"Stop scaring the kids Darius" the Archmage spoke looking at the young looking elf, he was the one who addressed them earlier and he was the one who brought them here after giving them the test, he was the one they were more familiar with.
Nicholas was looking at the white beared elf, who seems too real to be a joke, the ordeal they just passed through made him realize that nothing happening now is a joke."Umm excuse me, we passed your test can we go home now, I don't want the scholarship again, I can't seem to get any signal here, please can you take me back home" Lily said with a sorry face, she looked like who was about to cry and the way she was pleading she wanted to go home was heart breaking."Kids calm down let me introduce myself and the people gathered around the table, before we begin" the Archmage said while stroking his beard."My name is Chandelier but you can call me Archmage, this is what am normally called, the old man who is a bit muscular over there is called high mage Gragtos" when the Archmage pointed towards the man called Gragtos he raised his hand and waved at the children."The mean looking elf who was just talking a while ago is called Darius" when Darius heard his introduction he only smiled menacely at the kids, who only looked away after seeing his face."The average looking lean man over there is Walker, he is mostly the strategist we have here, if you want to win a war you could ask him on how to win a war" Archmage Chandelier said with a smile, the lean mage who was introduced puffed his chest out only nodding his head towards the children."The tiger lady over there, who seemed like she would eat you raw is called Selina, I would recommend you don't get on her bad side" the beastman which was the tiger lady only growled a bit towards the Archmage but didn't say anything or made any move, she was just sitting there but the kids could feel an unspeakable pressure."Well next on the line is our beautiful Rosetta, she is the treasurer of the mage association she is easy going, has alot of suitors, but she is still single" the Archmage said while chuckling, these made the pressure lessen, the treasurer who looked like a fairy with light blue hair, beautiful blue eyes, with a wonderful smile, only nodded at the Archmage before nodding towards the kids, before sitting comfortably again."The quiet looking man over there is our youngest member, he hardly speaks but he has alot to say, he is called Morbuis" the Archmage stroked his beard while looking at Morbuis who only waved at the kids with a warm smile."Alright that's all of us, would all you start introducing yourselves before we continue, this should be the first time meeting" Archmage Chandelier said looking at the kids."To hell with the introductions, what I want to know is how did we get here? when can we leave? is this scholarship a sham or what?" Carter started spewing rubbish when given the opportunity, while the rest of the teenagers were of thesame thought, although they didn't agree with Carter manner of approach those were the questions that were still lingering in their mind."Silence" Archmage Chandelier said, the old kind man image was replaced with a frown, he wasn't exuding any pressure but the teenagers felt like a boulder was being pressed on them."I said make your introductions after that we would answer each questions you have for us, is that understood?" all the teenagers were quiet, they were all frightened, even the blabbering Carter stepped back out of fear."I said is that understood?" Archmage Chandelier repeated himself, this time the kids nodded their heads like chickens that were pecking on food."Alright we will start with the survivors and moved to those who died" After saying that the Archmage went back and sat down.Nicholas cleared his throat before saying "My name is Nicholas, is a pleasure to meet you all" Nicholas said politely, with a clear face, the rest of the high mages nodded at his introduction."My name is Freya" Freya said straight to the point without adding anything or changing the emotion on her face, the people sitting down seemed to not mind."My name is Ivy and for your information am not pleased with what we went through back in the school" Ivy introduced herself and sounding her displeasure too, the mages only nodded at her."The name is Lily, pleasure to meet you all too" Lily said while bowing, she only wanted to go home and couldn't care less about the introduction, the mages only nodded too.It was now the time for those who died to introduce them selves to everyone."Look here my name is Carter, and I don't like being referred to who died, as you can see am alive and well, I don't know if all of you are a secret cult but I want no part of it" Carter introduction was full of spiteful words, he just kept on blabbering until he saw that nobody was paying attention to him again before he stopped blabbering."My name is Derrick, truth be told I just want to see my mom" Derrick said in a very small voice that was hardly heard."Alright that's it for the introduction, is time to tell you everything and why all of you are here" Archmage Chandelier got up and said, with the friendly atmosphere, the frown on his face was gone and that kind smile was there now."First of all, all of you are no longer on earth, you are in a world called Alzdaar" the Archmage said while looking at the children, their reactions were really amusing to Archmage Chandelier, most of them seemed like their whole world has came crashing down, two of them looking confused about what the Archmage just said."What the fuck do you mean we are no longer on earth anymore" yes this was Carter shouting again, the remaining five should elect him as their speaker because he seemed like he had no fear of speaking out when need be."What I meant is you are no longer on earth, okay to put it in simple words you have been summoned to another world" Archmage Chandelier said holding his forehead, he was already tired of this blabbering fool, if not he was among the chosen six, he would have already kicked him out already, Archmage Chandelier couldn't remember when last he spoke so much."How come we are in another world, I don't remember us passing through a portal to another world"
