The Beginning

Stuart sat in geography class amazed at how equally boring school here and in Ireland was , he’d not been listened to most of the class and instead drew on the table , he first stenciled his name then scribbled it out and made it into a falcon.

Finally the bell rang signaling the end of the school day , Ri had felt the day such a let down as he’d expected some interest to be given him as he foreign but seemed the class was used to such things.

He quietly packed his bag, slung it over his shoulder, and exited the classroom. He’d taken his time and so was one of the very last people out of the school. He’s no soon exited the school ground and saw a spirit of a boy no older then he was, Stuart had come used to seeing spirits as he’d been seeing them since he was twelve.

The Spirit ran straight by him and then came a loud clatter of quick footsteps, a creature double the size of Stuart with a white mask came running by chasing the spirit. Stuart recognize the creature from his dream and for a moment stood in shock but then something clicked in him and he sped after the creature.

He ran after the creature but it wasn’t a choice or a noble act of heroism but pure uncontrollable instinct. He saw the creature stop up a head and feared the worst, he ran to the creatures left and rammed into him, making the creature stumble to its right.

Ri, again on instinct placed himself between the boy and the creature. The creature recover and retaliated by swinging its large firt at Stuart, the punch sent Stuart through the air and hit into a lamppost.

As Stuart staggered to his feet he saw the creature strike the spirit and then prepare to devour him but as he watch something inside of him snapped or changed and like the breaking of a dam Stuart felt a rush of power surge through him, reaching it’s climax at his left hand. The power focused it’s self in a long stream of light at Stuarts left hand then came a solid massive bow.

Stuart wasn’t sure what was going on, he was acting on pure natural instinct. He pulled the string of the bow as bright white light appeared and formed an arrow, after tensioning the string he released the arrow and watched it soar through the air and cut through the creature head and somehow cracks it’s mask.

Stuart said amazed, he never knew such a think was possible let alone it happen to him. He saw the creature vanish before him and so he start to approach the boy but upon stepping closer to the boy, he fled quickly away.

Stuart wasn’t sure what do, he deiced not to pursue the boy as there was no reason but he had so many question and no one to answer them. He soon realized the night had come and he’d be off..
