Nick's Chapter1 The Panic

In the year of 2026 on the planet New Vera in the country of Rujca, there lies a man named Nicholas Schovitz. He is a 17 year old Caucasion male, his hair is untidy and black. His eyes are blue and his attire consists of a black long sleeve shirt, red jeans, black sneakers, and two finger cutted red gauntlets, with a red tathered cape. He's in his rundown wooden house with his family consisying of his father, mother and his 12 year old sister

.

His father's name is David, like his son he has untidy black hair, a thick mustache, and is the age of 38. His mother's name is Barbara, she is 37 with long brown hair. Finally, Nick's little sister's name is Rebecca, she has long black hair, blue eyes, and an angelic face that can pursuade the most hateful person to buy cookies from her. It is 8:15 at night, Nick and his father are eating in the kitchen while the two females are in the living room watching TV.

Nick and David conversing about a basketball game they've seen. Five minutes into it Rebecca and Barbara comes storming into the kitchen.

"David, the news just said that the Italvance army just invaded us!" shouted Barbara.

"What part?" David asked.

"Verding" barbara answered

.

"Verding, that's only two cities away, let's get going!" said David.

[INDENT]They sprint upstairs and immediately pack up nick and his father grabs their invers blades and heads downstairs. Inverse blades are swords that the blade is the handle and what is usually the handle is the weapon, longer than the blade. Nick's and David's inverse swords have an iron handle, shaped in a jagged manner, the handle is blue, long, and spiky.

As soon as they reach the bottom step, they head through the kitchen and out the side door. Outside it is taint and dark.

"We're going to the Verdums' house!" David commanded. They sprint off into the woods for half a mile. Once they got out they headed to a two story old wooden house. David knocks on the backdoor

.

"Who is it?" a male voice asks

.

"It's David!" David replied hastily. the clinking of locks being sounds and the door opens. A balding, brown haired, 38 year old, skinny man stands.

"Charlie we're being invaded by the italvance army said David.

"Really?!" said Charlie in fear.

"Yes, get your family, pack up, and get out of here!" David shouted.

The man scurried off into his living room where his family lies. Nick's family gets inside and locks the door. They enter the living room. Charlie and his family are now upstairs packing. A minute and a half later they come down the stairs with small suitcases. As they head to the backdoor, they hear the front door being pounded on by something heavy. As soon as they closed the door behind them they hear that the door has been knocked down.

"Damn, they're already here! said Charlie

.

"Where are we going?!' Charlie shouted. When he said that the sound of guns blazing came.

"We're going south, we'd be better in Calastan" said David.The two families, run into the woods heading south. For 3 hours they continue to avoid the Italvance army. They stop in a forest to to rest and make camp.

Marvin, Charlies son, has just made a fire, with him, Charlie, Nick, and David sitting around it. Barbara, Rebecca, and Charlie's wife Lisa, are sleeping in tents, but with Lisa on the open bare ground

.

"Nicholas, go around and cast a barrier spell, you can't be too safe" said David.

"Okay" Nick replied. He stands up and walks 3 feet around their camp, raising his hand while releasing a stream of light blue energy. He stops after circling once. Nick sits back down.

"Dad, what are we going to do, once we reach Calston?" he asked.

"We'll get jobs and one we have enough money, we'll take a ship to Arcana' David answered.

"only if the army didn't come so fast we could've ridden in my van" said Charlie.

"Nick, put out the fire, we better get some sleep" said David. Nick then gets up and puts out the fire by throwing dirt on it and stamping it out. They then follow the tree girls by going to sleep.
