I was standing beside a red staircase, students were at their lockers that opened by the sound of their voices. As I ran my fingers through my blonde hair, I saw Jaren coming down the hall in a blue uniform, black pants and a red belt on them. His Flaxen-blond hair rose up on all ends as he glared at me with his Nut-brown hair, picked me up by my blue shirt collar and threw me across the hall at a white wall as I stared at him with my Cornflower-blue eyes.
Jaren walked closer towards me as I covered my face with my hands and chewed on my left wrist and the minute teeth touched the purple ring around it, I felt this burning sensation. It was like my hands were on fire and I could feel the sting of the pain on my skin. As the pain worsened, I moved my hands away from my face, stood on my feet and abeam of yellow light shot out of both of my hands. Looking at my hands in fear, I closed my eyes.
A black Warrior and A yellow-green Warrior came into my thoughts. They were throwing power beams at each other. The yellow warrior's beam was green and the black warrior's was black like the night sky. When the two powers collided, an orb of power came out of them and shot itself at the black warrior as he disappeared. Walking up to me, the yellow warrior shook my hand.
“You must be Kazaka. I am Zedarrk, the One- star General of the Kazakian Warriors."
“Who is Kazaka and what are the Kazackian warriors?"
“Nothing you need to worry about. But, you do have a destiny for yourself that is about to happen.”
“What are you talking about? I’m just a normal everyday boy.”
“No, you’re not! You’re a boy with very unique powers and I hope the choices you make with them will make Kursta, who is the God of all proud of you.”
Opening my eyes, I saw Jaren out on the floor with his shirt burnt to pieces and burn marks on his chest. The black- skinned Principal came into the room, gasped lightly when he saw Jaren, grabbed me by blue my shirt collar and took me down the hall and into his office. Throwing me into the brown chair, he sat in the chair behind his desk. A black magnet was on his desk and it said: Principal Keith Ritter
“Skyrid, what happened today?”
“I don’t know. It was most shocking thing and light shot out of my hands.”
“Skyrid, that’s not possible warrior powers are just a myth.”
“That’s not true because my sister Crystal has them.”
“She’s just trying to trick you into believing in them. And since I can’t get the truth from you, I’m sending you to the Guidance Counselor’s office. Maybe he can uncover the truth of this matter.”Mr. Ritter said, rolling his eyes in disbelief. He then pressed a red button his desk and a white tube came down around me, I was turned into a red orb and in an instant I noticed that I was in a room with a white man in a blue shirt and jeans along with curly gray hair and a brown beard hanging from his chin.
"Skyrid, do you know why you're here?" the Man asked, looking at me with his hazel eyes as he held his blue clipboard in his left hand and a gray pen in his right hand.
"Yes. Mister Ritter thinks I hurt Jaren on purpose. And who are you suppose to be?"I inquired, staring at him and crying.
"The name's Lester Slither. And, we all have times in our live where unexpected things happen to us. So, you don’t need to be upset about it.”
“Yes I do! He doesn’t even believe me. Plus, I still confused with what happened today.”
“So what do you think happened?”
“I shot a beam of light at Jaren and that’s all that happened.”
“It sounds like you’ve had a warrior power malfunction.”
“What’s that?”
“It doesn’t matter. You wouldn’t understand anyways.”
“I think I would.”
“Okay. Inside of every Cithian that is a descent of a person who has warrior powers is the ability to inherit those powers. Now since I have told you that, I am sending you home to help sort this thing out with your parents.”
“Please don’t send me home! My Dad will be very upset with if you do.”
“Not if you explain to him what exactly happened.”
“I hope you’re right.”
“I know your Father. He won’t too mad. Oh, and before you leave, take this with you.” Lester said, holding a black string with an upside down triangle hanging down from it by a metal hook with his hands as he placed it in my lap.
"You must be joking! I just fought a fight and you think a stupid piece of jewelry is going to help me now!" I yelled, throwing it up against the wall.
"Wow! You've got more power in you than you know." Lester said, staring at me in amazement as he saw the hole in his wall.
"Maybe I do and maybe I don't. But, do you know anything about a person named Kazaka?'"
"Yes. Kazaka is just a legendary warrior that’s supposed to help our people. Why? Are you him?"
"I can't be, right?"
“No, it's very possible. In fact, I've never seen a person who could match your power. So to prevent any further malfunctions of your warrior powers, I'm sending you home for a few days. And, please take the necklace with you. It's called energy and its part of a legendary gem called the Helios."
He zapped it with lightning and I appeared in front of my house which has two huge white poles holding up its roof. The two doors are white with golden handles, above the doors is a window in the form of half a circle with triangles inside it, a circular window was on each side of them, the left window had a blue handle, and the right one had a green handle on it, I raced up to the doors and pushed them open.
Walking up the stairs, I ran down the hallway, into my room and left my door open all the way. Next, I heard a knock at my door as I sat down on my bed with tears streaming down my face.
"Skylar, why are you home so early?" my Dad enquired as face became bright red and standing in the doorway.
“I’ve had some type of warrior power malfunction according to Mr. Slither.”
“So he sent you home?”
“Yes. And, I just don’t understand why you’ve lied to me all these years.”
“Skyrid, I was trying to protect you.”
“How we’re you doing that?”
“Furliceo has been stalking me ever since you were born. So, I didn’t want to let the cat out the bag until you found out yourself.”
“Okay. I understand. But if he’s been watching us all this time, then why haven’t you tried to get him locked up?”
“It’s my word against his and it’s not like he looks through our windows at night.”
“True. But, he still watches our every move somehow. Because nobody ever changes that much and he probably has a good reason for it.
“You’re right, Skylar. He probably does have a good reason.”
"Dad, you’re not supposed to call me that right now. Because it’s my middle name and it’s not appropriate right now." I said, in anger. In addition to this, the door opened and my Father looked at me with his blue eyes as he fixed his glasses and wiped his hands on a red and white shirt and his blue jeans on his leg.
“Alright, but I’m just trying to comfort you. Plus, the Cithian culture uses the middle name for comfort and getting into trouble with people in authority over you.”
"You're supposed to be happy on your birthday, Skyrid. And we have to have smiles on our faces so that Furliceo doesn’t expect that there’s something wrong." my Dad said as he took my hand and dragged me into the dining room, sat me down in a brown chair, and scooted me into the table as everyone gathered around the table; my dad lit the candles with his purple lighter, and my family sang to me: "Happy birthday to you. Many good days have come to you in this past year. But this year will be the best one yet. So, happy birthday to you and we all hope you'll have a great time being twelve years old."
Once the song was over, I ran outside, and opened the light blue mailbox. Taking the Mail-Reader out of it, I looked at the mail and noticed a letter from Furliceo Woolsley. I didn't even know who that guy was but, I heard my Mom and Dad talking about him and they had said he was losing his strength, and dying. He also needed a Helios part (which is energy) to regain his strength and then I thought to myself:
‘That sounds logical and scary!’
When I got to the top, I looked down at it, noticed that it was in a circle, walked into my dining room, and gave the mail- reader to my Father. Looking at the letter addressed to me on the mail-reader, my Dad read:
"Dear, Son of the legend, in other words Skyrid,
I'm coming to get what's rightfully mine!
Sincerely, Furliceo Woolsley, the Villain Master."
"What does Furliceo want, Daddy?" I asked, squealing.
"To take over the world, but he has lost a lot of strength from the last war that we had twenty-six years ago. And he needs the Helios, which you are wearing around your neck to regain his strength. My Kiyassa (great father) Alex Crop answered, with complete hatred towards Furliceo Woolsley.
"So what are we going to do about it?" I asked, looking up at the ceiling.
"Well, what your Mother and I are going to do is: send you somewhere he'll never find you. “My Dad said, with hopefulness in his eyes.
"And just what exactly does that mean?!"I demanded, throwing my hands down to my sides and stomping my feet on the floor.
"It means that were sending you to Kodyack's house. And he'll take care of you for a few days." My Dad explained, breathing at a slow pace.
"Why do I need to go there?" I asked, staring at my Father’s face.
"You don't know how to fight Furliceo yet. And Kodyack will take care of you until you're ready for further training. “My Dad clarified, glaring at me.
"Training for what? Plus, couldn't I just shoot Furliceo?" I said, folding my arms.
"That answer will come to you when the time is right. And maybe you'll learn why you can't just shoot him, Skylar." My Dad said, touching my hands and holding them with his hands.
