Sleep. After what felt like half an eternity in this world, Vivian finally got some genuine sleep. With dreams that didn’t turn to insecurities, she was scared but she didn’t have to be in her perfect world… Seated together at a picnic table looking at one another and laughing. Her whole family was there, her dad, her brother, her grandma and grandpa, and finally her mother. They all sat together as a big happy family, the table was filled with different home cooked meals from both families sides and her dad was bringing the finishing touch. Everyone began to eat and dig in, playing around, laughing, and loving life. Vivian went in to eat her food, a nice big bite of.35Please respect copyright.PENANAO25vzkdI0D
“Ms. Vivian, wake up.”
“Hu-Huh?” Vivian was startled awake looking at a man staring down at her.35Please respect copyright.PENANAK74esyQKGH
“What huh? What are we-”
“You wished to speak to The Guardians, now you will be able to do so.” The Man handed her a suit, a suit that seemed to be flexible and fit perfectly to her size. Soon she walked to the door and then she looked around, the door separated open and Vivan stepped inside. Looking around Vivian would notice she was in some kind of garden, it was rather beautiful. The plants were very well kept and tended to. This place was very well kept for being so desolate and quiet.
“I wonder if this when they’ll-”35Please respect copyright.PENANAS93oMe4cNh
BZZZ KRRKT!
In a second Vivan was on her guard, something began to flash around her.
“Hey hey! I don’t want to fight, I just want to talk but I will if I have to.” Vivian says as she raises her hands both glowing with energy as the scarf floated around her, eyes protruding from around it.
“Whoa whoa, you’re a real one? Holy crap you are, stand down Cyilva.” A dark skinned male and a dark skinned young woman stepped out of the bushes and came walking towards her, the moonlight illuminating them. The dark skinned boy had a temp fade with an edge up and the girl had some short box braids, they both wore the same outfit that Vivian was currently wearing and thus they were obviously participants.
“So, what’s going on?” Vivian asked, the girl stepped forward looking at her.
“No clue huh? Well the best we’ve got in terms of understanding is that well… We’re all here to become Guardians and whether we’re strong enough depends on if we make it or not…” The girl spoke as she looked over at Vivian, she would take a deep breath and examine her.
“Hopefully you’re ready. Names Max.” The Male said to Vivian as he shook her hand.
“Vivian, wait, ready for what exactly? What’re the tests?” Vivian watched as the sky began to fade away and cloud over and then beams of light began to emit around her and her new comrades. Looking around she saw multiple people arrive in masks, each mask has a certain number of spikes on it. One spike, two, all the way to seven. Standing there they began to speak to them.35Please respect copyright.PENANAvZyyn1ReSd
“Welcome Students, Harbingers Of Sanctuary-”
“Perfect.” Vivian stopped forward.35Please respect copyright.PENANALw48yiZ29Z
“Excuse me!”
“Your job is to learn from those before you. Welcome to your final days of testing, the day where you either make. Or break, FOREVER.”
“I need to talk with you it’s about-”
“Your talents have succeeded you well and brought you far but that won’t be enough when you face The Chaos Harbinger.” Vivian froze up looking around, no one seemed to notice. No one, so she played along.35Please respect copyright.PENANAsyP7uu9Rry
“A will to succeed no matter the cost, that is what will secure your success and victory. If you can’t do such a thing, then we won’t hesitate to eradicate you before you can feed the enemy’s strength. Show us your strength and we will show you Godhood. Good Luck.”
Within that moment the lights vanished, staring hard Vivian began to take a deep breath.35Please respect copyright.PENANAYkDRqwpBXw
“....” Looking at the ground Vivian would recall what she was told, the words that even though she hid them from everyone, even herself. They bubbled up to the surface in moments of fear. That she’ll have to take a life to save a life… the life in this moment… was her own. The scarf began to flow a bit as she turned to face them but saw nothing. But she didn’t let her guard down, she continued to focus from all angles. She kept looking around and swapping, then she felt weird as if her body was one place and she was currently at another.
Looking at her hands she saw them fading away and breaking away to particles and then the rest of her followed… Opening her eyes she saw what appeared to be a cave system, nothing that was too out of whack in her mind. The scarf illuminated the area pretty well.
“Hey! Let go!” She knew that voice pretty well, hurrying on her way she looked forward and she saw the owner of the voice. Anderson was currently being picked up by his shirt by a taller male who then launched him into a wall. Reaching out he brandished a blade that charged with a mystical glow, just like the ones the others were using.
“Oh don’t worry, I’ll help you do just that. Let go, for good.” Raising the blade above his head he brought it down and-
BZZKOOW!
“Back off.” With a blast Vivian launched the assailant back and off of Anderson who stood up looking over at Vivian, he’d rub his face and walk over to her.
“I was fine.”
“Get behind me.” Vivian didn’t take her eyes off of the people, she looked behind them and saw Skoberi on the ground nearby, she seemed hurt. The attackers were adults and without much decorum clearly.35Please respect copyright.PENANA4igPqsAmxD
“Stay back. Anderson-”
“Already on it.” Anderson would stand up and help Skobi up as well, holding her arm around his shoulder.35Please respect copyright.PENANAOYWvJrcfMB
“What’s going on here?”
“You don’t know, do you kid?” The assailant said to Vivian.
“Know what?” She asked and he began.
