Lesser Faith - A Zodiac Tale

⚜Chapter Two - The Tiger⚜

As the group followed Clous Sheil- their 'supervisor', almost everyone was thinking about how suspicious he was. Almost.
     Tye was the only one with food on his mind. He hadn't eaten in what? Two days. The boy couldn't go long without food, and Flynn joked that two days was his record. "I'm hungry." He grumbled.
"Deal with it Tye." Chalize flicked him on the head. "We can eat when we get wherever the hell we're going." She promised in a mocking tone. "Where are we even going?"
"You'll find out, dragon." Clous waved a hand, dismissing the question.

As the wide doors of the 'school' opened Raileigh let out a small gasp. "It's beautiful."
     The others couldn't help but agree. The large room was decorated with stained glass windows of each Chinese Zodiac, and a door stood aloft each one. "Each room has separate things that you will each find you take a liking to." A woman said. She had been leaning against a door that had no Zodiac above it. 
     Flynn guessed it lead into a separate hallway, but he wasn't sure. "Headmaster Rin." Clous Sheil gave the woman a sideways grin before waving his hand at the children next to him. "I've brought them here to train on your orders."
"I appreciate it, Clous but that won't be necessary. You'll be training them from now on." The woman responded. With that quick note she fell backwards into the shadows and disappeared.

"Your girlfriend is nice." Raileigh said out of the blue. "Girlfriend?"
     "Yeah! The lady you called Headmaster Rin."
     "You misunderstand dear." Shiel chuckled. "I have no interesting in dating my boss, trust me on this."
     At this Raileigh giggled. "But she's pre-" The girl was cut off by Chalize shushing her. "Where are our rooms?" The older girl asked, raising an eyebrow.
     "Did you not learn anything silly dragon girl?" Shiel huffed. "Through the doorways with your zodiacs."
    "Gotcha." Tye finger-gunned Shiel before darting into the tiger zodiac section and closing the door.

A collective gasp of surprise came from each zodiac as they entered their assigned rooms, the doors closing silently behind them.
