15 years later
"THEO! GET READY WERE ALMOST LATE!" A voice said
"Coming!"I said
"You got to go easier on him Charles, we're one hour early." Said a woman's voice
"Sorry Evelyn, I- We can't have our son growing up lazy can't we? He has to be just like me!" Said Charles, my father
" Always so proud of yourself Charles, but even I want to stay here for a little more" Said Evelyn, my mother
Many say I got my mothers hair and my fathers eyes. Although I used to have black hair and grey eyes before the plane crash, I now have blond hair and red eyes. My mentality also seems to have gone back as well. My overly annoying and jerk of a older brother, however, is the opposite. He had dark brown hair (my father's) and grey eyes ( My mothers )
"Hey Theo! Gonna disappoint us today?" My brother said while hitting me in the back
"Shut up Cole"
I'd show him
"Alright big boss hahaha"
My mother used her hex Zephyr to serve some pancakes for us. No matter how much I see her do that I still get surprised.
Cole and I devoured those pancakes and got ready to go to the ceremony.
The ceremony is the place where you get your hex, God Ivy decided that when you are 15 at exactly 12 o'clock everyone in the center of the city would get a hex. It can not go over 12 o'clock or else you can't get a hex. Of course only those who didn't want one didn't have one. No matter what, you'd have to be really weak to not get one.
There are 2 common hexes: Water and Earth hexes , 2 rare hexes: Wind, Fire hexes , and 2 unique hexes: Light And Darkness hexes. Mutations can appear in some hexes making them combined hexes which has two attributes in them. My father , Charles Aldric Turnerhas the hex Moonlight, a combination of light and darkness, making it one of the rarest hexes. His enemy's all call him The Monochrome Fighter. My mother, Evelyn Maris Turner, got Zhephyr, a wind hex that combined with a water hex.
A curse who no one knows who created, was installed to the hexes so that they have to 'link' with a human to use their strength. Hexes are the ones that give skills to people depending on how many experience points they have and what they have been doing to get those experience points. They are also the ones who can allocate experience points to increase your stats. The stronger the hex, the stronger the skills they give and the more exp they can produce.
My brother Cole Blaze Turner who is 17 got a combined hex of wind and fire giving him Voltaire, a electric spirit basically.
He for some reason thinks I will disappoint the family by getting a bad hex. He truly hates me
Anyways we finished the pancakes and went outside to the carriage to Azgard
It looks like the 17th century city but really, it was 2024. People, after gaining hexes, never really saw the reason to continue developing science, so they left it at that.
We got to the center of the city 15 minutes after and looked at the time. I really should've gotten ready sooner. It was 11:50 am, almost time for the ceremony
We got off the carriage and looked around. It was a ginormous church with a giant clock and a circle in the center. The chair looked comfty. I went and sat down to wait. They were.
I heard the bells ringing and quickly ran to the center.
I was so exited to finally get a hex. I was sure it was going to be a great one, because of my father. Everyone else also thought so and they even made a pedestal for me so that no one would miss a moment of me.
I was also nervous and worried
"What if Cole is right?" I thought
"What if I don't get anything good?"
Suddenly I was called to get on the pedestal.
As I got on, I saw the giant clock on the wall and I saw it strike 12
I waited to see my hex
I saw around me all the other whooping in joy.
Even that one grey haired kid.. what was his name again?
Cade. Cade Arlon Melvik.
He seems to have gotten a mutated hex. It has never been seen before. It introduced itself as Natas as new hex. I waited till I got mine.
I waited till the clock struck 12:01
I had no Hex.
"huh"
"Weird"
