The Search For Power

In all my life I never desired to be extraordinary. I was content with my normal life. I lived ordinarily and got to experience the extraordinary in the form of books. Reading about men with the strive to make themselves amazing. Men with a strive for power. I never understood why they wanted power... not until... it was too late.

chapter 1- a souls journey

A new pure soul was pushed out of the river of forgetfulness. it joined the many other souls creating a pool of souls. it seemed that souls were on there own from this point. there were many different streams that the souls could move along. the young soul like many others did not know where to go. most souls would just drive around until they were caught in the current of one of the streams.

Our little soul looked around the pool. something in it told the soul that not all the streams were the same. It felt that it must choose the strongest one. Thus our little soul did something that was quite against the nature of the soul. It stopped... and watched. now that might not seem like much but most souls do not have enough intelligence to make decisions. therefore our little soul was shockingly intelligent for a new soul.

Then our little soul watched... and watched... and watched. truthfully souls do not have a strong sense of time. finally, the little soul saw something. when two souls touched one would give way for the other. But what decides who gives way? then the soul focused more than it ever had in its life... and watched. after an undisclosed amount of time, the soul saw it. all souls had a faint inner light, and when two souls touched the one with the stronger light got precedence.

then the soul with its new discovery looked at the different paths it could take. some paths had little light while others had so much they seemed to be made of it. one of the paths that had almost no light. for some strange reason, the soul felt a connection to that path. it felt like that was the path it was supposed to go down. Yet once again the soul did something it shouldn't be able to. it turned its back and went down a different path. this one seemed to have the most light of all the paths. it moved along, and as it moved it realized that it had to give way to nearly all other souls. they all seemed to have more light then it did. for some reason, the soul was upset by this. it was angry, yet once again souls should not be able to do this. the soul could do nothing but shelve its anger. finally, the soul reached the path it wanted to take. it gave itself into its current.

As the soul went through the path it slowly picked up speed. images started to pass by. one was a mighty green dragon, another was a wizened old man. many others also passed by. there seemed to be no pattern to what showed up. there were mighty beast, old men, beautiful women, and also one little girl. they all seemed to have no pattern yet they all seemed to be full of power. strangely the little girl seemed to be the strongest. the soul also felt that the girl gave him a weird look. not an aggressive look per se, nor a violent one. More so one that just made the soul feel like its purity was threatened. the soul made a voe that it would avoid that girl at all costs.

finally, the soul was pushed off the path and approached a very large planet. for a moment the soul hung over the planet. there were many large oceans and seas, mountains that seemed to pierce the sky, and plains that seem to stretch for miles. although there were beautiful sites there were also horrify and disturbing places. there was a graveyard that stretched for ages, a sea that turned pitch black, and a deep abyss that went down further then the soul could see.

the soul suddenly started to crash towards the planet. it went past all the amazing and horrifying sites towards a normal looking town next to a large forest. in a medium-sized two-story house there were the pained screams of a woman in labor. In the backroom, there was a young nurse taking care of a flushed sweaty woman who seems to have just finished the most excruciating experience of her life. her jet black hair was stuck to her body and her ice-blue eyes were pained but excited as she looked at the small baby in an old lady's arms.

"He's beautiful," she said with pride in her voice.

he wasn't. no newborns are beautiful, but in a mother's eyes he was the most beautiful thing ever. the old lady smiled and handed the child to the new mother. the mother's smile was radiant as she looked at the crying child in her arms. the door opened and a huge mountain of a man with long blonde hair and green eyes. He gently approached the woman.

"can I see Him?" he asked with his eyes locked on the child.

"Hmm," the woman made a low sound of agreement and handed the child to her man.

As the man held the small child in his huge hand, he broke out into the most radiant smile.

"I have a son... I HAVE A SON... WHOOO!! I'M A DADDDDDDD!!!" the giant screamed with joy. causing the child to cry from being startled. "ohh! I'm a dad!" he said in an exaggerated whisper.

The mother chuckled at her ridiculous husband. "good for you sweety"

the husband was to lost in his joy to worry about his wife's teasing. "welcome to the world my boy, from this day forward you will be Ryan Draco."

hey, hope you enjoy it! leave me advice if you have it, or just say something nice. Both will make me happy
