Emil was shocked. "Why am I up here? I know didn't bomb the tests, but I didn't do so well either. What ever the reason, it fells good to be this high-up in the school. Everyone is cheering, but it couldn't be for me. I sat in the back, and nobody could tell that I am of Lancaster blood. For one, they were more into blades and axes;I use a hammer. They were shorter, and well I am much taller." Emil was lost in thought and jumped when a voice came booming from the loudspeaker, which was right above him. It sounded to be an older person,"The Dean?" Emil wondered. He payed close attention to what he had to say.
"Welcome first year Lancaster students! This year promises to be a good one, considering the scores of your Alpha Squad. As you know, this is a celebration for your fellow classmates. They will represent all of you in competition and completing missions in your names. Each victory for them is a victory for all of us. They gave it their all to get into this squad and earned it through sweat and blood."
Emil was glad that they weren't told he was a Lancaster. That makes it all the much better. At the same time, he thought that if they were told that maybe he'd feel a bit more welcome. The Dean continued on, and Emil listened again.
"But now, the main event of the ceremony! The Alpha Team will demonstrate their abilities to all of you as they perform in the annual squad vs. squad kick off! This year's competitors will be the Alpha Squad the Sahri School of Battle. Of course we'll all watch here, but you will encounter each other at your destination. You guys were just going to fight each other, but something more interesting came up. It seems that a large colony of vicious insect-like demons has taken nest near campus under the radar. They're large powerful beasts and should be dealt with quickly. Their venom is lethal and their claws can shred so you can't go easy on them. Sahri will be there as well..."
"Of course.. demons.. It couldn't just be fighting with some normal person, it has to be demons!" Emil was a little angry that the staff were to lazy to do their own exterminating and sending first year students out to do it. "But, on the other hand, I have never fought a demon. It could make me stronger." The Dean had even more to say. Emil wasn't to keen upon listening this time, so he just tried picking up what he thought was important. When the old man had shut up, Emil started away on what he picked up. "OK, I have something about, Sahri will not be aiding us, so we can kick their ass.. and we need to get a blood sample and return it first.." The students down below started cheering again, large smiles on their face. In his opinion they were cheering for the one with the sword and shield. "Hmph" he grunted taking back his position on the wall. The hammers on his back were heavy, but not as heavy as when he first tried using them. They felt like they were 30 pounds or so, still to much weight to be lugging around. "At least it builds my strength.." Emil looked down as the cheers got louder and louder. That guy with the shield seemed to be super accepting with all of it. It wasn't that Emil wasn't, he just wasn't in the mood.
Emil blinked, the world around him seemed to pause. There was no sound, no one was moving, except him and that person coming closer. The person looked to be about twenty-three, twenty-four.. and very pretty. As she came close to him she opened her mouth to speak.
"Hello, Emil Lancaster." she said in a very soft, harmonizing voice.
"Wh-who are you?"
"I am Sheila"
"Sheila?"
"Yes, you know the dragon you were linked to at birth?"
Emil nodded.
"I am his mother.. I just want you to know that he is a bit energetic and likes to play. That sometimes it takes a bit to get him to work. Oh, and also that his name his Drizz."
Emil had a few questions but the girl was gone. In the real world not a second had passed, the clocks hand finished it's movement, that was just paused. "Hmm.. what was that all about?" He wondered, but just shrugged it off as him being delusional.
