"Wait... people have to come with me?"I asked.
"Well, of course. You're not dying and taking all the credit!"Beatriz says from behind me.
"Oh... Uhm... I- I don't know anyone..."I mumbled, Jade looked at me, confused.
"Ugh...I'll- pick names from the goblet."They take a goblet from under the table, everyone groans.
"Ugh, Booo!"Someone yelled.
"STUPID GOBLET, THIS BRINGS MY CHANCE DOWN TO- LIKE- 0!"Another one said.
As Jade picked a paper from her goblet, I looked at everyone, most people weren't very... desprate about going... and others were talking about how they could get out of cleaning duty. Were quests really this dangerous?
"Erik...Athene."Jade calls out, some dude stands up. He seems to be about 12-13. He's got black hair but the bangs in the front were white, his skin was a honey-color, and he's wore a black shirt, black jeans, and a black aviator jacket with fur. Erik ran over to me and Jade, standing next to us.
"Loona Laurier, please come up."Jade called out again.
"WOOOO!"A girl stands up, she's got a black frizzy afro, coffee-coloured skin, a light green tank top with high-rise white jeans, and earrings with little silver moons(Which I planned on stealing later, because- wow, those were nice.)Loona stands next to Erik. Loona seemed to be about 13 like Erik and I.
"And last... but probably least...Aella Zhao!"Jade yells, Beatriz starts clapping- but she's the only one.
Soon, Aella stood up, she had Dark brown eyes- except...one was blue, a short black bob cut, an oversized sweater, and last but not least light-blue skinny jeans; she also seemed to be about our age. She quickly ran over and stood next to us.
"Go get packing, We'll send you off later."Jade points to the living quarters, and we all quickly rush off.
As I pack some extra clothes from camp, I think about Elisse... I had nine days- and my first one was being wasted on this. I sighed, looking around to see if anyone was there before grabbing the book on angels and zipping up my backpack. I put it on, walking up the spiraled staircase and up to the surface. Soon, our journey would begin... and I had no where to start.
Once we all finished packing, Jade took us to a far-end of the property.
"Aella...Erik....Loona... and Ezra, do you pledge to die in honor of your parents when- ah, sorry, if you die."Jade asked, we all nodded.
"Well, Hopefully seeya!"Jade quite literally kicked us off property lines.
