Metanoia Book 1

Chapter 1. The New Member

It's another sunny day in the town of Surora, a little to the south of the town can a small camp be found. This camp was created by a small group 8 years after the war between the light and the dark started. The camp is owned by the light and started by a group of three members, but over the years the small group has grown more and more and people began to join from different towns. But to become a member isn't that easy either, the person has to take a test to show if they are capable of fighting against strong enemies. Here one of the three members judges the person about their ability, their skill to think and fight and declare if the person is capable of joining.

Today is the day where a new member got to join the team. This was the purple-haired girl Moonlight. She had passed her test, and today was her first day at the camp. Her judge is the one who is gonna show her around, introduce her to everyone, which group she'll be in, and lastly, the one who will train her.

While Moonlight walked around the camp looking for a familiar face, she suddenly came to a stop. She heard voices, children? But what are children doing here? Moonlight thought to herself. She moved towards where the voices came from when she saw two figures playing and talking to each other, it only made her more confused about the situation. She took a deep breath and walked towards them.

"Excuse me, but this isn't a place for children to play, so I'll ask nicely if you'll go back to the town. If you need help though, I'll gladly help" Moonlight said and gave them a friendly smile. Though the two young people looked at her in both deep confusion and annoyance. The two were a young boy and a girl both looked at the age of 13-14 years old. The first to speak was the young boy who was tan skin and wearing white simple clothes and a brown cape with its hood up to hide his black hair. "We should be the ones telling you, this isn't a place for strangers," he said sticking his tongue out. His voice had an annoying tune to it, probably not happy.

The next to speak was the girl who had long brown hair tied in a braid hanging on her right shoulder. She was wearing a long hoodie probably not her own hoodie Moonlight notes to herself. "We haven't seen your face around here before, so you're probably the one lost or something like that," she said with a more teasing voice and gave Moonlight a small grin.

Moonlight gave them both a shocked expression "that's not a-" she was cut off by another voice that came from behind. "There you are ms. Moonlight, I've been looking for you" all three turned their heads toward the voice. A tan girl standing in front of them. A familiar face with her long black hair tied in a long ponytail and her long purple coat, this person was the judge that was inspecting Moonlight, Nano Hanna. Nano looked at the young boy and girl and back at Moonlight. "I see you already met the junior team" she continued with a calm voice giving them a small smile. In the meantime when everyone understood what was happening, the three looked quickly back at each other HUH?!.

After a short explanation Nano gave an understandable nod and cleared her throat. "Well then, let's us try from the beginning, from today on this is a new member of the good team introduce yourself," Nano said and gave a confident smile to Moonlight who looked a little more nervous than before, while the two others just looked at Moonlight, with a more calm face than before. Moonlight again took a deep breath before saying her introduction "nice to meet you both, my name is Moonlight, I hope we will get along in the future". The two looked at each other before the boy talked. "We'll highly reconsider that," he said before clearing his own throat "well I suppose we will see more of each other in the future" wait when did he become so polite out of the blue Moonlight thought and looked at Nano for a quick moment, who was still smiling sweetly. "Well to introduce ourselves we are the junior team which means we are still not in full action yet. We are known as Deadly Reality. My name is Amon and my other teammate here is Scootalis" Amon continued and Scootalis gave a small smile and a nod.
