Blades and Spells

ACT 1: FIRST ENCOUNTERS

Standing in front of a tall, closed wooden door were three young adults. The building, large and double-layered, seemed ancient yet mystical. Noisy rooms flanked the door on either side, adding to the lively atmosphere. Slightly older children, seemingly happy and smiling, were scattered around, some reading books near the building to the left. The scene was nothing short of nirvana.

A female was standing facing the door flanked by two males, all looking in the same direction. The eyes of the male on the left were wide as the moon. Not a quite tall person, but he was the tallest of the three. He was a caucasian male with an ectomorph build. He had low dark-brown hair on his head. A black sandals were on his feet, shorts of the same colour, along with a short-sleeve purple shirt. His chest expanded slowly, pausing for a couple of seconds before contracting.

"Zack!?" a soft voice to his right called.

With elevated eyebrows, he looked to his left and saw the female looking slightly upwards to him. Confusion came across his face as he looked at her, taking in all of her physical features. She was in knee-high blue and green shoes and elbow long gloves of matching design. She was wearing a light blue halter dress that reached her right above the knees. She has a white complexion, with long black hair. Her silk-like face gazed upon him, as her lips increased in width.

"Are you lost?" She giggled. "Didn't you say you wanted to experience some sort of historic moment by opening the door?"

"He's in his fantasy land again, that's why the door scared him," the voice to the utmost right said.

The male on the right was a dark short-haired, muscular male. He wore long brown slim fitted jeans and a brown vest, along with his knee-height brown shoes.

The girl looked towards her right with a smirk, "Jacquade, already!"

"I'm just joking Caroline... But are we going to stand here forever?"

She smiled. Her head rotated towards the direction directly in front of her. "No. This is our time."

Caroline pushed the door with a bright smile on her face.

The doors separated with a gentle creak, each moving away to reveal the interior. Their feet slowly moved as all of them looked in various directions with eyebrows raised, and eyes expanded. In both directions, three doors could be seen. All were opened, excluding the last one on the left. Laughter and shouts filled the air, blending with the murmur of conversations from inside the classroom. Persons were walking pass, some with swords strapped on their waist while some of the others had books in their hands. Lively chatter, noises of enthusiastic voices and playful interruptions created a vibrant, bustling atmosphere.

"This seems like it is a paradise," Zack said smiling, while looking past the first door filled with students.

Caroline, with her cheeks raised, "Yes, yes! It really is"

Students were sitting on chairs, laughing and talking at the end of the hallway - where the 3 friends were heading. They continued walking. Jacquade looked to his right, he saw a few adults. One look at him with a serious tone, Jacquade looked away swiftly.

They reached the end of the hallway where the students were.

A divine feeling came upon Caroline as she smiled and looked around. Her chest heated in temperature and everything appeared in a brighter tone in her eyes.

"Didn't they say the registration is right here?" Jacquade commented with a raised eyebrow.

"Can't you enjoy yourself for once and think of all the possibilities?" Zack replied with a smirk on his face.
