Amari Kell [Done]

Wonderfully average. The story of my life. I wasn’t extraordinary. I wasn’t special. I had the normal two parents and was an only child. When I was a kid I had all the dreams of any child. To be...awesome. To be great. The greatest things around were hunters. They were everything I ever wanted to be. Strong. Brave. Amazing. But of course, I was a kid. Those dreams disappeared as soon as they manifested. Then I took up music and became class president of my class, and head of the cooking club. I had a lot of time to work on my skills. My dreams of being a hunter were almost dashed. Almost. After walking home from school I caught a glimpse of a hunter running across the rooftops. It wasn’t something incredibly spectacular but it was enough. Because in that moment, I remembered the greatness of hunters. The reasons why I wanted to become one in the first place. So I decided to go to Syne Academy. But of course, every good hunter has equally good weapons. I spent night and day working on my weapon. My first idea were blades to throw at enemies, but I realized that knives were too small, so I decided to make dual scythes. I still wanted the throwing aspects so I added chains to the scythes and connected them to a pair of golden gauntlets that stored the excess chain in the gauntlets. I worked tirelessly working on these weapons and it was a great thing when they were finally finished, too bad I was too tired to celebrate. But I was there. Above expectations. Syne is supposed to be amazing. So I wanted to be ready. To be as extraordinary as Syne itself.

“Mother,” Amari choked out, “I’m pretty sure I need to be alive if I want to attend Syne!” Amari’s mother let him out of the death chokehold she called a hug, “I’m sorry honey. I just can’t believe my baby is going to be out there all alone in the real world!” Amari’s dad looked up from his newspaper. “It’s not like he’s going to war, Alice. He’ll be fine out there on his own.” Amari’s mom started bawling over her only kid leaving for University. In the midst of all the distraction Amari slowly backed out the door to sneak a ride to Syne. “They won’t notice I left,” He said uncertainly, “Totally.”
