Chapter 2- friend or foe
------------------------------------------

Adam started to slow down into a slow jog as the village came into view. It was a rather small village but a beautiful one at that. People were on top of the roofs of their houses setting up strings of wire from house to house.

As Adam started towards the village he started to tense immediately when someone looked over at him. The man that had looked at him and then quickly looked away like he was never their. Adam used to this type of behavior started to walk to a small blacksmithing stall.

As he walked closer an old man hobbled out of the forge with a newly made barrel. The old man carried it to his cart before wiping sweat off of his forehead from the strain of the barrel. The man looked around for a second before spotting Adam.

"There you are kid I was getting worried that you finally fell from the sky." The aging man said playfully.  "Well you know, had to get some form of fun in before tonight." Adam said noticing the teasing tone.

The old mans face fell slightly at the mention of the night. "Ah yes this old tradition. You'd think by now that they'd be celebrating the birth of the true child chosen by the son instead of some brat." The old man said bitterly.

During every summer solstice the village gets together to celebrate the 'child chosen by the sun' who is the new mayors son. The child in general is a snot nosed brat who thinks the world revolves around him.  Adam was the reciprocal of every time the kid didn't get his way.

"I know what you mean john." Adam stated looking at the newly revealed john. In turn the man just sighed and motioned Adam to join him in the blacksmiths shop.

Adam love the blacksmith for many different reasons. The blacksmith actually was kind to Adam as a kid and more acceptable than most that and the fact that he though of Adam'd 'abnormalities' as a gift instead of a curse.

Inside the workshop was a cozy place filled with metal and hot fires to wield the metal together. "Well Adam I think it's time for me to get a little bit of work done before the festival," john stated "by chance would you care to help me?"

Adam nodded his head enthusiastically and quickly walk towards john." Sure sir what do you need help with?!" Adam asked.

John pointed to a work station that has a knife half wielded on a table by a fire. "That right there is a knife for the ages and with your fire it'll be even better." John said smiling.

Adam nodded and walked over to the small work space. "So what do you want me to do exactly?" "Oh I just want you to blow fire on the metal part of the knife."
(Realized that this was taking to long so time skip)

Adam had just finished up working for john and decided to walk around before this night of hell started.

While he was walking around he came across a small shop that sold candy, Adam decided to get some candy before any form of torture started that night.

After he got his candy Adam was walking towards the center of the town where the opening speech was being held.

As he was walking he noticed a small alleyway that would lead straight to the town center. After deciding that this would be the quickest way there Adam started to walk down the ally.

The ally was cold and dark barely any light shining at all. As he kept going deeper into the ally a sudden fist connected with his stomach.

Adam fell to the floor and groaned in pain. Blurry eyed Adam looked up only to be able to place together blurs with a person that was shockingly similar to 'the sun child' also known as Tim and his gang consisting of two other members Bill and Randy.

Tim nodded to randy for him to punch Adams lights out, but before he could a fearsome roar could be heard echoing the ally way and shaking the ground. The three other boys quickly looked around for the source of the sound but all that met them were cold,angry, purple eyes.

Adams vision was beginning to blur up as darkness crept into his vision but before he fainted, small arms no bigger than his rapped around his middle while lifting him up as soft words were spoken
"It's ok I won't hurt you."

Those were the last words Adam heard as he lost consensus.
