The Rise of Lucas Chapter 1
Lucas Drell stood in the dimly lighted cage, his pulse pumping with a combination of eagerness and fear. The iron clang of the prison door sounded across the short lobby as the guard approached. "Drell, pack your things. You're getting out today," the guard murmured, a note of apathy in his voice.Lucas, his name reverberating through the frigid prison air, felt a wave of emotions.

He grabbed his small possession – a few worn-out books, letters from friends, and a handful of personal objects that had survived the craze of prison life.The clothing he wore was supplied by the prison, shapeless and bland.

They were wandering through a charming park, bathed in the warm light of the evening sun, when an unanticipated occurrence transpired, changing the direction of their knowledge of Lucas's newfound skills.As they wandered down the meandering road, enjoying the peace of the surroundings, Lilian, caught in a moment of unintended clumsiness, fell over an uneven piece of ground. A sharp stone lay in her path, and the subsequent contact left her with a minor bleeding gash on her knee."Ouch!" Lilian shouted, her fingers reflexively reaching down to check the damage. A trickle of blood identified the damage, ruining the clean fabric of her pants.Lucas, quick to respond, crouched down beside her, worry written across his face.
