Prologue
I've been in constant pain since I was 6 years old. At 7 I was taken from my home to this camp, this is camp Rune Blade. The camp is in the middle of the ocean.
My name is Jackson, Jackson Brown until about 12 years ago I was a completely normal kid. I played with my friends, I liked soccer, I ate breakfast in front of the TV every morning despite my mother telling me not to, it was all wonderful. Of course I just had to go and hit my head, didn't I? I woke up a day later, pain was flooding from my chest in a continuous stream. No one could help me, the doctors didn't know what was wrong and when they didn't find anything my parents thought I was just seeking attention, that is until I started moaning and whimpering in my sleep. They got worried, really worried, then, on my seventh birthday a woman came and took me from my home. I didn't struggle, I was curled up in a little ball crying my eyes out. She took me to "camp" Rune Blade telling me that they could fix it. In a way they did, you see, Rune Blade is a place for young knights and wizards to stay in their younger years, a safe-haven to learn to control your power.
Recently, however, they've been keeping older and older kids. Now at age 18 I'm still not allowed to leave. They tell me I'm some sort of prodigy, I'm the best wizard they've ever seen or something like that. When I do magic the pain fades so, I end up practicing constantly to gain that small bit of relief. I've taken some sword fighting classes as well I can decapitate someone moderately well, I'm definitely not the best but I'm not the worst either.
To prove yourself and hopefully be allowed to go home, the camp has ceremonies of a sort. They have large demon statues that you must summon and kill, nowadays, even if you succeed, you aren't sent home. I can't even remember my parent's faces anymore, I can't remember much of anything from before I came here.
This story isn't about me though, it's about him, Jamison Duke. You may be thinking, now what's so special about the Duke character?
Many different people would say many different things about him... Jamison is what you could call a walking disaster. He's very clumsy, tripping over anything that could possibly tripped over, dropping anything and everything only to lose balance and fall when he tries to pick it up. He is the most socially awkward extrovert you will ever meet, he is constantly oblivious to tension and starts to stammer once he notices it, he never says the right thing at the right time, and he bursts into giggles at the most inappropriate times. Jamison is also a huge dork. He has seen real magic and still insists that "magic shows" are amazing. He watches television shows about duels and nights when he has his own sword strapped to his belt. (I still don't know who thought that was a good idea)
Jamison was brought to rune blade because he comes from a long line of successful warlocks and knights. Even with all of his mistakes and his little quirks, one good thing came out of his arrival, at age 14 I found something or rather someone who took the pain away.

So, hi there... you've somehow stumbled upon this story. This is based off of a dream I had once which contained Jamison and the temporarily name Jackson. This obviously isn't going to be the best work as it is done by an amateur, high school, writer, but it should be fun. Also if you would, please help me get a new name for "Jackson" at the moment it just doesn't fit right to me, thanks for reading, bye!