"Don't call me that! And, I want to stay here with you! Plus, why doesn't Crystal have to go anywhere?! ”I said, clenching my fists.
At that moment, Crystal came down the white staircase in her purple pajamas and walked up to me and my father.
“I was trying to sleep and you two woke me up with your argument. So, since you don’t care about my sleep, I will answer your question, Slyer. The reason why I don’t need to have any training is, because I already had four years of training. So I don’t need to go because I have already had all of my necessary training for my powers. “Crystal said, yawning.
"But, I don’t want to go! And plus, I'm not afraid of him!"I shouted as my face turned red.
"I know you’re not, but you can't handle him right now, because, if you had to face him head to head he would kill you!" My dad said while yelling and, simultaneously enraging fear in me.
"Dad I can’t believe you would say that. I mean I thought you believed in me.” I said as tears streamed down my face.
"I know you can’t believe I said that, but when I was your age I thought the same thing. I thought that I was all high and mighty and those thoughts drove me so insane that I wanted to fight Furliceo. But I don’t want you to end up making those same mistakes, because I want you to be prepared for his wrath, if he comes after you and I do believe in you but not enough to let you get killed. I say this, because I’m pretty sure he will come after you and try to kill you , because he’s dying and you have what he needs to regain enough strength to press on and, that’s why you’re going to Kodyack's house whether you like it or not!” My Dad said, stepping closer to me.
"Why do I need to go to Kodyack’s place? And who is that guy anyways? ” I enquired, rolling my eyes.
"I already told you! It's not safe here! And plus, even though you won’t admit it, Skylar; I know you have warrior powers because you’ve use them wrongly in school before and they’ve got you into trouble! In addition to that I will say he’s your two times great uncle by marriage.” My Father said, while putting his hands on my shoulders and shaking me back and forth roughly.
“So, great Grandma Hasse is his sister?”
“Yes. But, stop changing the subject!”
“Why?”
“You should stop it because, you are going to Kodyack’s house whether you like it or not!”
“Alright, Alright, I’ll go. You don’t have to yell.”
“Apparently, I do. You won’t listen any other way!”
“Yes, I will. You just have to be calmer with your tone.”
“Wait, I thought we we’re talking about Skyrid going to Kodyack’s home?” My Mom said, glaring at my Dad with both of her brown eyes.
“We are. Skyrid tricked me into changing the subject.”
“Yes, I did. And, you fell for it.” I said, winking at my Dad with my left eyebrow.
“I may have done that, but, you haven’t changed my mind about sending you to Uncle Kodyack’s.”
“Dad, I don’t want to go.”
“I know you don’t, but, I won’t risk your safety anymore. And neither will your mother!”My Father yelled, raising his brown eyebrows.
“Dad, you’re a Sayis. So, you are more powerful than him.”
“I may be. But, I won’t risk your life over it!”
"Calm down, Alex!" Mom yelled as she butted into the conversation, while glaring at me. Grabbing me by the collar of my shirt, she pulled me out from behind the game table in the living room that had black and white checkerboards on it, and dragged me down the white staircase and out the wooden door with two swords carved into the back of it.
Letting go of my shirt collar, she bent all of her fingers into her hands, shot two green beams out of the centers of her hands. Hitting against each other and produced a small dark green orb. As my Mom threw it into the air, I watched the orb fly around her; a helmet with that was the color of the sky with creatures that were part horse part lion and part eagle formed around her head. Green and blue armor with purple lines on it was the rest of her armor expect for the metal on her feet, which was in between her toes and it didn't cover them completely. Her hands glowed as she sent us to someplace new.
When we arrived in front of a blue house with a white staircase leading up to the front door, My Fiyassa (great mother) walked up to the blue door with purple spots on it and banged on it slowly with her fist. The door opened and a man with blue eyes, blue glasses with a twisted frame, a small white beard, a yellow shirt, green pants and gray hair on his head appeared.
"Megan, it's so nice to see you!" The man said, throwing his arms around her.
"Kodyack, please calm down. And I need you to do me a favor and watch Skyrid for a few days. “My Mother said, pushing Kodyack off of her.
"Okay. But, why do you want me to take him?”Kodyack said, glaring at her.
“I'll explain later, Kodyack. Just take the boy."My Mom said as she shook he left hand slightly.
Snapping her fingers, my Fiyassa (great mother) turned into a blue orb and flew off into a green portal in the blue sky. Leading me inside, Kodyack closed the door behind us and sat down on his red couch with blue pillows on it. Looking at me with his blue eyes, he kicked his feet up on the wooden coffee table with checkerboards that were painted green.
"Skyrid, you've gotten big since the last time I saw you. You were only five-years old when I saw you last. So, I have to know why your Mother brought you here." Kodyack said, taking off his glasses and pulling out a white cloth, wiped the glass on them and slid back over his eyes and laid them on his small ears.
"Two words: Furliceo Woolsley. And, he wants my Helios part. Plus, my Father said that it wasn't safe for me to stay." I replied, cracking my knuckles nervously.
“There’s no reason to be tense about it. Besides, you don't even know who Furliceo really is. So I will tell you. Most people call him the Villain Master and this is because his King of all Villains. Your Father made a wise decision in sending you here.
For, The Villain Master and him are both enemies and, you have to know that Furliceo was forced to be evil by his parents during his entire childhood. He was even crowned the King of the Villains at ten years old and he doesn't know any better way to act because, evil is all that he knows and that’s all he has done in his life up until now. Your Dad killed Jacob Woolsley, who was the Father of Furliceo, in a war that we had twenty-six years ago." Kodyack said, in a deep voice while rest his left arm on the arm rest of the red couch we were sitting on.
"No, he didn't! You're lying! My Father wouldn't ever do something like that!" I shouted, pounding my fists on the coffee table.
"Skylar, he would do it if it meant saving a whole lot of lives from dying in battle and his action of murdering Jacob ended the war and saved your Grandfather, Juddick Crop!" Kodyack yelled as he took his feet off of the coffee table and stomped them on the floor.
"You can't call me that name! You don't know me well enough!" I said, jumping up from my seat and shooting a beam of light towards him. Kodyack then shot two beams of light out of each of his hands produced a yellow orb and my beam of light disappeared into it. Closing his hands, Kodyack made his orb disappear. Chuckling, Kodyack smiled and winked at me with his right eye.
"I knew you had warrior powers! But, you needed to prove that to yourself. And since you have, I've decided to take you to Gailems, the school for warrior power training. The reason why I want you to go is: I want you to master your powers."
"Kodyack... I... don't..."
"Don't say another word, Skyrid. We're going right now."
Grabbing my left hand, Kodyack dragged me through a room with stoves and refrigerator in it and up a blue staircase. Opening a brown wooden door, Kodyack pulled me into a light blue beam.
"Please teleport us to Gailems" were the words he said when we walked into it; we turned into orange orbs and went into a purple portal at the top of the light blue beam and when we landed on the ground, we were turned back into ourselves.
We stood in front of a big Castle. The Castle had a big oak door with the symbol of the 8 Sayis' carved into it. The symbol was a star made up of eight points and each one stood for a different Sayis. Each point had the symbols of each Sayis inside of them. Two S's tangled around each other for Sedro Sayis, HS for Hydra Sayis, a capital L and S attached together with a puzzle piece in the middle for Light Sayis, a Gravestone and a cursive s attached together for Darkness Sayis, two axes in form of a x for Minotaur Sayis, A Cerberus for Cerberus Sayis, A gator's head for Gator Sayis (my Dad, Alex Crop) and, last but not least, a bolt of lightning embedded into a staff for Qysterio Sayis. According to the book of many secrets the 8 Sayis' were created during the fight between Furliceo Woolsley and Kasey Williams, or, the one and only inter- dimensional civil war.
There were two sides to the Sayis'. The two sides were the Servants of Light and the Warriors of Darkness. The members of the Servants of Light were: Sedro Sayis, Light Sayis, Gator Sayis and, Minotaur Sayis. The Warriors of Darkness' parcels were: Hydra Sayis, Cerberus Sayis, Darkness Sayis and Qysterio Sayis. Touching the wooden doors, Kodyack and I watched them as they swung open and Kodyack led me into the palace.
Once Kodyack led me inside, the doors shut behind us and I looked at Kodyack as he opened his mouth to speak.
"Well, I need to take you to Pedro Jerricus. So, he can in you a place to sleep."
"Who is this Pedro?"I asked, confused.
"You'll find out when you meet him." Kodyack answered, winking at me with his left eye.
