(Perspective Change)
1st Person Perspective (Oliver)
"Hey sleepy head, time to wake up." Said a gentle and familiar voice. I drowsily got up from my bed, looking at my older brother, Jake. A boy with a skinny stature, hazel hair that spikes up unnaturally with green eyes that emphasize his hair.
"Well? Finally awake little one?" Jake said while he was smirking at me.
"Hey! I'm only a couple of inches shorter than you! Soon I will be taller than you, then I'll be the one calling you little one."
"We'll see about that."
"Why yo-
"Jake stop teasing your brother!" Our father said from downstairs.
Rolling his eyes Jake says "Right sorry dad! Come on Oli let's go get some breakfast, I would've been eating by now but of course I had to wake someone up."
Sighing I said "Fine, let's go."
We both head down stairs getting hit with a powerful aroma making our stomachs grumble making us go faster. Taking the final steps down we both see our father's signature English Breakfast, a dish with bacons, scrambled eggs, grilled tomatoes and sausages.
"Alright time to eat!" We both say in unison grabbing our seats about to sit down.
"Ah ah ah, boys I think you forgot to do something." Dad says gesturing at the sink.
Jake and I both sweat dropped, getting up from our seats we begrudgingly washed our hands and started eating like savages.
Dad chuckles "I see you both are quiet hungry, how any of you have any homework?"
"Nope! Me and the boys will be playing games all day!" Jake says grinning.
"No, I was lucky enough to not get any homework from any of my teachers." I said still eating my food.
"I'll be going to work soon, I trust you both won't cause any trouble."
"Yes sir!" Jake and I said in unison.
Later after Jake and I cleaned up, we both see our father off. Jake going back to his room presumably going to play games with his friends and I went back to my room getting some clothes to go out. I look at myself in the mirror. My long wavy jet-black hair going down to my shoulders. My vibrant green eyes that can be presumed as emeralds. I tie my hair into a bun and went to Jake's room.
"Hey Jake, I'm going to the field. Nearby Sunken Forest, I'm going to meditate."
"Dude really? Again? Man you really need to socialize a little bit. Why not hang out with your friends?"
"You know I enjoy meditating more."
"Whatever dude enjoy being a loser." Jake says going back to playing games.
"Says you, playing games all day get a life!"
"Wha, hey!-" I ran out of the room closing the door and running out the house.
After locking the door to my house I started walking to the field I basically use as a distraction to reality. The birds chirping, the whistling wind that glides throughout the field, the sweet and gentle scent that comes from the fresh grass and flowers that naturally calms you. This field was mostly abandoned, only I really visited it. So it was my special place my escape from stress.
I sat in the middle of the field enjoying its warm presence. I cross my legs and close my eyes. Letting my mind lose, relaxing my mind and body. I meditated there for hours feeling the warmth around me.
But today was different, I started feeling the warmth enter my body, starting from the center of my torso and expanding throughout my body. This warmth gave me true peace, I slowly opened my eyes, shocked from the sky slowly darkening. It seemed to be noon.
"Oh it's that late already? I better get back home before Jake becomes worried. Though he probably wouldn't even notice I wasn't home until dad says something."
I started walking back home still feeling that warmth, I couldn't think about anything else but the warmth I was feeling. I continued to think about the warmth the whole time I was walking home.
"I'm home!" I say to Jake hoping he actually heard me.
(Two Weeks Later)
Two weeks of feeling that warmth, I never forgot the warm feeling. I went back to the field finding a wilting flower, I lent out my hand and I thought,
'Oh you poor thing, if only you could become healthy again.'
As I was thinking that my hand started glowing, a yellow ball slowly gliding to the flower making the flower healthy again. I was shocked, whatever came out of my body just healed that flower.
I tried to replicate it again, and was shocked that a yellow ball of light came out of my palm. It was floating just above my palm. I started to feel tired which confused me,
'I haven't done anything physically draining, why am I tired?'
Then the yellow ball of light went back to my body giving me my energy back.
'What just happened?'
I returned home and went to my computer researching about what was happening to me. I found a website talking about life energy. The life energy was called Ki, a latent power that was used by ancient martial artists to protect those in danger. The website described Ki as warmth coursing thorough the body that makes you feel calm.
'Was it Ki I was feeling? Do I really possess the same kind of energy?'
I couldn't believe it, me the normal scrawny kid having a power that used to be possessed by powerful martial artist.
I practiced trying to control my Ki at the field, accidentally letting a Ki ball off and causing a small explosion, creating a small hole on the ground. I soon learned how to guide it across the air by controlling the Ki ball with my fingers. But soon got too tired and having to rest.
(A Week Later)
I did this for a week straight when I had any free time from the endless barrage that was school. I ended up being able to get the ball faster and faster, day by day.
