Chapter 1: By Meteor's Splendor


	"Boys, please get cleaned up and put on your best clothing. It's
nearly time." Mrs. Gren, our "mother" told us. We lived in an orpahanage,
we being the twenty young men ranged from sixteen to ninteen years of
age. I was the youngest. And by far, the most shy one.

	"Come on Zax, move on," nudged a boy behind me. Kristopher, of
course, I should have guessed. He was like my older brother, the oldest in
the group. He pretty much saved me from time to time whenever I was in
trouble. We all washed our hands and helped each tidy up as best as we
could. Everyone seemed to want to help me look my best though, for some odd
reason, everyone had taken an odd liking to me. I wasn't complaining
though. By the end of it, I looked far better than the others and when I
timidly told the others this, they brushed it off by saying that I
naturally looked drop-dead gorgeous. I quickly shut my mouth after that.

	"Come along my dears. We don't want to be late. You all hear? I
expect you to be on your best behavior? Oh my, look at Zax everyone. This
is what I want all of you to look like. But there's no time for that, so
let's move." I blushed a deep red as everyone let out a snigger; after all,
it was because of them I looked like it though they said they just brought
out my inner looks. Whatever that meant. We all started walking toward the
town square where it was supposed to take place. Upon entrance, our eyes
were greeted with a marvelous feat I still can't forget to this day. Flags
in all colors adorned the streets and in the middle, a tower had been
setup, completely decorated with lights of all colors and all. At the very
top stood none other than the Secretary to the Royal Council.

	"I believe that is the last of them. So let us begin. You have all
been gathered here for entrance into training for the war. There are two
categories, warriors and wizards. Each of these has two subsets, offensive
and defensive, and in turn, those have more subsets and so on. Much more
will be explained into the camps that you will be going to. My job is to
decide under which foremost category you belong to, warrior or wizard. This
will take a while as I must see each one of individually. Now, if all of
you could make a circle, it would be beneficial."

	Kristopher lined us all up in a circle and joined us with the other
boys rummaging around, trying to figure out where to stand. Kristopher,
being the wise man that he is, went and helped all the others. After
finishing, he came back and stood next to me.

	"You there, young man. What is your name?"

	"Kristopher Attucks Bradford. You lord!"

	"Very well Kristopher, come close to me." Kristopher immediately
stole across the space until he was directly next to the Secretary and
kneeled down to show his respect. "Come here and kneel down and prop your
head up on this cushion. There we go, now relax and let your mind wander."
Kristopher closed his eyes and the Secretary placed his hands on
Kristopher's temples. Not a moment had passed before the Secretary let go
with a jerk, immediately stood up and called forth his servant. "Arm him,
and then fight him."

	"As you wish my lord."

	"But sir, I know not how to fight."

	"You know more than you believe Kristopher. Just pick up the sword
and let free your spirit. But control it so it doesn't do real harm to my
servant. Servant, I know very well how well trained you are, but I want you
to use every last trick you know and try and defeat this man with
everything you have. Is that clear, both of you?"

	'YES LORD!" both screamed.

	"Begin." And begin they did, what a show. I never in my wildest
dreams would have guessed Kristopher could move so gracefully or easily,
and quite deadly with a sword. Swishes and swashes were exchanged as they
sparred, neither gaining the upper hand until Kristopher was able to push
the servant into a corner. "Stop. That is all. Kristopher, take this horse
and immediately set out to the castle Mystiqui." Kristopher looked back at
me with sad eyes and mouthed the words sorry and goodbye. "Wait, there is
more. You wish to see what this boy is to become. Very well, come forward
boy." I stood rooted to the spot, transfixed and unable to move. The others
gave me a slight push and in I tumbled. I quickly made my way to the
cushion and laid my head down on it, closed my mind, and begged that
everything would be ok. Soon enough, I felt fingers on the tip of my head
and on my temples. A sudden pain seared through my mind, as if someone was
trying to read my mind. Instinctively I fought back and was back lashed
with immense power.

	"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" the Secretary and my screams filled the air as we
both clasped our heads and through our noses, blood started dripping. I
immediately was lashed from behind with a blade and stumbled to the ground,
to where I was picked up and thrown into the air. At this moment, I started
losing consciousness and can't remember much. But outside, the fight raged
on. Something in me had stirred, something long asleep, had awoken. And
this new thing didn't relent as it let loose painful throbs around me and
my assailers too flew into the air and started choking from lack of oxygen.

	"Get down, now," said a melodious, pleasant voice I had never
heard. It was replaced with a twang and severe pain through my side, and
then nothing. This time, everything turned black for me.

___________________________________________________________________________


	I woke up with a grunt and my eyes fluttered open and I stared into
the most beautiful, puppy, deep-set turquoise eyes, that didn't seem to be
able to make up their mind between green and blue.

	"Well hello, I see you have finally awakened. I was getting worried
I had put too much power into that arrow of mine," he smiled. Oh my, what a
beautiful smile. I felt butterflies in my stomach. As he put his hand out
for me to grab, the Secretary yelled to not touch me, that I was too
dangerous. Pain seared through my eyes and heart as I pulled myself up,
dusted myself off. As I started walking off, cages dropped from above and I
was trapped.

	"Secretary, what the Hell is this? What is the fucking meaning of
this? Free him immediately. That is a direct order," yelled an infuriated
Prince.

	"I'm so sorry my Prince; I cannot comply with your order. His mind
is very unstable, the slightest thing and he could blow up right now."

	"Please Secretary, he never meant anything. He never even knew he
had powers. Please, set him free my lord," begged Kristopher.

	"Kristopher, I thought I told you to leave!"

	"Forgive me, but I cannot leave my friend and brother behind."

	"Wait that gives me an idea." Using his hands, the Secretary lifted
Kristopher into the air and started pressing on Kristopher's neck with
invisible fingers."

