Duane Gregory

The student had a very domineering aura and from his aura alone, one could tell that he was from one of the high echelons of the city.

"Hello, my name is Duane Gregory, a member of the Gregory Family.", the young boy introduced himself in a calm and modest way to Travis.

"Hello, I am Travis, a member of the Tale family", Travis also introduced himself. He also did so in a calm and modest way.

'Duane Gregory huh? I am in his group?', Travis thought happily. This was mainly because Duane who was the only son of the head of one of the strongest families was actually humble and kind. He was the only person that treated normal people like his peers.

Travis was really happy that he didn't have to join the other arrogant fools from the other families.

"Hmph! Why are you introducing yourself to trash?", a sweet but sharp voice came from behind Travis as he introduced himself to Duane.

Turning his face to the source of the voice, Travis was met with the young and beautiful face of a female.

She had black, shoulder-length hair braided to reveal a lean, lived-in face. bright brown eyes set charmingly within their sockets, that complimented the face they supported.

Smooth skin charmingly compliments her cheeks and leaves a beautiful memory of her fortunate adventures in life. She was also wearing a dress that leaves her shoulders mostly uncovered and flows down into a delicately draped neckline. It's a comfortable fit which makes the dress both enjoyable to wear and look at.

Her arms have been covered only halfway down. The sleeves broaden towards the bottom and playfully accentuate her skin.

The dress' waist is wide, but it's a slim fit. An elastic band within the dress perfectly accentuates her waist and breaks up the dress nicely.

Below the waist, the dress fits snug around her and has a pleated style. The dress reaches all the way down, almost covering her feet and is the same length all around.

She's wearing open toes, a perfect choice in combination with this dress. To top it all off she's wearing an ornate necklace and several jewelled bracelets.

"Sarah, you shouldn't say that to a fellow student! Apologise now!", Duane said angrily as he looked at the young girl.

"I won't!", Sarah said angrily as she stamped her feet on the floor and left angrily.

Sarah was the daughter of the vice head of the Gregory family, but unlike Duane, she is totally heartless and cold. She was also one of the few powerful people in the class that had a strange fetish. She liked to dress like a princess even though she isn't one.

"Don't take that into heart, remember that to forgive is divine.", Duane said sincerely to Travis when Sarah left.

"Don't worry. I won't take it to heart. I know that is how she is.", Travis said with a smile. He didn't care about what just happened. After all, he was used to being called trash. Not that he was okay with it, he was waiting for the time to shock them all and change their mind!!

"Let us join the rest of the group!", Duane said as he looked at Travis.

"Okay!", Travis smiled and said.

The Fallford Woods was humble, misty, and budding. Its canopy was marked by dogwood, hawthorn, and maple, their leaves and branches allowed for just enough light to pass down for all sorts of saplings to take advantage of the crunchy layer of leaves below.

Swooping tree limbs drooped from a couple of trees, and a potpourri of flowers, which claimed remnants of light, highlighted the otherwise monotonous forest floor.

A variation of animal sounds, which were caused by small creatures, reverberated through the air and overpowered the occasional splashes of frogs jumping in the nearby lake.

It was one of the main forests in the Green Dimension. The green dimension is a place filled with countless diversities of nature and is also one of the few space rifts that had a lot of plant matter.

This was where Travis and the rest of the students were teleported to and their mission was to cooperate with themselves in the form of groups and successfully capture a flag located in the centre of the space rift!

"So you are telling me that all of you got teleported to one place? and I was the only one left out?", Travis asked Duane.

"Yes, that is what happened. I am even wondering why. I had to travel for about a kilometre to find you. You were lucky that they gave us an armband that helped us to know our team's members' location.", Duane said.

"Huh? Did they give us an armband? Why didn't I notice it earlier?", Travis said as he inspected his arms. He then noticed a yellow armband that was on his right arm.

"Is Sarah part of our group?", Travis asked.

"Yep, she is!", Duane said shocking Travis.

"Oh?", Travis raised his eyebrows.

"I am serious and also the rest of the members have all gathered up ahead", Duane said to Travis as they continued to walk towards where everyone was gathered.

"So I was the only one who got teleported away from the range huh? Who are those part of the group?", Travis asked.

"You will know when we get there.", Duane said with a mysterious smile.

~*~

"We are here!", Duane said to Travis.

"We are there already?", Travis asked surprised. He was currently blindfolded by a black cloth. Duane said he wanted to surprise him with something so he blindfolded him. However, Travis activated the soul-sensing technique, just in case something happens.

"Hm, I see. Omg! We are on a cliff?", Travis said surprisedly as if he had never known anything before their arrival.

They were currently on a very steep cliff that seemed to be formed by the erosion of the rock particles. It was a steep one which had a lot of vegetation on it and also below it was a boundless forest that was filled with diversities of nature!
