It started small at the age of four when he was able to remember things he saw on TV like the alphabet, numbers, and news forecasts.
When he reached the age of six he started to copy skills from his favorite cartoon characters like walking on walls or using the martial arts style used by the heroes or villains. When that happened his mother monitored his viewing more closely.
When he started reading, he attempted on using magic from the stories and passing out afterwards, his mother started to notice and schooled him on hiding his abilities from the public, when turned eight he started to hear things from other people without hearing them speak.
This led his mother to seek her husband’s mother for advice who led her to take him a specialist in things involving the supernatural in New York to teach him how to control his abilities better and offered him a place to stay until he was 18, but his mother refused the tutor’s offer.
Professor Kitami may have been nice to him but her eyes always betrayed the true nature of sadness in she had them and the fact that she had him translate things for her mostly for a special night called Walpurgis that was supposed to happen this year.
Then he had to leave New York after people from two sets of Corporations were being pushy about their scholarships offers. However unknown to the child, his tutor informed his grandmother who immediately intervened and reminded both parties of a deal they made regarding her heir's making them back off, after reminding them they also had heirs of their own to worry about.
After his lessons where done, he returned to his mother while Professor Reika Kitami returned to Japan but not before giving him some advice at the airport.
“Never let anyone push you around but always pass on what you know and have fun doing it” and gave him a kiss. It was from that kiss he started to see a person’s life clearly for the first time.
He saw into the mind of Professor Kitami during her Days at her academy in Japan through her eyes. He saw how she refused the advances of a female student council member; he saw her love for pets as she always fed a small puppy during her walks to and from class.
He also saw how she was tricked when someone told her where to find the puppy only to find it’s bloody remains as she was raped to the point of insanity by a group of men the student council member hired, he then witnessed her being sacrificed in a dark ritual through her eyes as well as the pain form the sword stabbing her then ...he broke it and looked at her with tears in his eyes as she boarded the plane. She knew he would know her story and wanted someone to know her before she began walking the dark path.
On that day Keith started to wear black and always wore gloves and avoided contact with other people beside family.
Berwick PA. 1988AD (Past) Berwick Elementary School Nurse’s office
(Keith age 12)
That what brings us to this point now, After just enrolled in months ago after tutoring from Reika Kitami he learned to shield himself from others minds with the small exception of teachers he got grades good enough to keep him from being noticed but just enough to keep passing. It was working well so far until an hour ago.
It seems some of the students’ form the basketball team from his classroom noticed a pattern with him. He always got the answers wrong but always got high marks on the test answers. They cornered him in the school yard in the attempted to force him to tell them how he passed his test so well. When he told them he studied they refused to believe him and started to demand the truth, when he didn’t tell them what they wanted to hear they planned to beat it out of him and take it by force…
Only to find themselves pushed away, when they got up they never expected him to know Wing-chun which he had the pleasure of learning from watching a kung fu marathon last Saturday, he was about to show them something he read from a comic book in the library when he picked up a stick and focused his aura into it making a blade of pure blue light and scare them away but he blacked out from pain due to being hit on the head.
When young man woke up later holding a Ice pack on the back of his head, the first thing he noticed was he was being kept in a locked room in the Nurse Office after his involvement in a fight …. Why… because he fought back.
The boys were bigger than him and attempted to hit him first.
But that’s not why he was here.
It was how he did it. He pushed them away using a palm strike and wanted to finish by using a light blade.
"Where’s my son!" Came from the other side of the door. It was his mother he focused his mind to hear what they said from their lips and their minds.
{[i]“Your little freak of nature is in my office, I saw him push those children away without even touching them… like that movie”[/i]} came from the Nurse’s mind but said “Your son is in here Ms. Morgan.” She said pointing to the locked room. When Ms. Morgan went to the door she noticed it was locked “Why is my son locked in here?”
“It was only done for his protection.”{[i]“And mine!”[/i]}
“Well you won’t have to worry about that anymore, I’ve talked to the principal already he’ll no longer be attending this school after today!”
His mother said looking at the Nurse while letting her son hear her thoughts {[i]“Son, I know you can hear my thoughts just stay calm.”}[/i] “Just unlock this door!”
“Y-yes ma’am.” she said nervously while shaking the keys {Hope he can’t do anything else from that kung fu movie and if I didn’t hit him that boy’s energy blade would have killed them!”} When the door was open the young man rushed into his mother’s arms as soon as the Nurse unlocked it.
“Are you alright?” The boy’s mother asked then she saw the back of his head “What’s with the Ice pack?” {[i]“Who Hit you?”[/i]}
“Yeah, just fell on the back of my head” he said as he glared at the Nurse {“She did it”} “I don’t know I just passed out.”
