroes Vol.1. Sorry for saying thankyou so much. But hey its the truth it may have only been a few of you who reviewed, it was still more then I would ever thought which is just like a dream I'm still shocked even 4-5 days after. Well sorry for the late upload I have work and school to worry about so I can't be as efficient as I can be. their will be numerous references of different things. But I'm gonna leave that up as a suprise. Also in advance I like to say all songs and characters are owned by their respected owners and creators. Welp let's get to the story.
Chapter 1. Fallen Hero's
Shay's Pov.
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
I opened my eyes Looking at my alarm. It said 6:25 am.
Sighing I stood up.
Narrator: "Young Shay has had quite the rude awakening at the begginning of the story no less."
"What was that?" I yelled quite suprized.
Female Narrator: "You can hear us, But how?"
Male Narrator: "It seems he is like her."
"Who's Her?" I asked.
Female Narrator: "You will see when the time is right. Right now theirs no need to rush the story."
"First that dream now this what the hell is going on?" I said with a slightly amused face.
"Welp I gotta get ready for another exciting day in the life of Shay or is it?" I said sarcastically.
I went ahead and took a shower. Drying my hair I looked in the mirror. I was fairly tall for my age at 6'2 I had the build of a boxer from my extensive training in the fighting style. Other then that I was normal aside from my hair, eyes. What? I like to experiment with colors. I grabbed my faded black jeans, my angelic white dress shirt which I tucked in, I put on my grey and black suit vest, with a silver tie i pulled on my white cloak with lavedar tips on, I was wearing my worn black cowboy boots and my simple black belt to finish the look. My platinum hair with lavendar tips was styled in a long undercut. I brushed my teeth then walk downstairs
"Morning Freya. Where's Merlin or Lucius?" I asked curiously.
"Their outside I'm pretty sure." Freya said.
"Thanks Freya." I said.
"Please don't tell anyone about last night. By the way are you on the Pill?" I asked.
"I won't and yes don't worry thing's happen." Freya said.
"Good last thing I need is your Dad chewing me out for having goodtimes with his little girl." I said.
"We we're drunk Shay theirs no need to worry. Plus it's my fault for jumping on you like that. I get a little crazy sometimes." Freya said in caring tone.
"Plus you really know what makes a girl wet." Freya finished.
"Please never say that again." I said my face flushing red.
"Well I'm just going to walk outside, to see what Merlin is doing." I said while walking outside.
"Uncle Merlin are you out here?" I asked while yelling.
"Good morning Shay." Merlin said.
"I had a dream or was it a vison." I said.
"Sit sit, tell me everything you saw." Merlin said
"I was in a stone room with a Queen handing her child through a portal. Which she closed soon after.
She droped to her knees weeping because she had to give away her young one." I said
"What else did you see?" Merlin asked.
"She was taken away by a group of people after that I woke up." I said sadly.
"What do you think it meant?" I asked
"I know what it means Shay as I was the Wizard and that woman was your mother." Merlin said in a sad tone.
"What the hell are you talking about Merlin, tell me, Now!" I yelled pissed off.
"My parents abandoned me you know that your the one who told me and you expect me to think that..." I started but stopped to let the so called Wizard explain.
"Like I was saying Your parents didn't abandon you, You had siblings but they were killed one by one untill no one would be able to fight her. You were sent by here your parents along with me and Lucius to protect the heir to Camelot. During that time I gave Excalibur to the White Queen to hide it in a spot only you
could find." Merlin Stated.
"How will I find the Holy sword If i don't know what it looks like." I said.
"A blade so sharp, yet so frail, it shall go snicker-snack along the vorpal blade, Without the other it shall not end, But with the charm, it will show the way with steeley chains, to a place where time is right but wrong, only one can find the path you seek, with the chance to turn wrong to right, only then you will find what you seek." Merlin said sounding mad with his own twist.
"That's my clue?" I asked annoyed.
"Where's Kota when you need him." I said.
