When his mom delivered him into the world she grew dreadfully sick and traveled far and wide for medical treatment, he had not seen her since. His dad had died in a very large battle between very large armies but none ever told him why. This secret would unleash great power among the Alford dynasty
Samuel was very bored, he looked for jobs to earn little cash for food and water. He loved to play with the bugs below, for they were considered entertaining to him. He had nothing besides him and his bugs.
One day, while playing with the bugs, he found a new one, one he had never seen before. It was small and had pincers with sharp tail. He touched it and it poked its tail into Samuels arm. No blood was drawn but venom was seeping through Samuel's body. Although, for some reason he felt no pain.
He felt a great power finding its way through his body he felt great and then heard a noise in his head,"Rrrr" purred. It was trying to communicate.
Samuel thought, "Who is this?"
The sound replied , "I am a scorpion, you may call me what you would prefer."
"How about Zander?" I asked.
"Sure." The scorpion replied.
"Are you real?" I asked.
"Yes very much."He replied. Then, the ground shook and a little scorpion appeared.
"Seriously?" I asked in disappointment. Then it grew, fourteen feet and it was very serious. "Why are you here?" I finally asked in suspicion.
He replied, " You and I will begin the rise of the scorpion riders."
