• A Lion’s Destiny
    Hey if you want my opinion being a half-link sucks. (Half-links have to save the world, lose their families, and etc.) Oh yea a half-link is a person mostly a teenager now with an anispirit. An anispirit is a minor spriit(like foxes, bats, hawks,etc) or one of the four great spirits. The spirits are the lion, the wolf, the crocodile, and the eagle. You’ll hear more about them later. Let’s go on now.

    It’s a normal day for most teens. But as it’s reputation 13 is bad luck. Today is my thirteenth birthday and I’m having bad luck even before I get out of bed. I open my eyes to look around my room and in my face is my families’ garden hose. (How in the world did it get it in here?) My Sister Ashley shouted, “ Get ready to have a cold shower!”” Wait what?” I shouted. After she released the water I got up and started to chase her. “Get back here runt!” I shouted.

    That’s my nickname for my sister. Even though she’s not my real sister I still treat her like one. My parents died after I was born.(Or so I thought.) James and Kathy are my aunt and uncle. But for most of my life I treated them like my mom and dad. My relatives just tell James and Kathy to get rid of me just because I’m a little bit different…uh okay a lot different. I’m like the black sheep of the family.

    Oh yeah My name is Caleb Helfang Leobane. People say that’s a warrior’s name. (Turns out to be true). I live in the town of Crowville. (Named after all the crows here. Bad omen huh). That’s enough about me let’s go on now. I ran after Ashley and her Friend Nicole. They were down the stairs already when I got there. (Fast little punks). I needed to get down there quickly, then it came to my mind…jump.

    Okay lets go back a bit. Yes, I said jump. I know I’m crazy but I had to do it. Also my house is a three-story house. (James and Kathy have great paying jobs.) Those punks are already at the first floor.

    So I jump at first I was scared, but then something weird happens. Air forms around my legs and act like parachutes. What the F… heck.

    I landed right in front of them. “AAAAhhhhhhh!” they screamed. “SHUT UP!” I shouted. Then I blacked-out. I felt a sharp in my neck. By what I figure it was Aj. My older brother (Not by blood.)

    I awoke in a daze. I heard whispers, “You shouldn’t had hit him so hard.” Said a familiar voice. “Sorry, He was going to find out.” apologized Aj.

    I got up very slowly so not to make to much noise. Conveniently I was in front of the garage door. I opened the door then made a run for it. Because anywhere at anytime there could be one of Ashley’s traps. One time fell down into a hole filled with a four-foot long boa; lucky it was already fed. (How in Drago’s…God’s name did she get It.)? But as always I fell into one of her stupidly obvious traps.

    In front of me was a rope tied to each wall of the garage. I tripped over it. The rope was connected to the wall by pulleys, and when the force was gone the pulleys would move back into place. So the trap was when I tripped over than rope the fake hand would move back. When the force was released it would move back into place, then when it moved back it would press a button that would open the garage door. When I tripped over the rope I started rolling. The garage door just started opening when

    WHAM!
    I hit the door with full force. It felt liked being punched all over the body at the same time.

    When the door fully opened I fell to the ground. I started to get up and rub my face (your face would hurt too if you hit a garage door at full speed.). Then I heard something that surprised me. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” said all my friends and family. “Huh? What? Whoa,” I stammered. “You guys did this for me?”
    “Of course lets hurry and do this so you punks can got to school.” Said AJ with a smug look on his face.
    “Yeah lets hurry Caleb.”
    “James I thought you left for business trip to New York City.”(James is my uncle)
    “Do you think I would leave on my son’s birthday.”
    When he said that I felt something fall into the pit stomach. James never called me son even before I know that I was not really his son.
    “Hey what’s wrong Caleb?” asked Diana
    “Nothing, I’m okay.” I lied
    “Of course you should be fine it’s your birthday!” shouted Kane
    Kane and Diana have been my best friends since for a long time. I met Kane on one of James’ business trips and for Diana, my mom (my real mom) knew her mom for a long time. Her mom offered my relatives to take me in, most of them told James to accept the offer but James told them that my Dad asked him a long time ago to take of me if anything happened to him and my mom. The day I met Kane I learned I was adopted.