“I see well we won’t have to worry about it you won’t be attending this place after this. Come on we’re going home!” When the woman and her son left the Nurse she went to her desk and pulled out a small bottle of scotch and downed the whole thing as she said “Damn freak!”
Never the wiser about the woman in the bloody French maid's outfit advancing toward her.
--------------------------------------------
During the drive, the boy noticed his mother was being silent as the car was being driven past county limits. “Mommy why aren’t we going home?”
“Normally son when a child fights in school you go home, and expect to be grounded… right?”
The boy nodded as he replied “Yeah…but instead we have to move again before people ask questions again…. right?”
“That right son, I don’t want you getting hurt or hunted by people that don’t understand you.” She said, not taking her eyes off the road.
“But you let me use my powers like that before when you wanted to win the Lot….”
“That was different son we needed the money that time…. Not trying to scare your classmate with energy blades." She raised her voice cutting him off then she calmed down. “I know you were just defending yourself but if you keep doing things like that you might get hurt, killed, or worse.” She said while still driving. “What I’m trying to say is I want you have a good future son and for that you’ll be staying with your father and his mother for a while.”
“Grandma Grace and Father….” The boy said in shock “But why?”
“Because your father and Ms. Grace will be teaching you how to properly act around others and protect yourself without making yourself a target. I can’t do that. While I’m gone promise me that you’ll obey everything they tell you… understand!” She said in a tone knowing she wanted a straight answer while still keeping her eyes on the road.
“Yes Mommy….I promise.” The boy said with reluctance but he knew she was right.
"Now let’s get your things from home later then we’ll something to eat. She said while pulling into a well known fast food franchise."
-------------------------------------------------------
[b]Philadelphia, Mt. Airy Grace Morgan residence[/b]
After having their meal at a place known for their golden arches they drove into Philadelphia’s Mt.Airy area as it stopped in a large country manor and parked at the front door. When the child and his mother got out of the car and stood at the door his mother was about to ring the doorbell until the door opened and a young woman in a French maid’s outfit answered the door bowing as she said “Ms. Morgan, young master, I am Yvette servant of the manor,” She said with a European accent in her voice “The madam expected your arrival, please follow me” She then gestured us inside. When they came into the house they were taken into the study where an ageless older woman was sitting at her desk drinking her tea.
“I wasn’t expecting you to come here so late my dear, if you wanted to feed the young man you could have just come here after picking him up from school instead of that god awful fast food."
“Sorry, not all of us can have privileged lives like you and your son Ms. Morgan” She said with venom in her sweet voice “Now I….” Only to be cut off by the older woman as she said.
"Wait, before we start our chat, Yvette, would you take young Keith here to the kitchen and give him some of those double chocolate cookies you make so well…. And add the cherry pie if he’s up to it.”
“Yes Madam.” She said with a bow and took the young child out the room saying “Now young master follow me your dessert awaits”
When they closed the door the older woman changed completely her hair changed from black hair with one white streak in it to a younger woman with ash white hair as she said “You may remove your glamour Erica this room is immune to your child’s … special gifts and please do sit down, I know for a fact sitting in a car for hours can makes a person feel very cranky.”
When that was said Erica dropped said glamour not showing much difference except her hair and ears where now longer as sat down “So how much do you know about today?”
“I’ll give you a hint, witch of a nurse and those boys families won’t live past the morning light. The gall attacking my bloodkin like that ….inexcusable.”
"They are humans Lady Grace not witches.”
"That where you're wrong. The woman that hit your son was Erica, and for what… defending himself.” she said dryly "But don't worry they are no longer a problem."
"I know but he could have killed them, he read a book from his library."
"So what, humans always hated and feared us because of our intelligence, nobility and grace, blood must be demanded for payment of retribution."
“This is the land beyond the veil, the land of humans, not your home kingdom!”
"I know that’s why they’ll still live, but they won’t know peaceful sleep for quite a while Carmilla will see to that, so what are your plans?"
"To honor the agreement that leaves my son in your care lady Grace."
“Please call me mother Erica. So what will you do?”
“Disappear into a small town in Canada then recreate my identity and go reapply at my paper in New York....."
"No need, you could easily become a freelance journalist and keep your eye out for things of supernatural nature in Japan, I’ll see to your payments for travel and living expenses personally, I just ask that you remember to call your son once in awhile."
“Yes my lady.”
“Now I know this may sound painful what I’m asking but I need you to leave right now, don't bother saying goodbye to your son, just leave.”
“I understand. But one thing no private schools or arranged marriages within the coven.”
“Fine! He’ll even go to Public schools and have a private tutor and the boy can….date those low-bred human girls.”
"Will you let Karl know I was here?"
“Erica, you were the only one out of his wives I liked” She said with a smile “ I mean as your mother-in-law I may be a total bitch but I would never deny my son knowing you were here. So of course I will.”
