As long as it's really constructive criticism! :D don't be that person! Thanks! And now without further delay, let the story begin!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The prison cell filled with smoke as a hole the size of a car was punched through the thick walls of the cell. As the smoke cleared, it gave way to reveal two men in the room.
One man was sitting in the middle of the room, with thick chains of what appeared to be white matter binding his arms and legs. Although his face was gaunt and dirty and the shadows under his haunting grey eyes gave him the appearance of one who was on their deathbed, the man seemed to have an odd type of energy emanating from him.
The other was a teenage boy, wearing a mask and was dressed in a thick black cloak. The moment he saw the chained man in the middle of the room, he couldn't help but stop and survey the man before sighing in dismay. It's a bit disappointing, he mused, He always looked so interesting in the pictures. This is the correct cell right?!
However, before he could get too carried away with his own thoughts, the man chained in the middle of the room raised his eyebrows expectantly and cleared his throat, his deep and gravelly voice filling the room entirely. "Well, are you going to just stand there all night watching me or are you going to get me out of here and take me back to our own, boy?"
As if smacked upside the head with his mother's shoe, the masked boy flinched. "Of course sir, my apologies." The boy cautiously approached the man in the middle of the room, still doubting that the man in front of him was the man he was supposed to retrieve from the prison. "You are Finian Drayce, correct?"
The man's laugh sent shivers down the boy's spine. "It's been a while since anybody's used my real name around here. Now stop your dwaddling. Don't you hear those alarms? I reckon you have about five minutes before the guards arrive."
Although still unsure, the boy pulled out a saw made up of a type of grey substance and began cutting off the chains binding the man. Just as the final chain binding Finian Drayce had been cut off, the door to the cell was kicked down and guards began to fill in. As soon as the guards entered the room, they began shooting rays of light, each ray different hues of black, white, and grey.
Panicking, the boy hastily created a wall darker than the night and flung it at the incoming guards. Although his wall did disperse the group and drive some guards back for a moment, it was flung aside in almost an instant.
The boy then felt a stinging sensation in his shoulder and it was only then that he did realize that he had been shot . Shouting in pain, he yet again created a barrier between the guards and the two of them, only to have it fade quickly as he lost his concentration.
Finian Drayce clicked his tongue and laughed. "They really didn't do a good job preparing you for combat did they?". Although he was disappointed by the weakness of the boy, Finian understood that the others could not afford to send someone higher up in the ranks if they could avoid it in case that the retrieval mission failed.
With that he pushed the boy behind him and with a single wave of his arm, the oncoming group of guards were lifted into the air as if they weighed nothing and were thrown against the wall. Shouts of confusion were immediately replaced with shouts of fear as the guards realized that Finian Drayce was now free of his restraints. With another wave of his hand, the ceiling blasted apart to reveal the night sky overhead. At the sight of this, Finian smirked to himself. Finally!!
Grabbing the wounded boy, Finian Drayce blew a goodbye kiss at the security camera in the corner and flew out into the night sky before teleporting in a flash of soft blue light.
