The Chosen

"Nerd!", yelled James while kicking me. "Oh! Little Adam is going to cry, ist he?" I was used to James bullying me every day, saying that I was a nerd, weak, that I would never be able to do anything, but I always said that I would never let it get into my head. Although this time, there was something different, it was like something broke in me. Maybe I am weak, maybe I will never measure up, maybe I will always be a loser.

I remained after school and rushed to the only place where I could find peace; the library. I sat there for hours remembering every day being humiliated and ridiculed. I cried for hours, but then, I thought to myself. Crying won't help ease me, but a good story will. I could live the world through other peoples visions and minds.

I rummaged in the library for a long time trying to find the perfect book to get me out of this mood. I had read most of the books, and so, most were pale and uninteresting. I kept searching and searching until I found an isolated corridor with only one book at the end of it. Why is this book all alone here? Is this even part of the library? I came closer and closer to the book and reached for it slowly. I was waiting for something to happen, but I pulled the book slowly towards me, panting in fear, as I pulled it towards my chest, my heart stopped, but nothing happened.

Well, that was a near-death experience. I took the book and sat down to read it, the cover was leather and the title read Mystical Dangers and how to Defeat Them. I read the book and discovered many dangerous creatures that we believed were myths; Dragons, Medussa, and the Minotaur are examples. The book was the diaries of a heroic warrior that slew all of these monsters during the Rainessance. The most dangerous of monsters, although, only had a vague picture as a description. The picture showed a big dark cloud with red eyes, and under the picture was some text that said, " No one ever saw Gyvor but the blessed warrior, the 7 weapons' chosen, the only hope for humanity."

Wow! That was unsettling. When I tried to look for how should "Gyvor" be slain, I only found traces of torn out pages. The rest of the pages were blank. I rushed through them only to find a hole in the book with a dagger inside it. No, no, no, no, this can't be happening. What is this!?

I took the dagger out with precaution and looked at the writing on it. It said," You are the chosen, you have immense power, but you need us to unlock it, we represent the 7 continents if you want to find the next weapon look for Latin America."
