Syzygy Aces

Chapter 4

Special thanks to Jerald for editing...

Each team was given a tent and we settled for a day before the main event will took place.

We were given beds to sleep, a round table for dining as well as conference, a tub for bathing, box with different weapons, and a lot of facilities. All in one tent!

We sat around the table hesitantly, feeling the presence of each other. Only Maximus, Reyn and I were the ones talking to each other and exchanged dinky smiles.

Voltai was a big guy with a poker face. I can comprehend what was going in his mind.

"I'm a tank warrior. My name is Voltai and I came from the mountainous part of realm called Horizons. I hope we could stand together and win this thing for this is what we all want."

We were stunned by his deep underground voice. He was so serious that nobody tried to shake a hand as a welcome gesture.

He still maintained his poker face and sat down.

Jaxmi stood next and introduced himself.

"I'm Jaxmi but just call me Jax. I'm an elemental and can control fire." He boastfully makes a fire out of his hand.

It was amazing but I don't like him much since they thrown away my last banana cake.

"I'm Maximus, an assassin. I specialize in two short swords. I can move fast as a bullet", he said proudly.

Jaxmi and Maximus were both full of air.

Blue light illuminated the room that came from Reyn's hand and she stood.

"I'm Reyn and I came from a family of healers. I only mastered simple healing techniques but I'm sure I can help a lot but don't expect too much and don't make yourself badly hurt."

She really has a kind of charm that makes everyone feel good. Maybe it was one of the
healing auras that she has.

"Just call me Shay."

She just introduced herself and sat down. She had this mysterious aura around her. Her eyes were grey and I felt strange when I looked at them intensively. Long black hair falls neatly behind her head and she wore over-all black skinny outfit that fitted her sexy figure. Her face was sweet yet she always had this deadly look.

Nobody tried to ask her about her ability.

"Well just call me Krish guys. I'm a mage but..."

"Show us some tricks!" Xerxi exclaimed.

"Well, hmmm.. I haven't opened myself yet to the spirit world," hesitantly I told them.

"What?!!!" They chorused except Maximus, of course. He already knew that I was trying hard finding ways how to call spirits.

"So, you're useless." Voltai just smirked.

I was speechless. The words that came from Voltai struck me as lightning and it was true.

"Guys, don't be hard on Krish. She can fight with a sword and she's good at it." Maximus defended me as always.

I gave him a faint smile and sat down.

Xerxi broke the silence.

"Well, it's my turn. I'm a scout. Hide and seek is the game I do best." He sounded so cool.

"Now that we already know each other, I hope that we could make it. We all want to win this and be one of the Aces." Voltai stood up and nodded as a sign of his departure.

We all settled to our respective beds which were separated by a wooden divider.

I looked the image in my mirror. Dark purple eyes stared back at me. I could see the lost part of myself. I pitied the image; the velvet hair was a mess.

Totally, I felt disoriented.

"Can I join you?," I never knew Reyn was standing in front of me.

"Yes, of course!" I smiled at her.

She sat next to me and held my hand. I really felt good around, her aura was so different.

"Well, you want me to fix your hair? I don't have a sister and I really like to have one." She looked at me with puppy eyes.

"I don't have siblings. I haven't seen my mother and my father died long time ago. I lived with men all my life and I don't know exactly how to fix my hair. If you prefer to fix it, then I'm really glad, Sis....hahahaha"

"Okay then it is settled. Where's your comb?" She asked.

"There's a problem. I don't have one."
