Destruction

Chronicle I - 15 Years Ago
'''IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW AGE. '''A scientific breakthrough had recently been discovered by the Neverseen's biology scientists, and it was a big deal. But they needed to act fast. They had been trying to create a more powerful replica of Project Moonlark, and they had recently just translated the cipher runes from Mr. Forkle's journal, which they had found in the ruins of the last town they had burned. Now the Neverseen knew the secret to mixing abilities to create something much more powerful, something no one could defeat--but they needed a test subject. So they were working fast on their first experimental subject.

"I want the experiment finished...tonight!" King Fury demanded.

"Impossible!" Head Doctor Rictor said. "If you could just give me a little more time, sire, so I can develop the--"

"We have waited too long," King Fury said. "The enemy wait outside our very castle gates, planning an attack. We need a way to fight back as soon as possible!"

"I hope you aren't under the impression that a child can protect us," Doctor Rictor said.

"I am directly under the impression that with the right training when they reach the proper age, we will have a mighty defender," King Fury said. "I am not concerned about now. But I will not always be around to defend this kingdom. We will need a mighty protector. This child is our only hope. Now get back to work!"

I could hear them talking. I know they thought I was unintelligent and undeveloped, but I am stronger than they think I am. Through my glass encasement, I can hear them arguing--it continues and continues without end. And then I hear the mad doctor press buttons and do his calculations. I feel a very sharp pain as my vision is stripped from me, and everything goes blank. All I can do is think, and then the pain eases, and a calm feeling rushes over me as the doors to my glass cage open.

This is the day that I was born. But that was a long, long time ago.
