Chapter 1
"Sigmund wake up! It's your first day with your squad and already you're late!" a woman's voice could be heard from upstairs to his bedroom. Sigmund still laid sound asleep in his bed. All he really heard was a feint voice. He was too busy dreaming.
Sigmund's dream:
He wielded a bone sword, waving it around at bandits in front of his home. They had smug faces and his parents could be seen in the background, frightened. The first thug charged him with a blade of his own. Sigmund took a defensive position and blocked the attack and then swiftly countered just as quickly. He managed to not only slice the thug's arm off, but also managed to slice the other two bandits' arms as well. His parents looked at him with horror. They thought of him as a monster, but Sigmund felt good. He felt power...He felt...hungry?
Sigmund had quickly woken up. His breathing was heavy, but lighten in seconds. That was the second time I've had thoughts about power...but why? he asked himself. His thoughts were interrupted when his bedroom door slammed wide open.
"Sigmund! Your mother has been yelling at you for 30 minutes now! Get up and get ready! You're suppose to be meeting your sensei today!" his father scolded him for sleeping in.
A groggy Sigmund leaned all the way up, his hair a mess and his eyes only half-way open. His father just looked at him and shook his head before he closed the door to Sigmund's room .
He blinked a few times before swinging his legs over his bed. His feet touched the floor and he closed his eyes, letting the rest of his grogginess wash away. He rose to his feet and quickly striped his night clothes and dressed in his usual outfit: black tank top with a white button up and a black coat right over followed by his pants and ninja shoes. He combed his hair which fell a little over his forehead.
He gave himself a quick prayer of luck as he headed downstairs and quickly ate breakfast. His father had already taken off to his usual farming job. His mother always stayed home and sometimes conversed with friends later that day. He gave his mother a quick kiss on the forehead and he was out the door with a pouch in hand. He tied the pouch to his back on his waist and quickly like a ninja, headed to the said meeting their sensei has sent out earlier that week.
He came to the academy training grounds. Once he arrived, he finally took his time walking in and finding the actual grounds. From the distance, he could see a girl about his age 'dancing' around, or at least that's what it looked like to him.
He didn't right away walk up to her. He kind of just made his way her way, his hands in his pocket and head down, his bangs falling over his eyes.
