《Total Focus Point》 Prolugue #1: Character & Setting Hi all my name is FlameOfTheEast. Im a new author to the site, although since the start of last year I have been reading the novels posted here. I must say that seeing the amount of quality work on this website, has truly inspired me (There are of course exceptions to this but I have found most tend to be well written). Please, Please, Please feel free to leave a review to critisise the story and tell me where I need to improve/fix or if there are any grammatical errors in the story. I currently do not have a set plan of the amount of chapters that will be released each week but it should be 1-2. If I do not do this please forgive me as I might have things going on. Now lets get into the story... Setting: The setting shall be starting out in our Solar system but will expand out to other Solar systems and eventually multiple Galaxies. There will be a multitude of races, think of races in Star Wars as there will races like there are in the films and novels/comics. In these galaxies there is the presence of "Psi". A sort of energy that the races have discovered that they can use to do a multitude of things such as mind reading, teleportation and a whole wide range of other things. For each race their will be things that they can do with Psi specific to only their race, such as mind reading and other things. Psi works much like the force in Star Wars and of course there will be a multitude of factions for those that use Psi. Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Our Mc: As I stated in the start our Mc is slightly sociopathic, he can''t feel emotions as much as some people can. He can still feel things but they are dampened more than the average person. Thats about it for now, please comment any suggestions or ideas. Thanks :) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Chapter One: A Bad Premonition I have never been normal, at any point in my life except maybe when I was a baby. I always felt that I was different to other people in some way. If there was one defining moment in my life when I really knew I was different it would have to be when I was 7. I was playing with my two bestriends, Arnold who is a human and Letero who is a Sek''oyh. The Sek''oyh are a species who are identical to humans in every way except they have evolved to have gills, webbed hands and feet. This is because their home-planet is 90% water. In case you''re wondering we are on Earth, humanities home-world. Anyway going on, it was a thursday afternoon and we were all throwing rocks at one another. What can I say, we were young boys, fighting eachother is fun. Suddenly we all heard a pained screeching sound. We searched and searched and finally found where the sound was coming from. On the muddy ground lay a beautiful, baby Lorikeet. It lay on the ground mangled, both wings broken and deep lacerations on its body. This was the first time I had ever seen something so brutal and horrific as my friends later called it. I felt nothing. No pity, sorrow, anger nor happiness either. I simply did not feel anything. My two friends, Arnold and Letero were both disgusted and horrified and rushed to find help. I stood their confused as to why they both had such strong reactions to it. Bewildered, I walked back to my house in the slums. I live with my mother alone, just the two of us in the slums of Sector 4. In case you''re wondering about sector 4 , in the olden days they used to call it North America. When I returned home I told my mother about the whole ordeal, of course as any mother would she worried profusely about how I was feeling. I tried to tell and explain to her that I was fine and didn''t feel anything about it. Of course she didn''t belive that and thought I was trying underexagerate how it affected me. Later that night at dinner, she sat me down and went through my feelings about the situation. In the end I had to lie as she would not stop pestering me. Don''t get me wrong, I love and treasure my mother but as like most mothers are, they do get annoying sometimes. I went to bed early that night and mother forgot about the whole ideal the next day. Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. This reinforced the idea in my head that I was different and that I did think differently to other people. Of course me and my friends continued to talk about it for many weeks as it was interesting to young boys. The boys interested in how it was now, as while I was speaking with my mum, they had gone out and gotten help from their parents. The boys'' parents took the bird home and they did not see it after that. I on the otherhand was interested in how the bird came to be like that. Oh the many nights I spent laying in bird thinking of different scenarios. Maybe the bird was a Nova Beast that was attacked by another Nova Beast. Nova Beasts are beasts that have come into contact with places with a high concentration of Psi. The Psi has then proceeded to mutate and change them from the original beast that they were. Ahhh Psi, the mythical substance in which the stories talk about. I admit I do not know much about Psi at all as there are few stories that talk about it. From what I have gathered it is a sort of power or energy that the different races in the universe can use. One day, when I get off this god-forsaken planet, I hope to be able to learn more about it but alas I am only 10. Being a kid sure is hard. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª "The ablity to speak does not make you intelligent"
