Mylene stepped into the door. She found herself back in the hallway that Beltrax walked her down. All the doors were closed and there was no one in sight.
"Hello?" Mylene shouted but there was no reply.
She looked at the numbers on the doors and counted backwards from her door. 49, 47, 45, 43. Mylene started following the numbers getting lower. The hallway was now lit up by small glowing lamps above the doors. She could now see an open door at the end of the hallway. Suddenly someone came out of it, a tall middle aged man with dark grey hair and a purple starry cloak.
"Took your time, hello young one."
Mylene looked at him for a while and then began to walk forward.
"My name is Turnip, Tatius Turnip. What might your name be?"
Mylene looked up, his eyes looked like a muddy pink colour.
"Mylene... Mylene Phira."
"Nice to meet you Mylene! If you would be so kind as to come with me." Turnip said as he turned around and walked back through the door. Mylene followed with caution. She entered the room where she had first met Beltrax and then followed Turnip to a wooden orange door. Turnip opened it and they both entered a massive room fulled with people. Mylen's eyes widened.
"Welcome miss Phira."
Turnip walked on as the people parted to make a clear path for him. Mylene joined the crowd. There were 3 stands at the end of the room. Mylene noticed Beltrax at the middle stand, there was nothing but a book on the right stand. Turnip got up and joined Beltrax on the left stand. There was silence in the room. Beltrax reached to the side of his goggles, flicking the switch. He looked up at everyone with his fish eyes.
"Hello everyone... for those of you who don't know, I am Bimble Beltrax." He looked around the room for a little while and then looked down at his stand.
"Uhmm... right. You probably are all wondering... 'WHY AM I HERE?!'" He looked up again with a smile on his face.
"You will find out in time, but for now... we don't have much time." His Smile still remained. "The Keepers Of The Peace, The Guardians, The Protectors, The Binary. Call them what you will, they are all the same. The oppressors more like it. Where was I... uhmm... right! We need... to get out... alright." Beltrax flicked the switch on his goggles and sat down. There was silence.
"Thank you Beltrax!" Turnip got up. "As Beltrax so kindly said, we need to get out... we need to get out before the Binary find us. Right, everyone under 100 years of age follow Beltrax, everyone else follow me."
Turnip stepped down and made his way to another door. Beltrax stepped down too, picked up the book on the right stand and made his way to the opposite door. People started separating out, most of the people went to Beltrax. Mylene counted 9 going to Turnip. They both opened the doors and let everyone go through them.
"The skyship awaits!" Beltrax said as he slammed the door shut.
There was darkness...
