The Assention (on Hold)

Chapter 1 The Snake Rises

“Beep beep beep…. beep beep beep… time to rise and shine son” “no,” I groan. You’ll be late for school.” “Fine,” I said little did I know what school would hold. So I woke up got dressed and was about to leave my room when oh I need my snake statue for Chinese class, we were studying the zodiac. So I grabbed it. It was my favorite statue it was so smooth and I had this strange attachment to it. The crazy guy in china had said that it was almost two generations old. I didn’t believe him he looked high. Well I got it threw it in my back pack then ran out to the car where I slept for the next hour on my way to school.

It was at third period getting ready for Chinese next when shit started to hit the fan. First, I started getting a really bad hot flash. I had the snake on my desk so it was ready for class. I was sweating. It felt like a run of the mill fever but really bad. Grabbed my snake and it was almost fire hot. It started looking red. I must be going crazy. The snake began to move and I started getting dizzy. I passed out and fell to the ground and the last thing I saw was the teacher screaming and my frenemy spencer helping rest me up against a wall.

I woke gasping for air. I was in the hospital. I rolled over and pain erupted through my body. What I saw was scarier the date on the clock was the march 15, 2013. Three days from when I passed out. Sitting on the table was my little statue. Once I had built up the resolve I slumped my hand over and grabbed it. This time the pain was less but it still hurt. The snake didn’t seem to have a temperature. In science they taught us this is because body temperature and surface temperature were equal. This only lasts for seconds. This thing was obviously not changing it had been about a minute and no change. This was way too freaky. There was a nurse call button on the table too. I hit that button the pain was lesser now.  Two minutes later a nurse came in and said, “Don’t move your muscles will hurt a lot. You have been unconscious for three days.  You muscles have contracted… how did you hit the button?”

“Well you see I rolled over and hit it. I have been awake for about ten minutes.” I croaked

“Oh well” she said, “I take it your thirsty and hungry. I’ll go get food and get the doctor to look you over.”

Finally I thought another human. I lay down and waited for her to come back. Right before I got comfortable it hit me where was my family? There were no flowers no nothing like I had been abandoned…

The nurse came in ten minutes later and handed me a plate of Cuban food and some water.

“Where is my family?” I asked

“Oh they aren’t coming sweaty” she said “why the hell not.” Oh they said to tell you to check your grades I guess” she said solemnly looking at her feet. “Got a computer” I said she brought it in I open the school website that had our grade and on the math test I had taken first period was already posted oh duh three day had past I had gotten and 81. Shit!!! They are so pissed off no duh they don’t come. The nurse was just about to leave when I said, “hey. Can you not call them just keep quiet about this waking up thing kkJ?” “Sure but you know after they find out your going into child services. When we checked you out us found induced trauma on your body like beatings. We know what they did to you. “

After she left I grabbed the statue and started rolling it around in my hand then pointed the face at me and said aloud “what so special about you you keep finding me?” The snake started to move again as if in response but unlike the last time it came off the pedestal and wrapped around my hand.  Then it solidified as a snake around my hand and left where he hand been can and sitting on the pedestal sat a ring. There was solid gold and the gold bent into a snake head that held a beautiful color changing stone. “Uh well this is weird” I said out loud. IN my head a snake like voice rasped, “Putt itt onnnnn” the words seem to compel me. I slipped the ring onto my ring finger and all at once power shot up my arm that a tingle but stronger it went straight to my head. All my strength came back felt like I could do anything. My eye sight became blurry but that was because of my contacts. I took my contacts out threw them on the floor and looked in the mirror. The weirdest thing had happened my eyes were snake eyes. I ran to the door. I ran as fast as the fastest snake in the world. The voice in my head returned “Child you are the serpent bearer almighty and controller of snakes and serpents alike. I will teach you the way of the serpent now” The voice had become way less snake-like. The ring had helped him too. I was not the snake god leader of the serpentine beasts.

Thousands of miles away Caltop eyes shot open from his two hundred year hibernation, power reentered his body as he stood and looked down the care taker of his resting place bowed and with a deep bull-like voice the minotaur and god of bulls stood in all his greatness battle axes one in both hands look straight forward and  said, “ Caretaker the first of the animals rises this is beginning of the end of Black Forests hold over our true home and with that he walked out of the cave and looked up. He lowered his gaze and split the realm of earth away an enveloped in his own illusion he say the ruins of the celestial plane. Then he took off running across earth and sea space at lightning speed as fast as the fastest bull and made his way slowly towards the home on earth where his brothers had thrown there statues to preserve the power of the plane. He went on to the new world to begin collecting the zodial gods…
