well here's my story so far...
Prologue
It had been 3,000 years since the people of planet sunia celebrated anything special since the events that had befallen the previous royal families that have taken the throne. But today was special for the people of sunia because they were going to be celebrating my sister’s 4th birthday today and to honor her they bestowed upon her lots of gifts plus a cake in her name. I was to busy training with my masters of swordsmanship, sorcery, and tactics on the battlefield. About half way into a day’s worth of training, my mother had sent a royal servant for me with a message:
Dear Striker,
Please come to your sister’s birthday celebration it would make her so happy to know her brother cares about her birthday.
Love,
Mother
It seems like whenever I get the chance to train like I’m supposed to my mother seems to always find a way to interrupt my training. But there’s no way for my master’s to complain because she’s their queen and my mother. I quickly got back into my royal outfit and made my way to the celebration in the lunch hall. My sister was the first one to spot me entering the lunch hall before my parents noticed me.
“Brother I am so glad you came to my birthday celebration and mother will be please to hear you came to the celebration despite her letter to you†said Sheron.
“Yeah except my master’s are not thrilled with mother interrupting my training which father wanted†said Striker.
“It’s not going kill you to celebrate my birthday once a year and besides I always come to your birthdays every year†said Sheron.
“Yeah because unlike me you don’t have to train everyday from dawn to dusk†said striker.
Later that day I went out to the balcony that was outside my room and began to wonder why my mother always interrupting my training when it was my father’s wish for me to become stronger then him. I also began to wonder what she was trying to prevent me from becoming or scared of. After thinking for awhile I decided to go see my father about some things that mom was afraid of. So I left my room and went across the hall into father’s room which he was busy cleaning his sword.
“What’s matter my son†Said my father.
“I have some questions that I would like to ask you†said striker.
“Go ahead I’m listening†said my father.
“Why is mom always interrupting my training with my masters and what is she trying to protect me from?†said Striker.
My father just sat their in his chair and close his eyes trying to think of what to say to me. Of all the times I known father this is the first time he took some time to think of an answer. Then my father got up and began walking over to his window looking over the palace court yard that’s when finally decided to answer me.
“The Reason your mother always interrupted your training is because at the time of your birth she found out you had powers beyond what I dreamed of having†said the King.
“Except that still doesn’t explain why she’s afraid of me training everyday and I think there is something else you are not telling me. What is it you and mom are hiding from me and I want to know the truth?†said striker.
“I’m sorry son but I promised your mother that I wouldn’t reveal anything else from the day of your birth please forgive me†said my father.
“Fine whatever I going to bed, see you in the morning father†said striker.
The next morning I received a message from my mother and I took the message from my mother’s servant. After the servant left I open the letter from my mother and begin reading the message:
Dear Striker,
I am sorry for keeping secrets from you but must understand that there are something’s that are best not knowing. I do hope you can forgive me for this but I’m doing what I think is best for you.
Love,
Mother
I put the message away so I could go outside to train but before I could I heard someone knocking on my bedroom door.
“Come in†said striker.
One of the palace guards came in with something to tell me and I noticed my sister waiting out side.
“Sorry my lord for bothering you but there is someone outside the palace gates who wishes to see you sir†said the guard.
“I understand let him in and escort him to my room†said striker.
“As you wish my lord†said the guard.
The boy outside the palace gate followed the guards up the stairs to my room where I was waiting. The young boy entered my room looking a bit nervous at first until he spoke.
“My lord, I came here seeking masters to train under and was wondering if you could ask your masters to allow me to train under them†said the boy.
“I can’t guarantee that you will be allowed training under them because they are royal trainers to me and I am not sure if my father will allow it†said striker.
“I understand my lord if I am unable to train under them I will seek elsewhere for a master to train under†said the boy.
“Could you please tell me your name so that I could ask my father to help you find a master to train†said striker.
“My lord, my name is Alexander Tote†said Alexander.
The boy was escorted out of the palace by the same palace guards that brought him to me. There was something strange about this boy that came to see me and one reason is that it is unusual for commoner boy like him to even think of disturbing the royal family. The boy was also seeking to be trained by royal masters that train me daily and I would like to know why but like my mother there is things not meant to be known. After meeting Alexander I left my room for my daily training with my master’s. My sister decided it was time for her to start a training regiment and decided to ask our father for permission to train under the same masters as me. As luck would have it our mother quickly forbid Sheron from training with me but our father would probably allow Sheron to train despite mother’s objections. I know how mother is feeling but I would like to have a stronger sister than her being weaker than me.
On my way to training I felt something wrong with me in the way of my powers and some how I didn’t feel the same as of a few hours ago. I decided that I would go back to my room and summon my masters to me and let them know I don’t feel quite right today. Meanwhile my masters had alerted my father to my summoning and so he decided to summon the royal physician to my room as well. My sister got worried when she saw the royal doctor running by her at a fast pace and wondered what was going on. The doctor arrived at my room along with my father and sister who still had a worried look on her face.
“Can you examine him Dr. Nako†said my father.
“Of course my lord†said Dr. Nako.
The Doctor began examining me to see why I don’t feel quite right and he had a assistant bring him has power meter to see if my powers were ok. The first thing he had me do was to take off my shirt so he can apply the sensors directly on me. While the doctor was placing the sensors both the doctors assistant and my sister noticed some weird looking symbols on my skin. But the doctor began noticing them as well as my father. The doctor immediately had the assistant record the symbols on paper so he can research them later.
“Well I found out from my power meter has indicated that your son’s powers have gone dormant for the time being except it will leave him a slight weaker physically and mentally. But for now I leave to research those symbols on your sons skin†said Dr. Nako.
“But what is happening to my son doctor†said my father.
“Right now it is still unclear to me what is happening to your son my lord†said Dr. Nako.
“Doctor is my brother going to get better anytime soon or is it going to be a waiting game†said Sheron.
“Is ok with you my lord to take a tissue sample from your son so I can look at it under a microscope†said Dr. Nako.
“You may do whatever it takes to find out what is ailing him†said my father.
The doctor took a tissue sample from me and proceeded out of the palace going through the gates that were opened up for him. The Next day I woke up from my bed and noticed the symbols that were on me had disappeared overnight. I also was aware that powers had gone dormant for the time being which left me in a weaken state. The doctor came running to the palace to report to my father about my condition.
“Your majesty I have good news and bad news about your son’s condition†said Dr. Nako
“Tell me the bad news first doctor†said my father.
“Well the bad news is that despite what happen to your son last night was neither sickness nor an ailment†said Dr. Nako
“Ok so tell me the good news doctor†said my father.
“Well after spending all night researching the symbols on your son and to my understanding there are some ruins north of here that might provide some answers as to the cause of your son’s condition†said Dr. Nako.
“Thank you doctor for the good news†said my father.
My father later told me about some ruins to north that I should check out myself. So I decided to spend the next day preparing for my trip to the ruins in the north. I also begin to doubt the doc’s advice that I should go to some ruins in order to find some clues about my ailment. My sister shared the same doubts as me about the ruins.
Two days later….
I managed to make it to the ruins when I noticed something weird about this place. The weird thing about this place is that my powers have reawakened and my superhuman abilities have returned. After realizing my powers reawaken I made my way inside the ruins to find some clues about the symbols on me. I got half way into the ruins win I felt the ground shake and noticed the entrance from which I entered had caved in. After the entrance collapsed I heard foot steps behind and noticed Alexander with my sister with her hands tied calling me to save her. My doubt’s about the doctors advice was correct and that he led me to a trap that my father believed to hold clues to my abnormal state.
“Alexander! Why do you hold my sister hostage?†said striker
