Hanson Mills was super speed running in the dense Yerivs forest, it was the largest on this planet Tirond and the most hideous creatures lacked in its shadows, thank God he hadn't seen one so far, he feared running or walking in it, but this time it was different, he had to, or else.....he didn't want to think about it. This whole area was bubby trapped so he had to use his powers to see the traps before they were on him.

Before he could even finish the thought, a sharp, blue shining spear came directed to him from nowhere, it was on a high speed that if he was a mere person or that he hadn't seen it a minute before, he would be dead by now, he used his super speed to dodge and it passed missing him by an inch.

He could feel Rurkinson's ruffling of feet echoing just behind him, he was fast catching up, there wasn't much time to waste. Hanson used his powers to envision far infront of him and what he saw wasn't appetising, there were eight illusional ghosts hiding in the shadows, probably waiting to devour anybody that fell in there trap, 'oh! son of a bitch, this is driving me crazy,' he thought.

He had a fight in front of him yet Rurkinson was filling the gap more quickly than he had anticipated, and in a blink of an eye, Hanson was at the area he had seen the ghosts, he had thought he could super speed pass them but it seemed they were far too fast for that, he stopped abruptly and stood straight, panting, unable to pass as they had surrounded him, a wind carrying leaves and all whatevers following in his wake. This was going to take time yet he never wanted even a single minute to be wasted.

Hanson clenched his fingers into a fist and then let go with such force that a yellow light emanated from it which produced a strong force all around him and all the ghosts went back flying, torn apart into pieces, and without wasting any other minute, he resumed his running. But then something strange happened, he was hit hard by something invisible from his right hand which made him lose balance and then tumbled to the ground, he roled till bumping into a tree that knocked the wind out of him.

He sat there for a minute or two trying to get his bearings, and out of the blue, he saw all the trees swaying one direction and the leaves raising together with them, and a sound as if it's a big bee was passing by, that was Rurkin, ofcouse you can't see him, the speed at which they move is so extreme to see them.

'So the knocking was from him, he has to pay' Hanson smiled at himself, he knelt down from the tree with one knee, then closed his eyes and focused, he then saw that Rurkin was too far to get caught by running, maybe there is another way! 'Seems like someone is going to get crashed' he thought.

Hanson went far ahead of Rurkin with his mind and created a rubber-like innvisible wall, hard enough to knock the air out of Rurkin, he waited, and a second later, the satisfying loud thud filled his ears, and the groaning in pain, this came as Rurkin unknowingly ran into the invisible wall Han had created, he smiled and then resumed.

He had to look far enough to see any traps before it was too late, and as expected, the other route that was

fine was a wastage of time, a rotation, yet the shortcut was filled with thorns........real thorns! He then attached his right hand fingers to the left hand fingers as he continued to run, and a yellow light emanated from in btwn them, he kept on expanding the space between his hands and the light increased too, when it was big enough, he throw it, pushing it using his mental magic and it formed a way wherever it passed.

It errased the thorns in his way and he passed without any problem, but then, Rurkin's footsteps were nearer now, ' Can't he be down for a minute!' Hanson was losing hope, they had been running for over five hours, yet the finishing line wouldn't come, he was already extra tired now, as he thought about it, he used his mind powers to see infront, and hope flooded back to his life, the forest ended and there was a huge amount of empty space, a flat land, filled with grass and flowers till the finishing line, and very many people were waiting for the one to win or lose.

'I can't afford losing' Hanson thought, hethen increased speed, the new hope feeding him power, but right then, Rurkin was there, he looked at Han and smiled, "U are so crafty!" He said. Hanson had to just smile. This was gonna be a long race, cause out there, the space was flat that one could see a thousand miles away, and it was going to become a speeding battle.

This was the first battle Hanson had ever had with his brother Rurkin, though he was younger, he was trying to maintain speed with his elder brother, it was now or never, he increased speed, and he was doing well, so far, he was a mile ahead his brother, he was seeing the red button, the one to press, people were cheering him, he was smiling ear to ear, he was now left with a few steps to win, but something happened.

Hanson slipt on a Small stone that was on the ground and he fell the kind of a fall a plane would have from high above, he hadn't anticipated that, though it had happened.

Before he could get his bearings, his brother passed and pressed the button first, the whole crowd kept quiet at once that Han thought that they wouldn't cheer for him.

But then there rose a loud cheer from the crowd, 'I have been defeated!" Han said silently, shame and despair filling his body, his brother came to him with a concerned face, panting like a dog and gave him a hand, Han took it and got up, "l have to say that you are more talented than l am ," his bro said, "Sure!" Hanson asked, unsure, according to him, he was the worst.

There father came to them and gave them a huge hug, "l am proud of you my children" "Me too?!" Hanson asked, the king looked at him confused, "What do you mean, How old are you?" "Am eight!" "And how old is he" the king asked smiling "U mean Rurkin, he's 20 now," Han replied huh, now he knew what his father was saying, he even smiled a bit at the thought.

The king smiled too "Huh, that looks like my boy, ever smiling!" He hugged them both, "So am l going to be expelled from the kingdom?" Han asked, he couldn't miss a not of desperation in his voice nomatter how he tried to, but the king looked more confused, "What, who said that to my little boy" He said caressing Han's cheeks, "Pliz dad forgive him, he's still young!"

Rurkin said pleading, the king was still looking at both confused, he then seemed to realize, "Oh what! How could I do that to my baby, l was just......just..... joking!" He said avoiding eye contact as if ashamed, Han couldn't stop a sigh of relief, "I think it's time we go back to the Palace!" Their father said,

So they started walking as the crowd threw flowers to them, they were supposed to go in the royal carriage but king decided against it, people patting Han's shoulder showing passion, Han remembered the party awaiting them at the palace, 'This is gonna be a long day!' he thought.

********

Hanson was walking in the fabulous castle, shining with golden walls and marble floors, his brothers had gone out to the city, but he wasn't allowed to go there until he was 10 years old, though he had learnt to live that way, there was a special place he went to whenever his brothers went to the city, he walked fast, feeling raw, almost every joint and muscle in his body hurt due to yesterday's training.

He descended lower in the castle till he reached a stone wall, he opened it and he entered in the darkness, and as soon as did, his eyes shined white, enabling him to see even in the dark, he walked inside, reached the steps and descended lower, he reached an old door and opened it, no one else knew this place, he had also discovered it accidentally.

When he entered, he didn't feel at home as usual, there was something aquad today though he couldn't place a finger on it, he entered anyway and passed in his usual corridal and went to the scholars room, full of books of long ago, the history of Tirond.

That is why he liked this old castle, the new one was built on the old one, he grabbed a book and sat in his usual place to read but before he did, 'he saw his planet Tirond being attacked by the army of purple, they had a purple gas that nuetralised there magic, they killed all the natives of Tirond, including his family, they came to Han's body and started taking it,' the vision stopped.

He sat there confused, where were they taking his body, he knew right away that he had to warn his people. He put down the book and started running up, and as soon as he came out of the stone wall, his heart fell, the vision was already here, he could feel it, they were near, they were coming soon he had to tell father.
