The light scattered across the corridor. A small child held a wooden sword and was fencing with an invisible man. He dodges to the right and stumbles into his mothers arms. He giggles uncontrollably. “Momma, some day I’m going to make you proud.”

The mother smiles and looks at the baby girl in her hands her gray hair glowing like the moon bright but with the help of the sun.

“You need not impress me Lysander. I already have two beautiful children I need nothing more. If only your father could see you now,” His mother’s smile glowed in the golden drop of sunshine.

It all happened so fast. The door crashed to the ground as the men walked in their red cloaks. Lysander wanted to fight them but he was knocked under the table, cruelest of all, he didn’t shut his eyes.

The baby girl fell to the ground as the men took his mother out of her grasp. The baby’s chubby little hands reached for the glowing emerald that fell off the chain on her mother’s neck.

Lysander felt so helpless. As his mother resisted the men and was dragged out the door, “Momma! Momma!” he sobbed, it did nothing.

Lysander woke with a jolt and hit his head on the low ceiling of the orphanage. He screams in agony. As he rubs his aching head he hears his sister’s screams. He thought the gift had long been disposed and long gone but after the years of heartbreak after loosing his mother. He barely used it. Ly sander’s body smoked and blazed. As his body was engulfed in flames he closes his eyes. The fire doesn’t hurt it actually tingles with comfort. As the fire dies down Lysander’s body disappears with it.

“GIVE IT TO ME!” Coin jumps and tries to get the emerald out of the Instructor’s hands.

Coin missed as he yanked the emerald just out of her reach. Lysander’s figure appeared out of no where and caught Mr. Strax by surprise. He swept his feet off the ground with a swift kick and put his mouth to the ear of his teacher.

“No one messes with my family and lives to tell,” he seethed with as much venom as possible. He got hold of his sister’s hand and they walked down the hall way.

“What did you do!? You know what hey told us about our powers? It isn’t the time?” Coin says as Lysander looks out into space.

“Those powers are given to us by our father and I plan to use his gift well,” Lysander says with a touch of anger. How could Coin be talking like this? Like they had no father and never did.

“Want to know what Lysander? You! YOU ALWAYS TALK ABOUT FATHER! WELL IF HE CARES ABOUT US AND LOVES US SO MUCH? WHY ISN’T HE HERE? WHY ARE WE IN THIS STUPID ORPHANAGE?” She let’s go of Lysander’s hand and runs down the hall way.

Coin paced her dorm which was cluttered with broken vases and toppled book cases. Coin tends to break stuff when she’s angry. Coin heard someone coming to the room and then snapped into place. No one could see what she had done or her cry. She took out her hand and closed her eyes. The hand changed colors red... blue... green and then a blinding light flooded the room. Coin then stumbled backwards and toppled down on het mesy cot.

That night Lysander dreamt of his father wearing the silver cloak of the Tepricon Army his father’s gray eyes staring down the battlefield with a javelin in hand. He throws it at a giant of a man who looks about 8 feet tall. The man stares at the javelin hurtling towards his chest as if staring it down. It might have just then Lysadner’s imagination but it looked as if the javelin was slowing down. Then the javelin actually started zooming backwards. Lysander was so amazed he forgot who it was heading to, his father. Then his dream went black and he heard a huge thud. He woke up breathing rapidly.

Coin walked into the dorm. “Well looks like you slept well.”

Lysander rolled his eyes, “Hey beautiful. What made that nest in your hair?”

Coin’s eyes shot daggers at him. “It’s only funny when I do it.”

Lysander grinned and rubbed his sister’s head. Coin got out of his grasp and they walked to the cafeteria. Out of the corner of Lysander’s eye he saw a man as dark as a shadow but before he could ask who he was the man melted into the darkness. Mr. Strax walked up and greeted them with concealed venom. He smiled evilly. “Good news someone actually wanted to adopt you,” He said to Lysander he grinned and then added, “and only you.”

Lysander was instantly filled with rage. “WHAT?” Coin still stood there mouth open.

Strax snickered and walked off. Lysander glared at him throwing invisible javelins at his back. Coin stuck out her tongue. “Can you believe that creep? Thinking he can separate us?”

Lysander just nodded his head and walked away. What if Strax wasn’t lying?

Lysander looked out the window at the Tepricon land looking for himself, his father, and an explanation of what will happen next.
