DEATH CITY
It is a long journey through the hot, dry desert surrounding Death City. Ever since the battle between Arachnaphobia and the Kishin against the DMWA was won, many other countries helped with the city's cleanup. It's been a year and a half since the students or any families were let back into the city because of that. But now the city gates are open to them and for new potential students for the Academy after the successful revival of the city streets and homes. Also with Death's full recovery, the city was brought back to life with friendly leadership. He is always excited to see great potential in his future students as well as determination…
A teen arrives at the gates of Death City. She has rectangle glasses and is wearing black shorts, a yellow short sleeve shirt and had brown bulky sneakers. Her hair is somewhat curly and wavy up in a medium ponytail. She takes in a moment to admire the fine architecture of the city walls. A fine, smooth cement finish complements the colors of the large skull like Death's and pops of red points inside the city. She walks through the gates to a security hut. Lord Death had upped the security of his city to avoid any problems, no matter how small they may seem.
A man with a five o'clock shadow wearing a blue grey suit begins to talk across the counter, "Hello young lady, how can I help ya?"
She looked over at his name tag, which read Raye, "Uh, yes. I'm going to take the exam for the DMWA. My belongings should have been sent here prior? I should be on some sort of list…?"
He nodded, "Name please" He responded immediately, like it was a computer program, as he got out a sliver clipboard with dozens of papers gripped on it.
"Abie, Abie Swarm. Abie as in A, B, I, E." She raised her glasses as they slipped down her nose from the sweat due to the hot sun.
Conner took a quick flip of some papers then ran his fingers down the list for a minute. During this quick moment, Abie took a second to think about how everything will turn out for her enrollment exam.
"Abie C. Swarm, yes, you may pass." He gave a tip of his cap then pressed a button that cranked the gates open.
"Thanks Conn." He gave her a sudden raise of his eyebrow at the sound of the nickname. Abie speed walked through the gates whispering "That was SO stupid..."
CITY STREETS
Abie's shadow began to shift over to a certain side that seemed to avoid hitting the gates and walls later on. A quite voice gasped when Abie stepped out of the long hall from the gate entrance into a busy street.
"Wow is right. Look at this place!" Abie got wide eyes as they surveyed the houses, shops and restaurants. Many people walked the brick roads with children, groceries and pets; traveling from one place to another. "Doesn't it seem like nothing has happened here. Its amazing how well they fixed this place up after…"
A voice, a guy voice maybe a little more mature then Abie, added to her comment. "The Kishin was awoken and almost made the world mad? I agree, it almost appears peaceful. Doesn't it?"
She nodded, "Let's just find our housing unit. We could unpack enough stuff until we actually know if we are staying in Death City." Abie reached into her pocket and grabbed out a slip of folded paper. She started walking as she opened it up. "Gosh," she muttered.
"What is it?" The voice questioned.
"Ursa, we have a long way to walk." She responded, followed by his sigh.
