Chapter 1: How It All Started…

Six years ago, there were two that were both great swordsmen and purified the evil. The two had a son by the name of Brice and Cook was their last name. Brice was only at the age of nine and didn’t really know what his parents were doing at that time. He was actually curious of where they went after a late night call – they usually wouldn’t return till the next morning. Brice always felt lonely when his parents weren’t here. He also didn’t have many friends since many people believe that his parents are ‘weird’ people and even dangerous to their own child or children. Although Brice heard all the worst insults and filthy comments, he didn’t care because they were his parents.

That night was a stormy one, one that Brice would never be able to forget. Brice’s parents had received a call that night and hurried out saying that they would be back in the morning. As usual, Brice knew that they would return and went to bed early since the storm was quite irritating. Brice was sleeping peacefully only to be awaken by a large bang in the living room. He rubbed his eyes and walked out of his room to see three figures standing there. Two of which looked like his parents and the other looked like any other man wearing a black robe. Brice squinted to notice that his parents were holding swords aimed at the man.

“Leave our son alone Reeve!” His father shouted.

“What makes you think that I want your son?...Or why should I?” The man named Reeve said calmly. Reeve turned towards Brice smiling wickedly and slowly raising his hand towards him. It seemed like there was a long nail extended out towards his and pierced Brice through the shoulder. Brice screamed in pain and fell to the floor with blood leaking out of the wound.

“You’re going to pay for hurting our son Reeve!” His mother hollered at the horrid man.

“Let’s see you try killing me.” Reeve replied licking his bloody ‘nail’.

“Who said we were going to kill you? We’re banishing you!” Brice’s father shouted with rage. His parents recited an incantation aiming it directly at Reeve. This spell was used to banish evil beings but it also would kill the casters. Brice watched all of this happen and after moments, the three vanished.

Present time…

Brice now lives in a dormitory provided by the school board. After that night, his Aunt became his legal guardian but Brice refused to live with her. He didn’t really like being around people and often got insecure at times however, he tried to remain strong. Over all these years, he still had only one friend, and that was James Herald. James had always been there for Brice since his parents’ death or disappearance had a great impact on him.

Brice’s dormitory or ‘so-called’ house was quite simple. It had a bed, bathroom, a desk, chair, an end table (bedside table) and a few lamps here and there. His life was quite simple and not really extraordinary like his parents’ were. Even though his parents are gone, he still is admires his parents highly of their skills although it had made them vanished. He was often called the ‘Isolated Boy’ whose parents were gone overseas to deal with some business. Brice was quite popular with the girls but he didn’t take liking to any of them since he was so used to being alone.
