Come now, and let me tell you how my life began. I was boy growing up in a home with parents that were natural rebels themselves. They have taught me much about powers and how great they are. My parents told me that we should be free to explore our beautiful powers and know our limits. I waited for the day that I acquired my powers, which happened when I was at a park. I attempted to climb up a very large tree. I made sure my parents were not looking because they were not too fond of me climbing trees, which I really loved to do as a boy. I climbed up the tall tree and made it to a branch. I looked down and saw how high up I was. I was too scared to climb back down because I did not want to fall. My mom and dad saw me in the tree and ran over to tell me to get down. I told them, "I can't."
They were not satisfied with that response. My dad said to me, "If you got yourself up there, then you can get yourself down."
My mom looked over to him and said, "Larry! He could fall if he tried to get down by himself."
"Susan, I am right here to catch him if he does.", my father said to my mom. I eventually stopped listening to their conversation when I heard cracking. It was the branch breaking off from the tree. I screamed, "Mom! Dad! Help!", but before they could do anything the branch broke and I fell and closed my eyes. However, I did not hit the ground. My father said, "Daniel, open your eyes."
I opened my eyes and saw that I was hovering above the ground with fire shooting out of my hands. My parents were glad to see my powers had kicked in. I was seven when this happened. My parents put me on punishment for two days for climbing the tree, but the third day when I arrived from school I was off punishment and my parents put together a celebration for me obtaining my powers. My aunts and uncles were there, and my favorite cousin Gerald was there. Gerald was very kind to me and would always take me places. Gerald and my dad were cousins, and they practically treated each other like brothers. Sometimes I would spend the night over Gerald's house, but once he became a member of the Authority Of Cor around when I was ten years old, my dad and Gerald stopped talking. My father did not like the Authority Of Cor, because of how much they discriminated against the people who were of Craig's bloodline. My father was appalled at the idea of someone like Gerald joining those who bring about systematic discrimination to those apart of Craig's bloodline like both of them. Believe me hon when I tell you that I have notice the discrimination personally. When I was fourteen, the Authority were hunting someone who committed the so-called crime of unauthorized use of powers. All the person did was see how high he can build a mountain, but he was male and of Craig's bloodline and broke the law so the Authority couldn't find him, and assumed that just because I am of Craig's bloodline that it was me who did it. The authority tried to arrest me after school, but my parents were there waiting for me. They confronted the Authority, demanding a reason for arresting me. The Authority told them about the guy who used his powers inappropriately by creating a mountain.
My dad told them I was not the guy, and that my powers allowed me to create and manipulate fire not rock. The Authority didn't believe him even though he showed my identification to them which you already know shows a person's super-abilities. They still did not accept the evidence, and my mother and father automatically knew the real reason for them trying to arrest me. The public fear of people of Craig's bloodline not following orders and getting away, so to calm the public down, the Authority needed to arrest someone of Craig's bloodline. They saw an opportunity with me, and went with it. My dad and mother on the other hand had a different idea in mind. They immediately started to fight the Authority physically to release me. The Authority let go of me to deal with my mom and dad. The Authority eventually subdued my parents and took them away. I was free from arrest because of a court order stating that my parents had corrupted me into being disobedient and non-compliant with the law. I knew it was an unjustified ruling. Gerald eventually found out what happened and decided to take care of me. On the other hand I had my own plans. The Authority's rules were too strict and allowed no freedom to explore our powers and were also prejudice against people of Craig's bloodline. I decided to seek justice for my mom and dad by releasing my story about the unethical arresting of my parents to the public. People understood my pain, and I eventually developed a group of friends; Agalhoff, Bangledesh, Diana, and Cythia my teen love. The Authority threatened to arrest me for stirring up controversy. Gerald would save me from being arrested, but wanted me to stop revealing the unethical arresting of my parents, and proving the Authority to be corrupt with power. Gerald told me that if I was to live under his roof and protection, then I need to stop. I decided to move out and live with my friends who live in an abandoned building. Gerald refused, but I told him I don't need him and never will. Gerald let me go run off with my friends. I would still pay him visits to let him know how my life was going. Me living with my friends was great though. We embraced our powers. Agalhoff had the ability to make things combust in explosion by vibrating particles on an object which allowed the particles to expand. Cythia could pull electrical energy from anything. Cythia could pull electrical energy from the air and it would take the shape of a blade. Diana could manipulate air by circulating it into the center of a vortex and toss it in a direction she wanted it to go. It would be a lot of air that she can throw too. Bangledesh could absorb iron and turn his whole body into iron. He would also have to release some of the iron from his body because it would weigh him down and make it harder to move fast.
