What are we fighting for?

Chapter 1: The life of Rex.

Rex grew up alone; he has no parents, no brothers or sisters and no friends. He only knew his name, he didn't know anything else about himself, no memory of his past, no one did. But the one thing they do know about Rex is that he is a "freak". living in the deep, harsh forests of Alaska where no one goes, he lives there by himself, no one in sight for a couple of miles, only a small town. He's only 15 and in high school but he doesn't know how much more he can take with constantly looking over his shoulder, getting into fights, teachers not treating him the same and all the name calling but what is the real reason why people call him a "freak" and hate him? Is it because he has a mysterious scar across his right eye? The way his eyes change colour? The ancient language he partly understands? He just doesn't know why, no one does.

One day after school, Rex saw a young elf girl being picked on by a group of boys, calling her names and trying to grab her bag, Rex knew he had to do something as it isn't right to pick on someone who isn't human-like or different in any way, shape or form. He started to walk towards them and shouted "OI! leave her alone, she's done nothing wrong" the lads started to laugh and started say stuff like " aww look at little Rexy trying to be a big man", "aww do you love her, knew you was a real freak". Rex wasn't going to take none of it, his voice started to get more angry and warned them to back off one last time but the lads continued to laugh hysterically and pushed the girl on the floor, out of nowhere Rex charged at them, unleashing his anger on them.

The sounds of shouting and commotion happening, the sound of pain and frustration sounded the air. The 4 boys was no match for Rex as one by one they all hit the floor or to the lamp post either way they either had a broken and bloody nose, a twisted arm or bad bruising and a minor concussion. All Rex had was a cut lip and some minor scraps on his hands but he's used to that by now after everything that's gone on.

Groaning and whining in pain, the boys rolled around in the floor in pain. one of them which looked like the boss out of the group leapt up and jumped onto Rexs back, making them tumble back into the wall, he got a few hits on Rex before Rex strikes his knee right into the ribs, winding him before Rex got on top of him a repeatedly punched him. He got off the boy and told them to run and never hurt anyone again. The boys fled with horror, pain and confusion as they have never seen someone with such fast reaction speed. Rex stood there looking down at his hands, his knuckles were covered in blood, he has never acted or done such things before, he finally came over his senses and helped the girl up, she thanked him with a hug and gave him a small blue crystal that had a humming sound, this was common for elves to give crystals as a token of appreciation.

The sun is hot, the air is fresh and a slight breeze, just the right time to meditate in the forest as he needed to calm down after what happened today, he's still confused by how or what caused him to lose control. Later on he found a nice spot under a tree, by a ledge overlooking the nearby town. He could feel his strength getting stronger during the fight even though he does his own training he doesn't think that was the cause to it. While meditating he also could feel his senses and awareness increasing, that's how he knew how to counter the boys. For Rex it was like everything was in slow motion so he had time to plan and act, his hearing is sharp and clean, he can pinpoint where something is coming from and he can identify what the sound is and roughly what it is made of and how far it is. He can smell from a good distance and can determine what the smell is. He meditates in the same spot for a good 2-3 hours each day no matter the weather as it is peaceful and he knows he won't get disturbed and he does this to help control his power within.

It was getting late and he had to head back as it was dusk and lightly started to snow. While making his way back he suddenly froze, he could hear ghostly voices talking and calling his name but he could not see anyone or thing in sight. Frantically looking around he was getting anxious and paranoid; he was thinking to himself that he was getting punished by something not of this realm for his actions or what he is. The voices got louder but one voice stood out, he heard it say "Rex you have so much potential that you don't know yet, head to the hidden castle in mountains to the west, there you will uncover your true power" the voices disappeared and all was quiet again, when Rex looked down at his hands, to find his hands was on fire, he panicked and tried to put it out in the snow, it wouldn't work but the strange thing was that he didn't feel pain and that his skin wasn't burning away, starting to panic he frantically waved his hand around trying to get rid of it but out of nowhere a bright fire ball shot from his hand and exploded into a few trees causing them to combust into flames.
