Tristin Academy : The Seekers

Chapter 1

"Nrgh"

The constant occasional jerks forced my eyes to open in discomfort.

With my eyes opened now, I realised that I was lying down in some foreign dark confined space.

My heart skipped a few beats, where am I, why am I here echoed in my mind.

I immediately tried to get up to assess the situation, but to no valid.

My muscles were sore causing my body to feel like lead, impairing movement.

With much difficulty, I tried feeling around the dark for something.

After some time, I managed to make out some of the objects around me.

There were round and sweet smelling apples and a bunch of leather bottles.

If I had to make a guess, I would be on a carriage.

But why was I on one? All I remember was that I was involved in a fight. Oh yeah! Conrad came back.

As if on a cue to answer my question, I barely made out a conversation.

"Are you sure about this Conrad?  You already know about Troy's infatuation with being a Seeker don't you?"

"... Yes , but i believe it's in our interest to be protected by the academy rather then aimlessly wandering around"

The voices belonged to Rua and Conrad.

The tension that my body held instantly vanished as i recognised that I was in good hands.

But why was Rua here? Where was Conrad taking us? Protect from what?

With many questions left unanswered, my weary body got the better of my consciousness and I closed my eyes.

I felt multiple instances of my body being touched. My neck,  then my triceps, then my knees and then my-

"W-woah, what the heck?!!"

My body jerked sideways on reflexes from its flat position on the bed, causing me to fall off my bed.

"Kya!"

I heard a coarse shriek pierce through the surrounding.

"...."

My vision slowly sharpened to see a forest of black protruding out from what seemed to be a human's chest.

"What the f-"

Before I finished my sentence, the giant lump of chest hair came rushing at me, engulfing me in its horrendous lush with a bear hug.

"Ohh! You're awake Troy!" it began exclaiming in the loudest voice of all of Ragnolia.

"Mmph!!"

I rapidly kicked and punched in the air in frenzy as a sign to let go.

"Oh sorry, tee-hee"

As i got released from its clutches, my vision slowly sharpened again and this time I made out a big bulky figure.

"Holy shi-"

The behemoth that stood in front of me wore a skimpy shorts and a leather tunic with a neat cut from the top to its belly button, revealing its buff chest hair. My eyes burned even further as I scrolled my vision upwards and saw that the behemoth wore horrendous makeup, multiplying its scariness three-fold.

"W-who are you old man?? And where am I!?"

In a flash, I felt an intense pressure around my jaws disrupting my sentence and realise I had been lifted off one feet off the ground.
