Chapter 2

Then next day when the guard leads me outside, there is a weird gray powder on the ground sort of like dirty snow. It looks sort of familiar, but i just can't put my finger on it. Then I have sudden memory of sitting around a campfire with a guy about my age, with the same gray powder beneath the fire. I lean down and touch the powder. It's hot. That's when it hits me. This isn't powder! This is ash. Then I notice that the mountain looks kinda weird. Then a single word springs to my mind. Volcano. "OH NUTS, I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!" I think franticly. I jump up and punch the nearest guard in the wrist, catching him by surprise. He howls in pain and drops his spear. I grab his spear off the ground and start running. The first place I go is to my cell. The door is still open. I grab my gloves and run out, still holding the spear. Than I remember the image of that guy again, except this time it has a name paired with it. Zenon. Suddenly a guard jumps out at me. I whack him in the head with the butt of my spear. He falls to the ground, unconscious. Then another memory runs through me, a black broadsword made of obsidian. I hear another guard not to far away from me and smartly decide to keep running. Then I find myself at a vault like door. I hear footsteps and turn ready to fight, but it's Zenon! "Shadow!" he says. "I sure am glad to see you! There's one thing though." He adds uncertainly. "I don't know if your gonna believe me, but I lost almost all of my memory."
