• The first day I was asked to break a 5x5 feet tree trunk, I thought it was impossible. When my master gave one swift chop, he ripped his trunk in 2. I knew I could do it if a human could, so I gave a go at it. I ended up cracking my hand and snapping it back in place. Then Haiti said, “If you’re going to break this log you must use at least 70% of your real strength!” I knew that sounded impossible, but he said something about looking into yourself and finding the inner power. As a demon this was easy, but the human part wouldn’t let me get it out. After 2 hours of trying to break the log, Master gave me trainee weights. These things were over 25 pounds, but they were only gloves and boots. The longer i wear them, the heavier they get! Haiti said when you become a master at D.S. you can make things heavier then they are. So I decided to wear the weights for about 8 hours. By the end of the day my Master told me to take off the weights and see if I can break the log. This time I was sure I could break it! Yet again, I broke my hand. I told my master I was sure this time, then he yelled, “You can’t be sure, you have to KNOW!” Since it was late out we all decided to sleep, we all needed are rest. For some reason I always sleep standing up, leaning against a wall. I guess I just felt unsafe and my new weights weren’t making it easier, this time 50lbs.

    The next day, I woke up felling like I had 75lbs on my hands and feet...I did! I wasn't allowed to take them off until I was told. So I walked to the kitchen for something to eat, I was stopped by Tec who told me that Haiti was waiting for me in the woods. “I haven’t even eaten yet?!” I exclaimed, but Tec said not to keep his father waiting. While I was walking in the woods I felt something stalking me. There it goes again... It felt big, really big! I could feel it smelling my flesh. I felt like running, but what was I scared of?
    “DIAZ!” Screamed my Master! “You’re 2 hours late!”
    “Sorry Master, it will not happen again!”
    It was still the same subject…break the log. I thought to myself 'I have no idea how today’s any different then yesterday'. Then Haiti told me to take off my weights, I was relieved. As I took off my gloves I thought of the thing in the forest, still stalking me? As the gloves hit the floor, I felt my hands light as a feather! My grip was so dominant?! I knew I could break that log now! I took one powerful chop at the log and broke it in 2.
    I couldn’t believe how strong I was getting, in reality I was speechless. But my master knew I wasn’t a normal human, so he asked me. “Diaz, you’re to powerful for your age, really you’re not even supposed to be able to get out of bed today?”
    So I told him, “Master, I do have demon blood, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.”
    Master calmly said, “It is ok child, you are different, you’re more peaceful. I see a future in you, a future of light and darkness. One day you’re going to change the world Diaz. For better or worse.”
    He then walked off; for once in my life I had someone to look up to. Today’s going to be a lazy one, but tomorrow my day is going to get harder. I still hear something in the woods. It was to dark to see, but I think I don't want to see...
