You finish getting dressed and step out of your bedroom into the hallway. As you do, a delicious aroma fills the air. Sweet! Mom made pancakes! you think to yourself as you dash downstairs, all thoughts of nightmares forgotten.
You enter the family dining room and see your dad already sitting at the table typing away at his work laptop, mom was standing over the stove cooking up some of her world famous chocolate chip pancakes. It smelt even better down here than it had upstairs in the hallway! " happy birthday Mike" she said excitedly as she nonchalantly flipped the pancakes into the air. "Ready for some delicious breakfast?" A huge smile crosses your face. You had completely forgotten about your fourteenth birthday today! You run a hand through your dark brown hair as you plop down at the table. "am I ever!" You answer excitedly. Mom heaps several pancakes already drizzled with maple syrup on a plate in front of you. The best part about being the only child? You never had to share your pancakes. "I have a gift for you son" Dad said reaching below the table. He lifts up a small intricately carved wooden box. There was an odd hexagram on the lid of it. It was odd because there were six circles connected by lines, each having its own weird symbol within the circles. But one circle was about twice the size of the others. The symbol within it was a flat horizontal line wit two smaller lines branching out of it and two more small lines branching off those. "Cool!" Said mike as he pried the lid off. Inside the box was a silver ring. The ring had the same symbol as the over large circle on the lid of the box. But Mike hadn't even noticed that. As soon as he laid eyes upon the ring, he knew he was meant to wear it. Rings weren't even his style! There was something about it, something inside him, that absolutely needed to wear this ring.
