"I´m telling you, this is all pointless.¨ We entered to see are companions awake and chatting."
"what is pointless, Ama?¨ Leaf asked. Ama looked back at her with a blank expression. I sensed that she was only using her face as a facade, her emotional state was full of guilt.
Ama Ranger was one of my companions from the temple. She has brown hair which she usually had dyed. Currently she had a segment on the right side of her face colored green, presumably helping represent her new name. Her eyes were a vibrant blue, which was a constant reminder of Sapphire. She was currently wearing a black top and pants, this was what she always wore to sleep in. There is an entire rack filled with her cookie-cutter sleepwear. She normally wore a black t-shirt with a camouflage vest over top of it. Her jeans were, you guessed it, black, though most had assorted holes mostly in the knees from previous battles. Her shoes were unsurprisingly black combat boots, most were also worn from combat. She was abnormally tall for being a women which added to her already intimidating figure. I kept noticing something about her that I didn't fully get.
'I´m sure it was nothing, right Mazon.' My male companion snapped back into focus. His full name was Mazon Hunter. He was the only other boy in the group. He had blond hair that was crew-style. His forehead was covered in pimple scars from when he had longer hair. His eyes were a more tame brown color, contrasting Ama's eyes. He wore a necklace that had a symbol of the jedi order on it. He currently kept it covered up underneath his shirt as I had ordered him to. He was wearing a white pair of pajamas that were covered in polka-dots. I constantly hear Leaf teasing him about them. He normally wore a green hoodie that was contrasted by his athletic black pants. He usually had on some assorted black sneakers from a nearby cobbler shop. He was rather short which gave him another contrast to Ama. He was as you assumed, a much less intimidating member of our group.
"Of course, Ethan, why wouldn't it be." This didn't seem to ease Leaf´s thoughts in the slightest. Leaf, as I neglected to mention earlier, had black hair, the same as mine, that went past her shoulders. She didn't have any bangs and her eyes were green, same shade as mine. Hers however were not bloodshot though I could see that she was still tired from the marks around her eyes. Her skin was quite tan unlike the rest of the group. She was wearing her usual attire from being in the town. It was a leaf-green shirt combined with her trademark 'combat skirt.' She wore her black tennis shoes, they were new from a store here in Vale.
"Whatever. Though Ethan, why are you having us say are fake names.?"
"Because those are our names now. The life we had before is utterly ruined. If we are to blend in tomorrow, we have to use are fake names, so get used to it." They all looked at me, confused by my sudden outburst.
"So, why did you guys go out?" Mazon said, ending the awkward silence.
Leaf being Leaf said, "Well I went to pick up my new weapon from the blacksmith, but after I was robbed, or they tried to rob me. Ethan met up with me there and we headed back."
"Do you remember the part where I helped you defeat the robbers companions," I said, playfully.
"Not at all, I think you must be mistaken," she responded. This helped bring us into a more comfortable environment.
"Well we should all get some sleep, Tomorrow won't be the easiest day of our time in Vale. We all eventually fell asleep, though I was constantly was awoken by my visions of Sapphire.
"I'll never forgive you."
I awoke with a start again. Leaf was sitting in her bed, staring over at me. I peeled my sheets of my sweating body and sat up. She was still watching me with worry. I looked at the clock and realized we only had an hour to get to the shuttle.
"Get Mazon and Ama up, we have to get going. The shuttle leaves in an hour," I told her as I headed to the locker room.
"Seriously, is it even necessary to go to Beacon?"
"We need to stay in training. When they come for us and they will, we need to be ready."
Leaf and Ama were still arguing about going to Beacon. This had started this morning when Leaf work her up. She has been acting like a pain since then.
"We have an entire town filled with crime, you saw that last night. We should start there."
"That's a great idea, let's go out on the streets to cause a commotion. 4 saber-wielding vigilantes fight crime in Vale, what could go wrong?" Ama recognized the sarcasm and glared back at her. "Look, this isn't the time to be having this conversation."
"This is the last time to have this conversation," Ama interrupted, "soon we will be going there and I doubt our genious leader will leave when class starts."
To my surprise it was finally quiet. I turned around and realized that they were all looking at me. Before I could speak the background news feed switched off as someone who I can only assume is a staff leader appeared.
"Hello, and welcome to Beacon. My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world."
We noticed the rest of the students now focused on the view. I sensed that it was no coincidence for this to happen, someone was making them.
"Is this a better time to talk about this?" Ama said, glaring at Leaf.
"Why do you persist on this. Ethan said this was the plan, therefore-"
"Leaf," I interrupted, "If you want to not go to Beacon that is fine. We can take a vote. Who is in favor?" Everyone except Ama raised their hands. Ama glared at me, not fooled by my trick in the slightest. "We're going to Beacon."
I heard gagging coming from a student. He was drunkenly walking over to the trash can at the front of the door, startling people as he went. One particular student even started to run away from them. I recognized them from the fight last night, they were the scythe-wielder. As we exited the shuttle I heard the boy muttering.
"Why was I looking out the window, I know I dislike heights." The poor student had to face his fears, literally. I heard Ama snickering behind me as we walked out.
