Just then Jon's cell phone rang. "hello", He said as he answered it.
A voice, electronically scrambled as if from a witness being hidden replied. "Are you missing something Jon? I know you are. You'll be able to get your prescious magic rock back on one condition. If you play my game and follow my list of challenges through to the letter."
"Why would I do that anyways?" Jon said, feeling a bit miffed he was being toyed with.
"Because, you do not want the stone to fall into the wrong hands. Meanwhile I need some peices rearranged on the playing board that just happens to be your life. Nothing big, just a few numbers shifted in the probability field. A butterfly to flap its wings per say."
"Dude, that makes no sense" Jon said.
The voice ignored him and continued. "their is a silver arm band in your top dresser drawer, wear it."
Jon opened the door and clamped the metal band around his arm. it was cold to the touch and a strange tingle went through his arm upon wearing it.
"This armband has a power Jon, you can use it to change a persons body or mind but not both, and only one change per person. and no it cannot work on me. This tool will assist you on your tasks."
"Uhm, what are my tasks?" Jon asked.
"here are the first few tasks in no particular order.":
-
"Dethrone the queen of the cheerleaders"
-
"render the ladies man impotent on the brink of his greatest triumph"
-
"take the goth witch's most prized treasure."
-
"Ruin the football stars biggest game of the year."
-
"Make a greatest loser of the nerds ascend to greatness"
Do well and I will give you the rest of the list. Do very well and you may just get your stone early.
