The Journal a Raven Fan Fic by Gerald McNally - HTML preview

Chapter 1:

My story begins about 20 earth years ago. When I was a young Gooran-Show at this point my family, I had 6 sisters and 3 other brothers and I was the youngest but in our race the youngest becomes king rather than the eldest unlike the way the humans do it, was still alive and my name is Prince Gerald James of the Gooran on the planet of Circe. The journey to find a new planet started on the date of September 11 1995, Earth time. It was just an average day so I had no idea that anything bad was about to happen on this day. But, for some reason I had a bad feeling about the day but since I had no idea why I was feeling this way I went about my day like it was just another day.  So after I finished my daily lessons in magic and in science and also in ruling a government. I had decided to go fishing like I normally do after my daily lessons. The pond I  go to was a nice clean green color and it was called the Mage pond. This pond also resided on the front lawn of the of my family palace. That was made completely of gold and had all sorts of diamonds and other jewels inset into the walls and surrounded the windows and looks sort of like Earth’s Taj Mahal except more shiney and with also a futuristic look because of the laser turrets that sat on the top of the roof and also with the robot guards blocking each door. The robots were made of pure silver with rubies for the photoreceptors. and with laser swords held in their hands. I am a water Mage and that means I am next in line for the throne and I can control the water at will.I am not the only Mage I am one of five other Mages. And they are Fire, Wind, Storm and Earth Mages. There can only ever be one of each Mage at any given time but they each may take on one apprentice to train to become the next one for there power but in times of need the king can just appoint a new Mage except for the Water Mage that one goes to the king's heir. All of the Gooran can perform magic but only the King and each of the Mages can control the elements. the Mages are also dukes of the small little areas of planet that the king cannot take the time to run. Then all of a sudden  I hear screaming coming from the palace so I start running towards the palace after I made a sword made completely of water that was as strong as tempered steel. But when I arrived at the palace I realized that my water sword would not do any good to help me to fight because the palace was on fire. So I ran back to the pond and then summoned a huge orb of water to follow me to the palace to put the fire out. After a few hours of doing this to put the fire completely out I finally was able to enter the palace only to find the charred corpses of my dead family so once I confirmed there was no one left alive. I hesitantly went into the throne room to find the family crest had been destroyed.So I finally went into the hidden dungeon that only the royal family had the password to. And as I went down the steps to the dungeon I found a few fires still raging so I put them out on my way down. And once I got there I whispered the password to enter and this was the only part of the palace that was untouched because of the fact of the spells and the wards that had been placed down there by my family and the guards of the palace. And in there on the pedestal that was made of the amulets of the previous kings of the Gooran-Show. And this pedestal has an unearthly glow that only the next king can see. So then when I went over to the pedestal it glowed brighter and brighter until I touched the pedestal and then the glow vanished and the amulet of the King  had appeared in a flash of light. And once I touched the stone of the amulet. A bright white shark tooth appeared in the stone in a flash of red light and once the light dimmed it had become the backing of my amulet that showed that I was now the King of the Gooran. The Sharktooth meant that I was proficient in healing magic and the red of the amulets backing meant that I am also proficient in attack magic.
