The Journey

"So how do we get to the school?" asked Daniel Marleigh. He was still not sure about this new school they were going to. And he didn't of himself as any sort of hero. Especially one with elemental powers. But he was still excited. At least he was getting away from the dreaded boarding school he was in right now. He had started going to the boarding school since the age of five.

He already wrote a note to Arthur and Calvin and told them that he was leaving. He wondered what they will make of the news. Daniel secretly hoped they could visit but he knew that was a false hope. If this was a secret superhero boarding school that no one had heard off, it must be off limits for 'normal' human beings.

"We walk" said Igor. "Uhh ok, and how far is it to the school?" asked Daniel. "About 15 miles from here." Daniel looked at him like it was an elaborate joke. "We better get going now if we want to reach the school by tomorrow afternoon." he said as if reading Daniel's mind.

And so they walked. They went east of the boarding school. Daniel was surprised how well Igor knew his directions. They walked through the plains stopping once in a while. After 6 miles of walking, they decided to set up camp at the edge of the forest. There didn't seem to be any sign of life in that desolate area. The only thing Daniel could see was a few trees here and there. Maybe a hill or two if they were lucky. Daniel's legs ached from all the walking. He sighed in relief when Igor said they were going to take a break.

The two companions sat around the fire. They sat on two large rocks. Igor seemed to take the journey with ease. On the otherhand, Daniel was really worn out. His clothes were dirty. All they could eat was bread. Daniel chewed on a piece of bread whilst Igor looked up at the rising moon. He seemed to be a completely different person at night. He looked stronger and more confident. He looked intimidating. They hadn't talked in a while so Daniel tried to break the awkwardness between them. "Tell me what all the elemental powers are." It turned out more commanding than he wanted it to be.

Igor looked up suddenly. Daniel fell back in surprise. Sometimes he wandered what was going on inside his head. "The elements..." he began.

"So those are the 9 elements that were passed down" said Igor...

Daniel listened intently through all of it not saying a word. This was all too much to take in. Soon, he feel asleep. Igor smiled at him. He could sense something special about the boy lying in front of him. He moved Daniel into the grass using his powers. His eyes shone a dark grey.

THE NEXT DAY:

They kept walking for a while longer and they climbed over a hill. Daniel was exhausted. He heard Igor say they were nearly there. Daniel took a deep breathe as they climbed over the hill. He stopped breathing for a few seconds at the sight of the huge castle like structure. "That's the Elemental Hero school" Igor said with a smile...
