Chapter Two- The Boy In The Shadows

*Unknown POV*

The boy in the shadows smiled. Those two were good choices. Flyer was smart, and Antorn was.... well..... Antorn was okay. The boy laughed, watching their stunned expressions as they walked up to the stage and received their badges. He remembered his own Choosing 16 years ago, as clearly as if it was yesterday...

"Today is a very special day. Today, two teens will be Chosen for great things. Today, it is my pride to announce..... our Chosens! May the wind be at your backs and the sky bow down to you! I now reveal the names of our Chosens, Jexica Wu and Ysaac Calderon!" 

The boy in the shadows, Ysaac, radioed his partner, Jexica. 

"I've got a lock on our new Chosens. What is our course of action?"

"-Attack fr- lift out-" splashes of static hide her words. Ysaac twists his receiver, trying to get a better read. 

"Can you repeat that?"

"I said, Do not attack, for the people will see too much. I'll see if I can airlift them out later."

"Okay. Got it." Ysaac took his cap off and shook out his messy dark brown hair. His black ears sticking up out his hair made it pretty obvious he was a hybrid. He then flicked his tail out of his pants and slid out his claws. These scouting missions were his specialty, being able to blend into shadows was a major help in this field. Bunching the muscles in his legs, he sprang onto the roof of a nearby building and dug his claws into the mortar of the building. His lithe and graceful form sprang from building to building, watching the Chosens and noting every detail, for he had better vision ever since the Process had turned him into a hybrid of his human self and his black panther self. Jexica was an ocelot, with alert round ears and a dappled tail. She could have done the scouting too, but she was better at computers than Ysaac, so she stayed behind. He wondered what the new Chosens would be like, and what their hybrids would be. The Order needed new AirForces, so hopefully one of the two would be of the branch Aves. The three big branches were Reptilia, Mammalia, and Aves. Ysaac and Jexica were both from the subfamily Felidae, and his friends Sylas and Aedward were both subCanidae. Canidae are brawlers or scouts, Aves are AirForce, and depending on what kind of Felidae your hybrid was, you were either a brawler, an assassin, or a scout. Reptilia members could be brawlers, poisoners, spies, or assassins. If you were smart enough, you could apply for a job at the computer stations, no matter what branch you were from. Ysaac hadn't watched Sylas Restrepo's Choosing, but he had watched Aedward Qiu's Choosing. Aedward's Choosing had been 8 years after Ysaac's, and Sylas's Choosing was 8 years before Ysaac's. Sylas was a coyote and Aedward was a red fox. 

Antorn would be a good brawler, judging from his heavy bulk. Flyer looked like she could fight, but would rather not, so she could probably be a scout or AirForce. Ysaac watched as the two were escorted to a room where they would be introduced to their trainers. He knew who would be Antorn's trainer, it was pretty obvious that it would be Sylas. Flyer's trainer would be announced later, when she got her hybrid. So for now, Ysaac would keep close attention to both Antorn and Flyer, just in case they decide to deviate from the Cause.
