Title: "The Ultimate Quest"

Albus Newton The Ultimate Quest

Chapter-1 "A Whole New World"

I am Albus Newton and this is the story of how my life was greatly changed. The day it all started I was sitting there talking with my friends, we were discussing a trip, I have three friends. We are all 13 except Otis Finnigan, he is 16. We have no idea why he hangs around with us, but we don't care because he drives us around. He is tall and lanky with blonde hair. We all met him last year. My two other friends are twin brothers, their names are Larry and Harry. They both have jet black hair, and are short and stalky. I live with Harry and Larry.
We finally decided where to go for our trip after a couple of hours discussing. We decided to go to Colorado. We wanted to visit the mountains. Our plan was to leave as soon as possible, so we started packing. In no time at all we were on the road. We were greatly anticipating the time that we arrive. All of us were tired except for Otis, he was wide awake. We all started to doze off.
I was in a dream. I drempt that I was walking through a forest and a guy came along and hit me down. Somehow we started flying and fighting. He started to talk about something but I couldn't understand what he was saying. Something about all-powerful, and I don't want you here anymore. Then everything went blank.
Suddenly, I jumped up and I was awake, back in the car. My mind was racing with thoughts about what I'd just drempt. I was in a cold sweat, I thought for a second, and I layed back down. Everyone except Otis was asleep. We were already in Colorado. It looked like we were on a mountain. I was too tired to look at the ground below, or the mountains above, so I layed back down.
All of the sudden the car started bouncing around. We must have hit every pot hole on the road, and then I heard a sound that made me jump back against Larry. I went for my seat belt, but it was to late. The door swung open and I was free-falling. I was helplessly rolling down the mountain. I could feel myself being cut all over. I knew for sure that I had no chance for survival. I hit my head against a huge rock, and I blacked out.
When I woke up I was laying on the side of the mountain. I couldn't tell if I was alive or not. It was pitch dark. I was bleeding all over, and I was freezing cold. I couldn't move any of my limbs. I just lay there, totally helpless. I had no idea what I was supposed to do. I was still much to high on the mountain to do anything, and no one could see me up here.
I layed there for about two hours, half awake, and half asleep. I thought I was seeing things , but I thought I saw a black shadow walking towards me. I didn't know if I was to be scared or excited, but the shadow drew closer and closer. I started to see a person in the black shadow. The person kept on drawing nearer until his feet were at my head. It was a man in a dark blue cloak. The only words he said were,"Well you look like you could use a little help there." I had no idea who he was, but I didn't care. He was there to help me so I was content. He picked me up and we headed down a trail that weaved around the mountain. Then to my surprise he said something.
"It's a miracle you survived that fall you know."
I could barely talk but I pulled the words out,"Yeah I guess I'm pretty lucky."
We walked and walked, actually he did all the walking, I was in no shape to do any walking. It seemed like we walked forever. I was extremely happy that somebody found me, but I still had some questions.
Finally, the trail ended at some huge wooden gates that read,"Dragon Nest". I was totally bewildered, I had no idea what was going on or where we were.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"This is Dragon Nest. It is the village where I live."
"Oh, I've never heard of it or seen it on map, I must have hit my head on that rock hard" I replied.
The man looked like he was trying to figure out something to say, then he did,"No your not in a dream world. My name is Seppledore Longs and I'm a wizard."
I just about passed out at the spot. A wizard, an actual wizard.
At the gates there were three little goblin lookin' creatures patrolling.
"Only people with a wizard blood line may enter the village."
They took out a magnifying glass and observed us. The one of the little goblins grunted and said,"Well, all clear. You may enter." I was too tired to ask any questions, I fell asleep right at the scene.
I woke up the next morning and I felt great. I was lying in what looked like a hospital, Seppledore and a little woman were looking over me.
"Well he is all clear." The little woman said.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am Miss Dalser, the village nurse."
"How in the world can I move my bones regularly, and all my cuts are gone?"
"Well, you see, some lucky people are born with a special power. Those lucky people can heal peoples' wounds, brakes, or anything else, as long as it is not death. That is one thing we can't do, we can't bring back the dead. That is how you are healed. It took no time at all. Now that you are finished you are free to go. Seppledore, why don't you go give Albus a tour of village?"
"Okay that sounds like a great idea." Seppledore replied.
So we were walking around looking at everything in the village.
