- There were three figures that appeared as if from nowhere, one was cloaked in red, another in blue, and the third in green. They went to the Weapon Shop, which was three stores away from mine. When they came out they had determined looks about them, they then traveled to the Armor Shop, which was the next shop over from mine, when they came out this time, the shop keeper pointed at me, the owner of the Item Shop, Mido, an “Endowed” or magical born. The travelers came up to me and asked “Are you Mido, son of Fido?” I couldn’t say what I really wanted to say, because the words just slipped out of my mouth, “Yes” I said. They just smiled and asked me what my power was, and I answered with the words “Shape shifting” And they just smiled and said “Here”, giving me a black coat with fur at the neck and arms, clearly they knew I was a werewolf. The one that handed me the cloak had a fire pattern on his back, the blue had waves, and green had leaves. Then a loud snap! , then a thud! happened. As we heard it, we started to run towards it, not realizing what awaited us on the other side of the hill. When we finally got over the hill, we realized the snap and thud were not from natural causes; someone threw a boulder into the sky, and smashed it, with brute force. Then we saw him, he was not, by any means, small. He could have been seven feet easy, he was that big. Then he looked this way with those blood red demon eyes, quite frankly, I was a bit scared, then I realized he was a Minotaur, Half-Man, Half-Bull, but packs a punch. Then he smiled and said “How ya doin’? “. And then the men in cloaks asked if he would join them on a quest to unite and train young Endowed against an army called Hell’s Fury, supposed to have been forged by Satan himself. He asked “What’s in it fer me?” They responded with “An adversary supposed to be invincible!” He smiled and said “An adversary supposed to be invincible, huh? Sure!” Then he looked at me and said “What’s yer talent?” And I responded with a low growl that sounded like a beast. Then my hair started to grow at an alarming rate, and my mouth started to stretch and my nails grew long and sharp, then a tail protruded out of my backside. I had shape-shifted. Then I had let out the most ferocious howl I could. He realized I was a Werewolf. Then he said “Nice! A fellow Mythical!” He then raised his hand to give me a High-Five. I kindly said “No thanks.” I then asked his name and he responded with “Tauro!” Then it occurred to me that I had never asked the cloaked travelers their names. I went to ask them and they responded with “Warren, Aqua and Daisy!” When they left, a light shown and a crack! sounded from far off. We, me and Tauro, raced to where we heard the crack come from, finding out that there was only a boy and a fallen tree with a burn mark straight from the top of the tree to the bottom, it wasn’t long before I figured out what happened; the boy was one of us! I then shouted at the boy “Hey!” When the boy realized his secret was out, he started to run, as fast as lightning, but then I realized he was lightning! It took all of my speed as a Werewolf to catch him. “You’re fast!” I said to the boy as I was changing back to my human form. He had realized I was like him; an outcast of the world. He then said “Wow! No one has ever been able to catch me! You’re good! What Mythical are you? He asked. And so I replied “Werewolf.” He then said “Awesome! You mean you can change at will?” The boy then looked at the sun, which was beating down on our bodies. Tauro finally caught up, although he did take a while to get here, he didn’t look one bit tired. I then asked the boy his name and he said “Name’s Shocker, mate!” He had the Elemental power of Lightning, so I went to go get the others, brought them to him, he showed his powers to them, and they handed a yellow cloak with a Lightning pattern on it. Another had been added to the crew, six in all, but we were nowhere near done, we had a long journey ahead of us. Our first stop was Rosetown. The name made it seem peaceful, but it was one of the five Cities that had been overrun with bandits; it was the second to fall to the bandits, so we were going to either go straight through, and try our luck with the bandits and get supplies at the same time, or go and get supplies from a different town. We eventually decided on going straight through, also seeking more Endowed. So we walked and walked until we came across a humongous tree with roses, then a voice said “That would be the Rosetree, that’s where Rosetown got its name.” It was a woman, such a sweet voice it was, I almost felt like I was being mesmerized by the very sound of it. As I looked for the voice’s location, I realized who the voice belonged to; there was a woman in the tree. She jumped from what looked like ten feet, but was actually fifteen, and landed like a petal falling off a flower, so lightly that there was no sound when she hit the ground. Then she said “Hi! I’m Sirena! Nice to meet you! I’m a Mythical, a Siren to be exact.” Then I realized everybody but me had been enchanted by her voice. “Oops!” She said. She waved her hand as if she was casting a spell, but in fact she was reversing one. The others shook their heads as if the hand just became light-headed. She then asked me why I hadn’t become enchanted, and I said “Because I was, just slightly though.”

- I didn't know about the Rosetown thing.....I did know about Daisy, but I didn't use her as a reference...neither for Mido...I knew about him....but I wasn't using him in the story...Btw I pronounce Mido like Meedo not Meyedo...

- Seems good. I would just reccomend a few changes. First of all, It's a wall of text. That's kinda... not good. Secondly, names. Some I would change, because they sound familiar. Daisy is the name of Luigi's equivalent to Mario's Princess Peach, Rosetown is the name of a town in Super Mario RPG, and Mido is a character from Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Shocker is a clever name, though, I like that one! I'll give you a 5!

- nice plot idea, though you may want to make it play out a little slower. the name is awesome, 'the endowed' and i like the character ideas, but you should develop each character a little bit more before you rush into making seven of them. and maybe the name for satans army can be something a little less obvious, like 'The Dreaded' or 'The Grey' or something. and dont reveal the main enemy so quickly... it makes for a very short and anticlimatic story.
