"so Rae, if a situation like that happened to you again, do you think your reaction would change?" Dane asked, walking over to an empty table with a small bucket of blueberries. "Hmm…I don't think so. It might though, because I would remember more. I wouldn't just remember straight up 'wait, I have a dagger in my bag! How convenient!' I mean, I would know so much. Like where the dagger came from, and why it was in my bag. I don't know how that would change what I would do, but who knows." Rae replied, eating some oranges. "yea, I guess so. i think i would just crawl into a corner and hide, hoping that they would never find me. but, again, who knows?" Dane said, playing around with his blueberry pie.
"Hey, I was kinda wondering. Why do you like blueberries so much? Is it because you don't like anything else?" Rae asked. Dane tensed up slightly in his seat, making Rae think that she had done something wrong. "uh, well, it's kind of a long story that i would rather tell when we have more time. i mean, you have training in like, five minutes, don't you?" Dane mentioned, making Rae panic. "Oh shit! You're right! How long have we even been here anyway?" Rae asked, getting up and out of her seat. "uh, well, we kinda got lost on a couple of turns back there, so yea…anyway! training grounds aren't that far away from here. follow me!"
"yes! we got here in time! now go! i think nathan was helping out today, so if you see him, i think he'll help you out. i'll leave you to your training now. i don't know what you'll do, but they'll figure something out. bye!" Dane said, running away from the large area. "Wait, what? Oh, great. This'll be fun!" Rae said sarcastically, adding in jazz hands for random effect. The training area was about the size of a soccer field, if she had ever been bothered to go to one. Posts had been put up, dividing the area into smaller sections for different things. Archers were set up on one side, where as some elemental users were attacking some dummies made out of old sacks filled with some sort of wool for stuffing. Plenty of boxes were empty, and only twelve people were in those that weren't. "Well then! Now what am I going to do? Thanks heaps on that one Dane." Rae said to herself, before letting herself laugh. "Alright! Let's find what I'm meant to be doing in this…uh…thingy!"
Rae hadn't even gone two steps before she was surrounded by about seven of the twelve people that were training just a moment before. "Can I see your weapon?" "Do you have your powers yet?" "Hi!" "Do you wanna train with us?" Rae was overwhelmed with questions, before she tried to answer them best she could. "Uh, to answer a few of the questions I heard, no, I don't have my powers yet, my weapon is this dagger" She said, bringing it out of her sachet as she continued talking. "And, uh, hello! That's honestly all I could make out. Sorry if there were more." Rae finished. The area was filled with a soft muttering, before someone who was training came over. "Oi! What's going on? Why'd you all stop training? We've got work to do!" The voice said, before he broke through the small crowd of people that surrounded Rae.
A guy who looked like he was in his early twenties came through, but judging by what Rae had seen earlier, she guessed that he was about fifteen. He had black hair and dark, orange eyes. His skin was a dark brown, and he had a strong build. He was tall, and looked down at Rae with slight surprise. "Uh, hi! I'm Rae. I've only been here for a few days, so I don't really know how things work around here. So, uh, yeah." Rae said with uncertainty. The boy crouched down to match Rae's height, making everyone behind him step back slightly. He then got back up and held out his hand. "Hey there. We've been told that a new person would be coming over today. I guess this is what Adney meant. Alrighty then. Everyone get back to training. We'll have a break in an hour or so. Follow me to an empty booth Rae, and we'll get things started. Oh, by the way. The names Baylor. But I don't care what you call me. Go on everyone! Go off! Let's get training."
Hi everyone! I know I haven't been posting in a while, and I have no proper excuse for that. Not even a writers block. I'm going to try and post slowly, maybe one chapter every few days or so. If I stop posting again, then I'm sorry in advance. I don't have much else to say, except that I'm trying to get back on track. See you all later.
