Authors note: This is one of my first creative writing pieces I have done all year. If you see anything I should improve on let me know. I hope you like it. 

Joey was an ordinary kid, he went to school, he played baseball, and he was on his schools cross country team. Completely normal. or so he thought. One day on his way from school he saw smoke coming from one of the houses on his street. He ran up to the door and rung the doorbell. No one answers. He rings it again still nothing. He opens the door and it was unlocked he runs in trying to find the source of the smoke. It was coming from the basement, that's when he noticed something, the floor wasn't hot or even warm. Joey then slowly opened the door and quietly walked down the stairs. There was three men standing around something Joey couldn't identify but it looked like a cauldron of some sort.
     "That's where the smoke was coming from" Joey thought.
     "Alright I think he's gone, now that the wizard was foolish enough to let us out because as you can see he is nothing but a pile of ash now" the unknown man said. Joey craned he neck to see what he was talking about, a little to far. He stumbled and his water bottle fell out of his back pack. It rolled down the stairs and burst open as it hit the wall at the bottom of the stairs. The three men turned around and one of them yelled "get him!" but that's when something odd happened , the water seemed to give the wizard power and from the ash came a man with black hair that went down to his shoulders, bright blue eyes and a white cloak. The three men quickly turned into smoke and disappeared  Joey was about to run but the wizard grabbed his arm.
"Joey Finstine you cannot leave let you must learn what has happened." The wizard said
"O-okay" Joey stuttered
The wizard told Joey a story of magic and mythical monsters like dragons and others, but most importantly he told Joey of a boy that could save the world from the evilest beings in the world, The Creators. Joey learned that there were six Creators, each a Master of an element: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Light, and darkness. The Earth Creator is named Stone. The Fire Creator is named Blaze. The Wind Creator is named Gust. The Water Creator is named Aqua. The Light Creator is named Sun. The Darkness Creator is named Black. Joey sat there in complete disbelief. He never thought that magic was real.
Finally Joey spoke "Who is the boy that will save the world?"
The Wizard stared at him for a moment and then said "You"
Joey sat there motionless for a moment and then, he fainted.
