The battle room is dark. And wet for that matter. "Welcome, Shadow and Oceanic. The areana is set so there are advantages and disadvantages for each side." That's Seth's voice, I think, "Hayden and Sammy both will be watching for whoever wins and injuries." "Yeah, or spear-the-dummest-person-first game. I like them both." Kayla wispers to me, cracking me up at her sense of humor.
Logan falls into the water when he takes a step by mistake, making us all nearly fall into the water. "Right, so the areana is probaly all water, but dark." Logan sputters out after Ankith drags him out. "No dip sherlock" we all his at him. DON'T JUDGE MEH!! "Robin, swim to the bottom, see if you get bearings on where Oceanic is, and test h-." Ankith says to me like I'm a little kid. I got fed up, kicked him in between the legs, and jumped in. 'Right, think'n ahead. They wanted me to do some stuff... oh yeah!' I swim to the bottom, draw some goggles with my finger (using some of the magic Braylon showed me), only to be cut off by a strong kick to the gut. The goggles were half made in my hand, giving me some sort of traction on the slick ground. Before they can land another hit, I kick them swiftly in the spine, allowing me to push off torward to surface. "Ok, Oceanic is all ready down there," I pant while treading water, "Kayla, edge your way around the land and see what we've got." Kayla nodded at me, and took off. After about five minutes, she came back, paler than normal (she's tan, growing up on a farm before it was burned down by creepers during the night). Panting, she explains how the who peice of land is shrinking, and by how fast it's going, we've only got about five minutes. And also how this is the literal only sliver of land. "REAL NICE!" Logan yells into the darkness while the rest of us dive in, dragging him with us, not caring what happened afterwords, I just didn't want to dunked into the water.
Hayden's POV (didn't see that coming?! Or did you...)
Seth. Is. Crazy. "Seth, Oceanic has 100 well trained men. I only have four untrained, new, and inexperienced men. AND YOU THINK THEY'LL WIN?!?!?!" I yell/whisper to him. To be honest, I wanted to see how they would handle it... I'm a horrible person, aren't I?
A kid tugs at my way to big (but comfy) jacket sleeves, "Ma'am, Jenna said you can come and get him now." I nod my head and give the kid a peice of sour candy. The kid pops it in his mouth, and by the way he looked, it was just Braylon morphed as kid to fool me. Rolling my eyes, I storm out, punching Seth on my way out.
Jenna had said Daniel was in bad shape, but yesh! The kid was shaking and looking off into space. Me being, well, me I 'looked' into his mind, only to be met by a solid wall of mental power. Smiling, I realized why he was able to act so well. This was what he had been working on the entire time, this was what had been sapping his energy. Still grinning, I say loudly, "Daniel, I'm Hayden. I'm going to train you along with Robin, Kayla, Logan, and Ankith. Listen, hold my hand and we are going to watch the others, well, as soon as you relax your mind." He looked at me like I was insane. Sighing, I explained. "I'm going to send you mental images of what's going around you/me." "Oh, that makes sense." Daniel hops up, and follows me like he could see.
End Of Chapter
HAI THERE PEEP ARMY!!! Here's a quick recap!
Hayden's convinced Jenna to let Daniel out. About time too. As it turns out, Daniel isn't as hopeless as he seems at first sight. Hayden's going to 'show' him around by projecting images to his mind, scaring the living chiz out of him at first. Also, should Dan be a necromancer? Tell me what you think in the comment below! THANK YOU FOR BEING AWEMAZING!!!
