I'm just an ordinary farm boy. I'm 17 years old. My name Brad Kallahan. I have a younger brother and his name is Lucas Kallahan and he is 11. Me and my brother help my father on the farm we own. My fathers name is Gabriel Kallahan and he is 42. My mother stays in the house and cleans it and cooks us our meal and she works on the yard. My mothers name is Evelyn Kallahan and . I not only work on the farm with my dad I hunt in the woods that the are at the back of our land. Those woods are suppose to be very dangerous and very few men will enter those woods.

I have my own bow and arrows I got the arrows when I was 12 and the bow when I was 13. Most of the time I make my own arrows. When I have nothing to do for a little while I will make extra arrows and go in town and sell them to the black smith. The black smith owns his own armor shop and weapons shop. What ever money I earn from them I give have to my family and the rest of the money I save up. Its been really hard in the kingdom since the old king was thrown off the throne and killed. The knew king has a magical weapon he used to defeat the old king. I really don't have very many friends and many girls really don't talk to me.

One day I was hunting in the woods it had been a while before I had seen any thing. I had heard something come from the left of me so I looked and it was a really big buck the finest I had ever seen. I strung an arrow in my bow. There was no wind. Perfect shot he showed no sign that he could tell that I was there. I took the shot the arrow went flying toward the none moving buck then there was a flush of lighting and the arrow shot off of something back at me I just moved in time for the arrow to whiz past. The arrow got lodged in the tree behind me a couple of feet away. The arrow was sticking through the other side of the tree.

I looked back were the buck was standing was gone there was nothing but a hammer there. I picked up the hammer it was surprisingly light to what I though it would be. I put the hammer in my back pack that I carry while hunting. I went home empty handed. I told my dad that I didn't find any thing but I didn't tell him about the lightning and the arrow. I ate supper and washed up and went to bed. My bed room is a single bed with a table and a chair in the corner in the room. There's two windows in my bed room and a fireplace. That entire night I had nightmares about the buck and the arrow. I dreamt about coming home and my father kicking me out for coming home empty handed. I woke with a start I was sweating. I heard a electrical noise. It went on like that for about ten minutes I got up to see what the noise was coming from. I couldn't find were the noise was coming from any where.

I seen that I had left my back pack on the table I opened it and there was a bright flash of light. I dumped the contents of the back on the table. There was my hunting knife ( I carry one on my side and in my bag just in case ) my matches some food and a jacket and the hammer I found. The light seemed to be coming from the hammer. I picked it up aware I felt tingling in my entire body. It took me out side in a flash. There seemed to be a Storm coming. There was a bunch of lightning. The hammer seemed to be humming. There was a flash of lightning and it hit the hammer but it didn't hurt me it seemed to make the hammer seem powerful.