"Well I sent him to Ever after to go to school to be the next snowfox. By the way Shino, Lawliet, and Timon are their to for the hero training and their respected storys." Merlin said nonchalantly
"By the way pack your bags because your going to." Lucius said
"While walking past handing me my sword your going to need this. We're going to miss you kid, it will definitely be boring with out ya no adventures like we used to have." Lucius said sadly he perked up a bit soon after.
Taking the sword I looked at it fondly remembering my adventures in this world. But now it's time to start a new one. "Thank you Lucius it won't be the same without everybody, because we where just a wacky family." I said sadly but changing my tone to happiness near the end.
I walked to my room to pack cloths for 2 weeks, I can wash a weeks worth of cloths on laundry day so I will always have cloths. Grabing My worn leather messenger bag I went ahead, and grabbed my favorite storys and my laptop. Taking a Breath I took one last look of my room. This is the last time I will see this room for a while maybe even forever. I thought.
Walking downstairs I met up with Merlin, Freya, and Lucius.
"We have something for you." They all said in unison.
"What, but it's not my birthday, or any holiday I know of?" I asked suprized.
"The other 4 got one to it's just a hover board. I made them just for you guys to get around". Freya said nonchalantly.
"Sometimes I just want to marry you Freya. But your like a sister to me. It would just be weird." I said to Freya.
"Thankyou, I'll take it as a compliment since it is from a handsom adventurer." Freya said to me while giving me a wink.
We all broke into fits of laughter.
"Are you ready to go Shay?" Merlin asked.
"When am I never ready?" I asked Shrugging my shoulders taking a stance placing a hand on my swords hilt. Before standing up straight again shortly after.
"Follow me Shay." Merlin said grabbing his staff while walking toward the bookshelf place.
Walking foward. I stopped when I was to by the bookshelf.
Merlin grabbed a certain book that look similar to the storybook of legends only for the shelf to move allowing access to the hidden portal room.
"Ah so many adventures started and ended here and this may be the last for all I know." I said looking around the room one last time. I felt the tears boil up but being to much of a man I pushed them back like and
"The adjustments are done Shay, when your ready you can step through it should take you straight to the headmasters office." Freya said "Hurry before the old man runs out of power." she finished before running up and giving me a hug I hugged back only for Lucius to stare at me with anger filled eye's which slowly changed to soft and kind eye's that you wouldn't expect from a retired soldier turned father figure.
I walked foward before turning around and saying."Will it be easy nope. Worth it? Absolutely." Before turning around and jumping into the portal hoping to afely land in the headmasters office. But I was falling through the sky. Crossing my legs I rubbed my chin as if I had a beard and said. "Well isn't this an odd predicament." Looking over I noticed something falling it was my sword I dived for it I was so close thinking quick I decided to swim towards it like in an anime. To my suprize it worked putting the blade in it's sheath. Looking foward I saw I was going to have a rough landing.
"Jesus christ theirs a tree!" I screamed once again trying to swim out the way only this time it didn't work and I slammed right into the damn thing turning it into splinters of wood flying everywhere.
Well I hope you like chapter 1 of Shattered heroes we finnaly learned who the infant prince was. If your wonderin what the portal is it was machine Freya made it allows Merlin to give it his magic and with the right adjustments it can send you anywhere that portals are still opened. Right now I'm working on chapter 5s rough draft. Until it is done don't expect chapter 2 it will introduce 2 characters that I hope you love, plus some of the Ever After Characters will make an appearance to untill next time. Once again all the songs I use which I didn't write belong to their respected owners. Same goes for the Ever After High characters as they belong Mattel. Untill next time. Just Remember.
"FORGET ALL THE REASONS WHY IT WON'T WORK AND BELIEVE THE ONE REASON WHY IT WILL!" Because like many people at time's I think I'm not good at writing I think of the reasons why it won't work but as my friend said you should always believ in you self no matter how hard it gets. Because life will sometimes throw you a curve ball but you just have to hit a homerun with it. Hex ya later.
