         INTRO
     Lamei, the Atlantean king drummed his fingers anxiously on the table he was sitting at hoping the dwarves were done presenting their problem which at the time Lamei cared nothing about. This was true because just a few seconds ago, he had heard a voice in his head saying” It’s time, it’s coming.”.
     The dwarf standing at the table stubbornly sat down and said angrily ”I guess our business is over here.”. This was not a particularly mean dwarf, it was just a typical dwarf. Nevertheless, they were one of Atlantis’s greatest allies along with the Elves, who were not in Atlantis at the moment.
     Almost immediately after the dwarf sat down, Lamei sat up, and politely walked out of the castle. As he walked out he said”Thank you kind dwarf.”. And started running toward his palace, stopping slightly to admire the statue of Poseidon, Lamei’s father, and the former king of Atlantis. After his admiration he started running once again toward his palace, this time without delay.
     Once in the palace, he ran to Icthomei’s chamber (Icthomei is Lameis wife and queen of Atlantis). 5 minutes later Lamei said ”A king is born.” “We will name him Namel.”. Icthomei and Lamei sat there for hours, just admiring Namel, occasionally talking to him, saying their last goodbyes. They both knew what had to be done. They knew they would see him again in exactly 18 years, but knowing that did not make it any easier. The king and queen sat there, beginning the ritual, finishing it, and boarding one of the 400 Atlantean capitol ships to evacuate earth of all races in fear of being found by the humans.
     On this day, one king or queen was born from every race that was evacuating earth, evil, and good races, and every royal family did the same ritual on their newly born child. Every royal family would see their children in 18 years. These children would be called The Chosen, and The Cursed. Lamei explained one more time to his wife what would happen. “Our children will be born by human mothers, they will seem human, they will be human. All of their memories will be locked inside them until the time comes. The time to take earth back from humans, that is what we plan to do with the Chosen. The Chosen will be the leaders of the races united together by the Light.” Lamei explained to his wife.
     “The Cursed, will be the leaders of the races united by the shadow, the ones who want to destroy humanity, and take the earth for themselves. We will first be kind with the humans, asking them to side with us, and allowing to still habitate this earth. If they refuse, we will be forced to fight against them, which we will be pained to do. The Cursed, and all who unite under The Shadow will at first side with the humans who want to fight us. If they defeat us, they will annihilate all humans who are left and take this world for themselves”.
     “This will be called The First War.”explained Lamei with a grim look on his face. “That is when we will fight.”.
     At the exact moment the ritual was completed on December 21st, 1994, Alex was born in America.

