The Stronger Nation

Into....There

Ember was shaking. She was gonna do it. She was actually gonna do it. She wasn't ready, she already missed her members. A old man with a white bears and glasses wearing a white suit stood up on the rocks where a little podium stood allowing him to make a announcement.  Loud speakers that spread from all across the town they were in spoke as the man talked into the micro phone

"Let men old and young gather around and listen for a clan meeting."

Ember looked up at the man his voice was steady and showed no hint of worry. He gazed around the big room that was filled with people. She looked around, too bad not everyone could come, then again that's why they have the big speakers..... Suddenly the old man's gaze fell on ember and she froze. She held her chin u high and puffed out her chest to show she wasn't afraid. The old man cracked a smile, then continued his speech.

"As many of you know today is a very important day," he announced " we have our group of the 13th to be's ready for the grand test that approaches them." He paused letting the roaring and cheering calmed down. " As you all know they may not make it out, but, in the end if they fail, the clan will join together and select 5 to be's to finally become a accepted part of our community!" Everyone in the crowd cheered loudly. "May the stars be in your hands as you face this long journey together." He finished.

All the to be's gathered in a proper line in order. When the old man got off of the rocks, they split open and a blue glowing circle was in the middle with a glass seal and a white trim. The audiences gaze fell on the first to be when the old man came up to him.

"Scorch, he began, you are a very loyal person and will help this group through dark times. Your patience and loyalty will be put to the test... Now if you will..." The old man pushed scorch onto the blue circle. Scorch was practically shaking his skin off but he went on the blue circle anyway. "May the stars be in your hands!" The crowd cheered. Scorch stood still for a moment and a few seconds later the blue circles glass and middle opened up. Scorch was in shock but didnt have anytime to react when he fell in the hole, you could hear his scream until it had completely faded. All the to be's were in shock.

The old man glanced at the rest of the to be's signaling them to step forward. Next up was Sparrow, she didnt look as confident as she did before. The old man repeated the ceremony with her but instead of loyalty and patience he said bravery and passion. The crowd the again repeated "May the stars be in your hands!" As Sparrow fell she didnt yell but rather laughed as if it was fun.

Slowly one after the other the to be's were named and fell in

"Snowfall, you are the very definition of understanding and you always know whats right, the group will need you in this journey"

"May the stars be in your hands!"

"Shadow, you are more of a sunshine in most to be's lives, you will keep them going in giving them hope."

"May the stars be in your hands!"

"Crimson, you are very skillful in battle and if they're is ever a fight this is when the group will need you the most"

"May the stars be in your hands!"

"Willow, your wisdom is needed in this test to survive, you shall direct the group whenever you feel something is right." 

"May the stars be in your hands!"

Willow mumbled something under her breath thinking nobody could hear her, but Ember had a heightened hearing and heard what she had said. "I wish that were true but with people like you in charge I'll never be truly free..." Ember was shocked at what she said but pretended it was nothing.
The ceremony continued as always with more to be's being dropped to... Wherever that is.

"Scorch, sparrow, shadow,snowfall, crimson, willow, mud, Tiramisu, bubble, Shards, Sun, lily, trinity, clover, olive, Quincy, Fawn, pepper,  Mint, Aqua, Ravine, Jaywing.....me..."

Ember breathed out.... The world was spinning, she was next. She slowly made her way next to the old man. He gazed at her softly

"Ember, you are a brave to be and face many dangerous things on this journey, this will be difficult but you must face them with courage and lead your group back home. with all your fellow to be's encouraging you, you will make it through." He finished " and dont forget" he said letting the rest of the clan finish his sentence.

"May the stars be in your hands!" 

Ember stepped on the circle for a second then, gasped. The floor was gone and she fell screaming she looked up seeing nothing but darkness. She landed on something hard and realized that this was a tube. She was being taken in a tube to... There! She giggled in excitement forgetting about stress for a moment. The slide then gave away and then felt herself land on something and her head was spinning. She didnt land on something hard but more soft, her senses then gave up and everything went black.
