Thus it begins
Romerix, Lunai and Zacharias walked up to the large golden front gates where a multitude of fellow adolescents were waiting, they were chatting amongst themselves some happened to be laughing and others having a friendly chat. Romerix and Lunai Feld their arms over their chests while Zacharias placed his hands upon his waist. "Lot of people here." Zacharias said with surprise. "Well duh it's opening day Zacharias." Lunai responded with an sarcastic attitude towards him.
"Come on Lunai Lighten up a little we are finally here I'm sure you could be happy about that right?" Romerix spoke to Lunai with a softer tone and a smile towards her, Lunai slowly looked towards Romerix with an annoyed frown which slowly faded away to a slight smile. "hmph Yeah...I guess you are right Romerix."
"Look at all these idiots thinking they'll be something so pathetic it's hilarious." Said an male adolescent with a smug expression and snarky and egotistical tone. Romerix's ears perked up to how he was speaking as he was not too particularly fond of someone acting better then everyone else. From hearing those words his head would turn to the right to stare at the adolescent who spoke in such a way.
"Who's that guy their?" the other two being confused looked into the direction Romerix was speaking of, Lunai looked in disgust while Zacharias looked bothered. "Eugh why is that idiot here?" she questioned. "That's Markarius Romerix... his father Obsidinite runs majority of the businesses here in Ruachaim so he thinks he's better then everyone because he's the richest guy her." Zacharias informed Romerix of who Markarius is, Romerix taking in the information without saying a word but simply staring at Markarius.
Markarius is the same age as Romerix at twenty years of age, curly auburn red hair, bright lime green hues. His frame is athletic with muscular definition and his attire made from finest linen and brown leather that can be found in Ruachaim. Markarius noticed Romerix was staring directly at him with a frown so in return he gave Romerix a smug expression. "What are you staring at huh got a problem?" he said to Romerix with attitude.
Romerix looked away from Markarius as to ignore him and not interact with him. And with that Markarius gave out a loud mocking scoff. Everyone's attention then was brought towards the golden front gate, it began to swing open with an audible creaking noise. Behind the opening gate is a rather tall and lean woman her eyes a piercing bright red, hair long and black with an aggressive scowl upon her features. She is dawned with a black armour with gold trim and the symbol of the academy upon the breast plate.
Her piercing gaze scanned those at the front gate noticing how most were intimidated by her gaze. "Welcome to Ruachaim Academy, I am Solaria now follow me." She spoke sternly and assertive. Hesitation met most of those at the gates, those who were not hesitant walked through the gates, the first two through were Markarius and Romerix followed by Lunai and Zacharias then the rest followed suit. "Here we will teach you the way of chai and how to harness it to use against any and all threats and for daily life." Solaria stated.
While walking through the front gardens of the academy everyone who was with solaria saw students talking amongst themselves, beautiful flowers of all sorts and a majestic fountain in the garden centre. Upon reaching the marble steps leading to two massive wooden doors, solaria stopped walking and turned around. "We will be heading to the main hall to wait for the gentlemen who will be helping with your physical training, in the mean time speak with students or have a look around the main hall but DONT LEAVE." She emphasised the last two words to show she is being highly serious.
With that she and everyone with her walked up the steps to the massive doors, the multitude of stepping being highly audible. Solaria opened the doors which lead to the main hall, the doors clunked and create loudly upon opening. The main hall revealed a twenty meter high by ten meter wide room with beautifully stained black marble flooring, large white marble pillars for support beams for the ceiling, red carpet that goes from the centre of the main hall and splits into two going up two stair wells that leads up to another door way, four large golden chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
Everyone is looking in awe of its beauty, Romerix's attention is drawn elsewhere, Lunai and Zacharias talk with a couple students from the academy, Markarius being snobby doesn't talk to anyone as he thinks himself to good to speak to commoners. The marble made an audible echo with each step underneath Romerix as he is drawn to a large statue at the front of the two stair wells. The statue was made from white marble that has some cracks throughout it.
