The adventure of James and Kyle

The Adventures of James and Kyle

Have you ever wondered, am I destined to change the world? Will the balance of peace on earth ever lie in my hands? James and Kyle were two of these people. They had many dreams, many thoughts on how things could be better. They possessed no super powers, as many thought they did. They were successful in everything they did, be it football, or pulling impossible pranks on people. Good things always happened to them, and on an even better note, they had two of the most wonderful, beautiful women as partners in life. Little did they know, that in a few short days, their luck would change. In a few short days they would be burdened with both a gift and a curse. The fate of the world would soon be in their hands.

It was one of those days. A long hot summer day, where once the day started, it never seemed to end. Kyle and James were having a party down at Snell Park, a place where they often hung out, usually playing football with a group of friends. Today wasn't much different, except for the fact that when football was over, they were treated to two of the finest steaks they had ever had. Of course the food was always good when their women cooked it. In Kyle's mind, the events from a few days earlier were burning a hole in his head.

A few days earlier, Kyle and James had went to a new jewelry store in town. Being it was closing in on their anniversaries, they wanted to get something nice for the ladies. The store, brightly lit on the outside, even in the summer's bright sunlight, seemed to change as you entered. It looked very dark and dank, much like the mafia could inhabit this spot and make deals about killing Jimmy the Rat. It took what seemed like hours, but they decided on two different necklaces. Though they looked similar, on one necklace, the diamond was in the shape of what seemed like a sword, and on the other, a fist. But being as they were also kind of in the doghouse for ignoring them to go play football, they figured this would help their cause. Being as they found what the wanted, they approached the counter.

The old man was rather ancient. His eyes very dull. Long silver hair flowed from his head and down his back, and his beard was full of gray. He looked as though he had been through all things in life, and was a prophet. He had noticed Kyle and James as they walked in. He was aware of who they were, and what their purpose would be. He just hoped that with doom approaching, there was time for the journey. Time to save the world from what would become of it.

When Kyle and James came to the counter, the old man did scare them at first, with his rather old and gangly appearance. But yet deep inside themselves, they knew what this man would say to them. They felt the burden to be put upon them.

First the old man looked at them, with rather lively eyes, as though this man had just been saved from certain death. As Kyle and James reached for their money, the man kindly told them not to bother, for the necklaces they picked were destined to be around someone’s neck that was close to each one of them.
