Narration
There is a myth about a king who lived during the ancient world .
The king was very powerful than anyone or anything on earth . The king was rumoured to be immortal since many generations passed under his cruel leadership.
He was said to posses two powerful sacred adornments, a ring and a bracelet. These adornments gave him powers he had to be called KING DEMION.
After many generations passed without him aging much, he married a woman who no one knew her origin or a family she belonged to, which is totally suspicious.
Through his wife , king Demion got two twin sons. He called them, Dergaz (the older one) and Dergon(the younger one).
When their children reached eighteen (18)years old , he and his wife died proving the rumours about immortality to be wrong.
Truth be told, the boys never lived happily when their parents were alive so, after their parents died they decided to part the territory equally for each one of them to rule.
Also, each of them took one of their father's sacred adornments ; Dergaz with the ring and Dergon with the bracelet.
After that incident, non of them dared to attack the other one's territory since they didn't know the extents of their adornments' powers, fearing that the other might have greater power.
Everyone established his own family and the two territories were in political antagonism. When they reached sixty (60)years old, Dergaz become really ill and he was going to die . So, he decided to call his brother for a peaceful meeting.
When his brother arrived, he introduced him to his family, they shared a meal and they went to talk.
In their talks he apologized for the bad relationship they had before and it was foolish of them to act like that. They both agreed that they should settle their differences.
Also degarz added, and said that he had destroyed his ring purposely and advised his little brother to do so on his bracelet in order to avoid their children having same conflicts for powers.
Not too many days after the meeting Dergaz died and Dergon buried him peacefully. Then he excused himself to his territory after promising to end the antagonism between the two territories.
When he arrived at his home he thought-back about what his brother advised him (to break his bracelet). He decided against it and decided to just obscure it somewhere safe for ages until he also died.
!! SINCE THAT DAY NO ONE KNEW WHERE IT WAS !!

Chapter ONE : ROUTINE TROUBLE
"Mr Flint. Mr Flint. Mr Flint !"
"Yes sir !" Jimmy came out of his deep thoughts .
"What are you thinking? You should focus in the class", sir Daniel, the history teacher said.
"Maybe he is on with those creepy thoughts of his again, thinking of how to retrive king Demion and start his own roman empire", Oscar, Jimmy's bully at school, blurted loudly. The whole class erupted with laughters .
It is obvious for Jimmy to be mocked but Jimmy Flint is very good at maintaining his temper.
"Alright, everyone keep quite" sir Daniel ordered and everyone did as he said.
"As we planned last week, tomorrow we are going to the museum to study more about our sub topics especially the roman empire and the myth of king Demion" after he finished his statement the whole class except for Jimmy groaned.
"Of course, we are going there by tomorrow and you won't like me if you won't come", he said with a serious face and everyone knew what he meant; punishment.
The bell rang at 02:30 pm and sir Daniel excused himself to his office.
As usual Jimmy started to pack his books in his very old backpack when Oscar passed by and elbowed him so harshly that Jimmy dropped his books and Oscar teased him, "How is Demion doing, Jim?", everyone laughed again including a young beautiful girl called Sarah whom Jimmy has a crush on.
Sarah and Jimmy never talked much but she didn't even look to enjoy some short conversations they had in class groups during discussions or projects.
Although he didn't like the name he was called by Oscar, Jimmy just picked up his books and left the class packing them on the hallway.
Jimmy always walks to and from school and he uses almost thirty(30) minutes per route. So, Jimmy arrived home at around 3 pm .
Jimmy lives at Glister Street; one of the smallest streets in Dasimo city, people like to call it "DSM". The street is characterized with poor living standards of families and people.
Jimmy's house looks like they are the richest people in the street eventhough they are just of average standards.
Their house is of good looking because of good caring of his mother.
When he reached home he found his mother preparing to leave for work after her short afternoon break.
Away from their street, almost 600 meters , there is a construction of a tall building, almost 48 floors and her mother sells some cooked and industrial food stuffs there, since the construction began.
If not so, she has her own place, three streets from Glister.
His mother always has her short break from 02:30pm to 03:15pm since the construction began.
Jimmy's father, Wilson Flint, died very long time ago, atleast that is what he was told. He was told that his father died in a car crash when he was only two years old; that was seventeen years ago and he doesn't remember even his face , what a strange father? No pictures , no memorable identity of him. Anyway he doesn't have a place in Jimmy's heart.
So, he greeted his mother and went to his room to put his bag. He then went directly to the kitchen to get something to put into his stomach. "I am leaving Jimmy" her mother said while heading for the door.
"Okay, bye"
Jimmy always have a bowl of porridge in morning before going to school and have his lunch when he returns. Not because he doesn't have money to afford but because he doesn't want to waste the little amount he is given, while he can still eat thrice a day. So all the money goes on his own reserve.
His mother returns from work at evening and they have dinner together. While eating they always ask about each other's day. Jimmy and his mother don't talk much, just caring for each other.
He then went to study his best high school subject ; History, that was after wishing his mother a goodnight and he slept at late hours.
By the way his mother is known as Miss Jenny.
The morning came by very quickly for Jimmy. He woke up very early and chose one of his best trousers and long hands shirt for today's occasion.
Today they are going on a trip to the national museum so there was no need to wear his school uniforms.
He arrived at school at around 07:50pm and found some other students of his class on every corner of the school (because they didn't have any subjects today) just talking and laughing.
He decided to go and talk to some friends (of course they were not close friends , since he doesn't have any).
When 08:00 am reached , they all gathered out of their class waiting for Sir Daniel.
Other students from other classes envied them because they were the only ones that were not in class and they were going on a trip. You know!!! Why can't they also go? It was just for one day and history is for all people and not for history subject takers only. It would not hurt ,huh?
When Jimmy arrived there, Oscar saw him and his mouth itched to tease him ,"Hey Jim, why are you still in your pajamas? You should get ready we are leaving soon", he blurted across the hallway with a serious father's face.
When everyone looked at his face and then to Jimmy, ended up laughing to their bottom. Jimmy just ignored him although he didn't like the name he was called. "Jim"
After few minutes of waiting , sir Daniel came and greeted, "Good morning everyone"
"Good morning sir", they replied in unison.
"I guess it's time so, let's head to the playground, there is a bus waiting for us", he announced.
So, everyone moved with silent talkings between them. When they arrived at the playground they entered the bus and everyone took a seat. Immediately, the bus left to the museum.
And it was on this very day, that the truth behind the myth started to uncover and started to merge with Jimmy's life.