"This is our village. There are eight different villages in the our world, this is Dragon Nest as you have probably guessed. The other seven are; Oak Valley, Hollyvil, Narlington, Vanburen, Paxington, Boarland, and the capitol city is Nesstador. All of the villages are similar. The capitol city, Nesstador, has the bank, shops, and the training grounds. You go to train when you think you are ready. The bank is called Flippenhower National, that is where all the witches and wizards keep their money. In the seven villages there are mainly huts and houses. There are also hotels and motels. There are villages all over the world. There are two in the United States. Dragon Nest is here in Colorado, and Nesstador is in Georgia. Each village has a hospital."
I had a thought that has been bothering me all night, but I didn't want to ask him. I wondered why they let me in if you have to have to be in a wizard bloodline. I dunno, maybe they just let me in because I was hurt.
"Well, Albus, are you hungry?"
"I guess a little lunch would be nice." I replied
We went to a peculiar little restaurant called "Grapes and Pig Noses." I was hoping the food was better than the name.
We sat at a table outside since it was a nice day, and a little troll came and waited on us.
"Oy! What you twos peoples want?"
Seppledore looked at his menu, and then looked back up at the troll. I'll have some snuckeberry steak and some strawberry lemon juice."
"Okay how about you small fry?"
I looked at him and said, I'll have some Walrus Soup and some grape juice."
"Mmkay be back in a sec."
"Seppledore, I was wondering, where am I going to live? I did live with Harry and Larry Nelson, but I don't exactly know where they are."
"Well Albus, you could live here, but you have to go to train to be like us. Otherwise you won't fit in with everyone else, and you might have a little trouble living here."
"Well what can these people do that I can't?"
"Hmm, okay, I think I can help a little bit."
Just after he said that he jumped up in the air and was airborne. He pointed his finger at a tree and it exploded. He looked down at me and gave a mischievous grin. He came back down to the ground and I was in shock.
"Wow! I can learn to do that?"
"When you are done training you will be able to do things you only dreamed of doing."
When he told me that I was sold. I wanted to begin training A.S.A.P.
We sat back down because the little troll was waiting impatiently.
"This all yur needs?"
"Yes, thank you very much sir."
Well there you go Albus, enjoy."
"Okay thanks."
I really enjoyed that weird lunch, it was actually pretty good. When we left the restaurant we headed toward Seppledore's house. On the way lots of witches and wizards watched us walk by. They were cleaning their yards and houses without touching a thing. It was the most amazing thing seeing real people using magic.
We got to Seppledore's house after about fifteen minutes of walking. When we stepped inside he told me to make myself at home, and he left to get drinks. I took my coat off and looked around his house. There were old brooms and pictures of old people. There were also cloaks and clothes lying around.
A couple of minutes later Seppledore came back with some Boktroff. He said it's a popular wizard drink. It was dark green and it smelt great. I took a drink and it tasted delicious. It tasted better than the pop I usually drink.
"How do you like it Albus?"
"Wow, it's really good!"
"I know, it has been around for as long as I can remember."
I sat there and wondered about what I should ask, then it came to me.
"How did you know I was going to be on that mountain last night?" I asked
"To tell you the truth, I had no idea that you were there. I was just taking a walk and I found you. I recognized you from somewhere but I didn't know where, and I didn't really want you to just lay there for the rest of your life, so I took you with me. When we were walking I realized where I recognized you from. You are from our race. I could see it in your face. Some normal people are born with blood of the Kentaykana, they are wizards who are the offspring of normal people. The people that are born like that are very powerful. Most evil people are aware when someone like you is born. They can feel the power from somewhere. Whenever someone like you is born the evil people track them down and kill them. Someone probably tried to track you down too, but I guess you got lucky. You are still alive. There is only one other person in the world that has this special gift, and didn't get killed. You and the other man are the only one's to live this long. With some training you and I can become the
"Really? You will train me and I will become that strong? Sure that sounds great! I only have a few questions. Who is Sephiroth? And who is the other Kentaykana that is still alive with the special ability?"
"Sephiroth Spite is the most powerful person in the world. He wants everyone to obey him, and everyone in the world to bow down to him. As for your other question, I thought you might have guessed by now, but I am the other person in the world born into the normal world. That is how you and I could become the most powerful force in the world. You and I have a gift that makes us extra powerful. With you fully trained, and me at my best, we might be able to finally defeat Sephiroth. Like I said, it will take about a year for you to get fully trained. We should begin as soon as we can.