"Okay. But, why do you need to take me to this person?!"I asked, moving my eyes closer together in anger.
"All questions will be answered you two meet." Kodyack replied, rubbing my right shoulder with his left hand.
After Kodyack and I were done conversing, we went down the hall and turned right. While we were going down it, I saw many pictures on each side of it and one portrait stood out among the rest and that one had: a boy with brown hair and light blue eyes wearing a black shirt and red jeans with a orange chain hanging off the waist of his pants slightly and went up around a belt loop with a golden crown that had red and green jewels embedded into it on his head. Pausing my walking for a moment, I stopped to look at it and saw this name in cursive at the bottom of the image: Sade Markson.
"Was Sade Markson royalty?" I asked, scratching my chin.
Kodyack stopped and walked over towards me. He looked upon the image and looked at me.
“Sade was called the Prince of Darkness by all of our people. So I think that made him royal."
"Why did everyone call him that?"
"You will be told that when the right day comes. But for right now, I will tell you that Sade was just like you: confused and unhappy. But, he always tried to take the easy way out instead of dealing with his powers."
“Like what?”
“Well, instead of training he would try to fight people above him so he could get out.”
“Do you think I will turn out to be like that?"I enquired, acknowledging the facts of Kodyack's story.
"I think you probably won’t , but I’m going to say yes and no as my answer, because if you work hard enough at it you could learn how to master using your powers and, Sade is nothing but a disgraceful representation of someone who is not grateful for their powers, Slyer!" Kodyack retaliated, bitterly but simultaneously Kodyack was also hopeful in the fact that I might turn out to be good.
"Why do you say that?" I inquired of Kodyack, as I used my dark green eyes to stare firmly into his bright blue eyes.
"I say that because, Sade had always tried his best to find the easy way out of anything that he didn’t like to do and plus it looked like he didn't really try to make Kursta proud of him and his powers. I mean Kursta didn’t have to let him have those powers; He could’ve just have given them away to somebody else or just not let him have them at all. “Kodyack answered, trying to make Sade look like the bad guy in all of this. But, I don’t think that’s the truth and, sooner or later we will find out what really made Sade betray everyone.
"Hey, calm down or you'll wake the students!"A man in a black cape with brown hair, Electric-blue eyes and a bushy white beard shouted, as he came towards us.
"Oh, hi Headmaster Jerricus, I didn't see you there. This is our new student, Skyrid Crop. “Kodyack said as he took my hand and put it into Pedro’s very bony white hand.
"Alright, Mr. Crop would you please come with me to my office?"Pedro inquired
“Why do I have to go?"I asked
"You have to go because I have a surprise for you and I can't show you it unless you come, Mr. Crop."Pedro said
"Okay. I'll come and please stopping calling me Mr. Crop, because it’s super annoying!"I said
"I will! So what do you want me to call you then?"Pedro said
"Just call me Skyrid or Slyer."I said, scratching my head.
"Okay but I have to ask why Slyer?" he asked, curiously
"I want you to call me Slyer, because when I was little I played tricks on my sister Crystal and she said that I thought I was clever, in other words sly." I said, moving my eyes side to side.
“Okay. Do you have anything else you want to tell or ask me?”
“Yes. Do you know anything about Kazaka?”
“Yes I do. He is supposed to be someone who helps our people.”
“Okay. Do you think I’m him?”
“Well, you could be and couldn’t be. But the answer will come when the time is right.”
"Why did the eight Sayis' build this Castle?" I asked curiously, walking down the long wooden hallway. On the wall were pictures of Warriors bowing down to their masters.
"They did it, because they all wanted their descents to learn to how to control their powers. And please, Slyer save the rest of your questions for later, because I do not wish to be used like a magic mirror." Replied Headmaster Jerricus, firmly. Walking along the wooden corridor, we passed many doors. One of these doors had a picture of a person with Kodyack’s blue eyes and messy brown hair and a whole army was bowing down to him. “Who is this?” I asked, standing in front of it as I bit my lip.
“It’s your friend, Kodyack and he’s leading an army into war. You know, Kodyack is the commander of the Light Warrior Army.” Pedro said, winking at me. After Pedro spoke, I frowned and The Headmaster's brown eyes glared right at me. "So, Skyrid Kodyack tells me that you deny your own warrior powers and I just gotta know why."
"Uh...when I was in Swordville Middle School..." I said, stuttering.
Then the Headmaster got this look in his eyes like he had already heard the story that I was telling him before and then he uttered "Come on Skyrid, I know you hit a bully with a beam of light after you held your right hand up in front of him."
Once Pedro was done speaking, a flashback flowed through my mind. In the flashback, I was at my old school, Swordville Middle School walking down the passageway to my next class and some kid named Jaren James, said I was stupid and holding my right hand up at him, I shot a beam of light at him, and burn marks appeared all over his chest.
"How do you know I did that?!"I demanded, raising my right eyebrow.
"Well, Skyrid, I was the Guidance counselor for that school. And plus you told me all about the subject when you were sent to my office."
"Wait a second, you’re Lester? You don’t even look like him. "I asked, intrusively.
“Yes. I can morph into different body features. I can’t let ninjectas know my secret identity so I went with a fake name.”
“Okay. But what are ninjectas?”
“They are people without Warrior Powers.”
“Are there any other ways to get warrior powers?”
“There is one other way: you can get injected with them.”
“Wouldn’t that be expensive?”
“Yes. But, it’s totally worth it if your human form is dying.”
“Oh. So, warrior powers make you live longer?”
“It depends on the health of your heart because the powers live off of that.”
“How does it do that?”
“Your powers are usually all combined into one bone when get them and all bones needs blood and joints to work.”
“That’s cool!”
“Yep, it is. But, there are side effects to warrior powers.”
“Like what?”
I can’t tell you that, Skyrid. You have to learn them on your own because they are different for everyone who has warrior powers.”
“That sounds weird. But back on subject: why didn’t you take me to Gailems when you had the chance?”
"I didn't do it, because it wasn’t time yet to do that and I didn’t want to reveal something that big to you. And do you deny your powers because you're scared of them?" Pedro said, conclusively.
"Yes, Headmaster, that's why I deny them, but how did you know that?"
"Well, because I was the same way when I was your age, but the only thing that was different was that this school wasn’t even in existence at that time. The point of the matter is all Cithians make mistakes with their powers; the object is to never let that fear tarnish your success with being a warrior. “Headmaster Jerricus said, calmly, effectively and with great encouragement.
When we finally approached Headmaster Jerricus' office, I noticed that the Light Sayis' symbol was carved into his door. In addition to that, right below it was the name, Pedro Jerricus. Then Pedro looked directly in my eyes and said, as he turned the doorknob slowly," Now, Slyer you might be very shocked by this event, but I trust that you won't be freaked out by it."
Next, we walked into his office and I noticed three boys who had the same features as Me, like my blond hair and green eyes, Adding to this I also said, while I was glaring at the four strange people with my eyes and hair:"Who are these people?!"
"Well, Slyer, the one in a cowboy outfit is your quadruplet brother Michael Safassa Rodeo Crop, the next one in orange clothing is your quadruplet convict brother Mitchell and last but not least the one with a shield and armor is your quadruplet Brother Thomas Cecil Crop." answered Headmaster Jerricus, with kindness.
“Wait a second; why didn’t my Father tell about them?” I asked, beating my feet on the wooden floor.
“He didn’t tell you because I told him that if he did you would go searching for them and that would stop the prophecy. What I mean is there was a prophecy about you and your brothers which said that your Father would have four kids and these children would be brothers. But they would be separated because of a disease called: Genius-all-a-see, which is a disease that happens when a baby’s mother conceives in her light warrior form. The necklaces you four are wearing around your necks are the very things that have kept you alive all these years!” Pedro shouted, pounding his fists on his desk and as he did this all of his books crashed into the floor.
Squatting, Pedro grabbed the first book and I looked at him.
“Let me help you with that.” I said, walking over to Pedro, bending over, and picking up an open book by his left foot. Reading it, I saw these words: ‘Sade Markson was one of my greatest students. He was loyal, kind, clever, and shy. But, he was also very confused as to what he should do next.’ Getting up from the ground, Pedro snatched the book on of my hands.
“Headmaster, what was that?”
“This book has nothing to do with you! And, I have to get you four a place to sleep for the night.”Pedro shouted as tears streamed down his face.
“Pedro, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I’m just curious.” I said, grabbing his left hand and
“Stop trying to comfort me. And you have no reason to be curious about it.” Pedro said, pulling his hand out from under my hand.
