Adam is an average 17-year-old boy who lives in Burbank, California with a mother and father and his little brother James. They lived happily...until Adam felt a burn on his neck one day. "Ow! What the?" said Adam rubbing the back of his neck, it felt like the burning of hot oil or...fire. He looked in the mirror trying to look at it with him turning his head so much that it would not show on the mirror. Adam finally got a look at it. It was the Japanese character for fire. "What is this?" said Adam beginning to touch it. “Ow!" said Adam he jerked his hand away from the mark losing his position of seeing it in the mirror. “Hurry up Adam!” yelled James from outside the door banging his fist on the door. “Hold on!” shouted Adam. “No!” shouted James back. “Stupid brother”, Adam comes out of the bathroom and sees James in a bathrobe. “You look stupid in that.” “Be quiet you wore this once!” ”I looked better in it.,” said Adam grinning, “Stop fighting!” said Adam’s mom. “Fine, but he started it!” remarked Adam.
Later at school, Adam felt the burn again. “Ah!” yelled Adam rubbing the back of his neck. The first one o look at him was the brains of the class, Sacratice. Sacratice raised his hand “Teacher may I take Adam to the nurse?” said Sacratice “Yes.” said the Teacher with uncertainty. “Come Adam.” Adam arose from his seat and began walking towards Sacratice. Sacratice got up and grabbed Adams wrist. In the hall, Sacratice took Adam to the bathroom. “Hey, the nurse’s office is over there,” said Adam in sort of a whisper. “Be quiet.” in the bathroom Sacratice looked at the of Adam’s sign. “You possess the power of fire Adam. You must not I repeat not let anyone know about this sign or you will lose this power.” “How do you know?” Sacratice held up his left knee lifted his pants to show he had a sign like Adam’s, but different. “What does that mean?” said Adam amazed “Ice. Your sign means fire.” “Oh. Wait you said I have the power of fire? But how did I get it and how do I learn to use it?” “You have to go to Tokyo to learn how to use that power.” “I see. Wait Tokyo, Japan! My mom would never-” Adam stopped he wanted Sacratice to interrupt. “I know I’ll take you after school.” and with the Sacratice left the bathroom. “Hey! What are we going to tell the teacher?” “I’ll take care of it.” “What have I gotten myself into?” Adam thought. After school, Adam ran to Sacratice. “Sacratice, how are we going to get to Tokyo?” Sacratice put his hand over Adam’s mouth “quietly “and pulled him over behind a tree, Sacratice was stronger than he looked. Adam wanted to slap him and run like hit and run but he did not he thought it was for his own good. “Be quiet!” whispered Sacratice. Sacratice grabbed Adam arm and a coffin of ice (as which most people would describe it) and Adam could see though the thick ice his world, his school, his friends all fade away before his eyes. When the ice was gone, all he could see was the bright lights of Tokyo and they looked like a million Christmas lights on a Christmas tree. “Are we in-” Adam could even say the word “Tokyo” he would’ve fainted but Sacratice jerked him away from the bright lights and the people and behind a huge house and Sacratice put him up against a wall. “I don’t want to be here I want to go home!” yelled Adam “You can’t go home any more Adam” said Sacratice covering Adam’s mouth again. Adam pulled Sacratice’s hand away. “What are you talking about?” said Adam as his eyes widened. “You Adam no longer exist.” Adam stepped back, a shocked look on his face. “What do mean I don‘t exist? What’s going on here Sacratice!” “Adam, listen, your parents no longer know you exist, your brother of course does.” “What? Why?” “Ray will explain the rest.” “What who’s Ray?” “Hello Adam!” said and unknown person who hoped on Adam’s back. “Ah! What the…!” “My name is Roy! Very please to meet you!” said Roy sticking his hand out. “Adam tried to avoid Roy and get behind Sacratice, but Roy grabbed his hand and starting shaking it hard. “Come on, you got to meet my older brother Ray!” said Roy. “Ray’s your older brother?” said Adam as Roy jerked him away into the huge house. “Ray!” said Roy jumping on the couch. “Roy?” said the man in front of Roy. “Ray!” said Roy pouncing Ray just like a cat. “Roy! Who is this?” said Ray getting Roy off him. “My name is-” Adam began Roy interrupted “This is Adam he is the master like Sacratice said!” said Roy getting up. “Sacratice said what about me?” said Adam almost annoyed “You Adam are what we call the master of elements other wise known as just as master.” said Ray getting up and wiping himself off. “Sacratice said you’d explain everything,” said Adam walking towards Ray. “Your in grave danger.” said Ray grabbing his wrist. Ray pulled Adam to a room. “This is your room you do what ever you want to it just promise me one thing,” said Ray opening the door. “What?” said Adam walking in the room. “Do not go into the balcony until you’ve learned your power. Am I clear?” “Okay, but why?” “The rejects will get you.” said Ray walking away. “Rejects?” thought Adam looking out at the balcony “What are the rejects?” The next morning Ray’s wife, Anastasia was cooking dinner. “Good morning Adam!” said Anastasia looking as if he’d lived here for years. “Well is this how my new life starts out, huh?” thought Adam walking down stairs to get some of that very good smelling food.
