Any references similar to any other story or person is entirely coincidental. Author's note: This is my the first chapter of the story, plz give me feedback, cuz I will need to know what to add for my 3rd chapter The Special One Chapter 1: Unfortunate Evening It was an early morning for Keellen. He worked daily from 6:00 in the morning to 9:00 at night: milking the cows, cleaning the stables, splitting firewood, feeding all the farm animals, etc^Å As the main male role model for the rest of the family, being as his father has been sent to war and they never heard of him since, he had to take care of his mother and of his 2 younger siblings, a brother and a sister. At the tender age of 12 he has learned enough to keep the family together and out of any major debts. His mother took care of as many of the household chores along with his sister, cleaning and cooking mostly. Keellen's mother is around 28 years old, which means that she had Keellen at the age of 16. But for the year 1506, 16 years old was quite late to have children and the life expectancy of a person is around 45 years old. His siblings are both younger than him, being 11 and 10 respectively, his sister and brother. His sister learns by helping out her mother and Keellen around the house. She learnt how to cook, clean and warm up the house during those harsh winters. Keellen tries to teach his little brother the ropes to work in the field and in the barn with the animals, but all of his attempts ended in failure. Keellen knew that he had his brother had to learn or else he would not be able to help support the family. Though the family doesn't have many debts, they are on the brink of poverty. It takes Keellen 2 day's worth of work to be able to afford 1 pound of flour which his mother and sister cooked to bread. If his brother would learn to work then they'd be more efficient to bring food to the table. Well there he lies. After a full day's work Keellen was lying in the long uncut grass, letting his 5' frame become imprinted into it. He then sits up; flexing his abs in doing so, remembering that at this time of night mosquitoes lies hidden in the grass, ready to bite the next thing that come across them. He noticed that he reeked of the day's work, so he jumped into the pond, lit by the full moon above, naked. He resurfaced and ran his fingers through his natural straight blond hair that reached about an inch above his head. He then ran his fingers over his built chest and abs, though he's only 12 years old, all the hard day's work gave him a body to brag about. His eyes shined red in the light of the night sky and of the moonlight. His young face lit on one side gave himself some contrast. His nose is small and straight and his lips were soft and full. His ears were also little and remained uncovered by his wet hair. After the much needed bath in the pond, he decided to go back to the house. The house itself was well-kept, with both his mother and sister; it's an easy task to clean. He walked up the trail leading up to the house, letting the wind dry him up. After his body became all dry, he put on his clothes. As soon as he finished putting his shirt on, he smelt something, something like smoke. He quickly ran up to the bushes that were close to the house, so that he could hear and see what was happening. "Ah, Rogues." Keellen said to himself. There were men at the entrance of the house, torches in hand. Keellen looked over to the barn, and just like he thought, it was in a bursting inferno. He looked back over to the house as he heard screams from the inside. He knew that his mother and sister were being violated then killed, since he knew that he could be of no help to that situation he looked for his brother. He looked over to the back porch and saw that his brother's motionless body and severed head. Now completely angered, he stealthily went up behind one of the men that were alone, and then a loud crack could be heard from all around. Losing his footing, the other men ran after him and caught up to him. They grabbed Keellen and pushed him to the ground. One of the men grabbed his sword and was ready to chop his head when they noticed something changed. "NO!" Keellen screamed as his normally red eyes shifted to a bright blue. Everything stopped, even the sound waves of his voice went immobile, and therefore it was completely silent. Then everything went dark as though he fell into a deep sleep, and blacked out. More notes (YAY): ok so Keellen did something spectacular, yet it won't show up till the next chapter. This is to see his life before it completely changed. I'll definitely need more ideas but you'll have to read chapter 2 to know what is starting to happen^Å Next chapter: Keellen reappears in 2006, meets his life partner and his sidekick (therefore he's a superhero), Keellen discovers some of his powers after some incident, but that's all I'll tell now Sincerely SSARJS "Everybody knows that you, you mean the world to me, Everybody knows But you Everybody knows that you you captured my fantasy Everybody knows it's true, now and forever" Everybody Knows-Fragma