                                   CHAPTER ONE
-Atlantean capitol ship, December 20th 2012

     “So, is it time to bring Namel to the capitol ship, and introduce him and explain the him what’s happening?” said Icthomei. “No.” said Lamei “We will need to wait a few more minutes for Mobaine to bring him to the retreivement area”.
-Sedro Woolley, W.A, Memorial park, December 20th 2012, 11:59 PM
     “John, JOHN , Where are you taking me? ” Alex exclaimed to John as he sprinted to keep up with him. “Something’s about to happen, we have to get to Memorial Park right now, so keep up, we’re almost there”. As John and Alex approached Memorial Park, Alex stopped as if an invisible wall got put up in front of him, and stared dumbfounded. John grabbed Alex’s arm and pulled him into the Atlantean capitol ship, which took up the entire park. “I’ll explain later, just follow me to your parents.”.
     As John pulled Alex along, Alex just stared, still dumbfounded. Once they got into Lamei and Icthomei’s chambers, and got told that John was his Atlantean bodyguard(and his fathers best friend). and his parents told him a brief explanation about who he, the other Chosen, and the other Cursed are, he slowly began to remember his ever so brief childhood. Icthomei walked up to Alex and hugged him ever so long, and then said “Welcome home Namel I’m so glad to see you. Do you remember who I am?”. And Alex could remember who his parents were, and he even knew his name, although it was only said once.
     Namel then began to tell his parents “I knew that there was something different about me. I was also somehow able to connect to people minds and read their thoughts, although not purposely.”. “My only friends, who thought, saw, and thought the same things as me all moved away, except for Joh-..., well, Mobaine I should say.” Namel explained. “Are they chosen too?” Namel asked. “Yes” said Lamei, as he butted into the conversation. “The two of your friends(not including Mobaine here) were indeed Chosen.”.
     “They are doing exactly what you are doing right now, except on their races capitol ships(mind the Dwarves who are in the core of the earth).” Lamei said. “Mark, the friend that Mobaine here said you were closest to is the Elven Chosen who’s elven name is Velwrith. Naturally, you would be closest to him. This is true because when the angels first ascended to earth, they split into water beings, who exist best in water, but just as good on land, and earth beings, who exist mostly on surface, although could exist underwater.” said Lamei.
     “The elves excelled in being a balanced race, learning combinations of sword and some magical arts, mostly powers of the Light and nature.” Lamei explained. “They are the most balanced fighters. Atlanteans, who were ascended angels who chose water over land, excel in agility over balanced swordsmanship. We also excel in all schools of magic consisting of water and light, which mostly has to do with mental abilities, and using water to do our bidding.” Lamei said. “The original ascended angels who decided to become water based were failing underwater, and got help from a giant sea serpent, who was kind and gentle. Thus, Atlanteans were born. Atlantis is said the be where the original ascended angels became Atlanteans. How exactly they became Atlanteans, no
one knows exactly”. Lamei explained
     “As you may be able to tell.” Lamei said, “All of races, good and evil, had to abandon earth in fear of being found until the time comes, which will be in one year. You, Namel, and the rest of The Chosen, will lead the armies of the races united together by the Light. You will ask the humans to join you, and they will live their life amongst society, like anyone else. The humans who refuse and attempt to fight against us, we will be forced to fight against them. This will be inevitable.” Lamei said
     Namel just stood there dumbfounded, open mouth, just trying to soak up the information Lamei was giving him. Namel could hardly speak when he found out he very well may be fighting against his human family, and everyone he’s ever known. “Oh, and just to let you know, your friend Richard is a dwarf, a race who excels in raw power. His Dwarven name is Allok .” Lamei said.
     It seemed like there was silence for hours in Namel’s point of view, then finally Lamei said something. “The Cursed, and all races united by The Shadow intend to stop us.”. Lamei paused, swallowed, and said his next sentence with great difficulty. “The Cursed are just as powerful as you, they are you counterparts, your equals. But,” Lamei smiled smugly and almost childishly, but still politely “They are not a team, they will all be trying to get the upper hand with each other, when you will be working as a team, which is when you are most strongest, that is your greatest advantage.” Lamei said
      In light of this new information, Namel also smiled, half of the reason was probably because he was picking up the optimism and youthfulness that was a well known(and liked) Atlantean trait. “So,” said Namel, “what races are our counterparts? Surely not Atlanteans and Elves and Dwarves.” Namel said curiously.
     “No,” Lamei said, “your counterpart will be a Dragonkin Cursed of whom which we do not know the name of. A dragonkin is a race we know little about. All we know is that they are born of land and air, and appear Elven and Atlantean like, but they posses dragon traits, they draw their power from The Shadow and wind based schools of magic. The Elven counterpart chosen would be a dark elve, they have the same features as elves, except for their dark as night skin, they draw their powers from The Shadow, and a different kind of nature.” Lamei explained, feeling slightly sorry (although he did not show it) that he didn’t give annyone else a chance to talk and then he smiled sheepishly

