Monster of a Quest

Chapter 3 Dabria

We come up to this village with very nice wood and brick homes; they are so cute. We start to slow down in what looks like the center of town. We stop and I hear the car doors open and close. The people that I am guessing kidnap come and take us out of the trunk of the truck. They walk us to an enormous building in the center of the town that looks like a city from here on. They took us into this gigantic room. An old man was standing at the edge of the room, that was wearing a huge gold crown and a long red cape that looked like it was made of silk, with a fuzzy white brim. He headed to the center of the room. Three kids that looked around Sam and my age, maybe 14 or 15, followed him. The man smiles at them and gestures to the people that kidnapped to untie us. They do exactly what he says.

"Who in the world are you and where are we?" Sam blurts out angrily, he sounds like he wants to say more but I stop him and I say "well Sam he seems to be some sort of king and that is no way to talk to a king". He looked at me with shock and said, "we have just been kidnapped and that is what you are thinking". I look at him plainly and say "yes" shrugging. He looked like he was going to say something else, but the king cut him off. "Very good Dabria, I am the king. You are as sharp as they say you are and you can stay calm, pretty well in the right circumstances, unlike others," he says, looking at Sam fiercely. I smiled, then looked at Sam. He looked pretty angry, and he looked like he was going to say something rude to the king again. But yet again the king cuts him off and said "who is he anyway" looking at the people that brought us. Before they could answer, Sam interrupted them and said, "I am Sam Finnick, and I would like to know where we are and why do you know Dabria's name".

Everyone stares at him star struck, one of the three kids stopped staring and said "you are a Finnick?". Sam looks as confused as I am, but he says "Yeah, why do you know my parents, or any of my other family members". They all looked amazed and the same girl said "yeah, your parents are famous here". I could see the excitement jump into his eyes and he said, "where are they? I can meet them". All of a sudden everyone looks a little sad. "No, I am sorry you can not meet them, they died in a war probably not too long after you were born" says the king sadly. I see sadness harden back over his eyes. After that happened the little fire in him reignited, and he looked furious again. I walk over to him and looked him in the eyes and whispered to him "are you okay, don't worry I can take care of this", he stared at me blankly and he nodded his head in approval, so I got started with questioning them.

I look at the king again, and say, "so why do you know my name, and where are we," I said calmly, I even surprised myself how calm I was. They all look at me and the king says "Well I know your name because we have been watching you for years, and we think you are the Chosen one," I look at him plainly and say "Well that is a little creepy, but continue,". "We think you might be the chosen one to lead our team," says the king. "What kind of team," I asked, confused, but I did not show it. "A team of kids that in your world would be called superheroes," says the king, disgusted. "But how could I lead a team of people that have powers if I have no powers," I asked now I am interesed, so much so I almost let it show. "You have powers, and Sam here should too, because of his parents coming from here. We just need to find them," the king says with a huge grin on his face. "Cody, take Dabria to Fire class first, and Leo and Charlotte take Sam to Water," says the king. "Yes, sir." they all say together.
