Max Wendell and The Heart Of Whethirford

We are Ghusters?

My heart pumped fast. When the blade of the spear was an inch away from me, I closed my eyes and accepted my fate. Then I heard a cracking sound. I guessed that was my skull being pierced.

I opened my eyes slowly. I thought the blade went through my head, instead the statue's head was gone. The statue is still standing infront of me, motionless. Someone tapped my shoulder, I glanced at my side and saw someone. He wore a polo, short pant and a flip-flop. He's way taller than me. He got a long hair. I think he's in collage. And he is holding a frickin' sword.

"You okay, bro?" He asked

"Uh sort of." I replied

He ran toward the statues and screamed to get their attention. The statues glared at him, afterwards he gave them the finger. The statues grimaced. The statue that chased Jet earlier ran fast while the statue that chased Duke was hopping. Then, the college-guy ran toward Duke's statue and chopped it's head off. Jet's statue's eye widened. He hopped away hoping to escape, but obviously, running is much faster than hopping. College-guy chased the statue and chopped it into pieces. We looked at him in awe.

The college-guy exhaled. He washed his sweat off using his palm. He glanced at us. We stepped a few inches away from him. He then gave us a bright smile.

"Haven't seen someone chopping a living statues using a sword?" He said

"That's a normal thing to you?" Jet asked

"Yeah, and soon you'll get use to it!" He laughed

"I don't find it funny." Duke said

The college-guy's laugh fainted. He looked at the ground. I don't know why. Then he straightened up like he got striked by a lightning.

"Now I remembered! I forgot to introduce myself to you, bros!" He said, "Uh my name is Felix Hench! And you three?"

"Before we introduce ourselves, can you please tell us what the hell is happening?" Duke asked

"Yeah, like why's everyone... frozen? Even the birds were frozen in mid air." I said

"Like that plane? I thought I'm the only one." Jet laughed

"Grion did this." Felix smiled

"Who's that?" I asked

"I'll explain later." He winked

He sheathed his sword. In the hilt of the sword, there's a button, he pressed it then in a second, the sword transformed into a ring. He snapped his finger and everything went back to normal. Everyone moved.

"Hey, you haven't told me your names!" He said

"Uh I'm Duke Brunner."

"Jet Fielder." He winked

"And I am Max Wendell."

"Bros, can I meet your parents?" Felix asked

"For saving our lives, uh okay." Duke said

We decided to visit Jet's house first because it's the nearest.

The street lights glow through the night. The blow of the wind became colder. The chirp of the grasshoppers scattered all over the place. The road was empty. The stars are out and you can hear helicopters. I inhaled and exhaled.

"What the heck is that smell?" Jet laughed

"Hey! I brushed my teeth this morning!" I protested

"Oh! Guys, here we are." Jet smiled

We're infront of his house. We walked toward the door. Jet knocked, the door wasn't locked. We went inside and Jet closed the door. As we get closer to the hallway, we hear screams and moans. We trailed the sound and we found it in a room. You could hear the fear from the hallway outside.

"Oh no. This is not good." Felix said

"What do you mean?" Jet asked in a shaky voice

"Monsters. We must sneak in, if we surprise them, they'll probably kill their victim."

"O-Okay."

"Is there another entrance in this room? Or a window?"

"Well, they always locked the window. That'll surprise the monster." Jet said, but this time, his voice sounds like he is about to cry

"We have no choice but to break through the door, just help me."

We could still hear the groans and screams. My hands were shaking like heck. I'm not prepared of what I'm about to see. I took a deep breath and put on my brave face. I looked at Felix and saw him put off his ring and pressed it, in a second, the ring transformed into a sword. Then he unsheathed the sword, afterwards he gestured using his hands, he is counting one to three. When the counting finally is over, he burst through the door using his shoulder. When we finally broke in, our eyes widened.

My eyes were burning!

"Holy mother. Well, that was a bad idea." Felix said

"Yuck! Please can we go out?!" Jet pleaded

"Sorry Mrs. and Mr. Fielder for interrupting your... uh bussiness." Duke said while covering his eyes

We just saw Jet's parents making out. We went outside and decided to sit in the sofa and wallow in our regrets and drowning in images we can't unsee. We could hear the ceiling fan. After a few moments, Jet's parents went outside the room and head toward us. Afterwards, Felix introduce himself. He explained everything why we're here.

"You know, Mrs. and Mr. Fielder your son is a Ghuster" Felix said

"Wait. What the heck is a Ghu-" I didn't finish my sentence when Jet interrupted

"A ghuster?! I am a ghuster?! Woah!" He shrieked, "Haven't I told you earlier about ghusters, Max?!"

"Uh I can't remember."

"Whatever. Okay guys, there was someone who lived far longer than humans, longer than when time began. Who's stronger than the universe. He called himself 'The-One'. He then afterward discovered humanity, and learned to love it. He helped humanity, build and mold it into something more.

An age later, humans learned to do bad things. They abused The-One. Then, there was this king whose name is Tysarak. He was a king of a certain nation. But of all kings, he is wicked. A bad leader rules over bad followers. Fearing that Tysarak will spread his wickedness, The-One decided to punish him. He put the king in world filled with misery, where they cannot drink, eat nor die. He locked the king there, and entrusted the key to the people of Fregyndor Island. The people of Fregyndor Island proved that they are worthy, so The-One promised that some of their children, will bear power, which came true. And that children that gained powers are called Ghusters. And that's all I could say this time."

After Jet told us the whole story, we heard a snore. It was Jet's dad sleeping. Mrs. Fielder slapped his husband, and Mr. Fielder woke up. Felix glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Fielder.

"We need your son in our island, may I have your permission?"
