Nyx's POV:

We were supposed to meet with the principal directly after the opening ceremony, or at least that was what she had said. As soon as the final clap resounded in the theatre, I got out from my seat and stretched, feeling the aching cramps in my legs. What? We had been sitting there for the past two hours, after all…

Ms. Ayane waited patiently for us to gather in front of her before walking off. Me and Luna shared a confused look, while Evie shrugged and followed her. Warrior and Queen were walking together while Gocty strayed behind at the back.

I winced a little at the bright lighting of the room we were led into. My eyes were already adjusted to the dim lighting of the auditorium, and this literally stung my eyes… I blinked rapidly to get used to my surroundings before listening to the principal talk. Whatever she wanted to say, it had to be important.

"You're the six new protector's of our lands, girls," She sighed, running her gaze through us with those sharp eyes of hers. I unconsciously flinched ever so slightly at the look, as if she was digging out all our secrets- but I managed to mask that shock anyway. "That means you're in charge of any danger we're in, and you will have to risk your life willingly for anything and everything."

Then, the next words she spoke caused us all to step back in fear. "If you don't want to have such a deadly commitment, then it seems we have made the wrong choice. Step out now if you have the slightest inkling of fear inside you."

I'm not afraid, I told myself firmly. I have to do this no matter what. And I really did feel unstoppable for a while, like nothing was beneath me anymore. I felt light and strong, but then that feeling faded away just as quickly as it had came. I saw my friends looking at me, and Evie mouthed a silent Are you OK?

I nodded slightly and drew myself up so I stood straighter. A warm smile appeared on the principal's face as she looked at us, nodding in approval. "Good," She told us. "And now, we will begin the transfer of the Chosen Ones." I felt my throat go dry, trying to replicate that feeling I had just now, but failing miserably.

Six women stepped out of the shadows, and I inspected them closely. They looked completely different from each other, yet something linked them all together. I didn't know what it was, but I guess… I would find out in due time? An inkling of us, the new warriors reflected in their eyes- was that what we were destined to become?

The woman who wore mostly black and purple looked at me with cold eyes. The only thing standing out from her half-monochromatic outfit was her glowing saffron on a choker that rested against her neck. Golden eyes stared at me, and I instantly felt the need to prove myself to this previous Night Warrior. I will be better than you.

The protectors each walked to their respective heirs of the power, and as the woman rested her palm on my forehead, I felt a telepathic message being sent into my mind. You make a good Warrior. I'm happy to transfer my power to you.

Something that felt like guilt gnawed at me, knowing that I might not be able to be who she expected me to be.


Gocty's POV:

The power transfer was a mysterious event. The hum of energy sounded loudly in the area as I felt my trainer's palm glow brightly. The glow put me in a sort of trance-like state as my mind went into a blank. The hypnotic light blinked and swayed in front of me as the only thing that went through my mind were murmurs of how this was actually happening.

The woman's purple hair fell loose of her ponytail, and I saw her kind brown eyes beaming at me encouragingly. You can do it, she said as I felt myself being lifted into the wonders of true magic in its purest and most powerful form. Was this setting of a magenta and white galaxy universal to what my friends were feeling as well? Or was it unique to the Mind Psion?

Power that I had never felt before coursed through my body. At first, I resisted it and my body started to tremble in pain. It was too pure, too much, and I felt a temporary force overwhelm my senses completely. The only thing I could hear was my faint screaming echoing in the distance and a warm hand grabbing mine in comfort.

Just… go with it… I thought painfully, somehow finding the answer through my haze of agony. I hesitantly let myself relax, and then excruciating pain shot through me. I opened my mouth to scream again, before I felt everything change- for the better.

The blinding torment was replaced by a different, odd feeling of warmth. Not the burning fire that seemed to tear away at my insides, but this was pure liquid comfort that flowed through me slowly and gently, effortlessly melting away pain, doubts and everything that seemed negative in the slightest away for just a split second.

That moment of heaven was enough for me, was what I told myself as I felt my body being lowered to the ground. Stars seemed to flash in front of me as my head throbbed, but I managed to stand up, taking a good look at my friends. They seemed the same, but our appearances had changed slightly.