But today I got bored of trying to cause the ball to become faster and I was trying to brainstorm what I can do instead of training the Ki ball's speed.
I unfortunately couldn't think of anything, getting up from my bed I went over to Jake's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
"Yo Jake."
"What's up?"
"I've been playing this game and I was playing some kind of mage and I can only do fire ball. I've been making the fire ball go faster but I got bored of that. Got any new ideas for me to do?"
"Wait you actually play games? Hmm, okay fireball huh? And mage too? Kinda basic but I guess maybe start making multiple fire balls and firing then rapidly? Oh oh! Maybe a fire stream, like a flamethrower!" Jake said slowly getting more and more excited he continued to ramble on but I stopped him saying,
"Whoa dude too much advise, but I'll do the rapid fireballs and stream first, I'll tell you when I get those completed."
(A Year Later)
This happened for a whole year, me trying to do different stuff with my "Fire Powers" and Jake suggesting me new "Spells" to do. I also started getting hang of losing my energy, and it's like I was training a muscle because I could continue to train my Ki causing me to train in longer periods.
Today I was training my Ki barrage, chucking multiple Ki blasts at a big rock in the Sunken Forest. I've been practicing for hours now, so this part of the forest looks a little messy. I went and sat down to catch my breath a little bit, meditating. I figured out that meditating could give me my Ki back. But when I was meditating I heard a shuffle and multiple footsteps coming in my direction. Looking around the destroyed area I quickly hid, not wanting to get in trouble by whoever find this location. Finding a bush to hide in I peak to the small opening I once was in and see a kid running from...
'What...is that?' I thought shocked of what is in front of me.
I saw a an ugly and tall creature holding a club, it's lone eye starring at the child. The child stopped running looking out of breath. The child turned around with a knife looking terrified for his life. The child, a boy with shaggy light hazel hair that reminds me of Jake's hair, and his ocean blue eyes that had grey bags under them.
"C-Come a-at me you m-monster!" The boy said clearly afraid.
The monster stared at the boy grinning, " I am quiet lucky to find such a meal!" The monster said licking his lips and grinning at the boy.
The boy whimpered and dropped to his knees and I knew at that moment I had to do something to stop this creature. So I hopped out the bush and went in between the monster and the child.
"Stop right there!"
"Oh? A normal human that can see through the mist? Oh I am so lucky!" The monster said giggling and lifting its arm to strike me.
I grabbed the boy and leaped out of the way, the strike destroyed the ground beneath it. I was shocked, and started to panic. My legs locked in place, I felt a menacing sensation coming from the ugly monster.
The boy pushed me out of the way and lifted his hand, I watched the grass beneath the monster start to grow and wrap around the monster's feet.
The boy said "Run while you can! I can't hold this cyclop for too long. Please! Run!"
I started getting up and turning back to get away from the situation I got myself in and turned to see the boy wasn't running away.
"Hey kid come on, let's run now before the monster gets out." I say panicking even more when I saw the boy want moving.
"I...can't move... too...tired." The boy dropped to the ground looking up at his appending doom.
The monster, getting out of its bindings started walking towards the boy lifting its club again about to deal the finishing blow.
I look at a distance and my body moved on its on firing a Ki blast at the monster knocking it back.
"Get away from him!" I say charging more Ki blasts on the palm of my hands.
"What the-" Both the monster and boy say in unison.
I hurled the Ki blasts at the monster causing a smoked cloud.
I did not wait for the smoke to clear continuously firing Ki blast one after the other. And I finished the combination with a Ki blast I learned from the "Fire Stream" Jake suggested me all those months ago.
This time I waited for the smoke to clear and I started to panic more because I saw nothing but a crater where I fired all my Ki at.
"Where is it? Did it get away?" I started looking around preparing for a sneak attack.
"You killed it." I heard from bellow me, "Monsters turn to dust when they die." The boy said looking shocked.
I stood there for a moment not believing him but when he grunted in pain I quickly leaned down and started giving some Ki to the boy. Giving him enough energy to stand.
"What the- I am starting to feel better." The boy said starting to squeeze his hands.
"What was that thing?" I said still a little shaken from the current situation.
"That was a monster, a cyclops to be more precise."
The boy was about to continue but we both heard rustling around the nearby bushes.
The boy grabbed my hand and we both started running from the opposite direction.
"We have to get out of here, they will only continue to chase us down. Come on! I know a place where they can't attack us." The boy said further dragging me in the forest.
"Wait lets just go to my house my dad will hide us!"
"No! You don't want to endanger your dad do you?"
"Bu-but."
"Hurry up, if we keep running we might be able to get there in a week."
I followed the boy even though I didn't know who he was, I didn't want to get my father or Jake killed so I didn't go home. I only hope that this place the kid was taking about was safe.
