The Gate to Divinity

I

"Greetings, I'm Rienoa Charlotte.  Its an honor to be assigned in thy faction" I said while slightly bowing in front of my mirror. 

Ugh

I cant believe today is the DAY!!

I heard from other people I would have to slit my hand and drop my blood into some cauldron...

I shivered at the thought.

"Rie! Come down now, you need to arrive there early before it gets too crowded" said a stern voice.

"Alright. You can do this!"  I said to my reflection. 

I then sprinted down the spiraling stairs and zoomed straight out of the door. But I got too excited I forgotten to give my dads farewell hugs and kisses. So I ran back to my house. One of my dads is eating breakfast, he looked surprised.

"Why are you bac-" he couldn't finish as I hugged and kissed him then took off on the road again. I couldn't find my other dad, probably still sleeping.

I tried to run there but...if you know me, I'm not very athletic. 

At this point I wished I ran. The place was SUPER crowded. It was suffocating but awesome at the same time. Many creatures from all over the land have been gathered here in this pure marble pagoda. 

Runia Pagoda is what the building's called. I heard some rumors it was named after the first Empyrean being to reach divinity!

"Runia..." I thought to myself, "Sounds like a female name...but then again who am I to judge?"

Then a booming voice rang my ears, "May I have your attention everybody" 

The chattering amongst the crowd softened, then it vanished.

"As you all may know, today is the day where you will be assigned in a faction. There is only one rule you must follow when being assigned."

He continued.

"Never, ever challenge the Guardians of the factions", he said it really loudly, almost shouting

He softened a little  " Guardians are the main leaders of their factions, respect them and use honorifics all the time at all costs."

He's making it sound like they are very sensitive and have issues with their temper. 

After all that, people were beginning to be assigned already. 

"Bethel!"

"Flora!"

The shouts of the faction names can be heard after a person dropped their blood into the Grace of Choice (yes I learnt the name of the weird cauldron). 

They were going by alphabetical order starting from A to Z. My name starts with R...and they are on E now. It has been 2 hours. 

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I cried to my self internally. My feet are sore, my body is falling apart, my hands are-

"Rienoa Marion Charlotte!"

I shot up. That's me! I've been thinking too much about my misery I forgotten about the time. I peeked outside. 

IT IS ALREADY DUSK!!

 I quickly went to the front. Without warning a man in black clutched my hand and lazily slit it with a pocket knife. I let out a large yelp. At this point I don't really care if people make fun of me for emitting such a sound.

The man yanked my hand above the Grace of Choice. Ouch.

'Drip'

He then threw back my hand (how rude!) . Before I could even comprehend anything that happened, the loud voice, this time punched my ears as if I were standing next to a speaker. 

"Astraea!"

Astraea? I pondered. The galaxy stars kind of faction? I wasn't really into those kind of stuff. I had no choice though... 

Two bulky men then pushed me towards a massive door.

"W-wah wait! I- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Seriously, just how many times do I need to scream here?

Writers note:

I really had fun writing the first chapter! Second chapter is not going to take long, I might even start writing now and publish it tomorrow. Thank you for reading, I really appreciate every single one of you ^w^.

 I have the entire plot planned out already, now I just have to write it. 

Sigh. 

I'm seriously so lazy. (get your ass to work D:<)
