When Cithians Attack by Wyatt Jaymes
Chapter 9 The First Syiric Appearance
My group appeared in their dorm. We all sat down as raindrops hit against the windows. A yellow orb threw itself against the window. I opened and it flew inside as it materialized into Pedro.
“Why’d you come, Pedro?” I said.
“To tell you to not fear the storms or the orbs that come with them. For, the orbs are only the School Guardians.”
“How many Guardians are there? I said.
“Seven.” Pedro said.
“Anything else?” I said.
“Curfew is at 10pm and the room with a black dragon statue is forbidden.” Pedro said.
“I understand.” I said.
Pedro turned back into an orb of light. He flew out the window. I closed the window. Lightning hit the orb and Pedro materialized back into himself as he fell to the ground. I opened the window.
I crawled out into the storm. I closed the window behind me. I touched Pedro as he opened his eyes. Raindrops fell on top of me as Pedro looked at me.
“Thanks for saving my life, Skyrid. If there’s anything I can do to repay you, just name it.”
Two Syirics appeared. They were basically rattlesnakes with wings. They blew fire as the rain turned it into smoke.
“Save me from these creatures from Rakif.” I said. Pedro stood up. He clapped. Lightning streamed out of his hands and hit the Syirics as they caught fire. They shrieked as the fire was quenched by the rain.
Pedro clapped again. The Syirics froze in midair as they shattered to pieces. I became drenched by the rain and a green orb appeared. It materialized into Natasha. Natasha grabbed our hands as a gray portal appeared.
We all walked into it. We appeared back in my dorm.
“Everyone, this is Natasha. She’s one of the seven guardians of this School.” Pedro said.
A green portal appeared as Natasha and Pedro walked into it. It disappeared. We all gathered around the fireplace. On top of it was a pedestal with a red orb carved into it.
Jaren looked at me.
“I reckon’ we should start telling our stories about our Malfunctions. I’ll go first. 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 onto 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 it. At a later time, I started to respond and I woke up not knowing what had just happened.
The Lifeguard 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.”
Parser looked at Jaren.
“I believe you. You had a possession though. Not a malfunction. Your powers tried to possess you.” he said.
“Yeah, I know. I still survived it because Ben saved my life.” Jaren said.
“I’ll tell my story next. 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. Caitlyn looked at William.
“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 said.
“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. Chaser looked at all of us.
“My story is pretty unique. I was sleeping. I woke up. I noticed I was sleeping on top of an orb of light.” he said.
“Yeah.That’s pretty crazy. I would’ve never guessed you had that bad of a malfunction.” I said.
Chaser glared at me.
“I know. But, I’m not crazy. It really did happen.” he said.
“I believe you.” I said.
“I think we all need to go to bed.” Chaser said.
“No. I want to go explore the Castle.” I said.
“Me too.” Parser said.
“I agree, let’s do it.” William said.
I got up. I touched the red orb. We all turned into gray orbs. Our vision was tunneled. We all were sucked into it.
