Daniek had never been in a class without Tina, well since they became friends, so moving to the private lessons was..strange. They weren't even private, great, more people to watch him fail. "Heya!" A girl, roughly Daniek's age, bounced up over to him "I'm Melody, it's nice to meet you!" She extended a hand, maybe this wasn't so bad after all. "Daniek" the boy smiled, grabbing Melody's hand, she gasped. "Like.. THE Daniek?! The chosen one?!" Oh great, the word already spread, all Daniek could do was smile softly and nod. The girl started to..what was the word? Oh, fangirl. But Daniek couldn't help seeing the tall, black haired boy in the shadow cast by the wall, he didn't think much of the shadowy figure. "Alright! Line up you three!" A booming voice called, echoing in the walls. The three children lined up, Melody and the boy standing at attention, Daniek didn't know what was going on. Two adults stepped into the light, a strong, muscular man, and a woman who held a large, but beautiful, staff. "Hello, Children." The woman started "it seems you've already met Daniek, the next savior of our world-" "if he makes it past training." The man rasped, harshly. The woman cleared her throat "I want you, Melody and Kai, to show Daniek around campus, I believe it would be wise for the chosen one to be led by his protectors even from the start." The woman smiled. Melody did a swift peace sign "you can count on us, Miss!". The black haired boy, or rather, Kai, just scoffed. The woman chuckled "then go ahead, but first, I would like Daniek to know me and my co-trainer's names, wouldn't that be just wonderful?" She turned the man, who growled a bit. "Well, my name is Eden, and he is Takashi, we hope you can get the training required to start battling the darkness, Daniek" she smiled, raising her staff, the blue-green crystal shone with intensity, before growing a beautiful blue-petaled tree when she tapped the ground, the moment she did tap the ground, a symbol appeared. "Thank you, Ma'am" Daniek said as politely as he could, the teacher chuckled "oh darling, just call me Miss. Eden, okay? Now, run along, go get used to your surroundings." She used the staff to lift him off the ground, and set him down next to Melody and Kai. The three headed to the front of the tiny building, Daniek looked back at the teachers, who were chatting among themselves. Daniek smiled, maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all?
