Part one : Birth of a Storm

You know the sayings "Money rules the world" or "Money and Power control the world" . Well in my opinion they're dead wrong, Choices control the world everything that happens in this world is because of a choice be it right or wrong. A choice was made, the next step is how do you live with that choice?.....the year is 3046 and my name is Darius Thunderstorm, magic was made a reality through science and a bit of genetic re-engineering people, gained the ability to do amazing things .The scientist that discovered this was a mystery and was only know as Dr.Muertos, all the public knew was the scientists name and nothing else. These newly discovered abilities had a cost and a limit, for example to teleport something or someone you must know the exact height, weight, and shape of the object in question. Even after this amazing discovery, one thing remains a constant, myths are just that...myths. At least that's what I thought, have you ever wondered if the tales of gods and goddesses you saw on TV or read about in books were actually real...? No, well me either, at least I didn't, until mother told me the most unbelievable thing. That I, a 16 year old Afro-Asian American kid from LA, am the human reincarnation of Raijin Japanese god of Thunder and that apparently after my 21st birthday, I will reach full maturity and thus immortality but that was a long way away. Right now im still mortal-ish and struggling with not frying the school bully every time he gives me trouble or causing a power outage of the whole street when my crush walks by me. I mean it's difficult enough not getting hit by a magic fireball. I mean my magical skills have always been excellent thanks to my mother who's an ex-military combat mage , but she said I'd have to hide it for the well-being of others. Not long after I "awakened" my mom gave me a gold statue of a wolf. When I asked what it was for, she replied by telling me that the statue had been carried and guarded by our family for generations until Raijin had been reborn, and that only he would know what to do with it. The more I examined the sculpture I noticed some writing on the tail.

When I asked about it, my mother looked as though she knew nothing about it. She even said she'd never seen that language and that she cano read and write in all 7,106 fluently and an extra 30 at a subpar level. Then the strangest thing happened the words changed or it was more like i just knew and then i spoke the text aloud "Awaken o' ally of mine for if I am thunder then thy is lightning and together we shall shake the heavens!!'' After the chant was finished the room almost immediately lost power as we saw what looked like all the electrical energy from every electronic item flowed into the wolf statue. Once it had finished absorbing energy it began to glow slowly peeling away the golden shell as it grew to the size of a large wolf made of pure electrical energy. "Good to finally see u again old friend, i am Raiju '' the wolf spoke in a gentle yet familiar voice. Confused I asked the creature how did she know me, and with a simple giggle she replied "Well firstly I've known you for many centuries, secondly I was your closest if not only friend and companion in your previous life." Before I could ask any more questions, I realized I was going to be late for school. As I was headed out Raiju asked "And where are you going?"

Then after I explained school she declared in one voice "I will be accompanying you to this place u call school" after she said that I laughed "You realize you're a wolf" reminding her that she was a wolf. But in the end she had the last laugh as she giggled and once more electricity gathered around her then dispersed the reveal a beautiful young silver haired girl with eyes like living lighting "You were saying?" she smugly said with a smile. Now I was a bit freaked out because not only did my mom agree to Raiju's idea. She gave her whole mortal identity Jessica Lightdancer, but now wasn't the time to be worried because one of my friends just informed me that the resident jerk Eric Dracvic is going to challenge me to a magic duel. He's only doing it because it gives him a reason to beat on students and he knows I'm not too good with magic. And as I was daydreaming about how terrible today's gonna be it got worse..i ran into someone and there he is all 6 foot 5 inches of him with just 175 pounds of muscle. "Well,well,well if it isn't little Darius Gitterstorm....", but before he could continue his idiotic rant I interrupted him and corrected my name "My name Thunderstorm." "Heh, whatever it's not like its a name worth remembering you a piece of...'' Just then like a flash of lighting, Jessica appeared behind Eric. Before she could strike i called out "Jessica what are u doing, I was looking everywhere for you" as grabbed her arms noticing her fingernails had extended into electrified claws ''put them away" i discreetly told her. ".....Fine, I'll spare the buffoon" but then like trying to put out a fire with gasoline.
