Arriving back at school, the new second and third years were given the first week off to get settled into their new rooms; thanks to Miss Silver and the Sergeant, the boy's rooms were on the same floor and next to each other, the same thing for the girls.

After settling in, the crew decided to meet by the lake for a picnic; now that their dorms and lecture halls had been changed, they would have to leave their former secret spot for the new first years to enjoy.

"I couldn't help but feel bad for the first years after their trials, friends betraying friends when they are all going to be fighting side by side in the war," Maya said; her hair was longer now with a tint of green in its blonde colour.

"It's a natural process; they start out craving power just like some of our mates did. Then, along the way, they learn the importance of unity and togetherness," Angelo explained.

    "Brandon, Brandon, wake up, we are going to be late for our first class" Bruce called as he rushed into the bathroom to get ready, Brandon lazily dragged himself out of bed, he gazed across the dorm room as a gentle smile appeared on his face, he was finally at the one and only Blue River Academy, the most prestigious and the best school in all of Eleanor. He and his childhood best friend, Bruce Devin both got admitted on scholarships, and coincidentally became dorm mates or so they thought. Brandon waited for a few minutes before Bruce came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist and one wrapped around his hair causing Brandon to chuckle, "Don't say it" Bruce warned, "Don't say what?"

    The bus drove for about an hour before stopping at a large clearing near a cliff, the man that made the announcement alighted holding something that looked like an oversized briefcase, "A portable portal device, i guess they are more paranoid about the dark race and the missing students than Bruce" Brandon said to himself, The portal device was dropped at the centre of the clearing and upon activation it began to spread and increase in size to form a door-like structure which golwed with a blue hue, a group of men also dressed in military attire stepped through the portal and began picking up the students one by one and taking them through the portal,as Brandon was carried past the earlier official, he heard him whisper, "I know you weren't asleep kiddo" Which caused a shiver to run down Brandon's spine, As he was taken through the portal he found himself being dropped in a large metallic room which he estimated was as big as their entire school but, one thing that piqued Brandon

    The ride back to school was a gloomy one, the students had already been woken up when they were still a thirty- minute drive away from the school, rather than being chatty and excited, some were terrified, now that everyone of them had been ranked, there was sure to be some bullying especially for the F rank mages who although were more numerous but were still far to weak to go against the higher ranks in their class not to mention the other classes.Out of a total of one hundred students, fifty were F rank mages, twenty five were E rank mages, eighteen were D rank mages and the remaining seven were C rank mages,All military academies at the time believed in survival of the fittest, the teachers had been instructed not to interfere in any fights unless it was life threatening or causing destruction of property, this meant for the weak the school would be hell on earth unless they formed alliances with higher rank mages which meant becoming their lackeys."What are you going to do the

I brought him here yesterday after we got bullied" Bruce asked,"yes, he asked for directions to the school gym, poor chap probably wants to learn to defend himself not that one can blame him" The nurse replied,"Okay, thank you ma'am, I will take my leave now" Bruce said as he bade her goodbye,He walked across the school not minding that they were already late for class, he got to the hallway leading to the gym but went in the opposite direction which led to the cafeteria, he pushed the doors open to find a Cyan green haired teenager sitting on the floo

    The moment they walked into the large hall, all eyes fell on them, they could hear a lot of whispering and a few surprised gasps, It was safe to say, the two boys that ran off didn't tell just the sergeant but, apparently also told their entire class,"Oh my gosh, isn't that the boy that was supposedly killed by Bob's group?" A blonde haired girl asked,"I think so but, he doesn't look dead to me" another one replied in shock,"Maybe it's was an ability" someone said,"ability? but how? none of us have awakened yet" another replied confused,The Class whispers and murmurs kept on going until,"SILENCE!!!!!!ALL OF YOU!!!" a loud menacing voice boomer across the room, startling the students to silence, they looked around but couldn't find the source of the voice,Then in the middle of the class, a whirl wind could be seen forming,it first of all started slowly then suddenly picked momentum before dispersing and right where it was stood an old man with white hair and a long white beard,

Brandon asked quietly,"Hmm, just return to your seat for now" the old man finally said after a few seconds,"I must warn my Lord about this child, he might become a threat to the foreign race, we must get rid of him" the old man mumbled to himself,Brandon nervously obliged, he walked back to his seat amist the stares and murmurs of the students in his year,"What did you think happened?" One student whispered,"Maybe, he couldn't get an affinity" another replied,"But the crystal lit up" a third student chirped in,"Yeah, but it didn't have a specific form like how it did for the others" the first replied,"Silence, next person Alexander Benjamin Moore" the old man yelled,Alec gave Brandon a pat on the back before moving towards the platform,

    After claiming the weapons, Bruce and Brandon walked back out of the respective rooms, hoping to thank the Sphinxes before leaving, but found the temple entirely empty."Where could they have gone?" Brandon asked."A better place, I hope" Bruce replied as he noticed the heaps of sand where the Sphinxes previously stood."Well, we have what we came here for; let's go,", Brandon said, swinging the staff by his side."Yeah, everything about the weapon feels worth it, even the design". Bruce said, admiring the intricate blue carvings that formed diagrams of every lightning-wielding supernatural; Brandon's staff had a similar look, the only difference being that his had fire-wielding supernatural with a beautiful red hue in addition to the orange colour.Noticing a new door, the pair stepped through to find themselves in a large hallway with drawings and writings of alien origin on both sides of the wall."Looks like an origin story of some sort," Bruce said."The drawings are so life-like

    As they flew through the night skin, curtains of light appeared in the sky, like the northern lights back on Earth but more prominent and heading in a particular direction."The Aurora borealis" Came a slight whisper from Bruce."You are awake, how are you feeling?" Brandon asked."Better than I should, where's Nicole?" Bruce said."He's flying behind us" Brandon replied."Flying? Oh my!!!" Bruce exclaimed gripping unto Brandon tight as he looked down."Relax, I have got you," Brandon said."Right, will we be able to make it in one night?" Bruce asked."I don't know" Brandon sighed.They flew for a few more hours, following the trail of light. There were a few occasional screeches and growls from below, but none could reach them; disappointed expressions appeared on their faces as the sun peeped from behind the sandy mountains."We should continue on foot. You guys can rest your wings, and I sort of need to take the piss", Bruce said.Spreading his senses around the areas, he landed,

Brandon asked."They understand my reasons, these are tough times and a lot of kids your age come out here in hopes of finding something to help them make a living, most never return, I myself have witnessed too many young deaths to count, it's why we offer our protection to young mercenaries without having them joining us" Harvey explained."Thank you, that's very kind of you; we will see you around,", Brandon said."Hey Harvey, should we follow t
