A Glimmer of hope.

Rare awakening

It was a summer morning, the first rays of sunlight appearing in the distance around a town called "Taxco", in that certain beautiful town, you could smell the fresh flowers in the air, or just the delicious smell of recent made "pan de muerto", not that it was the day of the dead, at a specific address at a specific household, in a specific room was lying a sleeping 15 year old boy, althoug this beautiful morning may seem peaceful, this boy wasn't having the best of dreams, he tossed and turned while murmuring some words in spanish.

The sound of his alarm clock going off made the boy groan in response, with some struggle he got out of bed and shut off his alarm.

???: "Rayos cinco minutos mas hubiera sido apreciable, sabes?" The hispanic boy told himself as he yawned and stretched, and got out of his room to use the bathroom and get ready for the day.

????: "Emilio did you say something bro?" His older sister asked him from downstairs.

Emilio: "No, I didn't" Emilio said as he then proceeded to make his way down the hallway and enter the bathroom, get undressed and hop into the shower.

MEANWHILE IN THE WOODS

Deep into the forest, where birds were chirping joyfully and flowers were blooming rapidly, in the bark of a tree, there lied a katana. It had an edge that glowed bright green light along with the handle being black and white, it looked like it had a battery that glowed green light attached to the sword, beside the sword's side there was what looked like like a device that was used to throw something, the device was like a piece of armor that was only designed for the hand part, it had three delicate green lines going from between the fingers to the end, and apart from that there was a wakizashi, a smaller version of the katana but with the same handle and same edge.

The katana was starting to glow brighter as it scared some birds away because of what was happening, after the light died down a small snake like dragon appeared, it had two small horns at the edge of her head along with some hair in the side of her head, the dragon then proceeded to enter inside the sword, which started to glow once more.

BACK IN THE HOUSE OF THE 15 YEAR OLD BOY

Emilio got out of the shower with a towel around his waist and made his way towards his room, he closed the door behind him and changed to his normal clothing, a white regular T-shirt, a black jacket with a dragon symbol in the back and regular pants, he got his shoes and proceeded to put them on, the shoes were green colored with black detail around the edges, he tied his laces and made his way out of his room and downstairs, where his older sister, Andrea, was getting ready for work.

Andrea: Morning Charlie, How'd you sleep last night?

Emilio: Meh, could have slept better if you didn't stay up 'till midnight watching Dead Meat all time long...

Andrea: Aw come on, You love watching him too!

Emilio: I do, but I was really tired yesterday, you know how school is always so rough.

Andrea: I know it's hard for you to move on, especially after what happened to Mamá-

Emilio: I told you. I don't want to remember any of that stuff. I'm fine, got it?

Andrea put her hand on his shoulder and looked at him in the eyes with a soft glance. Emilio didn't even face her.

Andrea: Charlie, you have to let it go, it's hard for me too, but I don't want to see that you are suffering because of one accident...

Emilio moved his shoulder away and walked towards the kitchen.

Emilio: You should really get going. Otherwise you'll be late.

Andrea looked at him with pain in her eyes and then sighed heavily, she grabbed her bag and walked towards the door.

Andrea: I'll be back at 8, you're free to leave the house as long as you come back before dark.

Emilio nodded and turned towards her, he wrapped his arms around her, embracing her, she soon returned the gesture.

Emilio: Cuidate. Te quiero mucho.

Andrea: Yo tambien Charlie.

Andrea let go of his brother and headed towards the door, once she was out she took out the car keys out of her pocket and hoped onto her car, she soon left the driveway.

Emilio watched his sister leave and went back inside, he headed towards the kitchen once more, in there he looked around, wondering what he should have for breakfast.

Emilio began eating his breakfast which was just a bowl of cereal, he felt like someone was calling for him '......Emilio.....' he heard his name, but at the moment to turn around he saw that nobody was calling for him.

Emilio: (In his mind) "'I must have misheard'' He shrugged it off thinking it was just his imagination, unknown to him that the katana in the woods was glowing brighter.
