“DAMASKINOS!!!!!” I shouted over the roaring wind, “You killed my parents and now I will kill you.” Damaskinos laughed loud and hard “So you think you can beat me…do you realize that I killed your parents at the height of their power. And you can’t even control your own very well…oh I will say you when enraged can be very powerful but if only you could control it…but alas you can’t so you will be nothing to me.” His eyes start to bead right through me…and I felt a little strange. “You know what…I don’t fell like killing you right now…no…I wont kill you, but I will show you want you are up against.” And with that he moved…well to him he moved to me he teleported and sliced my face wide open…right over the top of my right eye. How the hell did I get here…I thought to myself as I flew throw the air…it all started about four years ago.

“MOM!!” I yelled, “You were supposed to wake me up at 0500.”
“I thought that you would like a break from all of your training and studying. You have doing that since you were 4 ½ years old.” Alexandria said.
“Son, you really should go out there and play with the other kids.” Christopher said. “I would be good for you if you just went and played or slept in. Like a normal 16 year old.”
“Dad, you know as well as I do, I am not normal. Come on, when I get mad my eyes turn red and teeth sharpen.” I said defensively. “Besides, I want to learn all martial arts I can and master them at an early age. Sure I have mastered all the ones from earth and some from sector 5ZA but come one, I don’t think that well help me if I get in a fight, because most people know the earth ones and Sector 5ZA, well, that is a weak planet.”
“Son, you are right but don’t forget that your mother and I don’t know them yet.” Christopher said in defense.
“Dad, I know that you and mom don’t know them and I was thinking about that and I have always got the feeling that I just don’t belong here. I mean my strength has surpassed both of yours and you both say that no one in your family has ever had strength like this. When I am mad I easily run over forty mile per hour, I know I out run cars on the highway and I feel like my knowledge is from ages of living, not just that of a 16 year old. Once when I was madder then ever, I through my arm, opened my hand, and a ball of energy shot out at the old car I would use for weaponry target practice.” I said. The look at the last remark shook my parents real hard. I didn’t tell them because I didn’t want them to know what I did. I felt that no one should know about it at the time, but that was when I learned to control my anger.
After hearing this from his son, Christopher knew what he had to do and what he had to tell his son. “Son, we have to tell you something very important.” Christopher looked at his wife, and continued, “we are not your real parents, they were murdered, but before your real mom was killed she was able to put you in a basket and send you down the river.”
“I’M WHAT!!!” I yelled at the top of my lungs. “I am sorry, I should not have yelled but I was kind of a shock.” I said apologetically.
Alexandria just shook her head, “It is ok, and you need not apologize for the yell.”
Christopher said “Will you please excuse me for a minute.” It was more of a command then a request. Two minutes later Christopher showed up again and handed a letter to me.
Dear Komodo,
I am sorry you had to find out like this but there was no other way for you to know. We of course could not keep you for we knew that they were going to kill us and try to kill you, so I put you in a basket and sent you down the river, hoping that some one will find you.
You should at lest know that you are a very powerful pure mage but you will have to find a way to use your powers because your father and I are very different. I was a human and your father was a vampire that didn’t drink blood. Don’t worry you are only a half vampire, so you have all the things you need to live a normal life as a human, but you will move faster, think quicker, have a hell of a lot more strength then any human alive, you will heal faster, and learn things at about 10 times the rate of any life form on the planet. That is, unfortunately, all I can tell you. Because you are the first half-human, half-vampire, no one will know how to unlock you powers and according to your father, there is a prophecy on his planet that in the time of great need the Hybrid will appear with the knowledge of a fully grown vampire and the powers to match”. Now I asked your dad about the term Hybrid and he said that it applies to the vampire that can walk out in the sun, but that is all I can tell you about that.
I can tell you the name that our killer was going by at the time. It was Uranus. Now, Komodo this something that you must understand very greatly, Uranus is a very powerful mage with a heart of pure evil. He is not one you should underestimate. Please take care of yourself, keep the medallion safe and around you at all times because it is the last thing that your father and I could ever give you. I am sorry my son.

Looking up from the letter. “Mom…Dad… I will be leaving as soon as I finish my sword. I will track down the killer but I will need a space ship.” I said looking at my parents.
“You will have the best ship we can buy for you.” Mom said and Dad nodded in agreement.
Two months later my sword was finished. It was ok, it was definitely not the best in the world…but it would work for now. My wardrobe was made of simple but good-looking clothes; I had a black tee shirt; cargo pants; and big black overcoat. My sword was on my back with the hand at my right shoulder and the strap going from my upper right shoulder to under my left side. I had on Black boots that were waterproof.
Mom and Dad went to get my space ship, because my sword was complete. My Ship was ok. It had warp speed of .003 (which is about the speed of light), it had shields of 005958(the strongest weapons can reach 502089, so not the best defense in the universe), Auto-blasters (I don’t need to aim or anything just shoot), and it had average agility. As I was getting ready to leave, my dad said, “I heard in town, the best place to go is this place called ‘Lucky 7’s’ but you have to be a cat-person or escorted by one to go there.”
“Ok dad I will remember that” I said then got in my ship and left.