“Thank you Mother!” she said with a tear in her eye as she left out the study’s backdoor with the whisper of ‘good bye my child.’
“You’re welcome Child”
----------------------
In the Kitchen Yvette was watching the young boy eating another cookie when they both heard a car pull off. She watched as the young boy run out to the main room to the locked door. She watched as he was trying his hardest to open the door then she saw her Mistress approach the door as the young man use his powers on the door and she responded using her own to pull him away from the door and sit him in a chair and gestured Yvette to leave the room.
“Grandma let me go!” The boy struggled to get out of the chair “Mommy’s leaving!”
“Why grandson, you just got here you’re make this old woman feel very unloved plus your father will be home soon”
"But why…. did mommy leave me?"
"Because I told her too…. She couldn’t teach you what I know what you need to learn."
Keith was ignoring her as he tried to use his powers again only to be blocked again by hers as she said “That very cute but won’t work my grandson, I admit your powers as a blue mage are strong but still brutish, mine on the other hand are stronger and have the finesse of a surgeon” she said with a smile “as long as I have your hands bound you can’t use those powers of yours.” She then took out a metal chain from out her coat pocket and placed it around his neck he felt a small sting, when he tried to use his powers to create a skeleton key he felt the pain get worse and fell to the ground crying.
“I’m sorry my grandson. I know it hurts but it for your own good, the chain around your neck won’t kill you but it will keep you from trying something foolish like using you powers on me again…. or escaping.”
When he felt the grip keeping him on the floor disappear, he got up and felt very weak “The chain around your neck an Eldritch steel chain, it keeps your special powers in check. Only I, Yvette or your father can remove it.”
Then she put her hand on his cheek to wipe off his tears as she kissed his face “That will be your first lesson child. Overconfidence doesn’t make a person strong it only creates two things fools, stupid heroes and dead ones. Now you’ll be learning how to use your gifts properly. As of now you will learning to use your magical talents from me, Close quarters combat from Yvette, and how to create mechanical machines from your father. She said with a stern look on her face and finished with the words “Any questions?”
“Why are you so young looking and what’s the white hair?”
{By the White Lady, Damn that woman! Not only for wearing the glamour spell around her own child but for not teaching him about our race!} “My child you just took your first step in learning. Now accompany me into the study so I can properly explain to you about your heritage.”
---------------------------------------
After an hour she told him about how her family’s court migrated here from her world and how he might have only 5% Dark elf blood form her side of the family in his veins he is a member of the strongest houses in her kingdom. “So I’m a no-bell man?”
"No child, the word is nobleman and you’re an Arch-prince an heir of the dark courts of the shadow kingdom.”
“Why are we here instead of there?”
“Because my mother wanted to explore instead of rule over as she said foolish idiots and migrated to alternate realms. Out of all the other worlds she found this world suitable to her taste, in the world we came from we were considered outcast worshippers of dark gods…. here we are only seen as a cash cows for a game that some humans created from myths of the first crossing.”
“So other type’s elves and other mystical creatures really exist?”
“Yes we have truces with some them…you’ll find the High elves quite annoying if not snooty.”
“Dwarves?”
“Yes they help make most of the things here in this world like cars, trains and now video games and computers.”
“Kobolds?”
“Yes they created that thing humans call fast food ….you’ll be eating less of that while living under this roof by the way.”
“Dragons?”
“Sadly yes most of them being females that like to work for corporations, laboratories, or investment firms, New York’s Wall Street area are filed with them.”
“Succubi?”
“You don’t know about your own race but you know the existence of those…. Things! She said knowing some of them work in Law enforcement, Education, and the Adult film industry.”
“My gym teacher said she was one. She also kept telling me to keep in touch with her so when I get older she could give me private lessons whatever that means.” He said scratching his head.
“I see, well don’t worry about school I’ll see to it that you get your lessons here until we find a school for you to attend” Grace made a mental note to seek out the head of the Succubi coven about this whore attempting to corrupt her grandchild “….Do you know that nice teacher’s name?”
"Oh yeah her name was Ms. Angel my gym teacher and what did she mean by private lesions?"
“I’ll tell you when you’re older dear” {“by then she’ll ether be deported back to the dark by then…if not destroyed!”} she thought to herself.
“So you and Dad are Dark Elves from another world” His grandmother nodded in response to his question as the young child though about it and asked “Since you’re an elf….does that mean you know Santa grandma?”
“No …. I admit when I was still a child I went looking for him so I could have a word with him about elven labor rights but that just a human legend in this world.”
“Now you must be tired from today’s events. Yvette will see you to your room. Tomorrow we’ll take you shopping.”
“ Goodnight grandma, if it means anything I think you’re really pretty”
.