             CHAPTER 2

     After a long silence, Icthomei finally rose up out of her chair and said “Namel, come with me, there is something you must do.”. It’s time for the Divine Transformation my son. The Divine Transformation will unlock all of your memories, having to do with Atlantean matters, and knowledge of the races united by The Light.....” Icthomei paused for a moment, and then said “...And The Shadow.” Icthomei paused once again. “It will also change you into your Atlantean form and let you have all of your powers, powers more powerful than mine, more powerful than any Atlantean. Seeing as you are a Chosen.
     Icthomei led Namel through a long corridor and all Namel could do was stare in awe. There was a very peculiar light source that he’d noticed during the few hours he was on the ship. They looked like shards of diamond that were giving off an eerie soft blue glow. What amazed him the most was that they seemed to be floating in mid air. Namel reached
out to touch on of the shards and right before he wold get his hand on it Icthomei said “If you wondering about those, they are enchanted bits of ice made by your father. They will never melt, and there is light trapped inside a little place inside. Quite simple really, as soon as the divine transformation in over you could do it as simply as snapping your fingers.” Icthomei said smiling slightly
     A few seconds later they came up to a giant purple/pinkish transparent door. “This room was made specifically for you and you only, now go in now, you will be put into a suspended animation for about a day. During that time, the divine transformation will take place.” Icthomei explained as she gestured Namel into the chamber. Right as he was about to go in, Icthomei said, “We will meet again in 1 day. Now go, go in and close the door.
     As Namel closed the door, wondering what was going to happen and at the same time couldn’t wait for it to happen. Then, a flash of light happened, the flash was a color that Namel just couldn’t put his finger on, and then everything went white. For a brief moment he had no idea who he was, and felt a drastic change. He knew he was losing consciousness fast, and then right before he could finish his last thought, he faded from reality.
     From what only seemed like a few seconds to him, Lamei opened the door to the chamber, and then he just gasped. Namel looked in the mirror and he also gasped. He was speechless. As he examined himself in the mirror more he noticed his hair was short, black, and very curly, just like Mobaine and Lamei’s hair. Namel also noticed that we was noticeably taller than his human body. His muscles were a lot more toned, and his facial features were also a lot sharper, and somehow softer and friendlier at the same time.
     Namel also felt a lot more powerful in ways that he himself could not explain. Then Lamei found the words to speak, he said “You look just like your mother, and like a true Atlantean. But.... your eyes are gold, a trait not found among Atlanteans, other than your brothe........” Lamei then got cut off by Namel when he said “I have a brother? Where is he, who is he? ” Namel asked
     “Normally we don’t speak of your brother often, it’s a very sad story, but, you have to know” Lamei said “One day while your brother, who was 8 at the time, was walking outside of the elven palace, because we were visiting there. An old lady asked him to help her with something, so as natural instinct, he followed to help her. The lady turned out to be a dying dragonkin lady trying to kill once more before she died for her own self pleasure, and that’s what she did.” Lamei explained
     This old Dragonkin (bloodmage would be the word for what she does) also took control of Velwrith’s father’s (the former Elven king) best friend and had him kill Velwrith, and then the old bloodmage made Velwrith’s fathers friend kill himself. Although the races united by The Light are pacifists unless it is truly necessary, the Atlanteans and Elves hunted her down. I, challenged her to a duel, and won. Although she didn’t die. The dragonkin said “Fools, if I die, my soon to be son will just become more powerful”. And then she killed herself, smirking at us and laughing when she did it. Her son, just so happens to be the dragonkin Cursed. Your counterpart.” said Lamei grimly.
     “Well, you best get some rest” said Lamei replacing his tone with a happy tone. “You have a big day ahead of you. Tomorrow you reunite with your friends at the Elven academy. Every one who follows The Light is to go to the Elven academy for 4 years. You and your friends are not the exception.” Lamei said smiling slightly “Oh, and if you’re wondering, the Elven academy is on the Elven academy ship, its about 3 miles long and 3 miles wide. Its not at all cramped either.
      CHAPTER 3

     Namel followed Lamei down and long corridor and then Lamei showed Namel a colossal door with one lone, beautiful symbol on it. Then Lamei said “ The symbol means Namel in Atlantean.”. “ I-i-i-it’s beautiful ” said Namel awed. Lamei opened the door and gestured Namel into the room. Namel was even more awed, and then turned around to ask Lamei if this room was really his, but he was nowhere to be found. As Namel walked into the room, he didn’t think he could believe his eyes.
     As Namel walked over to the Wardrobe that caught his eye in the first place, he was even more amazed about seeing it up close. At the very top of it, there was a sea serpents head. The further down he went, the sea serpents body extended and curled all the way to the bottom of the wardrobe. Namel opened the wardrobe, and the only words he could think of was “Oh my God”. Inside there were 4 pieces of light black and white armor that appeared to be made out of some sort of stone, and cloth. The very same sea serpent that was on the wardrobe was on this armor, but this time it was a metallic white, starting at the breastplate and curling all the way around the armor, coming back to the front and ending at the left boot.
