Just a Number
The first light of the next morning arrived but the five young acolytes from Earth were already awake and started getting ready to head toward the grand assembly. They were back to the first place they had seen ever since entering this world seven days ago.
Ten thousand acolytes filled the ground in front of the purple glowing tower. It was crowded with various youngsters, some were taller by more than a head and some were smaller half the size of an average teenager; some even have horns and tails, however, they were all in fact humans.
In the middle of the crowd, Emery scouted the surrounding and found a particular woman with pale skin, long hair reaching just below her bottom and snake-like eyes. He approached her and said, "Hey Silva, good to see you here."
Emery was quite sure he had seen her smiling at first glance but instantly returned to her usual demeanor.
"Of course I am here. What kind of a question is that?" she said, looking away from him.