"So what happens now?"I enquired, with an eagerness for him to answer.
"Hey! Why can't you be a little patient?” Pedro demanded, slapping his desk with both his hands.
Afterwards, Headmaster Jerricus led us down the hall and we all saw pictures of different mythical creatures and some real creatures like gators. And then we appeared in front of a room that had the symbol for Qysterio, which is two staff with knobs on the ends of them and a diamond in the middle, carved in to it. Opening the door, Headmaster Jerricus pushed us in. The room was lit up by a big orb of light that was right in the middle of the room.
As the orb shone with great intensity, it filled the room with light. There were also two wooden bunk beds in the room. They had blue waves carved into the sides of them and a ship steering at the end of both top bunks. The Blankets on the top bunks were blue and purple and the sheets were red. Green covers with blue sheets were on the bottom bunks and rainbow-covered pillows were on each of the four beds.
Sitting on the bottom bunks, Michael and I stared at Mitchell and his orange clothes and a big metal ball attached to his left pant leg that was ripped in the middle and, we watched as he swept his left hand through his brown hair that had very uneven bangs hanging over his forehead.
"So, Mitchell why are you a convict?"I asked, with a desire to know why.
"I don't like to talk about it." Mitchell said, turning his face to his side, like he blamed himself for all of it. I think he must have not known down deep in his heart that no matter what we do in our life to try to prevent it, our trials will happen, because there is a reason for everything even if we don’t know them during the time of our transgressions. I mean I think if God give us the reasons for our trials, He wouldn’t be helping us much, because our trials are meant to strengthen us and, not tear us down from the inside and out.
"Come on, it can't be that bad. It could be worse. I mean I would love to know what’s been happening all these years and plus it’s better to let it out of your mind instead of keeping it hidden so it can destroy from the inside and out. ” I said trying to comfort him, but at same time I was trying to convince him in to giving me the full back story to the situation that seemed to be shameful to him.
“Well, okay. That horrible thing that I do not like to speak about started on October 25th, my tenth birthday. On that day there was sudden pounding on the front door and as the pounding grew louder and louder, the door shook off its hinges and fell down gracefully to the floor. Then men in army suits raided the house, and they were just about to find my Dad, Furliceo Woolsley, when I stood right in front of them. They laughed at me as I held my hands up in front of him. Then something amazing happened, two beams of light shot out of the centers of both of my hands and they connected themselves to an orb of light. As I got angrier the orb expanded, I moved my hands back a few inches, and then I moved them back to the way they were before I moved them and, shot the orb at the Army. After that I was flung back a few inches and I was arrested on a charge of manslaughter. And I’ve been this way ever since that horrible day that I spoke of. “Mitchell answered, unjustly, like it hurt him really bad to even speak on that very subject in particular.
“Wait a second; you can make an orb of light with your powers? That is amazing, because most light warriors can’t even do that trick, because it is very complicated to most people who try with their hardest efforts to do it, but they couldn’t do it yet because they hadn’t learned to control their powers well enough. I mean that’s what my father perceived, because he told me he had to live with people like that for a few years of his life. And he also told that he was not too hard for him after he did some very intense power mastery with Kodyack. And I still can’t believe that that back story is that bad, because it sounds terrifying to me. “I said, not excepting that the story was going to be that bad.
“Alright I think we should go to bed now.” Michael said, while yawning.
“I don’t want to go to bed until I have learned Skyrid’s back story.” Thomas said, with eagerness.
“I will tell you that story after you tell me, how you, Michael, and Mitchell met each other.” I said, while being worried at what they might say next, but, maybe I worry a little too much.
“A week ago, headmaster Jerricus came to my prison cell first. And then he convinced the prison guard to let me out for a year. As we walked down the street, we stumbled upon a mansion. Now this Mansion was huge. The sidewalk was massively decorated with wilted flowers, because snow was falling on to the ground that day.
The door was a foot taller than me and when Pedro said politely that he wanted the door open to that big wooden door that had a golden phoenix carved into it, the door answered back that he wanted to know who it was, and then Pedro said to the door these words: don’t you recognize my voice, and then the door replied with great delight that he was glad to hear Pedro’s voice and that the master of this great house had been waiting all evening for his arrival. The door then swung itself open and a man in white and black clothing appeared and then at that very moment I said to Pedro that I wanted to know who this person was.
And then he showed me by carving his name into the icy wind; then as the name froze into ice I saw this name: Voyager Brixen. Then Voyager said that it was a pleasant surprise to see Pedro and, then he asked why Pedro and I had come. Then Pedro said that we came to his house to speak with his son, Michael and, after that he shouted that Michael should front and center. Then as Michael came rushing down his stairwell, I noticed that he had round glasses and he was in what looked like pajamas with warriors on them. When he appeared at the door, he wanted to know what was going on.
Then Pedro said that he wanted him to meet some new siblings of his and that he should go get dressed into Day clothes. Then Michael said that if the big shinning ball (the sun) wasn’t up that he wasn’t going to be. Then Voyager demanded that Michael should do what Pedro told him to do, because he might have some adventures on the way to meet his siblings. “
“And I definitely had some adventures, like the time when Mitchell bumped into Vade Markson. This day I speak of was most horrible day of my life.” Michael added, sourly.
“I remember that day like it was yesterday. Pedro, Michael and I were walking to Thomas’ house. And as we walked on the narrow sidewalk, I bumped straight into someone by bumping my head into their head. When we started falling, Vade caught himself by using two orbs of light to prop himself back up again. I also remember that, I tried to apologize, but it was too late, because at that moment Vade shot an orb of darkness towards me. Luckily, Pedro saved us by taking all of our hands; we turned into blue orbs and went into a purple portal in the sky. Appearing in front a house with blue doors, small staircase leading up to that door and windows that had small cracks in them, we saw a bluer mailbox and the house was a sort of tan mixed with yellow lines. Watching Pedro fall to the ground, we all rushed towards him and pounded on his chest.”
“The only reason why that event even happened was because the teleportation process took a majority of the energy in his body! And plus the process didn’t even kill him, all it did was knock him unconscious!” Michael asserted, loudly.
“What you say is true and I think it still took a lot of energy out of his system and, the process of teleportation probably wore him out. But that doesn’t mean that we should go off a on a tangent and not finish the story. ”Michael said, trying to get back on topic. “
“Since we’re finally staying on the right topic again and not going off on a tangent; it’s my turn to tell the story. “Thomas said, with selfishness.
“No it’s not! It’s my turn!” argued Mitchell, trying to start a fight.
“Can you guys please just give it a break with the fighting? I mean, you and Thomas have been constantly bickering back and forth between each other ever since you met! You two fight so much that it seems like you're not even happy you did met each other! You should be happy to have siblings because if you didn’t, you’d be very lonely. ” Michael said, yelling and crying.
“Alright, I’ll give it a break on fighting with Thomas! Thomas, I think it’s time for me to stop being such a jerk and let you finishes the story of how you, Michael and I met.” Mitchell said, trying to do a nice thing for the sake of his wonderful brother Thomas, and their relationship as forever brothers.
“Thanks for turning over a new leaf, Mitchell. So, I think we need to get back to the story. ‘When I heard my doorbell chime, I answered and then I said ‘Who are you and more importantly what do you want?’ Then Pedro answered that the people with him we’re my brothers and that his name was Pedro. And that he was trying reunite them with me, so that I could get to know them by entering through a new kind of brother hood and meet one more sibling along the way.’ And then I replied that I didn’t know what trick he was playing, but I wasn’t going to fall for it.
Then my Dad, Gazer Books came into the room and said that he had heard our entire conversation and that what Pedro said wasn’t a trick. And that every word that Pedro had spoken was the truth. Then I said back to Gaser: ‘Wait a second; why didn’t you ever tell me I had siblings?’ Next Gazer said that he did because he didn’t want to ruin the prophecy of the four great warriors. After that I shouted’ What are you talking about?’Then after I said that my Dad said: ‘It’s a long story, but, first: I want you to know that I had great time raising you as my own son and I’m proud of the man you’ve become. But it’s time I told you the truth.
‘12 years ago me and your mother, Thora found out that she couldn’t have babies naturally and we found out about an orphanage called The Seventh Dragon. And when we got to the orphanage, the caretaker of the orphanage said that there was one baby left and that he would gladly give it to us if we really wanted it. And that baby was you, Thomas. When we got the permission from the judge to raise you as our own child, we we’re so happy, but, while we were enjoying that happy moment, the judge said that we shouldn’t be celebrating yet, because of the prophecy of the four great warriors. After he said that, we asked: ‘But what does that have to do with our son?’
