**New Beginnings**

The sun was setting over the small town of Oakwood, casting a warm orange glow over the streets and homes. Nigee, a recent high school graduate, sat on his couch, staring blankly at the TV as he flipped through channels. It had been a few weeks since graduation, and Nigee was still trying to figure out his life. He had applied to several jobs, but so far, no one had called him back for an interview. Nigee's mom, a concerned look on her face, walked into the room. "Nigee, honey, you need to get out there and start looking for a job. You can't just sit around the house all day." Nigee sighed, knowing his mom was right. He had been struggling to find motivation since graduation. Just then, the doorbell rang. It was the probation officer, Mrs. Johnson, who had been assigned to Nigee's case. Nigee had been mandated to attend anger management classes after a series of incidents in high school. Mrs. Johnson smiled warmly as she entered the house. "Hello, Nigee. I see you're doing well. I just wanted to remind you that your first anger management class is tonight." Nigee groaned inwardly. He wasn't looking forward to this. He had always struggled with anger issues, and the thought of sitting in a room with a bunch of strangers, talking about his feelings, made him uncomfortable. But he knew he had to go. At the class, Nigee was surprised to see that the instructor, a middle-aged man with a condescending tone, seemed more interested in lecturing than helping the students. The instructor, Mr. Thompson, began to drone on about the importance of controlling one's emotions. Nigee listened for a while, but as the class went on, he found himself becoming increasingly agitated. Mr. Thompson asked the students to share their personal stories of anger and frustration. When it was Nigee's turn, he stood up, his voice shaking with anger. "I'm just sick of people telling me to calm down all the time. I'm sick of being angry, but I don't know how to stop it." The room fell silent, and Mr. Thompson looked taken aback. But instead of helping Nigee work through his emotions, Mr. Thompson snapped at him. "That's not the way to do it, young man. You need to learn to control your temper, not let it control you." Nigee felt his anger boil over, and before he knew it, he had smashed his fist onto the table, making the other students jump. The class erupted into chaos, with Mrs. Johnson rushing in to escort Nigee out. As they walked out of the building, Mrs. Johnson turned to Nigee and said, "I think we have a lot of work to do, Nigee. But I'm willing to help you. Are you willing to try?" Nigee nodded, feeling a glimmer of hope. Maybe this anger management thing wouldn't be so bad after all. But little did he know, his life was about to take a dramatic turn. His ex-girlfriend, Sakiyah, was in grave danger, and Nigee's trusty steel bat was about to become his ticket to a wild adventure. As Nigee walked home, he couldn't shake off the feeling that his life was about to change forever. He had no idea that Sakiyah had been kidnapped by an evil woman named Jemada, or that he would soon be embarking on a quest to rescue her. But for now, Nigee just walked, lost in thought, his steel bat leaning against the wall, waiting for him to pick it up and start his journey.
