Chapter 1 - Special child

The vast universe was ruled by a single entity called 'god', revered throughout the universe. Anyone who had challenged had all died.

One day, his seer came into his chamber looking a little worried, with sweat dripping from his face as he fell to his knees.

"SPEAK!" He said, in a commanding, spine-chilling voice.

"My lord, A…vision of a child that will be capable of killing you in the future," The seer said, instantly god stood before him. The seer felt the presence and trembled even more.

"WHO!" He asked.

"I don't know, My lord" The seer replied, his voice trembling has he spoke.

"If you knew, at least you may have lived a while longer. You are dying because you think something will be able to kill me" god said, immediately the seer turned into dust.

"Every child born today should die immediately" He said, as he walked back to his throne. Every single child born that day throughout the whole universe died except one.

"He is so beautiful" A woman said, as tears flowed down her eyes the baby who just stared at his mother without crying like a normal child.

"Your father isn't here, but he would be happy to see you, he will be home soon, Ren" She said.

Later that day, His father barged in looking at his wife as he started crying hugging his wife. She looked a bit confused as he held her tight.

"What's come over you!?" She said, as she shrugged him off.

"Didn't our child…die" He said, as he continued crying.

"Huh, What are you talking about he is sound asleep in our room.", She answered, he suddenly jerked back as he heard what his wife had just said.

"How! How! He should be dead" He said, his wife, who was perplexed at what was going on, gave him a slap because of what he said.

"What did you say" She said, she looked furious at her husband who snapped back to normal after the slap?

"I'm sorry, that isn't what I meant, every child who was born today has died. No one knows why, but they have all died throughout the universe, it is causing a major uproar throughout the whole world. Everyone knows it is god that did it, but no one knows why, that is why I said that." He said, the two stared at each other.

"Nobody must know about the day he was born. Who else knows about his birth" He asked.

"Only Eliah since she is the one who helped me to give birth," She said.

"Eliah!" He called out as they both took, they both sat down on the sofa.

"Sir, you called" A beautiful lady who looked to be in her mid-twenties wearing a maid outfit.

"Sit" He said, Eliah looked nervous as she sat down.

"Eliah, I don't want to kill you so for your good nobody must ever know that today October sixth my child was born" He said, with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes.....sir" She muttered, while trembling a little as she excused herself.

Five years later, Oren had been enrolled in a school for the gifted after learning three elements by the age of five.

"Mom, I hate changing schools" Little Oren said, as his mother prepared him from school.

"If you didn't get into fights all the time and if you get in trouble again. I will go and live with Aunt Lucy" His mother said, Oren face twisted in horror.

"But, it isn't my fault they pick the fights but when I beat them am the one they blame, pretty ironic" Oren said.

"When did you learn what ironic means" She asked.

"The books I read I saw it there" Oren replied, with a cute smile.

"That's good, still if you get in trouble I will send you to Lucy" She said, at the exact moment Oren's father entered into the room.

"Let's go Oren" He said, Oren picked up his bag, held his father's hand, and they walked out of the house. They walked slowly and in silence, which made Oren uncomfortable.

"Dad…." Oren said, in a meek voice.

"All I will say is don't cause trouble and don't let anyone know about your three elements," He said, and the awkward silence continued until they reached school. Oren and his father reached the school, headed for the principal's office.

"Mr. Marsh has been waiting, and you must be Oren please sit the two of you" The principal said.

"Oren, I'm your principal, but you can call me Mr. Haven. I heard you can already manipulate two elements, can I see" The principal said, with a glimmer in his eyes.

"Ok" Oren replied nervously raising both his hands, fire coming from one hand and water from his other.

"Unbelievable, Mr. Marsh, since all the paperwork is done, you can go. Gwen!" Mr. Haven called out as Oren's father walked, a woman walked in.

"Take him to Year 2 class 2"He told her, she nodded and told Oren to follow her, and they reached the class.

"Hey kids, this is your new classmate Oren Marsh and be welcoming to him." The teacher said.

"I'm miss Yuma and go have your seat" She said, Oren walked to his seat quietly.

Classes went smoothly for the day until it was lunch break and play time.

"Oren, that's your name right" A kid who looked a little older than Oren with two boys with him

"Yes, what can I do for you" Oren replied, as he took a bite of his food.

"Hey, I'm Peter and I run this class, which means you will listen to whatever I tell you to do" He said.

"Ahem, Can I ask one question" Oren said, after clearing his throat and the kid nodded, showing his approval.

"You look older than everyone in the class, how old are you" Oren asked.

"I'm seven years old" Peter replied.

"You are seven years old in a class of mostly five years old only proves one thing, you are remarkably stupid. Ohhh, I'm sorry you may not understand what remarkably means so in simple terms, you are dumb"Oren said, which infuriated Peter. He punched Oren who fell to the ground and smiled.

"Well, this isn't my fault" Oren said, as he charged towards Peter flames came out his hand, punching Peter also holding his shirt.

"You are not going anywhere"Oren said, at the time Peter's two friends tried to attack Oren. He grabs the first one and throws him against the other, they both went flying. Oren's hand went up in flames and Peter felt a fear he had never felt in his life, the fear of death.

The principal who watched from his office saw the look of fear according to Peter. He broke the windows of his office, which drew Oren's attention. He dropped Peter to the ground, who had pissed his pants.

Oren and the boys were called to the principal's office where the three boys were dismissed.

"Mr. Haven, please don't call my parents. I know you saw everything, and I wasn't going to kill him, just scare him" Oren said.

"Ok, you can go" Mr. Haven said, Oren walked away with an evil smile on his face.

"Scary kid" Haven commented, as Oren walked out.