	"SECRETARY! Stop or I will be forced to attack."

	"This is direct orders from my King, to annihilate any problems we
have my Prince."

	"Please, don't hurt him. I beg you, I'll do anything, just don't
hurt him. Please," I started weeping, unable to see my brother being
strangled.

	"Do you agree to execution then for treason and trying to kill
Royalty?"

	"Yes, if it will save Kristopher."

	"NO ZAX!" yelled a struggling Kristopher.

	"Very well, he shall be spared. Try anything on me and I will -"
The Secretary flew into the air and smashed into a rock, falling
unconscious upon contact with the ground.

	"Are you okay Kristopher?" asked a concerned Prince.

	"Yes, thank you so much my Prince." Kristopher immediately ran up
to the bars and tried to pull but to no avail.

	"Here, step aside. I'll do it." The bars were no more and I was
free again. The Prince flashed me a smile and I once more grew week in the
knees. Kristopher caught me before I could fall and let out a small
chuckle. I blushed a deep scarlet. At this, the Prince let out a deep,
heavenly laugh. I turned my eyes to the ground. He approached me and lifted
my chin up until I stared right back into his eyes.

	"What's your name?"

	"Zax my Prince."

	"Age?"

	"Sixteen, my Prince."

	"With decent clothes and confidence, you could definitely pass for
Royalty. And your blush is too cute. Who are your parents?"

	"I do no know my Prince."

	"Really, I'll see to it that you find out soon. Something must have
gone very wrong for both you and the Secretary to be going ballistic like
that. Lucky for you I was in the neighborhood, otherwise you might have
killed each other. Something indeed is very different about you, I can feel
it. But something good. Kristopher would u care to take the horse. As for
Zax, he will ride with me. And the rest of you, we will send another letter
for the next date, as the Secretary cannot carry on. Not a word about this
to anyone. Clear?"

	"YES MY PRINCE!"

	"Then we're off." He took my hand gently, and led me down to a
dragon that was lying down. "Don't worry, he wont bite," he whispered into
my ear, making me slightly shudder with the closeness. He placed his hands
on my waist and hoisted me up onto the neck of the dragon. Then, he pulled
himself up and instead of taking the reigns; he placed the reigns in my
hands and placed his hands over mine, whispering into my ear once more, and
"let's see what you can do."

	"Umm, I'm really not good at this. It would be a very unwise idea
my Prince," I muttered out, still relishing in the closeness.

	"Enough of this my Prince stuff. My name is Eterno, meaning Eternal
in the old tongue. And of course, you can fly this. I'll help you." Eterno
scooted closer to me and placed his hands around my waist before setting
them on top of my hands. He directed my hand's movement and we took flight
and started our journey towards the caste, Elmyru, the stronghold of
Vixuis. Eterno rested his head on my shoulder and took his hands off mine
and placed them on my waist. Every so slowly, he started massaging them. I
let out a whimper. "I've never felt this way for anyone before, and I'm
completely lost in it."

	"My Prince, I mean Eterno, we shouldn't do this. You Royalty, I'm
not."

	"Screw Royalty."

	"Sir, this is probably just some lust or something." At that, the
Prince withdrew his hands and looked straight at the side of my face, as he
was sitting behind me.

	"You know, many people would die just to have sex with me, and here
you are, saying you don't want it. I'm truly bedazzled."

	"Yes, I'm sorry, it's just that -" An arrow shot towards us and hit
the dragon straight in the neck, and the dragon disintegrated. Eterno
clutched me and we remained afloat in the air as the ashes and ruminants of
the dragon fell below us.

	"I never thought I would see the day that I would catch the Prince
preoccupied and not alert."

	"Wyrn, what do you want?"

	"Tisk tisk, temper temper baby, it was always your mistake,"
laughed the cruel, heartless voice of Wyrn.

	"I don't have time for this right now."

	"Oh, but I think I can make worth your time." At that exact moment,
I felt a searing pain engulf my mind and body. I let out an ear-splitting
scream that was sure to be heard by everyone in about a 50 mile radius.

	"WYRN! What the HELL are you doing to him?"

	"Just toying with him, relax." The pain intensified, and through
the tears that rained down my cheeks, I saw more creatures coming up to see
what was going on, all bearing the royal crest of Vixius. "Oh,
reinforcements, of well. Tough luck." And the pain intensified even more. I
could distinctly hear and feel Eterno trying to calm me down. When the pain
reached started reaching unbearable points, something inside of me
snapped. I looked up with cold fury and whispered one word, meteor.

	"You fool! Did you just say meteor. No one can control the
astrological forces but the chosen one. You imbecile." A loud noise
silenced him as all eyes turned towards the sky, all but one pair, which
were fixed on Wyrn, glowing with cold fury. And through the sky, shot a
meteor towards Wyrn. Wyrn let out a small gasp before he tried to flee but
was rooted to the spot by my stare. The meteor fell onto him, creating an
explosion that completely destroyed him, but I managed to contain the
explosion somehow and it did no damage to its surroundings. Somehow, for
some reason, I had just summoned and controlled a meteor - a feat undoable
by even the King of Vixius. All the power drained out of me after the smoke
cleared and I sagged into Eterno's hands and feel unconscious once more.


	Tristan: Hey guyz! How ya'll doing? This is my second story, the
other one, Wykester University, is still in progress. This idea has just
bugged me and I wanted feedback, so yeah, please tell me what you guys
think. This is very different from the other story, as you will recognize
quite quickly, though both are Sci-Fi. Descriptions will be given in due
time, so just wait a little. A little more suspenseful right now, it will
calm down afterwards and pick up once more, so there will be lulls here and
there. Remember, email me. forgotten_secretz@yahoo.com
