The Misticon

art by: IIArtStu

A million years ago a woman named Bekelande gave birth to three children, two boys and a girl. these children grew up to have an unstoppable power called the Misticon. It was later discovered that the Misticon can be both good and evil and these children proved that.

Kamer, the firstborn of Bekelande, has a kingdom called Misticonia. He became king after he built the city. He always used his power for good. He had descendants all over the place due to his love for women.

Kema, the second born of Bekelande, was a knight who fought against the "Demons" of Wysteria, the town they grew up in, he lived as a knight till his last days, although he fell in love with a maiden from Wysteria and they had a daughter named Akelia. She had descendants that spread Kema's blood all over the world.

Krish, the last born of Bekelande, lived a secretive life but was known to have a son and he has descendants.

My name is Martha and I just turned 16, like yesterday and something strange happened when I was picking out my school clothes. My body felt heavy, and I felt as though I was drowning of course I told my mom and that's when I found out the truth about my ancestors, well just lightly. I still don't believe much.

Since you know who I am I must now let you know of my family. I have a mom (Tanya) 179cm tall, she has dark brown hair with golden tips, amber eyes, and a weird sense of fashion, and is married to this other dorky man (my dad). She has a tech business and is very sweet but also mysterious. She let me in on a big secret, about our ancestors.

My life in her words sounds like this fantasy fairy tale, I just couldn't believe it, until this happened to me. My mom had told me, like yesterday, that if I turned 16, I did yesterday, I would earn the "mark", I have no idea what that is but it intrigued me, so I did my research and I found out that my ancestor Krish-Maya was something called a Misticon, sorry she had a Misticon.

I read and that is some magical power and I have to venture to find "The Protector", it's just some guy who has to protect me, I'm not sure from what. He also has to help make sure I use my power for good or he'll kill me, gruesome I know. It also says that most Misticons fall in love with their protectors, I'm not sure that's true.

OK, I think that's enough research. I have to plan my party, mom said that "The Protector" is also going to be there so I have to make sure I look cute. This party is going to be lit for sure, I just have to make sure I keep a good look so that Brady asks me out, ( Braddy is my crush from the 5th grade) I have liked him for 5 years now, and I think he knows. Can't wait to be 16...hope my ancestors know this is the 21st Century and let me have a normal party, not like I believe in the crazy stuff anyway.

The day of my party arrived, it was a nice cool Spring Day, the petals on the trees falling in an ambiance and my family looking so pretty under the delicate sunlight. Brady arrived and he looked dashing, he was wearing a light blue suit that matched his beautiful blue eyes and he had his golden hair flying beautifully in the nice cool Spring breeze. "Brady! I yelled as he came out of his car. He's with someone, some girl, she's beautiful. Her strawberry blond hair was tied up in a messy bun with a light blue hair tie, and she wore a dusty pink dress with a bright pink ribbon around her waist.

Her presence made me feel small, even though it was my party, it made my simple yellow floral dress look so cheap. " Brady, hey how are you, I'm so glad you came." "If you don't mind, I brought my girlfriend Sofia along, I told her my childhood friend invited me." (friend) that word echoed in my head as I felt my world drop. " No, I don't mind the more the merrier, right?" They chuckled as they entered the Garden. It felt like my world just ended, but I had a party to host, and I had to keep strong.

The rest of my guests arrived, and it was time I entered the Garden to start the party, but then a limo-looking car stopped in front of my house and a tall dark-skinned guy , with broad shoulders, exited, he was wearing a navy-blue suit, he had slicked back black hair and held a bouquet of yellow roses, he walked up to me and handed me the bouquet and spoke, " Happy Birthday Martha" his deep yet gentle voice awaked and soothed me at the same time.

I began to walk back to the garden, and he stopped and spoke again, " Can I walk with you, I can't seem to find my way" "Ehh, sure, it's this way." He and I walked in the garden together and that caught the attention of not one but all the guests. " My name is Xander Kratos, nice to finally meet you, Martha." " you too, Xander." after we walked into the Garden I went to speak to my mom and ask her who the hot Rich guy was. Of course, I didn't ask her like that, and she told me that he was the one chosen to be my protector.

I was shocked and also not hating the fact that I might have to marry him someday, but my party was still going on and I had to focus. So, I began socializing and hanging out with my friends. "Who is that smoke show?" that is my friend, Myra Watson, she's a vibrant, loud, and very beautiful young girl. " Martha, who is the smoke show you just walked in with?" I also forgot to mention she is a die-hard for hot dudes. "I don't fully know him, but he said his name is Xander, He might be my future husband," I said jokingly, but I was kind of scared it would be true.

"Martha, where are you!" My mom has been looking all over the party for me, and I know the reason, and I'm not sure I'm ready to meet my Protector. I think I know who it is already and doing all of that today seems a bit much. I'm scared. My life seemed normal only a week ago and now I have all this responsibility, that scares me.