My dear, me and my friends were a group of misfits. We had no place in society. Well I would of had a role to play, but not my friends. See that was the problem with the system that the Authority set-up. They made a system where everyone has a role to play with their powers to contribute to society, but there were people with powers that could not be used in a way to support society. Those whose powers were considered no good for the system were left out. The only way for them to get out of poverty was to join the Authority, but the Authority was not too accepting of everyone. On the other hand, those in poverty statistically were more capable of expressing happiness than those with a role in society. The ones with a role in the system, treated their roles like an inescapable prison, because you already know, once you were assigned a role, the Authority expected you to stay with that role for life. There was no exploring other options even if your powers make it possible for someone to take up another role. The Authority would not let anybody experiment with their powers to know what other things they can do with them. The people in poverty were more free than the people with a role. Basically the Authority created a system of poverty, discrimination, depression, and tyranny, yet they wondered why people didn't want to abide by their system even if it meant risking the uprising of someone becoming dictator of the planet. Still, the Authority were able to maintain some control over the planet because of all the poor people wanting to join the Authority. This caused the public to expand a system they hated. The Authority had massive influence and spread propaganda all over Cor from billboards to the schools. I eventually stopped attending school at the age seventeen. My friends did too because they hated the system as much as I did. We were poor and had to resort to petty thievery in order to eat. Our lives were great though. We were free to enjoy ourselves. Until, the time I was eighteen and testing the extreme limits to my powers. Our abandoned building was next to a hospital, and when I wanted to see how big I can make a fire from my hands in the ally between the Hospital and the abandoned building, I ended up setting the hospital on fire. A camera caught what happened on video, but even though it was an accident as my facial expression displayed, I knew I would be done for if the Authority came to the scene. I told my friends what happened and that I needed to get to the only person who could help clear my name, Gerald.
We rushed to Gerald's house, but the Authority was quick to respond to what happened, and tracked me down because they sent the footage to all members of the Authority. I told my friends to wait outside Gerald's house. I knocked on his door hard. Gerald opened the door and I rushed inside and said, "Close the door!"
Gerald asked me, "What's going on?"
"The Authority is after. Didn't you get the footage?", I mentioned. Gerald said, "No, I'm off duty. Only the members on duty at the time will get a notification of any trouble somewhere; but what exactly did you do to make the Authority want to hunt you down?"
"I was experimenting with my powers in ally and I released too much fire which ended up burning a hospital that was next door to me.", I told him. Gerald was shocked and said, "Daniel! Why would you even experiment with your powers without proper training from a school assistant? Also, why would you experiment with your powers at all, you know that's against the law?"
"I know. I was curious and wanted to see how big of a fire I can make with my hands. I know what I did was not okay, but I never meant to burn down a hospital. You got to help me please! The Authority will never let this go until they catch me.", I cried. Gerald sighed and said, "Exactly Daniel. They will never let it go until they arrest you. I can't do nothing about your situation this time."
I didn't believe he couldn't do anything bout the situation so I asked him, "You can't or you won't because your a man of the law?"
"Daniel, I do wish I can do something to help you out of this, but this is way too big for me to handle. When you break a law and you're part of Craig's bloodline, the Authority will stop at nothing to take you away. Me defending you from them will only jeopardize my wife and son's safety. I can't risk my family for this situation Daniel. Your going to have to turn yourself in." he says. I was appalled with his response. I was going to say something back to him, but someone knocked on the door. Gerald looked out the eye-hole and opened it. It was the authority standing their to take me away. Gerald looked over to me, and then look away and said to the Authority, "Take him away."
They tackled me and beat me down. I kicked and screamed, but they gained hold of me. I tried to struggle to get free as they dragged me out of his house. Gerald just stood at the door looking at them take me away onto a hovercraft, in shame. My friends were in hiding and watching the whole thing. I was scared for my life. I did not know what they would do to me.
