1. The Letter

Lucas's PoV

OK ok spoilers here so just so ahead until the next black text for no more spoilers

It's been a year. A year since I pulled that final needle.

It felt just like yesterday and I unluckily remembered it lucidly. My brother, lying on the ground dead. Dead, but smiling. With tears in my eyes, my father urged me to pull the needle.

There was a blinding flash, and then nothing. And then the world was reborn.

It was strange. I kept the memories, I kept the powers, I kept my strengths... But everything else was back to normal.
Well, almost everything.

Ok NOW

I shuddered at the memories and went outside to check the mailbox for my father. Inside was an envelope, the words "For Lucas" in neat handwriting. It had a wax seal with a circle on it, decorated with a cross centred towards the bottom left of the circle.

I turned it over in curiosity as I made my way to the house.

"Lucas!" My dad says "What could this be?"

"A letter addressed t-to me, apparently." I say with the same amount of curiosity that my father had. His eyebrows raised slightly.

"I wonder why they wouldn't just say it to his face..." I hear my dad murmur as he shuffles away. I silently agree and head into my room to open it in private.

Inside is a letter with the same writing as the writing on the front. It reads:

"Dear Lucas of Tazmily,

You have been invited to a tournament where renowned fighters and heroes battle it out against each other. We have hoped to expand our horizon by inviting new characters to join the fray. I believe you will make many friends and we would be honoured to have you join.

All participants will temporarily live in separate rooms within a large Mansion. You will be given food, so there is no need to pack any. Be aware that you will be battling strong opponents, so do not fear backing down.

You have a week to pack, otherwise you automatically decline. On the back of this letter are the words you will need to speak to be transported here.

We will patiently await your arrival."

I put the letter down and take it all in.

"Dad! You might want to read this!"
