Number X
Everything he was burned away in that fire. The once grand estate, so full of life, so full of memories, his entire life, had burned down before him. 20xx
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His Uncle Roman was heard outside, he was yelling very loud, and cracking down on Dylan, this was just an ordinary day to him. It wasn't home if you didn't hear an obnoxiously large voice throughout the house. It wasn't all bad, they lived a good life for what they had, Uncle Romans foreign noodle recipes, that tasted amazing; He got to spend time with his brother, playing cards, walking around, or watching him in tournaments. This was the life, he held it dear to him, and he'd be lying if he said his Uncle hadn't rubbed off on him a bit.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?! PLAYING CARDS?"
"Of course Uncle Ray, What else would I be doing, magic?"
"OKAY SMARTY PANTS!! WHY I OUGHTTA!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a beautiful dark night in the city. The sky was lit up with the stars, it was a shame they didn't get to see more of it. Dylan had exited the huge, dome, tournament building.
"Let's go bro"
"Okay"
They took the back alleys to get home. There was a criminally low amount of graffiti. The best part was the bridges that you could cross that lead to the higher level apartments. They would always talk about his brothers performance and his sweet awesome moves. He was the tournament champ! he has been holding that title for about 3 years now. Even so, Uncle Ramon wouldn't let up, the family bond was the magic that was passed down generation to generation. That's why he was so strict about training, it wasn't like he was being rude, it was the opposite - he cared.
"And then you did the attack Pwooosh! That was awesome, Your dragon deck is unstoppable! How could anyone beat you!"
His oldest brother was too humble for his good. "I know one day, Even I'll get beat, that's what keeps me going, You don't need to be the best to be important bro"
"Yeah, I'm not sure I get what you mean, Big words for the smart mouth champ!"
"Come on, it's just for the show!"
A small, hooded figure came around the corner and held up a glowing card. Dylan hid me behind him, he pushed me back. I hit the floor like a brick.
"Get out of here Max!"
He ran around the corner and looked back seeing the shadow of his brother and his opponent. There was another glowing light that was as bright as hope itself. Max could see the flashy effects from around the corner. It was a loud, bright, and powerful fight. You could feel energy irradiating in the air, the passion of two mages colliding together to create both the beauty and chaos of duels. There was two intents, you could feel one of animosity, and one of Brotherly love. There was no way to tell who was winning, the only feeling was that of the two clashing ideals. It was like two sharp razor blades grinding odd each other - until bang! Everything was still but for a moment.
An oversize arrow plunged into Max's brother and he was pinned against a wall. He was dead.
Max ran towards his brother, but it was already too late. That was the end for him. He let the tears stream down his face, he was all he had left.
"No, you can't go"
"Don't give.......up......go....fo....me" he breathed his last breath.
His brother vanished, a bright light appeared, a magic card appeared, it was the spirit of his brother. But he couldn't use magic, why would this appear before him. This was your basic magic deck card. Suddenly the sky got grey, the clouds twirled into each other, they twisted and created an eye of the storm, it started to downpour, it was crying for his brother. A bright light manifested in the eye, there was a card in the middle, it gently descended, Max reached out his hand as it fell into them. He quickly, passionately, and with hope, grabbed the card. He slid it into his deckbox holster on his belt. The box had magically been altered it changed it's form, it was made of black leather, it had silver metal on each corner and on the button. This was the start of his magehood, He would live for his brother, and avenge him.
--------------------------------------------------------------
6 months later....
There he stood in front of the tournament, the place where his brother held his glory, it was up to him to take it back, but more than that, he was going to show the world that you didn't need a monster deck to be a winner. For 6 hard months he had honed his skills, listening to his Uncle's advice, and put his heart into his deck. He was more than ready for his first tournament. It held 3 different tournaments, so there could be 3 winners, who then would go into the next round. Max knew it wouldn't be easy, he could see all his competition, people from all over the country came here to compete in this new style of tournament. He stood in the waiting line to register for the tournament. This was for more than a title, it was for honor among mages!
