• In small towns no one knows what to expect from them. They always think of them as just another passthrough on the way to a destination, but people don't realize that in small towns and villages are where strange even magical things can happen.
    Damous was person who obviously lived in a small town. He was born on September 9th 1991. He always dreamed for something more in his life to come to him. He lives in Velley. A small town on the coast of Washington. Damous always beleived in something strange happened to people but he never beleived that they would happen to him. He was always doubtful person. No one like him because that feature he has.
    Damous goes to Harrison Middle School. A very small school of about 300. He always sits alone at luch, doesn't speak out in class, and just keeps to himself all the time. On the on the 9th of September he would of never believed what would happen to him on his birthday.

    Geometry. One of the things that Damous hated most. He thought it was boring and he didn't know what it was used for at all and when he was ever going to use it. He loved to think about his life in someone elses place like a celebrity at the most. While he was skimming through his thoughts he hardly noticed a butterfly on the Window of the classroom. He glanced at it and looked away. He thought it was just another butterfly but this one was unique. He looked back at it and he noticed it wasn't just a regular butterfly, it was blood red. A Crimson Butterfly Damous thought. Just then he felt something abnormal happening to him. He felt uncomfortable looking at it. Somehow he felt as though the butterfly was calling him. He heard a voice in side his hed, calling his name. Damous. Damous. Damous! Just then his teacher snapped at him very angrily. Damous woke out of his trance and looked at his teacher. She was Furious!
    "Can you pay attention for one second at least!?"
    "Sorry." Damous replied nervously just as the bell rang. Everyone got up to leave.
    "Remember to do pages 134 through 138!" Yelled the teacher as the students raced out of the classroom.

    Before Damous left he looked to the window again. The Butterfly was gone. After school Damous walked home zombiely. He was tired and exhausted. He noticed it was getting unusually dark outside. He walked on and the streetlights on the street he was on turned on. He walked under one and looked up. This light wasn't on. The streetlight had the number 9 on the light. Damous just wanted to go home to go enjoy his birthday with his parents. As he began to leave the Streetlight turned on. He stopped and realized that the light was Red. He was a little scared. All of a sudden he heard a noise in the distance. wahmbulance It sounded like flapping wings. It was approaching quickley and it was coming in all directions. He kept darting his eyes and as the sound got louder he saw what the noise was coming from. Thousands and Thousands of Crimson Red Butterflies were coming at him. He tried to run but the farthest he got was the edge of where the red glow of the streetlight reached and he was pumbled by the buttlerflies.

    Damous woke up in a field of Trees. Blood red trees. He kept staring at them and he noticed that the trees were moving with out any wind to blow them. He now noticed that the trees were full of the butterflies. He was careful not to make the slightest of noise. He walked through the maze of trees. He was lost and he was tired. He started to panic. As he panicked he started to run. He ran through the trees as fast as he could then at the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a girl. He stopped suddenly and tripped. The girl saw him. She had a vague expression on her face and she looked as if she was the same age as Damous. Damous looked back at her. She was wearing a Crimson dress, the same color as the Butterflies. Then before Damous could blink she was running away in the opposite direction. He started to run after her.

    "Hey!!!"Damous shouted, "Don't run!" He chased her around corners and he kept shouting at her with out a response. Around another corner he went but he couldn't see any trace of her.
    "UGHHHHHHHH!" Damous was exhausted. He walked a few steps foreword. all of a sudden a hand shot over his face.
    "Mmmmmmmmmmhhhhhmhmmmmmhhh!"
    "Shhhhhh! Be quiet, you'll wake them." The hand released Damous. He looked behind him and he saw the girl standing there.
    "Why did you run?" Damous asked exaspirated.
    "Because I thought you were here to kidnap me like my parents were."
    "No I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't hurt someone."
    "Well, I can't take that many chances."
    "Can you tell me where I'm at please?"
    "Umm, your in the Kingdom on Enin of course!"
    "Oh. well how did I get here I don't think I've ever been here before."
    "Well obviously if you've never heard of Enin. My butterflies must have brought you."
    "How, Butterflies can not carry my weight this far."
    "They carrried you by magic. Wow you are a pretty stupid kid."
    "Hey! I am just saying is all! Besides theres no such thing I thought?"
    The girl looked at him in a blank stare. "You really haven't heard of Enin or Ever been in an encounter of magic have you?"
    "Well no"
    The girl took Damous by the hand and she took him to the edge of the Forest without saying a word. As they reached the edge the girl stopped suddenly and yanked Damous behind a tree. "What are you doing?"
    "Shhhhh! Don't you know how not to scream?"
    Then Damous looked around the large tree. He saw a couple of what looked like warriors in black armed with bows and very large swords. Damous got very wide eyed.
    "Who are they?"
    "They are the black warriors of the 6 trials."
    "Huh?"
    "The enemy. They are the enemy of our country The trials of 9." the girl said very seriously.
    "Ahh. What are they doing here then?"
    "They are probably looking for me. They kidnapped my parents and probably killed them."
    "You don't sound to sad about that" Damous whispered.
    "Well, in times like these we need to muster all the strength we have in order to survive. The slightest bit of weakness can kill us."
    At that moment an arrow hit the tree behind them.
    "They've seen us!" Yelled the girl.
    "What do we do than?"
    "All we can do now is fight"

    The girl walked in front of the tree but Damous pulled her back suddenly.
    "What are you doing are you Crazy?!"
    "Do you know how to use a sword?"
    "A what? Your not seroious are you?" But she was not listening to him she was already counjuring up a crimson blade coming ringht out of the ground.
    Damous was astonished. He had never seen anything like it. He was terrified and curious at the same time. When she pulled the sword all the way out of the ground She handed the Sword to Damous. He wanted to refuse but he was to scared to because he knew he had to defend himself somehow.

    The sword looked heavy, but when he took he was surprised how light it was. Just then he felt energy surge up his arm. Was this magic? he thought. At that moment he didn't feel scared or terrified anymore. It was all gone as if the magic had immobilized it. He felt great and strong as ever.
    "Attack!" The girl screamed. without warnig Damous's body moved so swiftly he found himself facing 6 black knights. The Crimson Girl was right next to him and her hands were covered in a mistic red haze. Then the knights charged at them.

    The moment was almost in slow motion for Damous. He watched as the Knights charged at them. He wondered if this was his last moment and what he had gotten himself into. Then in a split second Damous lounged at the knights and thrust his blade right into the first black knight that reached him. It went through the armor smoothly. Then Damous pulled it out and swung at the next knight. This one was not as underestimating as the first knight was and blocked Damous's attack. Then he thrust his second blade at Damous. Damous dodged it at slammed the hilt of his sword right in the face of the knight. The knight fell over unconscious, but then Damous felt piercing pain in his back. He knew what had just happened. He turned slightly to see a knight with his knife in Damous's back.

    Damous fell on his side and just layed there in shock. He watched the girl in crimson fight. She was very good at it too. She saw Damous on the ground and Screamed a horrifying scream. In an instant he heard the same noise he heard under the streetlight. Out of the forest came thousands and thousands of The Crimson Butterflies. They came and pumbled the knights down. Then He saw the girls face and he fell unconsious.

    Damous woke up under the Streetlight and it was the normal color a streetlight should be. He then realized what just happeded and felt his back. he felt a scar and went wide eyed. Then he looked up at lamp and saw a crimson Butterfly. Then it flew away. Damous never even knew that girls name. Maybe he should of asked he thought. Damous raced home and enjoyed his Birthday with his parents and wondered if he would see the Crimson girl ever again.
