It's that time again, another book, another chapter. Who's ready for this story to kick off? I know I am. Let's get started.

12 years later

Zephyr's P.O.V.

"Dad you ready to go yet, you're taking forever." I shouted eager to see what my dad was surprising me with.

"I'm coming Zephyr, calm down its not like the world's going to end." My father who was also the leader of the organization 'Lost Hope' said. "Are you ready to get going son"?

"Of course I am, I've been ready since you told me about it yesterday."

"Well then let's get going."

We started off and I had no idea where my dad was going to take me. All I could do was follow him and hope it was something I liked.

On our walk to where ever we were going I looked around and saw a mirror and decided to look at my reflection. I looked like a normal 15 year old boy. I had short dark brown hair and it parted to the right.

I had hazel colored eyes and a little facial hair going on around my chin. "Man, do I look good."

"Talking to yourself again I see."

"Dad, don't sneak up on me."

"Ha ha ha. You know, you look kind of like me when I was your age."

"Really"?

"Of course, now how about we continue moving so you can see your surprise."

"Sounds good dad." We continued walking and what do you know, my dad brought me to a swordsman class.

I've always wanted to help the organization but I couldn't repair things, I couldn't come up with new inventions, but I could fight, I'd have wooden sword fights with my dad and I have to say that I was pretty good at it.

"I know how much you like to sword fight, so I bought you a sword (picture above) and had the best swordsman here train you, and when you become a master swordsman maybe you can be in charge of the armies."

"Really"?

"I mean it son, you're good, and I want you to fulfill your dreams. I've gotta go to a meeting right now, I'll come back as soon as it's over, I promise."

"Ok dad, I'll stay here in the mean time. When you get back I'll be used to the sword and maybe be better than you."

"One day some day as I always like to say. I'll see you in about an hour."

"Bye dad." And with that he left and I got ready for my first sword fight with one of the best fighters in the club.

"Zephyr, I know you're the leaders son but are you sure you want to do this"? asked the sensei.

"Of course I am. Let's do this." I got into position as the other guy did.

"Fight" signaled the sensei and we started clashing metal against metal. He swung hard but I deflected easily. I pushed him back and started my offensive strike and with my quick movements I was able to pin him down by tripping him and knocking his sword away.

"Winner" sensei said looking shocked that I won so easily. I offered to help the guy up but he swatted my hand away and got up himself. I guess not all people are good sports.

After an hour of getting used to my new sword dad walked through the doors and brought me home. Once I was home my sister ran and clung to my neck.

My sister Hope, named after the organization, was 12 but acted  younger for some reason. She had shoulder length brown hair and had brown eyes with mixed skin. Hope was the best part of being in this family, she made me feel alive.

"Zephyr, how was swordsman ship class"? She asked me.

"You knew"? I replied back.

"Of course I knew, I'm an easedropper remember."

"Oh yeah, you are."

We heard the door open and saw the other side of the family, the pines family. Well, they weren't really family but we were so close we might as well be family.

Dipper, Pacifica, their daughter Elise, and Mabel came over. "Hey Zephyr, what's up." Elise said as she embraced me.

"Zephyr, look at you getting hugs from girls, especially my daughter." that was Dipper.

"Dad stop embarrassing me." Elise shouted.

"What, I didn't even say anything to you. I said something about you to Zephyr now that's another story."

"Dad I said stop."

It was true, I had a thing for Elise, but with everything that has been going on, I don't want to start anything too serious until either A. This war is over or B. When I'm at least 20.

"Hey now, my son may be a flirt but at least he's only going after one girl, I went through a few before finding the right one." That was my dad, it was true, he went through a few before he found out his feelings for mom, I had heard the stories plenty of times. "Where are my manners, you came for family night, I'll go get the food. Hey Hope do you mind picking out a movie for us all to watch"?

"Yes daddy, I will." Hope ran off and knowing my sister she was going to pick her favorite movie, 'The heart of a lion.' I admit the movie was in my top 5s but all in all it was was a good movie.

Moral of the story, a lion dies, his heart is buried by the monkeys, only to be dug up by explorers who then investigate it and determine it's the heart of a famous evangelist. Then the heart is taken to a temple and is worshipped by jungle people. So I don't know why I even like this movie anymore but I do so.

"Hey Zephyr how was training with actual swords today"? Dipper asked me.

"Oh does everybody know about my swordsman ship training except me"? I protested.

"Yes Zephyr everybody else did." My dad said.

Well that explains why everybody knew about the class. After a few hours we watched the movie and started playing 'roles.' Pretty much a card is pulled and everybody votes who fits the role best.

I got strong-willed and determined. Hope got young and childish. Elise got smart and innocent. Dipper got philosopher and brainiac. Pacifica got changed and rich. Mabel got energetic and inventor. My mom, Brianna got kind and thoughtful. Dad on the other hand got strong-willed, mighty, friendly, and caring. Dad always gets the most because he applies more roles than we do.

After saying our goodbyes the Pines family left and headed home. I was getting ready for bed when dad called me.

"What is it dad"?

"Zephyr, I have this feeling that my time is coming close for me to step down as leader, running this place for 17 years is hard work. I'm going to retire in three years giving you enough time to become 18 and become an adult. That's where you will become the new leader of Lost Hope."

"Why me. Why not Dipper, he's your right hand man."

"Dipper does not want to become the leader, he wants to spend his life as a helper instead of a leader. That and when you become the leader, he agrees to be your right hand man."

"Dad, three years is not that long, next thing you know three years go by and I'm in charge of everything. I'll do it, if you make me a promise."

"What is it son"?

"Promise me you'll be there to see me lead. Promise me you'll see me grow up and retire. Promise me you'll be there every step of the way."

"I promise. And even if I'm not physically there, I'll be there in heart. Remember that."

We hugged for a little bit and went off to bed, but a thought kept turning in my mind, 'do I want to become the leader'? I rolled over and sleep eventually found me.

That's the introduction to this story, so far better than the first chapter of Gravity High.  I'm getting better at this, anyway shout out to for giving me the title of the story. I'll see you guys in the next chapter.
