I ran faster than I ever had before. Everyone around me was talking but I didn't notice. Later I'd learn I was clocked at one hundred, miles per hour. Though I didn't notice. Didn't care. I just had to get away. Suddenly the sidewalk's crosswalk sign. said "Don't walk", but I didn't stop, instead I jumped.
It felt like I had jumped fifty feet in the air, but all I thought was
"What the hell? Am I the Amazing Jumping-Man now?" I landed in the park across the street, and even after a jump like that, the cops kept coming. "Maybe punching Detective Terrior was a bad idea." I thought. Then the sarcastic side of me thought "Ya think?"
Even though I was now in the park, police bikes kept chasing. Faster and faster I ran. Faster and faster they went. I didn't know what I was thinking, but somehow I picked up a park bench and threw it at them. That bench felt light as air. The bench hit one of the bikes, sending it flying into a tree. The cop had already jumped off before it hit.
"What's up with this kid!!!" One of the final two yelled.
"I don't know but I don't get paid enough to deal with powers!!!" I ignored them and ran ahead even faster. Soon I was so far ahead they couldn't see me with binoculars. I hid under a bridge that went over a small lake. They soon passed over me. "You really aren't paid enough." I thought.
I couldn't believe I punched a cop, but he was asking for it. Wearing a trench coat in summer. It reeks of attention seeker. Did I mention I turned eighteen? I was just at the right age to arrest... for resisting arrest.
I was tired after running. DUH!!! who wouldn't be? Soon I was in lala land. Dreaming of course.
As I slept an old man cane in my dreams. Cliched I know. "August Summers?" he said.
"Yeah."
"You have great power in you. The power of... a dragon."
"Wow. That was really dramatic. I could hear the DA, DA, DA, DA."
"No jokes. Do you recall a time at the Great Wall?"
"With the zappy sticks? Yeah. Also you can stop using big words to impress me." instead of stopping he ignored me and continued.
"Such ignorance!!! That stick was a wand, and I am a sorcerer!"
"Look I believe. Seeing how we talking in my dream, and I could never dream this up. Though you said something about power and dragons and power of dragons?"
"Yes you see, long ago a stole a piece of the dragons power, and placed it in my wand. When the dragons found out about my foolishness. They attacked me and as a result they were banished underground. I then, of course after the dragons were gone, realized my foolishness and placed my wand in the Great Wall along with a piece of my soul, so I could find a prophet to heed my quest.
"And that would be? Wait so I absorbed a piece of your soul? That's why your in my head! Ewww!
"A prophet to bring the dragons to upperearth."
"What if I don't want to?"
"You have no choice. Now arise my warrior."
