The beginning

There was a massive battle happening on the fields of the planet. Millions of humans fighting a losing battle against at least four times as many monsters. Despite the humans fighting desperately the monsters continued to push them back. All of a sudden there was a massive aura released from one of the humans, at the same time an equally powerful aura was released from a monster that looked like a werewolf.

The human and monster dashed at each of and produced a massive shockwave from the collision of the humans sword and werewolfs gauntlets. They both took a step back and fully released their auras, they were so strong that some of the humans and monsters near by got knocked unconscious. Within their auras phantoms appeared, the werewolf had a majestic golden wolf while the human had a blurry dragon (chinese dragon) the dragon let out a mighty roar and the two moved to clash once again.

I woke up with a start and muttered "that was a dragon" shaking off my thoughts about the dream a got out of bed and looked around my small room. It's not the biggest but it's still mine. After getting dressed in my usual attire consisting of a red tank top with a flame design and white shorts I walked in front of my mirror and looked at myself. I'm of average stature and an average face but with crimson colored hair. People think that I dye it but this is its natural color. I walked out of my room and into the front of the house, the front is an open floor plan with the living room on the right and medium size kitchen on the left (from the view after walking into the house). My mother was setting breakfast on the table when she noticed me and said "good morning Ray" I just nodded and said "goodmorning mother".

We sat down and began eating after awhile mother looked at me and said " today is the awakening ceremony" I smiled and said "I know, today I'll finally awaken my ability". Once a year all 18 year olds in the town go through the awakening ceremony where their mana veins will open allowing them to use the world's mana and thus fuel the ability that they will unlock. I'm really looking forward to it but I wonder what ability I'll get, as I sat there thinking mother spoke up and said " after the ceremony there are two things your father left for you" I looked up in shock, my father died when I was eight he left to help his family but never came back. He had left a video message that said if he didn't return then something bad happened to him and continue on without him.

After getting over the shock I was just happy that there was something that he left for me. mother looked at me and said with a proud voice " your father knew you would journey to become strong and that's why he set these things aside for you"

After breakfast we both got up I went to do the dishes while she went to go and get ready for the ceremony. When I was done I looked at my holowatch and noticed that it was 9:00 and the ceremony started in an hour. At that time my walked into the room. Even though she was 40 years old she still had the beauty of her youth with a pretty face and glossy black hair that went down to the middle of her back. With a proud smile on her face she asked " let's get going" and then she walked out of the house with me running to catch up with her and walking towards the town center were the ceremony would be held.
