Immortality..... blessing? or Curse? Was Belle actually beauty? or was she really the beast? So many questions to ask, so little time to ask them. Until Evan Burns finds himself in a situation in which death is no longer a problem.
It was raining. But it usually rained. At least that’s what I had noticed. When I had first moved here from Texas it was fine, but now it rained every day. I had moved from the top of the world to the bottom, the middle of southern California. My name is Luke Taylor, or at least it was before the games, but where are my manners, you don’t even know what the games are. Every two years an alien species hosts a series of tests, they make the contestants fight physical and mental challenges. Of course for a 16 year old this would seem impossible. Let me take you back to where it all began.
It was night and I sat in his bed. Three years ago that night his dad had passed away from heart failure, on my birthday, I had only been eleven. But here I was sitting in my room on his birthday crying. Early that morning, I had gone into my father’s study and found an old journal that his father had written as a boy. I had read about how my dad had skipped school, how he had been the weird kid at school, because he didn’t care what everyone else thought. I thought about my friend Shawn and how he thought like that. It drove the teacher’s crazy, and most of the popular people, but his real friends thought he was amazing for being that way. Although sometimes it got him in a lot of trouble, like the time he told the principal he looked stupid in a school t-shirt, or the time the science teacher’s jacket caught on fire, he told her she looked hot. That was Shawn. I kept reading about my dad, and how he had once jumped off his house onto a trampoline. It sounded fun until, I found out the trampoline ripped when his dad had landed. That changed my mind very quickly. Then I read about how his dad had accidentally knocked a replica sword of the wall into a fish tank, at his friend’s house. It only impaled two fish. By then I couldn’t take it anymore, if I kept reading he might not be able to stop laughing. I got up and went to his back yard. I hopped the fence; it was only five feet tall, had a solid top, and was made of metal. Behind my house was a canyon; all around the canyon were pieces of a plane that had crashed forty-three years ago, twenty –nine years before I was born. I liked to explore the wreckage. I walked down a hill into the tail of the plane where the luggage usually was. I started looking around; I found a golf club, a brief case filled with socks, a broken rusted phone, and a little item that looked like a sports wrist watch. I pressed a button on it and the watch and it wrapped itself around his wrist. I pulled on it trying to get it off, but it wouldn’t budge. I started pressing buttons trying to get it to let go and I suddenly felt a sharp pain. The second button shot a signal flare up into the sky from the center of the watch, and that’s when everything went dark. When I woke up his head hurt like crazy. The watch was gone but instead I had a ring. It made me look like I was married. I scanned my surroundings, and found that I was strapped to an operation table that was in the middle of what looked like a jail cell. I wondered what had happened. Just then a man walked into the cell, he was tall, maybe 5/4, had white hair, pale white skin, and a long scruffy beard. He walked up to me and started to examine me.

Today was the day he would find out, if he got accepted to Necromancer Academy. His mom and dad had been 2nd class Necromancers, which means they could only control the undead. In the world of magic there were three styles of magic, the first was elemental, the second was Necrotic, and the third was draconic. Elemental magic was just that, controlling the elements, fire, water, ice, nature, earth, and wind. Necrotic was controlling the undead and the spark of life, the spark of life was the ability to take away life and to give it back, if learned properly you could even control the spark like lightning. The last form of magic was draconic, now draconic magic used elemental magic in the sense that if you were chosen by a dragon, you would then pick an element and they would bestow their power unto you, which was the strongest magic known to mankind.
“GET OUT OF THE WAY!” Doctor Sara Ophelia yelled.
Three doctors ran down the hallway with a young boy on a stretcher, an ambulance had just picked him up from a car crash. A garbage truck had run a red light and nailed a family in a mini-van. The boy was the only one who survived, and if they didn’t him to an operating room and clear this shrapnel from his spine none of this family would survive. They pulled into the room, tore off his shirt, and started the removal.