Then the judge said these words: ‘Well for one, it’s about your son’s future. Now I can’t tell you everything, but except that your son has three other brothers that are the same age as him that we’re separated from him. And please don’t be surprised if some people try to reunite him with his brothers in twelve years.’ So please just go with Pedro and your new brothers and fulfill that prophecy that the judge told me of.
Then I said that it was a great thing that he was being honest and that I would gladly go with Pedro and my new siblings to meet my long lost brother to fulfill the prophecy that you told me of. And we’ve been together ever since that day.”
“Alright, Skyrid, now it’s time for your back story. Tell us why you came here.” Thomas said, hitting me on the back with his left hand.
“Well you don’t need a back story for that. I’ll just say that I came here to this school, because Furliceo Woolsley is after me because of my Helios part.” I said, conclusively.
“Did you say you have a Helios part? Well I have one too. Mine is air.” Thomas added to my saying.
“And I also have a Helios part. My Helios part is water.” Michael added to Thomas’ saying.
“This might not be a big surprise to you, but I too have a Helios part. My Helios part is heat. And I love the name to it; it has a very nice ring to it.” Mitchell said, adding his saying onto the conversation between my brothers and, me.”
Then the door swung open and Pedro appeared and said as he stood in the doorway ” Well I hope you had a good sleep, because you need to follow me to hall of Battles, or as I like to call it, the hall of Violence. And get ready for the scariest fight of your entire life.”
When we started walking down the long corridor, we passed through a set of doors at the end of the corridor and we saw two large doors. Opening the doors, Pedro took our hands and we ran and, jumped with us into a metal chute. Riding down the chute we landed on the ground of triangular room with battlefields all around it. Then Pedro said “Welcome to the Halls of Battle and be ready for your sorting exams to see which class out of the 4 classes of warrior training you fit into. You’ll be fighting against people who already have mastered your area of knowledge with your Warrior powers that you have. Class 1 is the Power Beam Makers. Class 2 is the fusion power beam makers. Class 3 is the weapon shooters. And the final class is the orb makers or the group of the Future Sayis’. Now before you came to this school your parents sent me a form about what you could do with your powers.”
Getting a wooden pad out Pedro said these words: The first two battles are class one battles. Jaren James according to the form that your parents sent out to me, you can make a power beam and heal yourself from wounds as you are doing it. So you’ll be fighting against Chaser Jerricus, a person who has already mastered your area of knowledge. Skyrid, your parents tell me that you once used a power beam against a girl Named Karrithea James because she was teasing you and then she threw one at you for payback. Well get ready for your rematch because you’ll be fighting against her. Now all four of you will be fighting on the class 1 battle fields and please no running. I wouldn’t want any of you to trip or fall. “
Then even though Pedro said not to, Jaren, Karrithea, Chaser, and I rushed into the two Class battle fields. Now these places were the color of the ocean, which is light blue. By the time that we got into our battle positions, Pedro had already told us to start and Pedro announced that we had to follow these rules: ‘ Rule one: No calling in help Rule two: You can only defend yourself Rule three: Have fun!’.
Then Jaren and I started our battles by holding up our hands and then we shot power beams at each other. Blocking our moves by turning their powers into two individual mirrors, they reflected our power beams back towards us. But, before they could hurt us we turned our power beams into bottles and threw them at our opponents. Knocking them both down off their feet, we finished our class 1 battle exams. Then Pedro Announced: “By winning their exams, Jaren and Skyrid are placed in Class 1, the Power beam Makers. Now for the Class 2 battle exams.
Michael according to your parents, you can shoot power beam and fuse them together to make a power beam. So you will be fighting against my daughter, Caitlyn Jerricus. She has been going to this school for two years and has learned how to master your area of knowledge. Parser Jerricus, my son, can fuse power beams too. But, he can also turn those power beams into reflection barriers that can reflect his opponent’s powers back at them. And Parser will be going against his little brother William Jerricus, who can do the same things as him.
It looks like both these battles are going to be close ones. And did I mention that if lose you are placed in the Class below your area of knowledge? Well it’s exactly what’s going to happen to all of you if you lose!”
At the time Pedro was done speaking, Michael, Caitlyn, Parser and William raced to their individual battle fields which were as green as a gator’s face. Michael started his fight by fusing a water beam with a lighting beam and created a beam of electricity. Next Caitlyn threw the same kind of power at Michael. Unfortunately for Caitlyn and Michael, both of their power beams fused together into two arrows and the arrows shot themselves at Caitlyn and Michael. Jumping into their battle field, Pedro redirected the arrows into an orb of fire and the orb turned the arrows into a pile of ashes.
Pedro then spoke these words: “By my decision the fight between my daughter, Caitlyn and Michael Crop is ended in a draw, for their safety. And they both go to Class 1. Parser and William it’s your turn to clash.”
Starting their scuffle, William fused a beam of fire with a beam of magma to create lava and shot the new beam straight towards Parser’s side of the combat field. Fusing two beams water together; Parser then turned them into a giant wave and shot it towards the lava beam that William shot over to his side. Throwing itself into the lava beam that Will created, the giant wave cooled down the magma; it turned into lava and smoke rose out of the middle of their brawling ground. Spreading, it covered the top half of the room, we tried not to panic, but, alas many of us including me started to scream and some of us got into crawling positions on the floor. Fortunately for us, Pedro got down on his knees and led us into another metal trough.
Going down the shaft we were thrown into a room full of medieval weapons that were scattered all over the wooden platform. Landing on our back ends, we started to feel intense pain as we got onto our knees. Then as the pain got worse, we try our best to stand up. Unfortunately, in despite all of our great efforts on trying to get up on our feet, we proved unsuccessful. Then Pedro shouted: “Parser Isaac Jerricus and William Omer Jerricus, I will deal with this problem by giving you both in school suspension. Once all of e students are done with their mêlée tests, you two will follow me to my office where you’ll spend the entire night with me. Because of your choice, you will both be in class 1. “
Once the pain started to go away, we finally stood up on our own two feet. Then Pedro told us that we were in the hall of weapons. And he also said that Thomas’s Dad, Gazer told him that Thomas could turn his powers into weapons like swords and arrows. Then he pointed at Mitchell and said
“Since you are above Michael’s area of mastery, you will be fraying against him in the last battle of the evening.”
“But sir, He’s my brother and, I do not wish to fight him.”
“I don’t care if you don’t want to brawl against him, because if you don’t do it, I’ll have to expel both of you from this school and you’ll lose your chances of ever mastering your warrior powers that you have.” Pedro argued, trying to force Thomas and Mitchell into a skirmish.
“Come on Mitchell, I thought you liked to fracas with Thomas! I mean I thought you wanted him to be your enemy and not your friend.” Michael teased, aiming to make sure Thomas and Mitchell fought against each other.
“Fine I’ll do it. And Thomas you better get ready for your worst nightmares to come true! ” Mitchell bellowed devilishly. Going to different sides of the room, Mitchell and Thomas stood in their fighting positions. Picking a sword up from the ground, Pedro lit it on fire, threw it and it landed in the center of the room and this action made the sword go down into the center so much that you could only see the top of it. Then Pedro declared “Mitchell and Thomas please pick up your weapon of choice from the floor. There are two ways to win this competition. The first one is to make the sword in the center shoot up out of the center and make it land on your opponent’s side of the room. The Second and last way to end this fight is to trap your own in a way that he can’t make any moves. Now that I have told you the ways to win Mitchell and Thomas, you may start your battle.”
Mitchell then started the battle between him and Thomas, by throwing an orb of light towards the center of the room and sucking the sword that was in the center into it. But just before Mitchell could drop the sword on Thomas’ side, Thomas threw his arrow that he had chosen as his weapon and froze it as it headed towards Michael’s orb of light. Cracking the orb wide open, Thomas attached a flame around the sword that was in Michael’s orb of light. And then, Thomas unlit the flame that was attached to the sword by shooting a beam of water at it and, that event made the sword that was in the orb of light drop itself on Michael’s side of the room. I knew what that event meant.
