Judgment of the Soul.
by Ulrich362
A man in a dark green cloak slowly walks down a long white hallway. The only sound being that of his footsteps as he slowly approaches a large door before it opened revealing five cloaked figures in a large white chamber.
"I take it you have a good reason for this delay?" questioned a man in an orange cloak.
"Yes, I had a personal matter to attend to." the man in the green cloak explained calmly. "Of course I assure you this meeting is still my top priority."
"For your sake I hope that's the truth." threatened a man in a white cloak before he drew a sword.
"Settle down, fighting amongst ourselves will only result in us accomplishing nothing. If the dangers your friend warned you of are true we need to be certain that not only are they ready but he is as well." said a man in a purple cloak.
"You're right, as usual. Still the fact remains that we don't even know of their identities, and as for him how will he even meet with the others?" the man in the green cloak asked.
"I've already taken that into consideration, my associate will provide the means for them both to enter the city." the man in the purple cloak said calmly.
"That should be more than adequate. As for the one in my care I can assure you she will meet up with them once they arrive." the man in the green cloak said calmly.
"In that case all that's left is to wait for the first trial to begin." said a boy in a blue cloak. "This should be quite entertaining."
"I suppose that's one way of looking at it, though we still need to make sure they gain enough strength to overcome the danger they'll face." said a man in a red cloak.
"Very true, of course before we leave is there any other matters we should address?" asked the man in the orange cloak.
"I don't believe there is anything else, though do give your friend our regards." the man in the green cloak said calmly.
"Trust us, he already knows." the man in the white cloak said coldly.
"In that case we'll attend to our own designs, if it becomes necessary we will meet again." the man in the white cloak stated before a flash of light filled the room leaving only the men in the green, red, and purple cloaks.
"I should be getting back as well." the man in the purple cloak said calmly.
"Actually, would you mind waiting for a moment. There's something I'd like to discuss with the two of you if you can spare the time." the man in the green cloak asked calmly. "I assume you know that our associates have their own agenda and may prove to be a hindrance to the future of the city."
"What are you talking about?" the man in the red cloak asked.
"You must have realized it, the three of them possess the power to travel back and forth through time. It's entirely possible their goals involve the destruction of our city." the man in the green cloak suggested.
"Then what do you suggest?" the man in the purple cloak asked.
"Simple, we stay in contact and give them the means to stop their plans before they can be completed." the man in the green cloak said calmly.
"You do realize what you're suggesting don't you?" questioned the man in the purple cloak.
"Of course I do, however we can't afford to take any risks. If what they told us is accurate the seven of them are the only hope our world has for its survival." the man in the green cloak said.
"Alright, we'll consider your suggestion." the man in the red cloak said.
"That's all I can ask of the two of you." the man in the green cloak said calmly before the three of them left the chamber.

"That concludes today's lesson, are there any questions?" asked an older woman.
"No professor." said a group of duel academy students.
"Well then, class dismissed." the older woman said calmly before the students started leaving the classroom. "Oh, Luke could I ask you something?"
"Of course professor, what do you need?" asked a blonde boy with white eyes.
"You live in the same building as the twins Leo and Luna correct?" the older woman asked calmly.
"Yes, do you need me to bring them something?" Luke asked. (1)
"Actually young man, I'm the one who'd like you to deliver something to miss Luna." said a voice from behind him.
"Huh, who are you?" Luke asked.
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Lazar." Explained a purple haired man with clown make-up on his face. "I am the vice director of Sector Security."
"Oh, what do you need me to deliver to those two sir?" Luke asked nervously.
"It's really quite a simple delivery, director Goodwin wanted you specifically to hand this envelope to them." Lazar explained revealing an envelope. "I trust you'll be capable of delivering it to them unopened?"
"Yes." Luke answered taking the envelope. "I'll make sure to get this to them."
"See to it that you do." Lazar stated. "Now then, I have other pressing matters to attend to so I'll take my leave."
With those words Lazar walked out of the classroom.
"Professor, aren't Leo and Luna the twins that haven't come to school in years?" Luke asked.
"They have permission, it's a unique circumstance for them." the older woman explained calmly. "Now unless you wanted to ask me anything else you're dismissed."
"Right, I'll see you tomorrow professor." Luke said before walking out of the classroom.

"I trust you gave him what I asked of you?" asked a man in a grey suit.
"Of course director Goodwin." Lazar replied calmly. "Though if you don't mind me asking, why have a random student deliver that to them?"
"I have my reasons Lazar, and it is vital that he be the one to give them the information contained within that envelope." Goodwin stated calmly.
(Six mysterious figures are preparing for an unknown threat in the near future, and a duel academy student has been told to deliver something to twins named Leo and Luna. Next chapter Luke will deliver the envelope to them. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
(1) (Leo and Luna live on the top floor of their building; Luke lives on a lower floor in the same building.)
