-There was supposed to be one more of them, but that person was the enemy-
Upon arriving at Greenhaven Castle the kids were given a tour of the fortress-like castle, then met up in a training room and were left there with a man that had brown hair and a lynx. They sat there in silence for what seemed like eternity until finally, Leo broke the silence,
"Isn't there supposed to be five of us?"
"Yes, but we have been unable to locate her. We are hoping our foreseer will find her location soon."
"So we are going to have another girl? I hope she likes having her hair done," Angel happily clapped.
" Lets hope she's not with the enemy," Gale chipped in.
"Alright, lets first begin with a little bit about ourselves, then we train. I will go first. My name is Firnen, I come from Amaya, and my partner here is Frost she can be serious during battle. But I like to take walks with her through the forest. Alright, who's next?" Leo and Gale both shot their hands up and Firnen pointed at
Leo.
"Yo! My name is Leo, I come from Xin Kao Dailin, Zhong and my partner behind me is Renegade the Homotherium, so far I have learned how to control little pebbles thanks to her ability to control them." Firnen then pointed at Gale.
"Hey, the name is Gale, I come from Concorba, Amaya and this is Shuriken the Red Tailed Hawk. He likes to sometimes perch on my shoulder and so far I have learned how to create shurikens out of wind." Firnen pointed at Angel next and she flipped her hair.
"How do you do? I am Angel, I come from Caltair, Eura. This is Haven, the Irish Elk. She seems to like the purple ribbon I put on her ear." Firnen finally pointed at Marko and Marko jumped a little because he was playing with Apocalypse's jaws.
"You and Apocalypse seem to be getting along fine. Now tell us a little about yourself." implied Firnen
"Oh, I'm Marko I come from Hundred Isles, Oceanus and this is Apocalypse the Salt Water Crocodile. Don't worry though I'm not the Devourer. Apocalypse and I are getting along so far, I can even summon him into passive state."
"That is very peculiar. It usually takes a little while longer for people to summon them into passive state. But now that's done let us begin the training session. I want to assess your current abilities. First, I will evaluate your speed and stamina by having you run around the room. Then, I will evaluate your strength by having you punch that punching bag made out of straw. Next, I will evaluate your foot work by having you spin around until you're dizzy and then trying to run to that red x. Finally, I will see how well you are bonded with your spirit animal by having you blind folded and trying to point to where your animal is. Is that clear?"
Everyone nodded in respond "Alright, let's get this show on the road." Firnen exclaimed.
The kids lined up in a line and took their starting positions. Firnen was by a bell "Start running on the bell," DING! They all took off with Gale in the lead followed by Leo, Marko, then Angel. They ran 5 laps in total with Gale finishing first, Marko second, Angel third, and Leo last. "Gosh darn it! I hate being last." Leo said kicking the wall. Angel chuckled at him "Well somebody seems a bit cocky." Gale put his arm around Leo's shoulders "I can tell you and I are going to be great friends!" Marko smiled at them. "Good, you guys are starting to get along. But it's time for the second test everyone line up in front of the dummy. Gale you go last since you won the last test."
"Aw man, that's no fun, but ok."
First up was Leo, he made his hand into a fist and wound up and punched the dummy straight in the stomach. The dummy swung back and hit the wall and continued swinging for a while. Next up was Angel, she punched the bag and it swung a little. Then it was Marko's turn he punched it and it swung a little less than Leo's but it didn't hit the wall. Last, it was Gale's turn it swung a fair amount just in between Angel's swing and Marko's.
"Alright you all are doing good for your first time. Next you guys must take turns spinning in circles then try to get to that red X in the wall over there. Leo you get to go last this time since you won the strength test and Gale you go second to last."
Gale and Leo both groaned at that. "Oh um... you can go first Angel," Marko stammered "Hmph, prepare to be amazed boys," Angel smirked and gracefully glided up to a white circle in the middle of the room. "Are you ready?" Firnen asked "Yes indeed," Angel responded.
Firnen whistled and Angel began spinning in place, it took a while for her to get dizzy, but she took off and made it to the x on her first try. Next, was Marko it took him 2 times to find the x. When it was Gale's turn he ran into the wall that the x was in and Leo found the x after 2 tries.
Firnen gave them a 5 minute break then they did the final test. He had each of them put on blind folds and had them go to the center of the room. He then moved their spirit animals to different areas of the training room. Shuriken was on a beam at the top of the very high roof on the right, Renegade was on the left side of the room, Apocalypse was 5 feet in front of Angel, and Haven was behind Angel. "Alright, point to where you think your spirit animal is."
WACK! Gale and Leo slapped each other in the face when pointing. They didn't yell at each other they just said ow and began laughing.
"What in the 4 Fallen just happened?" asked Marko.
"I accidentally hit somebody," said Leo and Gale at the same time.
"Leo?"
"Gale?"
"Yup!" they said at the same time again and began laughing again.
"Yes, yes, that was funny can you two boys stop clowning around so we can get this over with?" chipped in Angel.
The two boys apologized and began pointing.
"Marko, you are pointing right at Apocalypse well done. Leo, you have the right idea, but your off just a little. Angel, you have got the right side of the room just not the right place. Gale, you are way off try feeling your bond and connection with Shruiken a little more from now on ok? You may now take your blindfolds off our training for today is done."
Everyone took off their blindfolds and placed them in a basket that was on one of the shelves in the training area and went to the middle of the room to meet with Firnen. But immediately they heard the giant doors of the room crash open and in came Lenori, out of breath, followed by her Rainbow Ibis.
"Firnen!... I had a vision... of where the 5th Lost Soul is..."
" Lenori?! Catch your breath first, have you told Olvan." Lenori nodded and finally caught her breath and looked up at Firnen with scared eyes.
"Where is she then?"
"Stetroil."
