Dycer and the Ring
As I walk back from the horrific events that have just occurred, let me tell you my story…
It all began when I was eight years old in the backseat of my father’s Toyota. He turns around, a ring in his hands. He mutters “Take great care of this, and remember I love you Dycer.” I guess he knew what was about to happen. I had put on the ring and soon later the car exploded. It was as if time had frozen and a loud ringing in my ears. I was unharmed, however my father was not as fortunate. I woke up thinking it was all a nightmare. When my vision returned I saw I was in a hospital bed, my heart sunk and was drowned by my tears. Like the rest of my family, he was gone. I looked at my family heirloom, the last thing he had given me. I admired the ring, it was in the shape of a dragon biting its tail. I saw my reflection in the shining gold, the eye of the dragon glowed a bright emerald and my father had always wondered why.
As if the ring read my mind and felt my emotion, it had teleported me to the hall in our mansion. I could not remember much as I had fallen unconscious. I had woken up “Whe…where am I…” I walked into the butler, Larro. “Master, you are awake! I will make some breakfast.”
“Wait…”
“Oh what is it sir?”
“How did I get here?”
“I don’t know sir, I found you on the floor and took you to your bed. The doctor told me everything, I am now your legal guardian.”
“Ok… let's eat.”
For five years I had tried to use my ring’s powers, it would never work. I had gone to school with my friend, Mystico. As we were walking back from a day of school, he said “I believe you can unlock the powers and when you do…” He stopped and grinned, “See you later!”
“See you!” I replied and continued my journey.
On the way I saw Marcus who is menacing and likes taking his anger out on everyone. He has blonde hair with a built torso, he runs the school and everyone is afraid of him. He has a scare down the side of his face. There were many close calls where he almost beat me up, but I would be too fast. When he shouted “Hey you!” the natural instinct was to run, paralysed in fear, my legs wouldn’t move. Marcus punched me so I started bleeding near my eye. “Give me that ring!” he demanded as he grabbed my collar and shoved me against the wall. He tried to take the ring but it had tightened around my finger, as if to say it wouldn't leave me. Marcus’ grasp tightened but like something had just electrocuted him, he was launched backwards. Cowering behind a bush he screams “What are you… you freak!”
“I am… your worst nightmare.” I replied calmly. As I was about to scorch him with flames, an inner voice told me that I shouldn’t waste my time. I knocked him out with a simple punch and started walking home.
As I looked at the mansion on the coast of the sea, I felt exhilarated. I looked at the river expecting to see my reflection, instead I saw a man with gold armour with a dragon implanted in the middle. It reminded me of my ring as it was similar in design. Realisation dawned upon me as I had resolved that it was actually me in that armour. My armour was quite muddy so I had willed the water to clean it. The water did as I had commanded, in a state of shock I found out that I could control the elements so I had decided to see if I had speed and strength. Reading my thoughts the ring had frozen time, to others it would seem like a flash of light. With my speed I ran to a colossal rock in the distance and struck it with my fist. To my surprise it had split in half, as if lightning had struck it. The ring, seeing that I want to take the armour off, it had majestically absorbed it. I walked home and fell on my bed and fell asleep to rest my mind and powers, not knowing what the next day would bring…