It was a statue of a male figure kneeling down onto one knee, holding a sword in front of him by the handle with the blade within the base of the statue. The male figure adorned in an ancient armour of what could be classified as metal and a cape connected to the figures shoulders, drooping to the ground. "...I wonder who you are or were..." Romerix said to himself while solaria has stood beside him.
Curious as to who this statue pays homage to?" She asked curiously. Romerix stared at the statue and gave her a nod, she softened her tone to one respectful and less stern as she too stared at the statue. "This is Ozoroth, one of the seven Chosen ones of Numen, the greatest to live amongst us all. According to the legend Numen brought them into existence to defend Limuria from creatures formed from Tumah chai an purely evil and wicked form of chai that came from an ancient being of pure evil who sought to consume the entire world's chai and the chai stream itself. The legend does not speak of who this ancient evil was but whatever it was, it was strong to defeat Ozoroth and the other Chosen Ones but at the fall of its own demise and from then on the world has not seen this ancient evil or the children of numen."
Solaria looked towards Romerix with an stern expression. "Some people say they still roam upon the world others say they no longer exist then their are those who believe they have witnessed them in dreams and visions." Romerix placed his gaze upon Solaria with curiosity. "what's Tumah and Tahor chai?" he asked. "You will learn more in the chai classes, until then wait with everyone else." Romerix looked towards Solaria and nodded. "Yes ma'am."
Solaria with a swift motion turned to the left and walked away from Romerix to meet up with Bruticus, Romerix having finished gazing at the statue decided it would be best to return back to Lunai and Zacharias and await for Solaria and the other teacher. He noticed they were locked in a conversation with students so he decided not to disturb them. A door to the left swung wide open with a audible thud which caught everyone's attention.
Within the opening of the door was a large and fairly tall man who was bald with a deep black beard and moustache, he wore the same type of armour as Solaria did but more bulky, his expression was like one that has been through many battles. With each step into the main hall was followed with a echoing thud and clunking of the armour he wore. Solaria following close behind. "I am Bruticus Sorion" He spoke with a deep and loud voice. "I will be teaching you the art of combat and how to destroy your enemy in battle, you have already met Solaria she will be if, you have not been told teaching you how use the chai within your bodies for combat."
Markarius simply scoffed through his nose, Lunai and Zacharias showed signs of nervousness at the sheer size of Bruticus, Romerix was rather excited as he knew at this moment he would become as strong as his uncle. The others mumbled amongst themselves which agitated Bruticus greatly. "BE QUIET YOU DO NOT MUMBLE IN MY PRESENCE !" His voice bellowed throughout the main hall like thunder after lightning and his expression spoke many unspoken words of anger.
"you will all follow me to the registration station to get your new attire and which rooms you'll be staying in and if I here any more mumbling coming from any of you, ALL OF YOU will do ten thousand push-ups do I make myself clear." The now new students nod their heads nervously as they followed Bruticus and Solaria to the registration station, each one was given a cloth sleeveless tunic and cloth pants to wear then they were separated by gender to change into the training attire. Then they are told by Solaria which rooms or dorms they will be staying in.
After changing into their new training attires and told the rooms or dorms they will be staying within, they follow Bruticus and Solaria to the courtyard grounds. "This is were you lot will be training those pathetic and weak bodies of yours to become physically, emotionally and mentally stronger." Bruticus said sternly as he glared with a dagger like stare. "NOW LINE UP AND DO NOT MAKE ME TELL YOU AGAIN." With a shout he ordered the new students to line up as they did nervously their were three rows of ten new students in each row, Romerix, Lunai and Zacharias stood next to one another with Lunai and Zacharias rather nervous and intimidated, Romerix had a smile upon his face as this reminded him of the time of how Jeremiah taught him.
Markarius stood in line unhappy he was being told what to do but accepted what was happening none the less. Bruticus stood before them with his arms behind his back with a stance that was strong and powerful compared to everyone else. He was ready to put them through hell.
