Rebellious memories and many losses

Part 1

chapter 1

I was awakened with the sound of kids screaming and a blazing pain in my back. I slowly blink to try to focus on where I am, but the only thing that I can properly recognize is a marking on a tree stump. I'm slowly trying to get up when all of a sudden I'm picked up off the ground and then everything starts fading into a dark abbess. she's badly hurt, and you expect me to just leave her in the middle of nowhere I hear an older man, with a dark raspy voice, question, no, but I don't expect you to bring a stranger into our home a teen aged boy, with a dark and mysterious voice, answered. ugh... good luck son, the older man whispered. I slowly open my eyes, and all I can see is bright lights in my face. I go to move them out of the way but I freeze when I hear the dark mysterious voice say I wouldn't do that if I where you. I turn my head with a quick and slick reflex and say who do you think you are, to tell me what to do. I notice the slight annoyance in his stone carved face, but its gone in a blink of an eye. I move the lights any way and try to stand on my feet, when my knees buckle and I'm plummeting strait to the concrete floor... but I don't end up hitting the floor I'm suddenly in his arms. he sits me back down on what I assume was a couch, at one point, his hands are now gripping my shoulders. take your hands of my shoulders... now I say with, what I was hoping was, a stern voice. I noticed his brows starting to knit together and his leaf green eyes darkening in to decaying algae who sent you? why are you here? he yells at me, I don't know... I say in a soft spoken voice. He slams his fist on to the ground, then I stand up as quick as I can and notice a door. I stride for it not bothering to look back. when I'm through I feel him grip my wrist, I grab his arm and flip him in front of me and his griped loosen just enough for me to get loos and run. as I'm running I feel something in my back but when my hand reaches for the pain I don't feel my silky skin I feel... feathers. I scream so high pitched that birds skater out of trees. I'm up in the air now slashing my arms around, like when a kid has a fit because they cant have something they want. I slash around in the air looking for something to grip, but then I realize... there is nothing to grip on in the air. I look around trying to figure out my surroundings as I slash around in the air. you need to calm your nerves down!! the dark mysterious voice instructs with a commanding tone. well its worth a shot to try...right? I take slow deep breaths in through my nose out through my mouth. slowly my nerves started to calm and I started to gain control. my wings started to slow their pace and soon enough my feet hit the ground. I could feel the tingles on my neck as if some one was watching me. where am I? I ask with clenched teeth trying to stay calm. I don't know if I can give that kind of information to someone I don't trust the dark mysterious voice stated. unmotivated I turned around, my eyes locked with the most beautiful forest like colored eyes it was like I could get lost in them the longer I looked. I was knocked out of my train of thought when the older man yelled... TALON!!! before I new what was happening talon garbed my hand and trapped me behind a tree and sternly cupped his hand around my mouth. I gave him my best death glare to show him I'm not some one to mess with. the second he took his eyes off me I wrapped one leg around his and punched his stomach, causing him to stumble backwards and giving me the chance to take action. I grabbed a hold of his wrist twisting him so his back is towards me, well I still have a strong grip on his wrist, and shoved him agents the tree. I leaned close to his ear and whispered I'm not someone to mess with, so you better explain who you are and where I am before I snap your wrist like a twig in the most aggressive tone I could manage. he looked at me with this shocked but with a hint of admiration expression, fin ill tell you what you want to know but we cant discuss it here, I roll my eyes, fin lead the way I say as I take off my hold on him and motion for him to lead. we walk for what I assume has been an hour, are you going to give me the information I want or just continue walking with no destination planed? I wined in boredom. we're here Talon announced, and that's when I actually took in our surroundings. it looked so dark and gloomy so many, what I think are, buildings are now just burnt rubble and ashes. it was almost like I've been here before, almost as if I could picture it in a more lively way. what happened? I try to say but it only came out as a whisper, what happened here was the day the best warrior of our kind left us when we needed them the most. it was the day our kind started to be one of the most hunted species. our kind can live for many centuries and barely look a day over 30. the humans back then thought we had something that could help them be more like us. they decided sense we wont share our secrets then we shouldn't live. we fought for our lives but when we need the greatest warrior to help make peace they never showed and that's when our kind fell and went into hiding, he told this story like it just happened yesterday... wait did he say our kind??? did you just say our kind?!?!?! what in the world are you talking about? I don't know what your kind is!! what do you even mean your kind????, what Im saying is that your a skylander... you may not believe me but your the first one I've seen in many years. I can prove that your like me if you want?, yeah prove that I'm like you... if that's actually true, I whisper the last part so i can only hear. a few minutes later he turned around to face me instead of the disaster around us. he looked like he was contemplating between some things but then he had wing they where a very beautiful grey almost like a silver but a bit more smokie. I just stood there with my mouth gaped open like in defeat. I slowly fell to my knees gripping my head. in slow motion pictures started to fill my head. I hear soft voice calling to me telling me to get up. But I don't have the strength to not anymore not that I now realize I let my people down, I let my kingdom down.
