#1 Two Souls One Body

He awoke to find himself lying in a grassy field. At first he thought he was still laying in his back yard after his final day of eleventh grade, but as he got up he noticed that the grassy plain stretched out farther than his, in fact nothing looked like his backyard. There were mountains surrounding the area and trees scattered around. It wasn't until he looked up that he knew he wasn't at home anymore, there were four suns all gathered in a circle in the sky.

"Think, what exactly did I eat before coming home? That Coke that David gave me, he spiked it didn't he?" but the more he thought about it the more he realized that it was impossible, there were no holes in the can at all.

All of a sudden he felt weird, he felt his legs start to move in their own. Wait, what was going on? He watched as he started to speed up into a run. What was going on now? He wasn't in control of his body! He tried to stop his legs from moving but nothing happened, he just kept running. He could see what looked like a town up ahead, except it looked like one of those old medieval type towns with a stone wall that surrounded the town. He watched as he ran through the town with people yelling as he knocked into them and knocked over their baskets of fruit. What lied ahead amazed him though, a castle standing taller than any building he has seen in any book or seen. It looked to be made out of white marble, which explained why the suns light was reflecting off of it.

He tried once more to get his legs to stop but yet again he couldn't. It was as if someone else was controlling his body. He saw what looked like guards try to stop him but for some reason when they looked at him they stopped in their tracks. Finally he came to a screeching halt as he ran through the double doors that were already opened up.

"What is the meaning of this?" the old man yelled as he came down from his throne.

He looked almost like a king, he had the crown but instead of royal robes he wore some kind of armor.

"Well, speak up!"

Suddenly he heard words come from his mouth that wasn't his, in fact that wasn't even his voice.

"I am truly sorry, but I must speak with you." the voice said.

"Lamios? What are you doing inside this….humans body?"

He listened as he spoke about some big battle with someone called Dashino and how he pretty much died and had to find a body to inhabit before his soul faded away. It was all so confusing to him. Wait a minute, maybe now was his chance, while he wasn't focused on him maybe he could reclaim his body. He spoke out loudly to the old ruler.

"Hello, I'm the audience here, do you want to tell me what the hell is going on?"

"Quiet, you!"

"Don't tell me to be quiet, you took my body from me!"

The king watched as their voices switched back and forth, teen voice, deep voice, teen voice, deep voice.

"Enough! Now look. This may be hard for you two to believe but until Lamios body is recreated you are going to have to share your body with him. Do I make my self clear?"

Jesus, his voice didn't only send shivers up his spine but it caused the room to rumble too.
