Name: Zack Nobel Age: 16

Zack was on his way home in Steel Canyon, when he found himself confronted by the Outcast. He had just witnessed them committing a crime. That’s when they came after him. He ran, ran without thought or direction. When he finally opened his eyes, he saw the magic shop ahead. Running inside, out of breath, he saw some heroes trying to trade some junk. Panting, trying to speak, he voiced “They…are…after…me”. The heroes all went outside to deal with the Outcast and the shopkeeper watched out the window, not minding the nerdy boy whom was left breathlessly standing at the door. That’s when Zack noticed a glow from the back. He was drawn to it like a moth to the flame. The closer he got the brighter the light became; it seemed to pulsate with his every step. When Zack finally got to the source, he saw a stone in the shape of a shield. It seemed to call him. That’s when this work appeared on it in flame “Ignis”. Then another word appeared “Contego”, this time in blue energy. As the words appeared he was compelled to read them. The stone shield then glowed even brighter. Zack felt the call even stronger; he reached out and touched the magical stone. At that very moment the stones light began to crack it in various places. The buildup of the magical energy kept goining until the stone was consumed in the light and there was an explosion. The explosion was so great that it knocked everything over in the shop, including the shopkeeper whom flew out the window from the blast. The Heroes outside were dumbfounded by the sudden explosion and the remaining Outcast ran in fear. The heroes rushed inside to investigate and look for the boy who ran inside. That’s when they saw him in the ruble of books and magical goods. Zack awoke to find the heroes above him. The shopkeeper finally spoke up. Explaining that the stone shield had magical properties, but no one could determine its origin, or how it worked. Zack then piped up “All it said was Ignis Contego”. As he spoke the words a flash of light came upon him, changing his form. Before the heroes and the shop keep stood a mighty looking hero with a blazing sword and a shield of blue energy.
