2 Chapter 1 : Vicis

- Bro, the day has finally come, we will soon know our potential,

Rai says excited as he walks to the entrance of the headquarters.

- Yes, we will finally be able to use our skills,

Ilan responds excited since he also wants to have his first confrontation.

- Shut up, remember that not all of us can become skill users,

Narcis always cutting the train of enthusiasm.

- Yes, but that's not going to happen to us, you know!

Rai has definitely been waiting for this moment.

- With my luck, nothing surprises me,

Aldur responds sarcastically.

Same, Same,

Selene and Echo say as they laugh.

The group enters the headquarters and there are a lot of people in the lobby. Many monitors and a giant sign stating, "All new subjects please register at the nearest station." The group proceeded to register. On the screen, everyone was directed to a huge room, and inside the room there was a crystal pyramid and inside the pyramid there was an eye.

- Everyone is going to go through turns, and they are going to put their hand on top of the pyramid. The eye will scan their souls and the results will be uploaded to the Vicis network. From there, all seekers can see their stats.

Vicis' officer explains to everyone who was there.

One by one they started putting their hands. And when everyone finished, they went out to the lobby.

In the lobby, the group meets again.

That was very creepy,

Echo says upset.

I wonder where they got that eye from,

Selene asks.

- I know right! I didn't know that that was the process. Narcis, what are you doing?

Ilan watches Narcis using a device.

- I'm looking for the results, but they haven't published it yet.

- That will surely take its time,

Rai says very calm.

- Let's eat first and I'm sure the results will be ready by then,

Aldur recommends.

The group goes on a walk to the cafeteria when a notification arrives at Narcis device.

- The results are posted!!

Narcis screams.

Quickly everyone started to check.

Narcis was the first.

- It comes out that my main element is water,

Echo says,

- Mine is fire, yessss!!

Selene laughs,

- Mine is also fire.

Ilan starts screaming with euphoria,

- It says mine is Earth.

Rai is jumping

- Bro, mine is electricity!!!

Aldur checks his but something is not right,

- Mine is weird, it says it's still under review.

-Well, you will have to wait until tomorrow when we do the invocation ceremony to see what comes out for you,

Narcis says and Ilan follows him.

- Bro, remember that this is just to see what your main element is, tomorrow is what matters.

The group decides to go eat and then they disperse, the next day they meet again in front of the headquarters.

-Ready?

Rai with euphoria question.

- Yes

- Yep

- Yup

- Yes

- Let's go

- [ ] Everyone goes in and goes directly to the ritual room. For the first time, they will invoke their objects. Narcis goes first, he concentrates and gathers all his energy and then, the energy takes shape of a sniper rifle. Narcis gets excited, points to the distance, and pulls the trigger, a geyser of water shoots out and destroys a concrete wall. Everyone is surprised! Narcis keeps it and Rai passes by. Rai enters the triangle on the ground, accumulates energy and the sky gets cloudy. A long katana, with a purple blade, appears in his hands. Rai is excited because that is the weapon he wanted to have, slashes it a couple of times and suddenly throws a cut that shoots out lighting.

- Bro, I'm super happy.

- I realized bro,

Aldur starts laughing with Rai.

Then it's Echo turn, she accumulates the energy, and the sky clears up. In her hands a sword appeared that looks like a flame was frozen and covered by steel. Excited, she sets her sword on fire and throws a flare into the sky that leaves a hole in the clouds. Selene follows her and proceeds to gather the energy and two daggers come out of her hands. They were made from a crimson red steel, and it burned the air around her. Then Ilan put himself in the awakening position and while he was accumulating the energy there was a small tremor. A long spear appeared in his hands; the steel was made of silver. When he strikes the ground, he makes another mini tremor. And finally, it was Al's turn, not only did he have to be the last of the group, but he was also the last among all of those who did the ritual that day. Aldur approaches the triangle and accumulates the energy; it was difficult, but he succeeds. A kind of silver revolver is put in his hands. He aims it to the front and when pushes the trigger nothing happens. He tries again and nothing happens, and the other people start laughing but his friends tell him not to listen to them. When they check his stats, it turns out that Aldur has zero in all the elements. It's unbelievable!

- Al, for sure, it's a mistake,

Rai tells him trying to cheer him up.

- There are no errors,

Says the instructor.

- It doesn't matter, enjoy your gifts, I'm going to my house,

Aldur leaves all upset..
