Chapter 2
A group of sixteen people were waiting patiently in a field while the rain continued falling through the night. They were all unique in there own way, but then, who isn't? They were all of different heights, builds, and genders. Not one of them was similar to another. Most of them sensed the expected arrival before they heard it, and a few saw him before they heard him. There was a slight breeze in the opposite direction of the wind, and then a figure in a long, black, hooded cloak appeared before them.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes." They replied in unison.
"Be warned, once you receive this gift, you will become immortal, unable to die by normal means. Are you prepared for this?
"Yes."
He sighed before adding, "As I knew you'd be." He raised his arms and the clearing lit up in bright light. When the light dimmed slightly, there were another sixteen figures standing in the clearing. They were made of a smoke that seemed to emit its own light. Without hesitation, they each moved towards the sixteen humans. As they each reached a person, they'd place their left hand on the person's right shoulder and just, disappear. The clearing was left significantly dimmer than befoee., although now the people seemed to emit an extremely dim glow of their own. Orion looked severely tired and just a bit sad. And yet he still found the energy to speak.
"And now," he whispered, "we bide our time, build our forces, and wait for the right time."
End of Chapter 2
I sincerely apologize for the shortness of this chapter. It just sorta came out that way. I hope you like it anyway though.
