Behind The Mask: The Beginning (A Steve Saga fanfic) book one

Chapter 1

(No ones POV)

The sun was shining down on a Blue Stalex next to a cliff on a mountain. At the bottom of that cliff was a sea. Big large strong waves crashing on the cliffside. On the non-cliff side of the village was a spruce forest where the young Stalexs of the village like to play.

The village itself is rather big, but not too big to be called a town. And it's active. Both Steve's and Alexs particulate in helping out.

Some of them are them are teaching the younger Stalexs how to use their powers and other useful skills. Some are organizing hunting parties or gathering fruits and vegetables. Some are gathering resources to build or fix the damages of troublemakers in the village. Some of the teenaged Stalexs even learn how to use a sword in case of something we're to happen to their powers.

Although this is a Blue Stalex Village, someone is different from everybody else. Sabre, Sabre is a human that was found by a exploring Blue Alex when he was seven. All he remembers is small flashes that he couldn't make out. That was seven years ago and Sabre is now fourteen.

(Sabre POV)

"Come out wherever you are Sabre!" My friend Pool, a Blue Steve yelled. My heart was beating wildly as I was hiding on one of the bottom tree branches on a spruce tree, which Pool was right under. It wasn't very comfortable on the tree and the needles (leaves) on the tree did not help. I wish that I had picked a better hiding spot but I can't pick a new spot right now. I was afraid he would be able to hear my heartbeat and hoped that the Blue Steve would decide to go to search somewhere else but it doesn't seem like luck is in my favor today. I mean it.

Suddenly the branch that I was on cracked. Oh NoNo!  Please not today! NoNoNo!  I screamed inside my head. The branch cracked again.

Pool was looking around, obvious that it was above him. Suddenly he looked up realizing where the sound was coming from. Too late. CRACK. The branch broke,  falling, me with it. "AAAHHHHHH!-" I screamed, falling on top of him as we both made a 'oof' sound. As quickly as I could I got off Pool. "You okay bro?" I asked, completely forgetting we are playing hide and seek. "Yeah, l'm fine. But-." He paused mid sentence as he put his hand towards me, using his power to spray water in my face. Not enough to hurt me, but enough to drench me in water. "-found you!" He got up on his feet and ran towards the village. "H-hey! That not fair!" I playfully yell, running after the Steve. "Life's not fair buddy!"

(??? POV)

I sat by the tree near my house as I amusingly watched as saber grabs a bucket of water and splashes it on his friend. I remember when I used to act like that. I quietly chuckled to myself. "Uhm... Elder Waterfall?  To my right said the voice of an Alex.

Looking back to see a Blue Alex that looks to be in her twenties. She had Icy blue hair in a ponytail, her eyes a teeny bit darker. Really pale skin and was wearing a sky blue tight long sleeve shirt. Blue pants and shoes.

I smile, giving her a nod. "Hello Ice." I greeted her. "Sir, I'm here to report and... I hate to say that Lake and Snow we're right. There were signs of... them spying on the village." Ice reported.

With a sigh I looked away from her to see a Blue orchid flower on my left. Watching the wind blowing it softly. Moving my eyes to land on Sabre and Pool. The human running out of my sight. Pool following not far behind. I stared at the spot they once were for a moment. "it appears at the peace of this village has finally come to an end." I finally replied.

Looking at the sky. Watching the clouds slowly, slowly move. "could you do me a favor, Ice?" I asked, still looking at the sky's Clouds. "of course, Elder." She answered. "Thank you.-" I looked in her direction. "- I want you to tell all the Stalexs Old enough the News, to be prepared. Don't tell the young ones. We do not want them to worry." I finished. Ice quickly replied "Right away." She said with a slight nod. Ice turned around, bolting somewhere to figure out how to do it. My eyes wander around the village again, only for it to land on the blue flower. Memories flooding in my brain, good and bad ones. I push them to the back of my head. "Oh Stream, I hope you are right about him." I mumbled to myself.

(Sabers POV)

"Pool? I know this is a couple of years late to ask but... do you know why the Stalexs that built this Village decide to build it next to a cliff?" I asked him. We were sitting on a hill on the edge of the village. Watching the sun go down in a sunset. "I don't know, it was probably because of the nice view." Pool answered. "They probably weren't thinking about the safety of the village. Saying that NO ONE are able to survive that fall." I reported. We both went quiet for a moment. Staring off in the distance. The Blue Steve broke the silence. "When do you think we will be able to go out there?" He asked. "Out where?" I Questioned.

"You know! Out of this village! To be able to explore and help the village more." Pool explained. "Probably not until a couple more years sadly." I replied. "But we're both 14! I feel like that's old enough to be able to go out on your own!" He said quite Loudly. "Quiet down Pool, I know we're outside. But I'm pretty sure some Stalexs are trying to sleep right now. And we don't want another incident from last time." I said the last part slowly. Remembering The incident, me and Pool shuttered at the same time. (That is my lame attempt in making a joke) "Well...  anyway, I honestly can't wait to be able to go out on my own as well." I said.

Watching the sun disappear behind the sea in the distance. But as the Sun disappeared there was a sudden big green flash where it once was, it only lasted for a second though. "what... what was that?" I asked, astonished, not really expecting an answer.

Pool answered that question. "I read about it in a book one time! If I'm correct it's called the green flash, it happened during sunrise and sunsets. And It's rare, It's more likely to happen during sunsets." I just stared where the green flash once was. "Wow, That was so cool!" He said excitedly. I back at the blue Steve, his eyes sparkling brighter than stars. " I'm going to head back home now.-" I stood up, Walking towards the village. "-Bye Pool!" "Bye Sabre! See you tomorrow!" I looked back to see him waving goodbye. I waved goodbye as well. "See you tomorrow!"

I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT POSTING THIS EARLIER! ITS BEEN OVER A MONTH!! NO, TWO MONTHS! At least I think... anyway I hope you enjoyed this chapter! And I really am sorry for not posting. I'm not good at this posting regularly thing, and I feel like the people who come across this book Think it's one of those types of books that that the author doesn't post on. And I assure you that this book will not turn into that. It's just that updates will be very, very slow. Just so you know probably most likely in the future I will be fixing most of these chapters, things that could've been worded better, writing mistakes, Etc. And now I feel like I'm just ranting, so I'm just gonna go now. Bye! *Yeets Myself out of just barely fixed window, Breaking it again*
