Story of the Week #2: The Storm Titan

This week's story is The Storm Titan by Samuel WaterCaster. Visit the story blog on the sidebar.

Meteors showered from the sky. Young Samuel WaterCaster, scampered about, trying to dodge the mayhem.

"No!" Samuel yelled. His wand slipped from his hand, and into a crevice in the cracking earth.

"Sam!" someone shouted. It was Sam's best friend! David DragonTamer!

"David! We must get out of here! This place's due to blow in a half hour!" Samuel panted. A meteor hurled through the air, and crashed into the ground, a mere yard away from Sam.

"Ah!" David said, dodging some molten lava spurting up from a nearby hole. Samuel and David lived in Celestia. But it won't be Celestia for long...

"Ugh. Just why did Malistaire want this place captured TODAY. I mean seriously. Risking the lives of all these innocent people. That's just wrong..." Samuel said, hurdling a lava pool.

"I know..." David breathed. He casted a Fire forcefield around Sam, and then himself.

"Thanks!" Sam said, reaching his home. He slammed the door down.

"Let's get your parents! My parents are already in MooShu!" David yelled. Samuel and David barged in.

"MOM! DAD!" Samuel exclaimed. The ground started shaking tremendously. Earthquake!
"Sam!" his mother and father yelled. Samuel ran and threw his arms around them. His father was a Balance wizard, and his mother was a Life wizard.

"We gotta get outta here!" David yelled. He checked his watch. 10 Minutes before the blast! Samuel dragged his parents across the room, and to the door.

"Wait." his mother said. She ran into another room, and came back, dragging a chest of their most precious belongings. His mother then casted an aura around the chest, protecting it from impact, and causing it to float.

"Let's get outta here!" Sam yelled. Sam pulled out his Homunculus sword, and began shielding them. Sparks and lava bounced off the huge blade. David casted Fire force fields on Sam's parents. They all broke out running, as a tower was about to collapse in front of them.

"Go go go!" Sam yelled at the top of his lungs. Samuel, his parents, and David lunged forward, and just as the tower was about to hit the ground, they slid across the soot stained street, JUST dodging the tower.

"That was very close." said Samuel's father. They ran a corner, and were approaching the Spiral Door. It was blocked by rubble. Samuel raised his sword.

"GO TRITON!!" Samuel yelled. A large pool of water with tall weeds came up. A huge Triton jumped down into the water, and raised his trident. He then took Storm electricity, and heaved it at the debris. It shattered to pieces.

"G'job Smasher!" Samuel said, nodding at his Triton. They sprinted into the Spiral Chamber, and Samuel took his keys out.

"MooShu! That's where my parents are!" David screamed. 10 Seconds before the blast!
Samuel quickly inserted the key, and turned it. Just as they jumped in, Celestia blew to pieces.
~(this will always mean next part, chapter, etc.)
Samuel and his friends appeared in MooShu.

"Whew..." Samuel said, exhaustedly. He looked around...

"My parents live in the Kishibe Village." David said.

"I don't have a map... It burned along with our house..." Sam said.

"Great..." David said. He checked his map. It was stained with burn marks. A girl about Sam's age looked at them. She was a Death wizard. She strode toward them. Her eyes sparkled. Sam was awestruck.

"You guys need help with anything?" she asked, staring at Sam and smiling.

"Yeah I guess we do..." Sam's dad replied.

"We're from Celestia. Did you hear about the blast?" Sam said, the words practically flying out of his mouth.

"Yeah I did..." she said.

"What's your name?" Sam's mom asked politely.

"Samantha." she replied.

"Nice to meet you." Sam replied.

"Do you know where Kishibe Village is?" David asked.

"Yes I do," Samantha replied. "Follow me." They all followed Samantha. Sam walked at Samantha's side. They all fast-walked into Shoshun Village.

"Here's where the entrance is." Samantha said, pointing to a road.

"Ok, let's go." Sam said. They ran down the street and turned. The street was covered with flesh eating spiders!

"Dodge the spiders, pretend they're not there..." Sam's mom said. They approached a large house, neatly kept, and clean.

"Nice place..." Sam said, gazing. David strode up to the door and knocked. His mom opened the door.

"Hi David! Hi Sam!" she exclaimed.

"Hey." Sam replied politely.

"Hi there, Mrs. DragonTamer." Samantha said.

"Hi. Please come in," Mrs. DragonTamer said, turning to Sam, "I have a gift for you."

"Well, ok!" Sam said. They all stepped in the house and Sam's dad closed the door. David ran down the hall to his room, and returned with a heavy gold trident. Sam's jaw dropped.

"Yup, the same one's Tritons use." David said, handing it to Sam. Sam's eyes widened as he examined the intricate carvings and sleek design.

"Wow, thank you!" Sam exclaimed. David's dad walked up to him and looked him straight in the eye.

"The reason you have this," his dad explained, "Is because, you are The Storm Titan."

"Really!?" Sam exclaimed. His mouth gaped at what he just said.

"Really." his dad replied.

"Grats Sam." Samantha said, smiling. Sam could not even think about what just happened this day. He was way too excited. Sam wondered what the Storm Titan's job was, a million ideas swirled in his head. With all that thinking, Sam passed out.

Later, I'll fix it a bit more.

Happy Wizarding!
