1 Chapter 1

When you think of new beginnings, you don't generally think that they would begin with your death. This is my story, and that is just how my true story really began. It all started with a guitar and a dream... My name is Alyster an orphan, and this is my story...

In an alley, I lay in agony as my blood drains from my body. I didn't try to save some girl who was being raped, or some other cliché thing. Instead, I was simply the victim of a mugging gone horribly wrong. I tried to hand over my wallet to the criminal, but then they tried to take my one precious thing from my unknown family.. An amulet I have had since I was a baby. It is a golden dragon with a pearl at its neck and emeralds for eyes. A very expensive looking item, and many people have tried to rob it from me over my 17 years of life, but never did I ever imagine that I would die with it clutched to my heart as my blood soaked it. In my last moments, I swear I saw the dragons pearl and eyes glowing, before darkness over took me...

Floating in perpetual darkness for what seemed like an eternity, I suddenly heard someone calling my name from faraway. A woman who I didn't recognize the voice of, and yet sounded so familiar at the same time. As this and other unrelated thoughts entered my mind, I suddenly found my mind being jam packed with an endless list of songs from over the years that I loved and movies. I knew every line of every song and movie as well as how to perfectly compose the songs. This blew my mind, and I was as confused as ever. However, what use is all of this to a dead man? And yet, at that moment, I woke up..

Staring at an unfamiliar ceiling I noticed that I was laying on a hospital bed, and there was a young woman in her early 30s laying her head at my side while slumped in a chair. I knew somehow instinctively that this woman was my mom, and memories suddenly came flooding in. I see. In this world which is also called Earth, my name is Alyster Vancheltz, son of Maria and Johnathon Vancheltz. My mom is from Spain and my dad is from England, but we live in America; Iowa to be exact. I was born and raised in Iowa, in the city of Cedar Rapids. However, due to an accident I have been in a hospital for two years now from when I was 15 until now, which means that I am still 17 in this world.

Gently stroking my moms hair and smiling at her, a smile came across her face before she suddenly jolted awake, and stared at me in the eyes in disbelief before relief and tears appeared together on her face. "Alyster? Alyster! Oh my God, you are awake! We have been waiting for so long, your father and I nearly lost hope.. But we didn't give up and now you are awake. I have to call your father from work right away!" My mom hurriedly pulled out her cellphone and began to speed dial my dad. "Johnathon, get to the hospital quick! Alyster has woken up! Yes I am serious dear! Please hurry!" Hanging up the phone, my mom took my right hand in hers and looked me in the eye with the biggest smile on her face.

"I have to go get the doctor now Alyster, I need to let them know that you are awake and we need to get you started on physical rehabilitation. Don't worry honey, I will be right back." Kissing my forehead, my mom hurried out the door to find a nurse to notify the doctor that I had woken up. Smiling sheepishly at my mom's kiss, I felt happy tears fall down my face as I realized that I was going to have a real family in this life, and with these memories of songs and movies, I might even be able to become something of a star one day. I need to get started. But first things first.. I must grow stronger!

-Half a year later-

After half a year of dedicated physical rehabilitation, I can at long last go home. To be honest, I am kind of nervous, but more than anything I am looking forward to what is coming. I will need to be tutored by someone to catch up to being a sophomore in high school, after all in their mind I haven't been to school in a couple years. Well, as far as math and science, english, etc. I will be okay I think because I was homeschooled at the orphanage in my past life. I was one of their top students too. Or at least that is what I thought, until my mom dropped a bomb on me.

"Oh honey, you wont be going back to high school. Instead as per your request before the accident, we will be sending you to a school for gifted young musicians. It's a high school in a sense, but it's also a university as well, because you wont be graduating there until you are 25. Yes that is right, the curriculum is 8 years of school. I don't want to let you go but you are almost 18 years old honey, and you need to experience new things. So, your father and I finally agreed to your request and so starting today you will be attending an international school in New York City for aspiring musicians and idols." Feeling my jaw drop, I learned more about Haven University as it was called and accepted my new and bright future. I clenched my fist as excitement flooded my system. I can do this, I will become a legend!

On March 13th 2020, I Alyster Vancheltz, have officially become an idol trainee of sorts at Haven University in New York City. Here's to a glorious beginning!
