The Eye of the Triangle

by Alan Persivale

Once upon a time there was a boy named Ryan with powers given to him by the gods. And ever since he was a little boy he knew that he was not like other kids and the only people who were like him were the gods and his siblings Emma and Justin. They were all given powers by the gods to protect earth, but it was up to them what they wanted to use their powers for.

Present day--July 30, 3089.

Life's way different from what they see in pictures one-hundred years ago. Everything is cities and there is basically no free land. Everything in the world is taken up by some sort of factory and housing. Ryan, Emma and Justin are all 14. They are triplets but look nothing alike, some people even mistake them as being friends and not siblings. This year they started learning at school and not in their house. This is because they finally fully learned how to control their powers with the help of the gods and their parents. But while they really like having school with other kids, they’re having trouble concealing their secret.

Ryan, Emma, and Justin all meet up behind the school after class so no one could see them, and out of nowhere the gods came and delivered a message, ‘It is finally that time where we grant you three more powers to protect the world from the evil within!’’ As they sat down overwhelmed with information, they nervously considered whether or not they should take the opportunity. Do they want to protect the world or be regular teenagers and live a normal life?

As they still sat contemplating the option presented to them, Ryan replied “I’m in’’. Emma and Justin sat nervous reflecting on the outcomes that can come out of doing this. Ryan encouraged his siblings by saying, “Come on, am I the only one who wants to fight bad guys?’’ Emma and Justin laughed and said ‘’I'm in too’’. And as the gods granted them more power they suddenly began to feel the adrenaline rush rapidly through their body. This intense feeling of power made them transcend time. Day turned to night, night turned to day. It almost felt as if an eternity passed even though they were still standing in the same place.

As they started to excitedly walk back home, they were suddenly attacked by these enormous creatures. They knew it was time to use their god-given powers. And one by one they began to use their new skills. However, everything they tried was never enough; these creatures seemed to be indestructible. Finally when they thought that the creatures were beginning to go away, the most unexpected thing happened; they took Justin with them. Ryan and Emma stood there in awe as they watched their brother transcend into the air.
