He sat down on a park bench and sighed. He'd been wondering around all day. He was getting nowhere. All he had was the shard the pastor had given him.
So far, he had wandered himself through halfway up California. He's been chased away from public property seven times, got yelled at by a Hispanic mother, and had to persuade the police that he didn't steal anything from a mall. On top of that, he kept getting every dirty look imaginable from every human being he's passed so far, and possibly one from a dog.
You'd a think that these thing-a-ma-jigs were easier to find, he thought. He pulled out his black spell book. He's been reading through it a lot lately, more than he'd like to admit. He couldn't hardly help himself. There is so much to read about. The other day, he found out how to hide his staff by changing it into a necklace. He also found that his spell book could be turned into anything he wanted, not just a book. Currently, its in an I-Pod form.
He also had fire dancing among his finger tips, he created a miniature tornado, and he summoned Lightning. He tried not to use these powers too much though. It didn't exactly feel right, playing God like that.
He put his I-pod down and laced his fingers and whispered a prayer.
Please God, if it is in your will, let me find these shards. I need to find them. If the wrong person wins that tournament, then everyone could be in trouble. Amen.
He opened his eyes to see a young girl standing there. He looked left and right to try and see a pair of parent's eyes looking towards them, but there were none.
The girl said, "Hello. My name is Kate. What's yours?" The girl couldn't be any more than four.
"Vector." He answered honestly. "Can I help you with something?" He asked. Trying to get her to leave but trying to be gentle about it. She said, "Hey, do you want this? No one else seems to." She held up a shard. Vector felt his eyes widen, but he stayed calm. "Uh, yes, please."
She put it in his lap and gave a big smile. "Thank you." Vector said, but she only ran off to whatever she was doing before. Vector smirked. And Thank you Lord, He thought to himself.
Two down. One to go.
