Let the Flames Begin (USUK)

Chapter 1: I Wish to Become the King of Spades

The almost full moon shone on the dark city wrapping it's light on nearly everything. Everything except for areas shadowed by larger objects. Including an ally a young man of only 17 was using for a silent and secretive get away. Deeming the distance great enough the young man stepped out of his cover and threw his arms up.

"Another job well done! Hahahahaha...... these jobs only easier and easier. Honestly don't these people know to keep constant watch on their goods? Oh well~"

Heading back to the direction to his house the young man readjusted the sack he was carrying and walked on only to pause when he heard the noise of rustling branches. Looking around and seeing nothing he shrugged and continued walking.

"Hey kid."

He paused upon hearing the voice and looked around again. Once again seeing nothing he began to get nervous. 'An enemy that you can't see is a dangerous enemy... that or I'm hearing things. It probably the latter though.' he thought to himself and became comforted. 'That's right I'm imaging things it's not like there is any ghost here or anything hehehehehehehe....'

"Hey kid! Up here!"

Jolted out of his thoughts the young man looked up from were he heard the louder voice come from. Sitting in a tree was an albino he was 100% certain wasn't there before. The mysterious albino jumped off the tree and landed in front of the young teen.

"Are... Are you a g-ghost?" The teen asked cursing his stutter. The albino laughed in response

"Nein. I am the legendary awesome Joker Gilbert!"

"The Joker? No way he's just a myth."

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"I am right here in my full awesomest glory you know!"

"How do I know you are not just some crazy teen pulling a prank?"

"Kid?! If anything you're the kid! I'm thousands of years old!"

"So you're not a human?"

"Listen here kid! You have been blessed with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have any ONE of your wish granted!" The albino chirped. 'That is if you're willing to pay the price for it.' The albino kept this thought to himself though.

"A wish? What's the price?"

"Price? Nothing physical of course. In fact depending on the wish you can gain something else as well."

"Nothing? Nothing at all? And I can gain something else too?"

"That's right. So think long and hard about it and meet me here at this time when you are ready."

"But why me?"

"Because you have the potential."

The young male took in a breath and released it. "If this isn't a joke then..." he closed his eyes, "I wish to have the top position in Spades..." he then opened his eyes, "I wish to become the king of Spades."

"That was quick. You sure about this?"

"Positive. Just grant my wish if this isn't a joke."

The albino smirked. "Okay. I'll grant your wish. Now go forth and carve your own path Alfred F. Jones - the new king of Spades!"

Then everything went black
