The Hidden Chronicles (Book One): Mythological Truths

Chapter 1: A New Face Appears

"Da-da-da-ta-da, one-three-one-two, and da-da-ta-ta-da-da-ta-da..." a young male of 17 years and of German descent was going through the many drills that his band would play at competition for this year. Since he was the lead snare player he had to keep the others in order and the whole band was practicing, and the schools color guard was always on task and following through each drill with ease. Soon practice was finished and they all began to talk to one another: telling each other "Good job today!" or something like, "Good work everyone!"

The Band Director calls to them, and tells them its time for their 15 minute resting point before they get into their next set of warm-ups and practices. Alex walks over toward a deserted bench and sits down, drinking some of his pure leaf tea from his jug. He looks to his left and sees Melody, or as he called her by her nickname: Lyric, she was talking to her boyfriend Kyle T. Swordedge while they were close to each other.

He hated, rephrase that, The young German strongly despised that son of a bitch. His mother may get him whatever he wants, but there was no way he'd let that dumbass have his friend, who is like a little sister to him, in his grubby hands. Alexander M. Lionheart was the young German's name, and Maximillian was his middle name. Most called him "Ghost" since he chose that to be his nickname for band. Many thought of it as a symbol of the young German's past or even his very elusive dialogue.

He was very good at leading his younger subordinates that were learning snare with great capacity and even astonished his other teachers since he rarely speaks. He only speaks if he has to and it can go one of two ways: he could be kind and sweet. sounding like a father guiding their child back to bed after comforting them about a scary dream, or he could be angry and dangerous. letting his voice be heard and everyone cowering from his rage.

Suddenly, a young looking student walked through the double doors with some snacks that could feed a family of at least 500 or more. Alex watches him appear from those same doors, and can't believe what he's seeing before him. As he looks around he sees that others are watching the boy walk through with two, or three rolling trays for food. Kyle and Melody seemed to walk in that direction. In a blink of an eye Alex was up and slowly following behind them getting closer to this new face within the school.

The boy had long hair going down to the middle of his back while in certain parts it was spiky, but fluffy too, like fur. His eyes were soft and mysterious but showed signs of a motherly love and affection toward others.

The boy seemed to be of Japanese descent, and yet he spoke with paper writings instead of his voice. As Alex got closer he read a lable that said: " Hello, Would you like something to eat? I made some for everyone. take as much as you want there will be more at lunch time." (ㅇㅅㅇ❀).

Alex smiled and took what he wanted before he went back towards his spot he gave the new boy a smile and a nod and recieved the same from the boy. As soon as Alex turned his back to walk away he hears Melody gasp and a few others start screaming at someone in particular. Screaming things like: "You bastard! Why did you do that?!?!" and "What the actual hell, man? He was being nice and kind, and you hit him for it?!?!"

Alex couldn't believe what was going on, but what he was about to the most terrible thing he had ever seen done to someone he just met that was. He quickly put his stuff on a table nearby and ran to the scene to find out what had happened to the gentle eyed boy who brought something that Kyle's mother would never do for them.

He looks at the poor boy on the ground who seemed to be bleeding from the nose and was about to cry from the pain. Alex knew that this kid couldn't be rude or mean to anyone due to his shy and sweet nature so Kyle, aka Dumbass, shouldn't have hit the guy. What made Alex's heart ache was seeing those eyes look at him for help and support.