The hovercraft entered space, and they flew me all the way to the exile planet. It was a very long trip. They held me in a cell right along with some other prisoners. The other prisoners were not too fond of me because word got out that I burnt down a hospital. Soon as we were tossed onto the exile planet and the handcuffs broke off, the other prisoners beat me down. I had to fight to get away. I ran as fast as I could and lost them, but I became homeless living in a deserted area. Eventually some riders came along and saw me. They took me in under their wing. They taught me how to fight with my powers. After a few years, I became the leader by beating the president in fair battle. Apparently the riders followed a system that was similar to the exile planet's entire system. You would fight in tournaments to become king of the exile planet. Eventually I stepped up to the plate to become king. My fighting skills were good enough to help me rise in rank in a matter of two years. I earned the nickname, "Ender Victor", because I was notoriously known for putting an end to other fighters' victory streaks. I eventually met up with my friends from Cor, again. They told me they were brought to the exile planet two months after I was arrested. I asked them what were they arrested for. Agalhoff told me what Cythia did. She killed Gerald and his wife. I was completely unsatisfied with that answer. Agalhoff told me they were all in on it to seek revenge on Gerald for letting me get taken away by the Authority. Cythia was going to say something, but I put my hand up and shook my head. I did not want to hear them say anything else. I understand me and Gerald got off on the wrong foot, but I did not wish for my cousin to die for not saving me from the Authority that day. I walked away from them and never spoke to them again. I just continued on fighting to rise up to challenge the king for the throne after another two years. I won the fight and held position as king. My first order was that everyone was free to do as they please, just like they already were. We continued the fights as a tradition to gain the throne. I kept on ending people's victory streaks still living up to the name. It was great.
Then he came along. You know who I'm talking about. Oliver exiled to the planet because he was abducting people and stealing their powers. Oliver got into the fighting competition and immediately started taking out top fighters; and in a matter of two years, he rose up in rank to challenge for the throne. Oliver and I had a great battle. Unfortunately, I lost to him. Oliver became king. I respected it. Oliver made me his right hand man. Oliver immediately ruled that everyone must do something productive with their powers or face punishment. Oliver allowed the battles to continued, but he formalized the tournaments and made it where you have to get a license to be a fighter. Tournaments were hosted by licensed hosts. You were not allowed to perform informal fights anymore. Oliver, then rallied the masses with a speech about taking over Cor and making the Authority pay for casting us onto a planet from our friends and family all because we wanted to be free. Oliver also stated we will make the Authority pay for the poverty, discrimination, depression and tyranny they put us through. He was saying all the things we wanted to hear to get us on board with invading Cor and taking down the Authority. I was on board all the way to us taking over the Authority's hover-crafts, flying to Cor and initiating war with the Authority. We fought well, and I believed Oliver was really for seeking justice for the people of the exile planet, but I later notice he had other intentions. Oliver created the Arch squad, and he wanted me to train them. I did, and the Arch Squad was mainly for filling out his wishes in secret. Oliver gained hold of the Authority's database on the people of Cor and people of the exile planet. I lead the Arch Squad. We gathered people that Oliver wanted. All he wanted them for was to take their powers from them and enhance himself. I eventually became unhappy with what he was doing and he took notice. Oliver began to distrust me. He started to use the Arch Squad behind my back. I did not notice until I saw them bring in Cythia. I asked why were they bringing in Cythia. They replied, "Oliver's orders."
I went with them to see what they were going to do with her. They brought her to Oliver, and he killed her by absorbing all of the electricity from her body. I asked why did he just kill her, and he said, "She was a traitor. She gave up one of our bases' location to the Authority."
I just accepted his answer, but he really got out of hand when he expanded the Arch Squad and enslaved half of Cor's population and half of the people who helped us win victory over the Authority. I was disgusted to see such an order he enacted. I was more so disgraced with myself for being apart of some devious plot to create another tyrannical rule without realizing it. I spoke with some fellow riders. They convinced to me to rebel against Oliver and become leader of Cor. I waited for the right moment to plot a rebellion against Oliver's reign. When he held a ceremony to introduce the two beings who will create a New Generation on Cor. I saw that it was Agalhoff and Diana held captive. Oliver sucked their memories out of their minds and cast it all over the solar system. Some of their memories in the form of energy fell down to Cor, and went into an apple tree. Oliver was aware of that. Oliver demanded everyone to bow. I told my fellow riders to not bow and remain standing. Oliver saw us and demanded us to bow, and we refuse. Some people, including you stood up as well. He ordered everyone else in the kingdom to attack us, including the Arch Squad. We took them all on, but Oliver put an end to our rebellion when he shocked us with a bolt of electricity from a crucifix staff. We fell down to Cor from the sky. We hid underground as you know because you were with us.
You also know what happens next. My consciousness was transferred into a snake by Maephisto. I approached Diana and convinced her to eat from the apple tree that contained her memories and Agalhoff's memories. She convinced Agalhoff to eat from the tree. They both got pieces of their memories back, and Oliver found out. I had my friend who can transfer sounds telepathically, help me send a message to Oliver that we will have an all out massive war for control over Cor. Oliver said it would be a Time Of Devastation if that was to happen. This is how this feud started. I will continue to seek control of Cor, starting with his New Generation. I have already struck a score with Diana and Agalhoff. Now I'm going to speak with Khan.