"Alright is time to check your talents, as there are no other questions left to answer" Archmage Chandelier said while looking at the six teenagers, his smile never leaving his face after his initial frown."What do you mean talents?" Lily who has come to terms with reality after crying for a while, asked while tilting her head, her beautiful eyes which still had a remnant of tears, sparkled in the hall."Hahaha seems you are coming back to life young lady, what I mean by talents is, I mean your magic attributes, your elements if you can use the water element, fire element, air element, e.t.c" Archmage Chandelier said while looking at all of them, considering what they had just gone through they actually needed rest, but the measurements of their elements couldn't wait."Should I take it over from here? Archmage" the beautiful Rosetta stood up and said, urging Archmage Chandelier to take a rest, he has been addressing them for long now, and all the high mages have just sitting down wa
"The next person please come forward and walk up the podium" Rosetta said with a calm face, as if she was speaking with business partners.The ego Derrick used to leave the podium where the orb is, would make someone think that he just won a lottery, his chest was puffed out, he looked proud to the rest of the group, like someone who had lots of money to squander on the masses.This made Carter snort before he walked up to the podium at the far end of the hall, where the orb was located.He breathed in and then out before apparently closing his eyes for some seconds, before opening them again and then placing his hands on the orb, the orb glowed red (fire), blue (water), green (air), brown (earth) and finally purple (lightning).When Carter saw this, he jumped up and turned to where the rest teenagers were, he then shouted "Hell yeah, eat that you suckers" this made the rest of the five teenagers frown.The Mages were clapping, Darius added "He seemed stupid but quite talented, if he c
Ivy breathed a long sigh before placing her hands on the orb, the orb started glowing red (fire) green (air) blue (water) brown (earth) yellow (light) orange (enchantment) then the glowing of the orb apparently stopped, there was mixed reaction in the faces of the high mages, she did well in the test but she wasn't some one meant to be at the forefront her elements were support types and was extremely good, but for the chosen ones whose main goal was to destroy the demons and stop the war being a support type wasn't really ideal, although she had the rest attributes as well and she could equally fight she was an asset that the group couldn't put in danger.Applauses were made by all the mages present including the Archmage, support types mages were scarce and extremely important, they can significantly increase the fighting potential of their group, but alone they are mostly defenseless but I don't think our talented mage here would have that problem."Your enchantment abilities can b
Nicholas breathed in and out before placing his hands on the orb, everyone held their breath and was looking expectantly except Carter who looked grumpy, the rest teenagers were still looking thesame, it was just the high mages that was looking expectantly.But everyone's expectations was dashed after he placed his hands in it for about ten seconds, but nothing happened, Nicholas started sweating more, he removed his hands from the orb and then placed them back again, this time the orb glowed a deep black colour (????), there was no description so it just alot of question marks and something strange happened, the orb cracked starting from a single line before forming a long web and then scattered into pieces."What just happened?" Nicholas asked confused and was looking at the Archmage."Hmm this has never happened before, it seems you are attribute less or the black attribute couldn't be read, there is no record of such an attribute in the history of the mages" Archmage Chandelier sa
After going through some stairs, they arrived to a corridor containing six rooms, with three room each in the left and right side, the surrounding was made up of a dark grey colour, the building looking simple, and each person has his or her own room."Alright the boys would be at the left side and the girls would be at the right side, you all have a bell close to your bed in your rooms, if you need anything important or something happened you can ring the bell, your meals would be sent to you shortly" Rosetta said that and excused herself, she wasn't a babysitter that she would monitor their every move and they were grown up already.As soon as she left, the atmosphere became tense, "Do all of you believe everything they said?" Lily asked feeling a little out of place, she was the type that would doubt everything, and would want to hear other opinions."I don't think they are lying to us and I don't see any reason for them to lie to us" Derrick responded after the question was made.
Meanwhile back at the gathering of the high mages when Rosetta returned, the discussion began."Oh Rosetta take a seat, we were just about to start" Archmage Chandelier said towards Rosetta who just entered the hall, she bowed a bit towards the Archmage before taking her seat."What do all of you think about the chosen children? all six of them" Archmage Chandelier asked while looking at all the high mages, this was a question for all of them and if they made the right decision by bringing in the chosen ones (the six teenagers) of the prophesy."They are all talented, even more so than us, if they could be trained well, they could probably end the war" high mage Gragtos replied the Archmage, his voice was heavy but it didn't sound different from before.High mage Darius yawned before apparently saying "there is one abnormality, did we make a mistake selecting that one, the rest of the kids were promising except him, are you sure we didn't make a mistake in the selection?" Darius asked
The next morning came, it was just about 6:00am, the first person to get up disturbing the peace of the teenagers was Carter, who seemed to be full of energy, he went to each door hitting hard and screaming ""rise and shine sleepy heads"" It was annoying to the rest teenagers, even Derrick couldn't hold it in anymore and shouted back "shut the fuck up, you fucking idiot" but that was not enough to calm the energetic boy, he kept on screaming for them to wake up, until finally Ivy went out with bloodshot eyes, looking as scary as ever."If I hear your screaming again or you banging at my door again, I will so fucking kill you" after Ivy said that, she immediately went back to her room and slammed the door.Carter grinned he wanted to continue shouting and banging each door but a maid came and said he was disturbing the peace of the mage tower, that they would all be summoned at the appropriate time before leaving Carter who went back to his room disappointed...It was 9:00am when th
