Even as I'm recalling all this.
It was here in the library when all this craziness started.

I was looking over an old bookshelf in the corner that was dedicated to fantasy novels. I see my brother pick out a few books and I wait for him so we can go and eat.


"The Records of the Four Holy Weapons?"

This really old-looking book just fell off the shelf infront of me, I guess whoever had been reading it last hadn't taken the time to put it back ... ...... * looks at it* ...

"Whatever" I picked it up, and then skimmed through the first few pages.

I flip the page and I don't notice another teenager sneak up behind me.
 It was a friend I had a pretty rough falling out with. He'd confessed to a girl who had confessed to me and I had turned her down because I knew he liked her.

 I stood there immersed in the book and its illustrations.
So, the story went like this.....four heroes each possessed a weapon.

The sword, spear, bow, and shield.

The four of them went on a journey to train, gather strength, perfect themselves, and stop the prophesied destruction of the world.

I yawned ready to put the book away the only girl mentioned was the princess, and she was your average entitled manipulative bitch. She kept turning them all against eachother.

The Sword Hero was active and powerful; the Spear Hero valued and protected his friends, and the Bow Hero would never tolerate injustice. All the heroes were good people with great personalities.

"What's this? what about the Shield? there is nothing about him." 
Then I felt someone right behind me I drop the book and let out an involuntary yelp. 

I turn to look at my friend stabbing me right there, in the middle of the library.
Something warm and sticky splattered all around us. The look on his face. 

"What the heck?!"

"KyaHHHH!!!!!!"

"Murder! He's dead!"

I was thinking over how strange it all was when I started to feel dizzy.
My brother rushed over to me after security tackled my attacker, covered in blood.
He looked scared, was pale and crying.

"F-Fumi?...what happened...?" I heard my own bewildered whisper and felt my consciousness slipping away... "....it feels like I'm in a tub...everything is fading."