Grace giggled at the statement of the obvious “Good night may the bright lady watch over you” When they walked out the room the bookcase opened up and a man in a lab coat walked out the other end.
“Hello mother, my last experiment was a success …So what’s new topside?”
“You just missed your son going to bed” she said pouring two glasses of scotch from her liquor cabinet “He even said I was cute.”
“Well mom you did show him your true form” then the Dark Elf Inventor remembered what his mother said.
“Erica was here?”
"She’s already gone Karl, but it was funny how your son tried to use his powers on me tonight"….on me of all people so I taught him a lesson.”
"So you put the chain on him didn’t you?"
“Sadly yes but when he saw his cute grandma up close he looked like he was more interested in seeing her goodies than attempting to teleport to his mother” She laughs lightly at the thought of her grandson checking her out with evil grin “I can’t wait to take him shopping tomorrow.”
"You’re going to make his life hell aren’t you?" Her son asked already knowing the answer to his own question.
“Not yet, that won’t start till he’s 15, but I might have to cancel my teaching of your ex wives daughters until I can trust them they don’t want alimony from their settlements but they wanted their daughters to know magic.”
"So you’re planning have my son to meet them on his own"
"No I promised your true wife I wouldn’t, besides what I was teaching those girls will probably make them attempt something stupid like global domination someday and I want keithy far away from that kind of logic.” She said as she took another sip of her drink “I might even have to send Carmilla to see their mothers to make sure they don’t make an attempt on the boy’s life…or yours after my decision!”
“Don’t worry about me mother” the young half dark elf said. “I’ll be safe just see to my kid’s protection and pray they aren’t stupid enough to warrant a visit from Carmilla, I saw how she looked at him as a baby.”
"If they are Stupid she won’t have too do much….. The tribunal will deal with them.”
“So you’re going to wipe them from existence huh?”
“Stop worrying about that crap and go see to your son’s Karl”
“Yes mother” When her son left the study she went to the front window to look at the moonlit sky as she said. “Sight of sight show me my grandsons future”With that said she was treated to the sights of the future.
-Her, Keith, and Yvette, standing at the empty graves of her son and her daughter-in-law -Her grandson’s finding friends his own age while she was away and doing questionable things with his powers like fighting for money.
-She also saw the young girls that where his step-sisters force him into the dark baptism of nymphomancy while feeling helpless to save Yvette and his friends, only to summon the powers of tribunal himself costing him his elemental magical knowledge which he will master, She also knows this happens when she leaves the country and won’t be able to interfere.
-She also sees far ahead into the his future, Where Carmilla and an older-looking Keith age 23 from how she saw him living in a large house watching a young green haired girl with red eyes blowing out the candles on her birthday cake but they aren’t alone there are six…. No…. nine women with children of their own with him some had fur, some where machine, but what got her fascinated by the fact of the green haired girl having Carmilla’s features and fangs. She knew it was her maid’s child, but vampires couldn’t give birth so she look else where around this world to find out why things where so strange.
-The world itself had people using homunculi that they used ether as gladiatorial battlers or sexual playthings nothing unusual from what her former world did with some of it monsters but it was the red and white balls that was used as their summons was quite interesting and familiar to her but she brushed it off and wanted to see more of her grandson’s future when she was about to go back to look at her would be grandbabies again she felt someone tap her shoulder.
Before her now stood a jackal headed woman that had a figure that rivaled hers coved in Egyptian markings. Why do you seek to know the future that is not set?
She merely bowed as she said "I apologize for the intrusion. My only intention was to look upon my grandson’s future and since I saw great-grandbabies, I’m happy woman" she said with a smile. “Who might you be may I ask?
"
“I am Anubust, the Legendary Horus Hound Pokégirl” The animal woman said not moving her mouth. "Now who might you be?"
“I am Grace Morgan, priestess of the bright lady and that young man’s grandmother," pointing to her grandson "Please tell me. Are you pokegirls the guardian spirits of this realm I’ve just seen?”
“Some of us are in a way and some can be as ruthless as your gods, and don’t worry about your grandson’s future as long as you teach him to be a good person that future you seen will be set.”
Still happy at what she saw she said “To see my future grandbabies, I’ll see to it personally, until we meet again” and vanished from the legendary’s sight.
The legendary hound could only think of one other person that thought that way as she vanished.
When Grace exited her trance she very happy but something about what she saw made her wonder so she went into her desk and found not only her Game-boy and Pokemon game but an extra cartage.....
It was a sexy looking version of the Yellow Pokemon known as pika-something she would enjoy playing that later and would keep this from her grandson for the time being….or at least until he was eighteen. Right now she had a long training course for her grandson to plan that involved most of his training from Carmilla or should he get know her as Yvette first ….
But that could be done tomorrow after all the night was still young….and so was she.
