Agon: an orgin story, part 3

2 Weeks later

Well somehow Detective Terrior managed to keep his promise, because there I was at the crappiest orphanage in town. The place was made of wood and had planks falling off! I sighed as a worker came out to greet me, I had been trying to keep my mind off my family, but after this boring routine of meeting a worker, them saying sorry for my loss, and repeat, I was in a bad mood by the time I got to my room.

The worker beside me decided to introduce me to the other boys. I almost wish she hadn't, almost. "Boys this is August, he's going to be here for awhile, so I want you to treat him as one of the family." The boys all glared at me, I was feeling that old family vibe already. " But I see we are out of beds so he'll just have to share with..." I did not like were this was going. "Duncan!" she finished, picking out the meanest looking kid in the room, this guy was clearly the leader here, and probably the reason why didn't have any friends for the entire time there. The worker walked away, and I she did I heard her mumble "What a rude kid, he didn't say anything to anyone!"

Duncan got up off his bed, were he had been sitting. This kid looked mean, walked mean, even talked mean. I wonder when he made the choice to become a stereotype. "Listen up punk, there is no way in hell I'm sharing my bed with you, you'll just have to sleep on the floor." he snarled. Feeling the love again. "You know what Duncan, how about you drop the act, it's very cliché. Look that bed has two mattress, and two pillows, I'm sure I could get another blanket. So why don't we just spilt mattress and pillows. You can even have the frame."

That's when I feel a sharp pain to the jaw, that sent me to the floor. Duncan had punched me. "No one calls me cl-cl."

"Cliché." I tell him, trying to get up.

"Thanks." he says, punching me down again. Then came the kicking of me. The others were chanting now

"Beat the meat. Beat the meat..." It was crazy, I had only been here for thirty minutes and I was already being beat up. Then I figured out why. I wasn't going to let this cliché @#$%^&* make an example of me. This is what happens to people who speak out of line. This wasn't going to continue. I rolled out from under his foot, which made him lose his momentum, and while he was off balance I got up and pushed him from behind! Though some of his boys caught him and stood him up. Dang, I had to get me some minions.

I was getting mad now really mad, up until now I had been humoring this fight, but now I felt something, boiling inside me making madder. Then suddenly right when Duncan was about to punch me. The world just... stopped! Everything but me just stopped, nothing moving! I looked around, noticing how stupid Duncan looked stopped in mid punch. Then the anger came back, and I decided to take him out now. I grabbed his outstretched arm and flipped him over. Time went back to regular. Duncan was on the ground looking confused. "Yeah..." I said walking out of the room. "You're sleeping on the floor tonight" As I walked away I realized something. I had just dethroned Duncan and now I was never going to have any friends, because I scared everyone in that room.

Agon: an origin story, Part 2

Two weeks after "NOW"

I woke up in cold sterile hospital room. It was a brightly painted place which suggested happiness, where there was none. Of course I figured this out after the grogginess. There was a smiling nurse next to my bed. Her smiling again suggested happiness. "Wh- where is my Mom and D- Dad" I managed to croak out.

The nurse looked around, as if she was looking for someone else to answer my question.This went on for a while, I noticed she wasn't smiling anymore. Then finally she says "You- your parents didn't make it out of the fire, and nobody could fine your sister." she says almost to quickly. Almost.

"Wh-what fire? You- you're lying! You have to be lying!" then everything went dark.

When I woke up there was a different nurse. She was asleep, but when I croaked out "H-hello..." she immediately sprang up, like someone had screamed fire. I continued, slowly regaining my voice "where's my mom?" she muttered something under her breath, but I didn't need her to answer, I had remembered what happened by now. I changed subject, trying to keep my mind off. it "What happened to the nurse that was there first?

"She was fired."

"For?"

"For telling what happened so early. Nobody was supposed to tell you until you were awake for a few days." She was doing a wonderful job of keeping my mind off it.

"How long was I out."

"For five days."

"Five days!"

"Yes, but while you were asleep. A detective came to talk to you. You can come in now, Mr. Terrior.

"I really don't want to talk about parents right now." I said, already knowing what the detective wanted to talk about. "Buck up kid." he said walking into the room, smoking a cigar, and for some reason wearing a trench coat in July. His presence did not suggest happiness. "My parents died when I was two." he said that to make it sound like he had it worse. Though it didn't. "Now talk to me, did you feel any anger toward your parents." I couldn't believe what he was suggesting, and the nurse didn't look impressed either. I decided to let him have it, though I was going to regret it later. "No I didn't, but I feel some anger toward you, you @#$%*.

"Excuse me?"

