CHAPTER 1

In a small town in the state of Wisconsin, there lives a boy by the name of Johan. As he was leaving school one day carrying his father’s Holy Bible in his arms, he thought back of how his life had changed. When he was only four years old, his parents were shot in a middle of a bank robbery. He has had lived with his grandparents for almost at least four years, however on his 8th birthday his grandpa had died of cancer, followed by four months later his grandmother suffered a stroke resulting him to live in a foster home. He’s been living in the foster home for almost 8 years. He’s been consistently bullied at school by Brutus the jock at times. But despite the problems, he still leans to Jesus, the God of his fathers. (Php.4:13)

Today on his way back to the foster home from school, Johan was ambushed by no other than the big man of campus himself. Well lookie here boys, if it ain’t the lone freshman coming out to play with us. Sneered the blond brute with a grin. His buds snickered and chuckled at this scene before them, watching as Brutus moved closer to him.

Exasperated the teen replied, What is it now Brutus? Somehow knowing where this was going for, being the most likely target. Getting to the point Brutus simply grabs him by the collar of his shirt, and pulled him close to his face growling, I don’t tolerate wise guys who ditch me without knowing! he exclaimed, As well as those who ratted me out! The brute was about to deliver a painful punch right to the face and would’ve made contact, if it weren’t for the interference of a feminine voice calling out. Put him down Brutus or I’ll report this to my dad and he’ll think of a suitable punishment for ya.

They turned to see a girl about Johan’s age, red flowing hair going down her back, emerald eyes glaring at the thugs. Her name is Felicia, who hates it when there are jerks and bullies around the neighborhood causing so much problems. The boys know who that voice belong to, but Brutus just smiled and dropped Johan to the ground. He simply says, Aw, we were just having some fun here darling, nothing too serious. Right boys? They all agreed, nodding their heads. The girl just simply rolled her eyes.

She was checking on her friend while completely ignoring the jock getting familiar with her, and helped Johan up. She turned her head to them and told’em. You better be going or I will call for the principal.

Not wanting to argue they walked away from them, but Brutus warned him, We ain’t done yet loser. We’ll catch up with you next time. They disappeared around the corner as the two teens just watched them leave

CHAPTER 2

Felicia looked Johan up and asked him, Are you ok Johan? Her voice spoke with much concerned. He smiled while trying to fight a blush appearing in his cheeks, I’m good Felicia thanks for asking though, nice work on threatening them of telling your dad. Felicia’s dad is known as the town’s local sheriff who has been keeping everything and everyone out of trouble.

The two teens then started to gather Johan’s things and walked down towards the malt shop and took their orders. As they’re waiting for their drinks, Felicia stated, How you were able to talk to them without being tongue tied like that, I will never know.

With a hint of awe and disbelief in her voice, Johan just answered, Oh I was Felicia, believe me, but as Paul was bold to write to the people, so will I with God’s help.(Exo.15:2)

The two had met each other when they were both five years old. Johan and his grandparents attended at the same church that Felicia and her dad went. He had bumped into her when the Pastor asked the congregation to greet one another before service started. Since then they have been the best of friends, having great adventures together.

After having their drinks, Johan took his leave, heading back to the foster home. While on the way, he notice a stranger wearing strange clothing that was walking beside him. He’s a man around his forties wearing a hooded cloak. He approached the boy and spoke in a mellow voice asking, Excuse me young man, but might I acquire of where to find a place to rest?

Johan was puzzled by his looks and replied to him, There aren’t any hotels around for miles sir, but I could ask the foster parent if she could give you the spare room to sleep for the night. The man was grateful for the offer and followed him along the way.

Now the foster home is a big house filled with kids, younger than Johan, who were either orphans or abandoned. They looked up to the teen as their den brother. The foster parent is a kind widow in her late thirties called Mrs. Maria Hudson. She made it her duty that the children are looked after and receive good homes and families. She sees Johan as a son she had always wanted and hoped that he is in good health.

She saw him coming home and notices a man with him coming up to the front door. He removed his hood, offering a friendly smile to her. Johan explained, Mrs. Hudson I met this man today who was looking for a place to rest. I couldn’t let him stay out in the streets. Can’t we let him sleep in the spare room until tomorrow please? She just wearily smiled and nodded her head as they entered the house.(Matt.25:38)

CHAPTER 3

Mrs. Hudson escorted the man upstairs to the room and said, We will be having dinner ready in about five minutes, would you care to join us Mr…?

Emeth, ma’am, and yes I’d be delighted to. The stranger answered her question, making himself comfortable in the room. Mrs. Hudson then went to the kitchen and spoke to the aid, named Jacques, to prepare dinner for the whole foster house.

The table was set for everyone present and got to their seats as the foster parent give thanks to the Lord for the meal. The children started digging in when a small boy by the name of Wyatt asked, What time are we going to town again Mrs. Hudson? She answered to him in about the end of the week, She explained that tomorrow will be Johan’s 16th birthday and they will be going out to town on Saturday in the morning to celebrate.

Johan then started to ask Emeth, What brings you into town Mr. Emeth?

He answered, I am merely on a pilgrimage, a special mission that I will tell you of when the time is right young man. A little girl asked him, What kind of mission is it sir, for what exactly?

Now Sally calm down, I’m sure Mr. Emeth will tell all of you when he can. replied Mrs. Hudson in a motherly tone. Emeth just chuckled indicating that it’s alright as it is natural for a young child to want to know so much.(Mark.10:13-16)

Everyone went to their rooms getting ready for bed as the man knocked on the door that leads to Johan’s room. He entered and talked to him saying, Johan, I wondered if it would be alright if you would show me the whole town after school? I’ve already talked to your guardian and she said it was a good idea.

Johan answered him that he’d more then happy to do so. Emeth left him alone, as he was reading a chapter from his Bible and praying to God in thanksgiving and for strength to do good in the future.

They all were unaware however, that outside the foster home stood a dark figure in a black robe spying on Johan from the trees in a distance. He was making a plan, whether to acquire his target or to destroy it. He first have to dispose of the knight in order not have his mission jeopardized, when he gets the chance to strike. He needed to keep him from teaching the boy of the ways of the Knights of the Realm and from destroying the Draco.(1st. Pet.5:8)

CHAPTER 4

The next morning Johan woke up from bed and headed to the restroom to washed up for breakfast. As he walked out, he suddenly felt a hard shove, and everything around him disappeared in a blink of an eye. He saw the hallway zoom out and