It meant that Mitchell would go into the same class as his brother Thomas and that class is Class 3. Pedro then proclaimed, while yawning: “Now that’s it is after curfew, Classes 1 and 3 will be rooming together and they will be nicknamed the Dragons of Light. And that means that classes 2 and 4 will be roommates and they will be call the Servants of the Sayis’. Parser and William will follow me to my office, while The Dragons of Light follow Chaser to their dorm. And the Servants of the Sayis’ will follow Caitlyn to their dorm.
Since I’m only in class 1 I can’t tell you much expect that Caitlyn and Chaser lead their groups down two chutes. One of the chutes had a dragon standing beside a yellow orb on the right side of it and the other chute had the symbol of the 8 Sayis’ on the right side of it. As me and the rest of the Dragons of Light went down our chute, I wondered in mind what our dorm would look like. When we finally landed in the living room of our dorm, we saw that two yellow dragons were on each side of the fireplace that sat behind our coffee table. Then Chaser told us that the girls ‘room was on the right side of the dorm and the boys’ room is on the left side of the dorm.
Heading to their dorms, the girls left us there all alone and then Me, Chaser and, the rest if the boys went to our dorm. After we took our showers and got dressed in the clothes that were in the dressers that were beside our individual beds, we got into our beds and went to sleep. Or at least everybody except me did. I stayed up and did my prayers. Once I started yawning, I got into my bed and closed my eyes.
Following this event, I headed into the bathroom, got undressed, turned the water on, jumped into the shower, shampooed my hair and washed my body. Rinsing the soap out of my hair, I let the water splash on my body; the soap went down the drain, I pressed a button and the water turned off, I got dressed, walked out of the bathroom and ,closed the door behind me. Water dripped from my hair and onto the floor as I followed Pedro out of the boys’ dorm. Going out of the boys’ dorm we said goodbye to Parser and, William who were standing front of the door and then we jumped into a chute that happened to be right beside the door to the boys’ dorm. When we landed in Pedro’s office, I sat down in the chair that was in front of his desk and he sat down in the chair that was behind the desk. Then I asked: “So what’s the message that you have for me, Pedro.”
“I’ll warn you that the message is pretty bad. The Message is that your house was broken into, your sister was kidnapped and the captor left this note said, regretfully.
“And just what exactly does that have to do with me?” I asked, in confusion.
“The note said that unless you beat the captor in a warrior battle in the Warrior Power Competition or your sister will be killed. “Pedro said, forcibly.
“Wait a second, you want me to go and fight against a hijacker on national television instead of worrying about mastering my powers?” I requested, confused.
“No that’s not what I want. What will happen is on the days that the show isn’t airing on the television, you will have extra warrior training to prepare. And then on the days that show does go live on the Television, I want you to go fight like there’s not tomorrow. Pedro said, trying to defend his words.
“So you want me to go audition for it?” I asked
“Yes I do. But if you don’t want to I’ll understand, because it is being held behind the school and you’ll have to have a partner for it.” Pedro answered.
“If it’s being held in my home town, then I want to get as much warrior power mastery training as I can. Because I want to be ready for Furliceo Woolsley, if he tracks me down and tries to kill me. “I said, with a worry about my safety.
Following Pedro and I’s conversation, Pedro pulled a book out of his bookshelf that was on the left side of his desk and the bookshelf slid back and, a flight of stairs appeared. Running down them, we got to the bottom of the stairs and Pedro opened a door with a dragon carved into it. Seeing that we were back in my dorm, Pedro and I went into the boys’ dorm. And one by one, we woke up all of the boys and told them to take a shower and get dressed. After all of the boys got dressed, Pedro rang the doorbell to the girls, pressed a button that was right next to it and said:
“It’s time to get up, Ladies. Get up out of bed, take a shower and please get dressed, quickly. I don’t have all day and neither do you if you want breakfast.”
Once the girls were done getting dressed, Pedro led us all into our living room, shot an orb of light at the fireplace; it slid back and revealed thousands of ropes hanging from the ceiling. Looking at the first rope, I jumped into the air and grabbed it. Leaping from it to second one I saw everyone else follow behind me as I dropped onto a platform with a claw carved into it. Once everyone had gotten over to where I was, Pedro stomped his left foot on the yellow center of the platform and a door appeared and swung itself open.
As we all walked into the room we that it revealed three long tables with thousands of wooden chairs. And the weirdest thing was that there were four people sitting at the first table and it looked like the Servants of the Sayis (Or classes 2 and 4 if you’ve forgotten) were already sitting at their assigned table. All over the room were flags with dragons and the Symbol of the 8 Sayis’ hanging from the ceiling. As soon as we all sat down at our individual tables, Pedro stood up from his table and introduced the people that were also sitting at his table.
“On my right is Kodyack Blues, The Warrior Master and Kaiser Jaymes, the teacher for the training of future Sayis’. And on my left is Kama Fraser, The Weapons Master and Jamie Jacobs, the teacher for the History of the Sayis. Thanks for coming and let us now have a blessing on the food by Kodyack Blues.”
When Pedro sat down, Kodyack stood and prayed: “Dear Kursta, our beloved Father in heaven, we thank you for this day and we ask that you would bless this feast that it would nourish and strengthen us for the rest of the day. And we ask this in the name of your son Bradley Greenson, the Savior of all mankind. “
Following Kodyack’s prayer, Pedro shot an orb of light towards each table and then food appeared on all the tables in large quantities that were fit for a big feast. Plates and silverware also appeared at all the tables. Filling my plate with some turkey, dragon meat, sweet potatoes and my own personal favorite fried chicken wings, I picked up my utensils and started to eat. While I was eating, Chaser nudged my shoulder and said:
“I’m a Costa blood. My Dad’s a Warrior. And my Mom is normal. It definitely surprised him when he found out. What about you?”
“My Dad is the legendary Alex Crop, the first King of music. My Dad and Mom are both warriors. So I guess I’m a Rasta blood. “
“That’s good. But I’ve never met a Rasta blood. What’s your name?”
“The name is Skyrid Crop.”
“My name is Chaser, nice to meet you, Skyrid. How did you find out that you had warrior powers?”
“I shot a bully with a beam of light. And please just call my Slyer.”
“Well, that’s usually what happens to most. But I found out I had them in the most unusual way possible. One night I woke up one night and, noticed that I was sleeping on top of an orb of light and I totally freaked out about it.”
“Whoa, that was not as shocking as I thought it was going to be.”
“Of course not, every malfunction is different for every person with warrior powers.”
Slapping his left hand on the table, Chaser nudged Mitchell’s shoulder and asked him:
“Since you’re a convict, I assume you know about Sade Markson?”
“I don’t just know about him, I had to live with him as his cellmate for nearly two years, Chaser.”
“Wow. So what was it like living with Darkomega, Mitchell?”
“It was hard at times. And he told me that he only became Darkomega to save his Father, Adagar Markson, and Chaser, Sade is just a normal person like you and me, who was trying to do the right thing.”
“So now that the truth of Sade’s choice has been revealed, I want to know if you know what Kodyack did to help Darkomega, Mitchell.”
“Yes I do, Chaser. Kodyack performed the surgery on Sade that turned Sade into Darkomega. “
“Do you know how the first war of Darkomega ended, Mitchell?”
“No, I don’t. But I do know that it took eight orbs of light to defeat Darkomega and end the war.”
“You know that the war was three years long right?”
“Yes I do, Chaser.”
“Well your biological Father, Alex Crop, fought in that war. And I don’t tell many people this, but, I will tell you that my Father, Pedro Jerricus is the Legendary Light Sayis.”
“Hey since Pedro is your Dad you should be the heir to his throne.”
“Yes, Mitchell, I should be the next Light Sayis. But that’s not how it works.”
“Then how does it work, Chaser Jerricus?”
“The Sayis Council picks the replacements for all Sayis’.”
“What’s the Sayis council, Chaser?”
“I’ve already told you too much as it is. And plus I’m not even suppose to tell anybody that my father Pedro is a Sayis. And you’ll learn all the answers to your questions at our Sayis History class today.”
Finishing our plates, we stood up from our tables and Pedro stood and said “The Dragons of Light and the Servants of the Sayis will now follow Jamie Jacobs to her classroom for Sayis history class.”
Now as we went on the journey to Ms. Jacobs’ classroom, Jamie told us not to touch any of the pictures because they will suck you down to parts of the Castle that are forbidden. Jamie pressed on a picture that was the portrait of her sitting at her desk. The portrait showed that she had blue eyes, her hair was red and she purple and red rings around her neck and she was wearing a red dress. Sliding itself back it sucked all of us in to it. Landing on our feet, we found that we were in a classroom.
