The choosen

[Pearldragon2662]

A warm summer sun of the land of Karnith crept into Brians room waking him. Brian gave a lazy yawn and strech as he slowly made his way out of bed. stubbling to the privy Brian paused to look at his skrawnny 16 year old body. WIth bright green eyes and dark brown hair he looked like he was 13 to most people. With a short sigh Brian made the rest of the way to get ready for another long day.
How he hated going to school. Brian paused in front of his mom. Brian was wearing a short whit tunic and trousers. " Mom why do i have to even go? It's not like I am going to have any powers." Brian was refering to his school for young wizards. He was the only in his homeland that hadn't shown the slightest point of having some power.
This wasn't the first time they had this talk and Brian felt the same line comming....
"Your whole family has gone to that school and you will too,powers or not it's a tradition. And you might one day get your powers and a white robe." she retorted back. Brian new very well that he wasn't going to get a wgit robe. All wizards show some sign of power at the age of 8 and if not they were to work within their family as a dissipointment for the rest of their lives. How Brian wished he could get a robe. He'd show everyone that he wasn't no weakling. Everyday it was the same routin... he would go to the wizards school and be the game the other boys in his class liked to "play" with. Some day these boys would do great things and only one would get to be choosen by a great dragon!
Brian left with his head down and slowly walked to school. He pased the other villigers on his way and they all said a friendly hello as they do every morning. The air was warm with a hint of a small breese as the first sight of the school came ever closer. He was suspecting he was going to get picked on first thing but it didn't happen. The boys didn't pay him no mind.
The wizards school was four stories high with grey bricks that stood out for all to see. There were few windows as so the boys would not get distracted threw classes. Those with windows were for the potin classes in case a student did something wrong. As Brian rounded behind the building he sensed a prickling feeling in the back of his kneck. "That's weird," he thought. "I have never felt this before." He shugged the feeling off just as four of the oldest boys rounded the corner with the look of a preditor on their faces. Brian froze, no point in running, they all could run faster then him anyway........
Few hours later he wok to find a healer standing over him. The old mann had white hair and smiled as he saw his patient awake. "Ah, glade to see your up now." He handed Brian a cup of water.
"Thank you."
"No need,and no you don't have to tell what happened. I already know and they are going to be punished."
Brian didn't know what to say. After all this time noone had helped him and he had no friends to speak of."Uh.. Sir.. why did you even help me? I am a noone. I have no powers and I can't do anything right except be a toy to the others." As brian spoke the tingling feeling came back this time only alot stronger.He felt rather warm and light all at the same time. Brian started to move and the healer put a hand on the boys shoulder.
"I helped you because it's my job and I have been looking for you a long time Brian."
Vision starting to blure brian asked" Why?.. Wha..t's ha..pping.t-t-t me?" He was starting to see stars and thought he was going to die when he could no longer hold it. A bright light poured into the room and the healer paid him no mind but went to the windo ledge an jumped out.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" He screamed and writhered to the floor. Brian reache d out and grabbed a table leg and it started to burn!! Not realizing what he done he only cared on the pain through his body now. "I'm going to die," he thought and slowly started to fall.
"I think not," An un-known voice said into his thought. Brian slowed down and felt the world slowly comming back to him. The flames that were licking the wood abrutly stopped and Brian lay there and fell into a deep sleep.
This time when he wok he found himself home in bed. Barley able to move or even talk his mother talked to him with tears. "I thought i lost you>" she cried and put her hand s on his.
Before he could een think his school master tapped on the door and walked in. A man in his late 50's with greying hair and bug eyed glasses walked in. "He has the Fire gift. I am sure of it." His mother just went into tears and Brian didn't understand what wa going on.
" Are you sure? He's 16 and has never shown any sort of power."
" It is and there is also one other thing.."
Brian strained to hear, trying not to slip back into sleep.
"The broze draagon areo't is here for him!"
Brians mother could barley speak."W-w-w-wat! he has been choosen by a bronze?! That means only one thing. My son is the most powerful and worthy of all wizards."
Brian wanted to speak but heard another voice in his head. "DOn't worry. I have found you at last Brian of Karnith. I am Areo't the Bronze. You are the choosen and I will halp you learn to control your power." Something the voice had was a bit familiar.
"Yes choosen now think," Bronze replied.
Brian thought and it came sudden."Your the healer! And the pricklie feeling was you near me. Correct?" he thought back.
The master and mother lefet the room to dicuss what was going to happen. "Yes I was and Am the healer. I can choose whatever form I want. As for the prickling that was a cobination of the power and me and i will teach you how to use it."
WIth that last thought Brian drifted off into a dreamless sleep. Areo't appeared as a lab dog and came threw the window. he smelled around before taking place at the foot of the bed. Guarding his choosen he thought, "This is only thie beginning. We have many dangers and one right here is in his own home. To be choosen is to have many more dangers and the most is family."