Luna's black eyes had gained ocean blue flecks that seemed to dance in the light, and glowing dark blue streaks decorated her light blue hair. Warrior's brown and purple streaked hair now had the faintest tints of neon white at the ends, and her eyes had gained silver flecks. Queen's black eyes had a golden tint to it as well as gold highlights in her black hair. Evie's long brown hair was now streaked with purple, and her maroon eyes seemed electric with the same colour. Nyx's pale, oddly coloured eyes now had dark shadows cast over them from time to time and glowing, pale blue ends.

I tilted my head, and somehow I knew my appearance as well. a pink-maroon glowing tint to my eyes, and a lock of my long hair that was dyed maroon. We all looked at the adults oddly. Strangely enough, the old Night Warrior was the one who stepped up to explain things to us.

"This will be just one of your forms when you reach certain extents of your ability. This is just the lowest-ranked one, so don't be too happy." With that, our new highlights and eye colours started to fade. "We, even though our powers are now gone, will be your mentors. We'll teach you how to be a Protector and the price that comes with the honour of being one."

Queen shot me a weirded-out look and the message entered my mind. I guess smooth telepathic communication was one of the perks of our newfound abilities… Wait, does that mean Ms. Ayane is my mentor?! I shrugged, and for the first time today, I let out a carefree smile as I tried to refrain from snickering at the discovery.

Instinctively, we all moved a step closer to the people who would be running our lives for what looked like the next year. The woman in charge of me smiled delicately, and I managed a polite one back. I had sure gotten lucky for my mentor. Then, she took my hand. "Follow me." I tilted my head at her in confusion.

"Where?" I asked, and it was Ms. Ayane that spoke first. "Where every batch of new protectors go first," She stated. "The weaponry."


I walked beside Nyx the entire way. It was kind of ironic- darkness and psychic were two opposing elements, yet we were best friends. Yet, it felt like something was off about her this year. She seemed more reserved, sensitive and quiet. Usually, since she had known me for about five years, she usually tried to start a conversation, but this time, she had just said "Hi" and stopped talking to me altogether.

Just then, I saw her flinch for no reason at all and her eyes flashed an electric blue. What the actual hell?

Sighing, I pushed away the worry for my friend and entered the large room. It was filled with weapons of every shape and size, and there were some that I had never even heard of before. And I had researched on weapons before. Let's just say… it's pretty rare for me not to know a weapon.

Ms. Ayane gestured for us to go ahead. "Pick a maximum of three weapons," She instructed. I looked around. What would be suitable for a Mind Psion like me? From what I had read, they mostly dealt with long-distance attacks. I selected a slim staff that strengthened and aided magic and psychic spells before moving on to find the next.

I saw the spear hanging casually from my mentor's shirt, and almost fingered one gingerly, about to pick the same weapon, but decided against it. After all, I was more of, well, a magic practitioner unlike people like Evie and Luna who were more experienced with physical attacks. I took a good look at a glowing, scythed orb that hung on a chain. I swung it around, testing it out, and I nearly got a heart attack when stars started to shoot out at lightning speed and one of them hit Nyx in the head.

I apologised at once as the girl looked at me with an extremely annoyed expression. "Why is she like this?" I muttered to myself before looking at the shelves once again for my third and final weapon. It would preferably have to be a physical one, because only focusing on one type of attack would put me at a huge disadvantage.

Then, I felt an aura humming around me. Spinning around, I saw the sword lying abandoned on a shelf. It was silver, but it glowed faintly with a brilliant, pale pink light. It was about the size of an average sword, but it seemed lighter than a normal one. I touched the metal lightly, and gasped as a painful zip of energy traveled down my body.

Immediately, I grasped the hilt of the sword, but I felt dizziness rushing to my head. I felt myself falling into unconsciousness, with a sweet but maniacal voice that rang in my head, seeming too familiar…

"This world has melt down…"


Cliffhanger :3 Thanks Gocty for the advice. In time to come, we'll have individual chapters but for now... meh. With that, critiques welcome and please review! *salutes* Nyx out! :)