Then we sat down in our desks that had a big book on them and Jamie heralded: “Since I don’t know any of the names of the first years, we’ll start today’s class with every first year telling their names to the entire class. Now I want you to say your name and some unique about yourself. And we’ll start with the first years in the Dragons of Light and well end with the first years in the Servants of the Sayis’.”
“Okay I’ll start. My name is Caitlyn Jerricus. Something unique about me is that I dream of becoming a Sayis. And I know that all the Sayis are always boys and they have never once been girls. But I still want the powers of a Sayis.”
“Alright, then I’m next. My name is Jaren James. One unique thing about me is that I’m the Scribe of the Sayis’. And yes I’m allowed to say that, but I’m not allowed to tell you who the members of the Sayis council are and I’m also not allowed to tell you who the Sayis’ are.”
“My name is Parser Jerricus. The unique thing about me is that I’m the only newbie besides William and Chaser that is a Costa blood. My Dad is a warrior and my Mom is normal. But they still love each other anyway.”
“My name is Skyrid Crop. Something unique about me is that I’m the son of a famous person. So I was born into fame.”
“My name is Mitchell Crop. One of the things that are unique about me is that I lived with the Villain Master for nearly twelve years of my life.”
“My name is Michael. A unique thing about me is that I can entice anybody to fight.”
“My name is Thomas. And I’m the only here who can say I’m the reason that my brother Mitchell didn’t get to become a Servant of the Sayis’.”
“Welcome to my class, Caitlyn, Jaren, Parser, Skyrid, Mitchell, Michael and Thomas which are in the Dragons of Light. Now we’ll end the intros with the new people that are in the Servant of the Sayis’. “Jamie said
“My name is William Jerricus. The thing that is unique about me is that I’m the only newbie in the Dragons of Light that was skipped!”
“Okay, now I’m going to start the intros for the warriors in the Servants of the Sayis’. My name is Pisa Kerri. A unique thing about me is that I was nominated to be a Gator Sayis.”
“Okay, since there are no new warriors in the Servants of the Sayis. Because Pisa has been coming here for three years and this is her final year in the school. Now we’ll start today’s lesson. Now please turn to page five of your Sayis History books. And Caitlyn, you will read the first paragraph of the lesson.”
As soon as we all turned to page five of our textbooks, Caitlyn Jerricus read: “The Sayis’ were made during the inter-dimensional war of 1885. They were made to put more structure into Light Warriors and Dark Warriors. The reason why this structure was needed was because massive betrayals of people that were good started happening. I’ll give you this example. Imagine ten people that are good.
Ninety percent of those people turned evil. These betrayals happened because nobody knew the rules and there was no one to enforce the rules and give punishments to the rule breakers. The Sayis Council was the first thing to be put in place for more structure with warrior powers.”
“Now that Caitlyn is done with her paragraph, Karrithea will read the rest of today’s lesson.” Jamie said Then Karrithea read: “The second structural thing was the Sayis’ themselves. There were four Sayis’ for the good people and 4 Sayis’ for the evil people. The leader of the good Sayis’ is Sedro Sayis and, the leader for the bad Sayis’ is Darkness Sayis. The good Sayis’ were called The Servants of Light and the bad Sayis’ were called the Warriors of Darkness. All of the Sayis’ were chosen by the Sayis Council and the first eight Sayis’ were Elwoods Bolto who was the first Alien to get Warrior powers became Sedro Sayis, Mark Markson, who was the Gator Sayis, Pedro Jerricus who was and still is Light Sayis, Bradley Greenson who was and still is Minotaur Sayis, the Villain Master who was and still is Darkness Sayis, Gaze Woolsley who was and still is Hydra Sayis, Glade Woolsley who was and still is Cerberus Sayis and, last but not least Blaze Woolsley is Qysterio Sayis.
Elwoods Bolto was chosen to be Sedro Sayis by Burliceo Brixen who is now his representative in the Sayis council.

Sincerely, Janet Scriber, the Assistant Scribe of the Sayis’.”
After Karrithea was done reading, Jamie asked us if we had any more questions. And I said: “I have two questions. Why was the Warrior Council made? And if the people that are the Sayis’ are supposed to be a secret than why do you teach about them and their history? “
“The Warrior Council was the third thing to be put forth as a structure to hold the warriors together. The Warrior Council was made to solve problems between Light warriors and Dark Warriors. At first, the Sayis Council gave out all punishments. But at times, it got very hard for the Sayis Council to hold everyone’s fate in their hands. So to put less pressure on the Sayis Council, the people of Swordville, namely, Christopher Jenkins, Kasey Williams and the rest of the city of Swordville made the Warrior Council, by choosing four of the members. And the members of the Warrior Council, who was at the time, Juddick Crop, Jaymes Bolto, Kames Bolto and, Keesha Bolto, picked their head Judge, who was Annie Maria Bolto. But five years later in the year 1900, Annie was killed by Furliceo Woolsley. And I teach the history of the Sayis’ because all of the students here are bound to be Sayis‘one day and I want to still have some good Sayis’ in the future. And, I want the students here to learn from the past Sayis’ examples so they can be good Sayis’ in the future. ” Jamie answered, with gentleness.
Then I asked: “How do we get out of here?”
“The same way we came in, Skyrid; we press on a picture and it will take us out.”
“Okay Chaser. But what picture do we press on? I mean there’s so many of them and I don’t know which one is the right portrait. ”
“The right picture is the one that has a golden dragon standing right next to an orb that’s floating in midair. And the Servants of the Sayis’ press on the picture that has the symbol of the eight Sayis’ on it.”
Taking us to the front of the picture of the dragon standing next to an orb, Chaser touched the portrait and, it sucked us into a black hole. When we were done going through the black hole, we landed in our dorm. Sitting down next to the warm fire, we warmed up our hands. And then we started telling stories about how we found out about our powers. Being the first one to speak, Parser told his story.
“It was the middle of the summer of 2049. I was eleven years old. I was riding my hand glider. Burning the metal, I let go and I landed head first on the ground. My Dad must have heard the crash, because as soon as I hit the ground he ran right to the place that I crashed.
I crashed in the middle of our farm right next to our family cow. Picking me up from the ground, my Father took me inside our house and placed me on our couch. I felt my face with hands and, I found out that there was blood dripping from my forehead. I touched my forehead and the blood stopped gushing out. My Dad was sitting right beside with the phone in his hands, but once he saw that there was no blood gushing from my forehead anymore, he dropped the phone and hugged me tightly as the phone hit the floor. “
“Wow that story is pretty unusual. Well on the day I found out about my warrior powers, I was having a fight with my brother Chaser. I was down on the floor, and Chaser was holding my arms down on the ground. Trying to get free, I touched his arms and they lit on fire. When I finally got free, I fetched a pail of water and, poured the water on him.” Caitlyn said, smirking.
“What are you smirking about Caitlyn?!” Chaser asked, angrily.
“Oh, nothing, it’s just that it was really funny to see you get lighted on fire. So William, how did you find out about your powers?” Caitlyn said, smiling.
“My Mom and I were dropping Parser off at Gailems and, then I waved at him and an orb of light shot out of my left hand.” William answered, laughing. His laugh sounded like a hyena’s laugh.
“My name is Jaren James. It was in the middle of the summer in the year 2048; I was swimming at a local pool, then all of a sudden the water started getting hotter. Then an alarm blared and I Got out of the water, I turned the palms of my hands to face the top of the water and, a beam of light was shot out of each hand. After all of that had happened, I fell down on to the ground as if I was knocked unconscious. All I remember was the face of the lifeguard; he was putting his mouth to my mouth and, breathing into my mouth. At a later time, I started to respond and I woke up not knowing what had just happened.
He told me that he had been watching the entire time and he had saw with his very eyes that I had shot light beams at the water. He said that he had seen me fall down and had gone down the elevator that was attached to his chair and started to do CPR on me. And he also said that after five tries, he finally got me to come to. Then he told me that his name was Ben Walters. And I told him that my name was Jaren James. I thanked him for saving my life and he said that he was just doing his job.”
“I’ll start my story next. My name is Nester Green. My discovery of my powers was in the middle of winter in the year 2047. I was having a fight with the school bully. Raising both of my hands at him, I shot two beams of ice at him and froze him right where he was standing. I touched the ice in amazement and shock. It was really weird because as soon as I touched the ice it lit on fire and melted into water as the bully grabbed me and threw me against the wall.” Nester Green said as he smiled and laughed slightly for a few minutes. I looked out the window by the couch as the rain dropped onto the ground, the thunder sounded like a huge explosion in the sky and the lightning flashed brightly against it as a green orb hit against it. Sliding the window open, I let the orb inside and it landed on the floor and turned into a person with crooked glasses and a white beard and a black robe.