"Boo-hoo my parents croaked when I was two! So even though I didn't know them, I'm going to play bad cop, and make others miserable. I don't give a @#$% Dirty Harry. I lived with my parents and sister for sixteen years, and I'm not going to let ruin their memory by accusing me of killing them!" the nurse was gone, she had probably left.

"Whatever kid, all I know is that we have is evidence that says that someone set fire to the building. You're a suspect for doing that." I was steaming mad now, but also confused why would someone set our house on fire?

It didn't matter I was really ticked with this detective.  "Get out of my room,(dirty name goes here)." He turns and looks at me. I might have pushed to far.

"You know what kid? I'm mad now. I may not show it, but I'm mad, you think your life is hell now. Wait until I'm through with it." And on that happy note, he walks out of the room.

Agon: an orgin story, Part 1

China ( 3 months before "NOW" )

"...And here we have the Great Wall."

"Yeah I can see that," I thought.

Cue tourists taking tons of pictures. Cue the rambling tour guide and ACTION. That is exactly what happened on that trip to the Great Wall. The Tour guide blabbed, tourists took pictures, and the Tour guide talked some more.

I sighed and leaned on the wall. When I had been told I was going to China this was not what I expected. Just then my principal stomped up to me.

" August Summers..." he yelled "Get off of the wall!"
" But sir I'm not on the wall."
" Then stop leaning on it!" he finished, and gave me one last look, before stomping off to yell at some other guy stepping out of line. Principal Chalmers is a weird man. Imagine if you will, a short, bald, pudgy man, somewhere in his sixties, who waddles when he walks, and then you have our principal. He also has some anger management issues. Some kids in our school say he once got so mad he turned green, either that or he needed to puke.

In fact speak of the devil. "August Summers, that is the second time you have been leaning on the wall!"
"Actually sir it's the first."
"And how is that" he said, grinding his teeth as he waited for my answer.
"I never got off of it the first time. So technically it's the second you caught me... sir." he grunts and walks away.

Funny story why I'm here in China, being yelled at. You see earlier in the school year the high school won a raffle for tickets to China, but when we won the school realized it was only for one homeroom. So they held another drawing to see which class would go and my class won. It was supposed to be for the teacher and students, but our principal tagged along to "supervise". Though I think he's really here because, lets face it whens the next time he going to get a chance to go to China?

Anyway Principal Chalmers ( I wonder what his first name is. ) leaving left me alone to study the wall. I could not believe the pain and suffering it took to make this wall. I wonder if it really ever kept China safe, but as I was studying, I noticed something, a loose brick. I looked around, strangely there was no one to see what I did next. I started to push on the brick. I can't explain well, but it felt like something was calling me. From inside the wall! I kept going with my task of pushing that    @#$%-ing brick, an entire section of the wall swung open like a door, revealing... a man.

BEGGING,

SWEARING,

THREATNING,

To a stick of wood. "Please, please, please give it to me."

Then the stick spoke. "Finally a prophet more worthy than you." meaning the man I guess. Not the prophet part, the worthy part. Then red lightning leaped out of the stick and hit me! I t the most painful moment of my life. The electricity flowing through my body, coursing through my vein. Shocking what felt like every part of my body. Then the man leaped onto me, and pulled me out of the lightning's arc. I started to thank him, but he started yelling and going crazy. "You, you stole what was rightfully mine. I am going to find you and kill you!" he then ran out of the wall. I stood there a moment, stunned by what just happened. Then I came to, looked around to see if anyone had saw that, then ran out of the room... also.

Agon: an orgin story, prolouge

"NOW"

FIRE,

BURNING,

SCREAMING,

CRYING,

LAUGHTER,

DARKNESS,

1000's of years ago (more or less)

Long ago in ancient China Dragons lived in peace with humans, but when an foolish Sorcerer became jealous of the Dragons power, he attacked! The battle was long and hard, but the Sorcerer was eventually defeated! The other humans witnessed this great battle, and thought the Dragons had attacked their loved Sorcerer. As punishment they banished the Dragons underground never to be seen or heard from again.

The Sorcerer then rejoiced because he had stolen some of the Dragons power and placed it in his wand. Now with his mortal enemies defeated he tried to use his new power. He failed to control it. 600 people died.

The Sorcerer knew he couldn't destroy his wand so he hid, and during the construction of The Great Wall he made a secret room and placed his wand inside the Wall itself! Though the Sorcerer decided that hiding his wand wasn't enough, he had to fix his mistakes. So along with the power, he placed a piece of his own soul in the wand, in hopes that one day he would find a prophet to find the Dragons and bring them to upper-earth. That day he decided his prophet would be Agon.
