Things Happen in Time -Part 1
This is my very first story so please leave comments. I would like all the helpful criticism from anyone. This may be a running series if I can think of what to write and if I have the time. Enjoy! ^^
"Come on Zexma, wake up already!" It was an early morning and I knew that I should have been up already. My name is Zexma. I am about 6 and a half feet tall with black hair and a silver tint. My eyes are a light blue color and my skin is a harsh tan. "I'm coming Felix." Felix is my apprentice in my shop as well as my son. I took him in two years ago while he was very young. He was apparently abandoned by his parents and left in an alley.
I work the town forge. Well, it isn't much of a town rather a small village. I have lived in the town for almost three years and many people know me, but they do not know the secret life I hide from them. "Well, lets open up shop then." It is a little shack that is part of the center of the village. We craft most of the weapons for the town. Felix starts to warm up the furnace as I light the lamps that we need. "Alright Felix, we will get started on your sword today, like i promised." "Yes!" shouted Felix out of excitement. "Nowthis will be the first time that you will craft a sword without my help." Over the years I have helped him craft many swords. He has learned very fast and I am proud of him. "Now, get a piece of metal you want to use ready." "Oh! that reminds me! I'll be right back!" I am startled by this and am somewhat confused at the same time. A few minutes later while he is gone and i have chatted with the nearby villagers, Felix comes back with an odd piece of silver metal. It is a piece of metal I have never seen before and i am shocked by this since I know of every metal- except for this one. "Where did you find this?" I ask as I examine it closely. "I found it outside the village while digging around with my friends." I am still shocked that I do not know what metal it is. "Well, I guess get the forge ready." I watch as Felix does everything I taught him to get ready to forge a weapon. The metal is being heated so it can be made into a sword. "Okay. I'm ready." says Felix as he carefully takes the metal and sets it on the anvil. He picks up his hammer and gets ready to strike. As soon as the hammer hits the metal, it seems like the metal exploded and sent me and Felix flying backwards. We are both knocked to the ground unconscious.
I wake up in a room with little light coming through a window. I get up and expect my head to hurt, but surprisingly feels fine. "Where am I?" "Your in the land of Tirreva." says a feminine voice behind me. I turn around quickly and get my fists ready. "Who are you and what is Tirreva?" "My name is not what is important, but it is important that you know why you are what you are." "What are you talking about?" "Oh you know exactly what I am talking about Zexma. I am talking about what you hide from everyone in the village." My eyes widen and I feel a surge of anger and shock run through me. "How do you know about that?!" "Oh Zexma. There are many things I know about you and many things I know that are yet to come. Right now, all you need to know is that soon you and your son will be coming here to do what your are destined to do." "Wait, what? What am I destined to do and how do you know about my son and I?!" Many questions arose in my mind that even I knew would go unanswered for awhile. Seconds later my vision starts to blur and I fall into a deep sleep that I will not be awakened from for a long while.
