The Message

Lucas Andersson

I am just an ordinary person, who happens to live on this disastrous island with these nasty people. In my opinion I am the only person here with at least some common sense. Wait, wouldn't that make me unordinary. Anyways I'm not gonna bother wasting any more time on this introduction.

At 3am on a certain night: I couldn't fall asleep, most likely due to me not being used to sleeping alone, since Fishy is unusually busy with work today, and even though nothing special was going to happen tomorrow, I still wouldn't want to be tired. I had a window open so I wouldn't get too hot, since that would have been unpleasant which is also why i hate it. I could hear the wind whistling outside. I hate that too but not for any particular reason I just do. I seem to hate a lot of things, like my parents, the school I go to, the people in my school and people in general but I think you get the point.

Time seemed to be going ten times slower. Until I heard a thud and at the same time felt something tiny on my side.

"Fishy? Is that you?" I asked, my voice sounding deeper than normal due to me being so tired, hoping that my assumption was correct.

After not getting an answer I turned to look at whatever had fallen on top of me but while doing so it fell onto the floor. Or jumped? It seemed to be a tiny machine with a purple light coming from an even tinier beacon. The light was flashing slowly on and off until it stopped and now it was projecting a holographic screen with a person whose face was hidden in the shadows.

"Hello Lucas Andersson! I have delivered this message upon you and 5 others", The person, in what I assume was a recording, started. I was a bit shaken up by this and what she said next didn't help much. "But don't worry no one can hear us right now for I have cast a spell upon the surrounding room that makes it soundproof", It continued. I guess now I don't have to worry about waking up Dawn, who is my mother. 

"Now to the topic at hand, I need your help to prevent the upcoming possibly end of the world. I know this may seem a bit crazy but just meet me at the location I sent to your device, at 8pm today", Then the recording ended with the machine basically disappearing into thin air.

As she said that last sentence my phone lit up with a location that seemed to be in the woods near my house. I've been there a couple of times, due to me spending most of my freetime in the woods, but I don't remember there being anything worth going to see.

So to get this straight. This mystery person who basically didn't leave any information on their identity expects 6 random strangers to go to a very suspicious location so they could prevent an end of the world. Even if they were serious, then why me. I am literally the son of one of the most dangerous and powerful demons, that doesn't sound like someone who would save the world, and couldn't the almighty gods do the saving since it's basically their job. 

I guess going wouldn't hurt since I don't have anything else for tomorrow, nor do I have anything to lose so a couple murder attempts wouldn't change anything.