“Pedro?” I asked as I stared at the figure.
“Yes. I came to tell you the rules of this school.”
“1. Curfew is at eleven at night. 2. If you are late to class you get detention in my office for all of your lunch time. 3. If you use your powers outside of class, I will give you a week’s detention and you’ll have to write an entire essay on why you weren’t supposed to use your powers. And this is the last one: the passage with a black dragon statue covering it is forbidden.”
“Anything else you need to tell us?” I inquired, biting my lower lip.
“A lot of storms happen during the night and these particular storms are the ones where you will almost always see orbs of different colors beating against your windows. But, do not be alarmed by them, because they are only the guardians of this castle and they are only there to make sure that no suspicious people get into the school.”
“Okay. Have a safe time going to you office.”
“I will, Skyrid. And, don’t break any rules while I’m gone.”
“Alright, I won’t.”
Turning back into a green orb, Pedro went out the window and into the thunderstorm. Lighting hit his orb and he was turn backed into his regular self with his eyes open and his body hit the ground instantly. Going through the window, I raced towards Pedro and saw a purple orb following me. Kneeling down next to him, I pressed on his chest several times, but, none of my attempts got him to come to. So to try another method, I turned into my warrior form and shocked Pedro with electricity; he opened his eyes and said:
“Skyrid, you saved my life! What can I do to repay you?”
Then the purple came closer towards us and turned into a woman with a white robe on brown hair hanging down by her shoulders and blue eyes appeared in front of us.
“Skyrid, I have message for you from your sister.”
“What is it? And who are you?”
“Furliceo is planning to kill her in a month if you don’t give him your necklace. And, my name is Nancy Faulkner, one of the seven Guardians of the Gailems Castle. ”
“Thanks for the news, Nancy. But, if you don’t mind we have to get back in the castle.”
“I’m sorry, but, I can’t let you do that unless you win my permission with a warrior power battle.”
“Then, get ready for the battle of your life!”
“Skyrid, don’t do it! No one has ever beaten a Gailems Guardian and you probably won’t be the first one to ever win against one!”
“Don’t worry, Pedro. I know what I’m doing.”
“No, you don’t! You aren’t in your right mind, Skyrid!”
Ripping her white robe off, Nancy showed me her body with sliver armor on her breasts and the rest of it and she swept her brown hair back and forth. Throwing a yellow orb at her, I gasped as she deflected my attack back at me with a shield made of purple orbs and fell onto the ground. Nancy then threw a beam of fire at me and I leaned to the left after I got up from the ground and it passed right by me.
Throwing an orb of light at her, I looked to the left, saw the rain and lightning and the storm clouds. Tossing a dark blue orb into the air, she sucked my orb into it; it exploded into small orbs and then, each of those orbs exploded it again and she and I were both thrown across different sides of the Castle Grounds.
Pieces of our clothes fell to the ground and my left side immediately started hurting with excoriating pain. I could barely move my left leg and my shoulder was the hardest to move. It was like I was being held back by an inner force. I tried my hardest but; the pain of my side was hurting so bad that it was like a jackknife was stabbing me over and over again. the purple rings around my wrist singed with pain as sweat dripped from my forehead. Nancy and Pedro got up and just as she was about run towards me, Pedro jumped on top of her. I screamed as I saw a huge rattle snake with small grey wings coming towards us and it blew fire at the ground.
“It’s a Syiric, one of the servants to Obsidian, the true leader of all evilness!”Pedro yelled as he and Nancy shrieked with fear. The gray rings around Pedro’s wrists glowed as we all cried for Lance’s help and out of the corner of my right eye, I saw a gray Dragon fly vigorously towards the Syiric and blow ice at ice at the Syiric and he headed straight towards Nancy as the Syiric fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Pedro backed off of Nancy as the dragon landed on the ground and smacked its left claw down onto Nancy’s body.
“It can’t be you! It just doesn’t make sense.”She screamed, in denial.
“Oh, but it is. And, you will not hurt my Master, Pedro.” The dragon said as I got up and saw smoke coming out of its nostrils.
“Pedro, please tell your dragon to get off of me!””
“Not until you give us permission to go back into the palace.”
“Fine, you win this time.” Nancy said, rolling her eyes. Running towards my dorm window, I slid it open and Pedro raced towards me and we both crawled back into the living room. Nester’s light orange hair rose on all ends as he turned around in his seat and glared at us.
“You better have a good explanation for not telling us about Pedro coming back in here, Skyrid!”
“I was outside helping him.”
“Yeah, sure you were.” Nester said, shaking his head side to side. Pedro then turned into a half orange half yellow and disappeared.
“So what were you really doing?” Chaser asked, staring at me.
“I was fighting one of the Guardians of this School.”
“But I thought you can’t fight anyone who is on the same side as you.”
“So did I. Apparently, the guardian must not be on our side.”
“What if it’s one of members of Bloodshed in disguise?”
“I don’t know if any one of them has that kind of power.”
“Skyrid, I have been your enemy since we were in middle school. And, we both know that there has to be as a reason why you could fight the Guardian.”
“I am sure we all want to know the answer to that. Unfortunately, it’s after curfew and I think we should all be hitting the hay.” Chaser said, while looking at the digital clock that was projecting its own time onto the wall.
“Oh, come on! I think we should go explore the Castle. Raise your hand, if you agree with me that we should do it and, take the risk of getting caught and, getting a big punishment for disobeying the rule of curfew.” I said, with disapproval towards words Chaser had spoken. Then every hand expect for chaser’s hand, rose up into the air. After that moment, I got up from the couch and touched the picture above the fireplace. The portrait had an armored black warrior standing in the midst of all of the darkness, with its own army standing right behind it painted nicely in to the picture. The picture then slid itself back to the right side of the room and a black hole appeared.
And, then the picture threw out a mighty wind and, the wind tried to pull us into the picture by sweeping us off our feet and made us be pulled two fourths of the way in to the picture. (Read the next sentence and you’ll get what Skyrid means - Wyatt Jaymes) Having our heads and arms out of the picture, we tried to resist the pull of the wind; we each grabbed a different part of the art’s frame. Making itself blow harder, the wind ripped our hands off of the frame of the depiction and, had finally sucked all of us into the image.

Got around to reading a little more:
...*I saw many pictures on each side of it. One portrait stood out among the rest. It was of a boy with brown hair and light blue eyes... (this portion flows better when it's a couple of sentences rather than one long one)
"...representation of someone who is not grateful for their powers, Slyer!" (I really think you should stop giving him new names every paragraph. It confuses the reader.)
*"...being a warrior." Headmaster Jerricus said, calmly, effectively and with great encouragement. (quotes misplaced)
"So what happens now?" I *inquired, (misspelled)
*That is amazing, most light warriors can’t even do that trick. It is very complicated to most people who try with their hardest efforts to do it, but they couldn’t do it yet because they hadn’t learned to control their powers well enough. (run on sentence)
"The door was a foot taller than me and when Pedro... (when a character is making a monologue, you don't have to put an end quote at the end of the previous paragraph--as long as the character is continuing to speak in the next paragraph--but a beginning quote must be placed at the next paragraph, for instance here)
And then I replied... (try not to begin sentences with and)
Again, I'm still confused about the direction of the plot and the exact role of some of the characters. Keep practicing.
You've got some random capitalization in a few places, like in the second paragraph. A few mistakes I noticed:
“*Skyrid, that’s not possible. *Warrior powers are just a myth.”
"...Plus, *I'm still confused with what happened today.”
"...He won’t *be too mad."
“How *were you doing that?” (we're = we are, were = past tense of are)
..."send you somewhere he'll never find you."* My Dad said, with hopefulness in his eyes. (make sure to always end speaking parts with ")
"...her armor *except for the metal on her feet,"
...*My Mom said as she shook *her left hand slightly.
Etc. etc., this story is just wayyy too long for me to point out all of them.
Honestly, the whole thing needs a lot of work. I don't think describing the color of everything is entirely necessary either, try using other adjectives. As for the story, I only had a vague idea of what was going on. It's a little rushed and doesn't seem very well thought out so far.
This is just my opinion though, and I'm sorry if I sound harsh. Keep practicing.
