Chapter Two – Introductions

We walked to a huge, grey building thing. Dilandau led me through a series of winding hallways only to reach what seemed to be a small office. Lit torches illuminated the room, giving it an eerie glow. It was then that I felt a different presence behind me. I turned around to see a tall man with spiky blue-silver hair, deep red eyes, and a long, black cloak standing there with an unreadable expression.
"Hello and welcome. My name is Folken Fanel, more commonly known as Strategos." I noticed he didn't offer me his hand. (Wonder why?) "And whom do I have the pleasure of meeting?"
"Shani sir. Pleased to meet you."
"Well la dee da. The time is ticking and I'm not getting any younger. Spill it Strategos, what is she here for?" I narrowed my eyes at him, what did he mean?
"She is our seer," Folken replied.
"What am I here for?" I asked bewildered.
"Nothing at the moment," replied Folken. This conversation was going nowhere and it really was frustrating me. I was tired, lost, lonely, and confused.
"I don't understand. I am NOT a seer, I do not know where the hell I am. AND I WANT TO GO HOME!" The two men were taken aback for a second after my outburst, but Folken quickly regained his composure.
"I'm sorry for looking over these facts. You really must be exhausted. I will show you to your room," Folken said. "After you."

As we were walking down the hallways, Folken said, "I noticed you carry a sword with you. Do you know how to wield it?"
"Hell yeah." He sort of smiled down at me. "Very well then Shani. Tomorrow we will see that you are evaluated." We stopped at a door. "Here is your room. I hope you have a good night's sleep. Someone will escort you around tomorrow." Saying this he left abruptly. I found the room pleasant, even though it was very plain. The walls were painted some sort of grey or white, there was a middle-sized bed on one side, and on the other side there was a desk, dresser and a washroom. I washed up quickly and I fell in a deep, dreamless sleep with a nagging feeling that I had met Folken somewhere before.
