Rise of Nyx

9 end of prologue part 1

as we arrive at the city hall, fang lee says " the world is a bigger place then you think, don't let your talents get the better of you, there is always a higher mountain" with a stern voice. the silent and awkward atmosphere is broken but soon filled with anticipation. getting out of the carriage we are quickly greeted by 3 maids, who escort all of us though the building and into the back were we are welcomed to a sea of about 90 kids standing next to there parents. they all turn their heads at once, to look at the new arrivals.

we quickly make our way down the steps, as we hear whispers fly threw the air. " are those the two monster"" why did they look so calm?" hmpt just because you have talent you show up late" all manners of praises, swears and slander fill the air. trying thing to ignore it to the best of my ability as end up walking to small area near the corner.

" we will begin a moment" says the city lord as he looks.over to our group as if was waiting for us to come.

" I song zong have arrived" a person wearinf golden robes busted out the door, followed by two adults which assuming to be zong parents. they look to both be in early 30s. both have black hair and sharp eyes. how mother was stunning. not as beautiful as fang ming who can topple countries. she looked more like topple cities.

they quickly scan the parents and children till their eyes land on our group. making their way down the steps and walking towards us.

" so you must be the famous fang family" he says ignoring star, xue, silver and his sister.

" Fang lee greets, 2nd Prince song yui" as he bows slightly.

" good seeing you again my bed warmer, looks like You have slight talent to be allowed back here" song zong walked out in front. staring at nyx.

slap, a crisp slap rang though the air, zong was slapped by his father, " are you an idiot? don't speak like that to daughter of the fangs again" he roared at his son, who stared back at his father, not knowing what to say. where did I go wrong he asks himself, she just a girl form a commoner family.

"I'm sorry fang lee, for what my son said, I'll disaplin him when we leave today" 2nd Prince said with a smile.

" it's alright, that slap was more then enough. 2nd Prince" fang lee said back but clearly their were resentment In his eyes.

"enough with the 2nd Prince, call me song gin" said the 2nd Prince as he laughed. before I forget this is my wife " Lang po" as he points to the lovely lady beside him.

a few mings goes by and then 20 shadows appear in the sky. 10 of them looked like the reps but the other 10 seem older, giving of an older feeling to them. but they looked around late 30s. the city lord looks confused for a moment as he stares at the 10 other people. then it don in him, those two must be the reason he thinks. he starts to walk out and waves his hand. and a stand appears. as he walks to it, the 10 reps all land on the ground 10m apart from each other In a line. then in one motion they all are holding a flag of their school. stabbing it into the ground. standing straight and staring at each of us. the older 10 guest are all in the sky standing, they have their hand and chairs appear. like good old friends they are all start to move their mouths but no words came out as one of them brings our wine.

" cough, I the city lord welcome all of you and congratulate you all. normally we would have a sparing tournament to pick the strongest for first choice of school.. but due to certain circumstances I decided to forgo it and let all the schools announce what they are looking for and benefits with their drawbacks, without further ado let's start.".

the man with the immortal sect flag steps forward" I'm from the immortal sect, my name doesn't matter to weaklings, our sect goal is to seek immortality. and if your strong enough you will find out my name. if you want to be the strongest the come under our banner"he says while staring at fang nyx and yu. "if you join it's for life" not paying attention anymore.

the next person stands up. " from the mage association fosters only mages nothing else, we have one of the largest collection of magic, we offer freedom, but you can never be a knight." then he steps back.

3rd person walks up, then the 4th, the 5th person was from frozen glacier school. with a child voice" we only accept females who have afinity for ice or water" then steps back.

the 6, 7, 8, 9th and finally the 10 person comes up. everyone gave short introduction. however all there stares were mainly focused on the fang group, as they tried to talk up their school.

" since each school had a moment to talk, let's begin the election".

slowly all the children take a step forward, they soon stop and start thinking about their choices. the first was a young girl.. she slowly walked up to the frozen glacier. with a tim voiced" may i join? she looked scared as if a insect was starting at a lion. "stand behind me"wang lin said, not paying attention to her. the girl quickly stood behind her. soon after everyone started to go to each sect or school.

"rejected" the first rejected person appeared. it was the guy who had no affianty form the other day

"why am I rejected? he asks the trade school rep.

" because you have no affinity, how can you become a blackSmith or a alchiment? if you had more talent you could have been a stage 1 enchanters but even still you need some elements to back up your work and make it stronger. heck I would be surprised if you become anymore then a sqire pathetic" the trade school rep says.

"you will regret this, trade school" he says as he runs off.

hmpt ants who don't know their place. the other reps thought. soon more and more rejections took place. people left disappointed for not being accepted to any of the 10. an hour later it finally was down to 6 people. nyx, yu, sliver, zong, star and a guy dressed in a black robe. all 10 schools were paying attention to them.

zong was the first one to step out and walk toward the immortal sect. he looks at the two with eyes that crave strength, let me join your sect he says, with a prideful voice

the rep gave zong an state, letting his auroa come out and cover zong, pushing him to the ground. zong refused to fall but was slowly being forced to his knees, it then disappeared. stand behind me." the rep says with indifference,

finally it's down to us and the one dressed in black.. I'm still hesitant on who to pick, remembering fathers words. I look over to see yu trying to make up his mind between the trade school or battle hard sect. I turn and take a quick glance at silver, he is walking towards the battle hard sect. he looks up at the rep, let me join you, the rep gives quick glance and really him to stand behind him.

the next guy to move was the guy dressed in all black, he walks up to devil peak sect and without a word stands behind him.

star was the next person to move and she went to battle hard sect too, which was a surprised since she didn't seem like the person who likes to fight. when she reached in front of him, he asked her why?

because i want to get stronger and protect the people I cherish." he said with valor.

I see, stand in line" giving her a nod.

now it's down to yu and i. before we picked. the 10 people where sitting down drinking finally flew down. I almost forgot about them.

one of old guys came forward

"no need to rush young man and young miss. let's have a chat"

"who are you" I ask.

"we are from the main branch, of these sects you see before you". he replies

"main branch?

"surely you didn't think we didn't have other schools?, well we are in a mortal continent" he sighs. well let me tell you." the continent you see now is called the mortal continent, that's why there is no demon beast over rank 5 here and the qi/ mana is so thin, but that's for later" he smiled

what do you guys want? yu asked.

WHAT we want is.....
