I woke up with a start. Blade shaking me awake. "It's the day! The Trials! Let's go. Let's go. Let's Go!" His voice was the opposite of what I was feeling right now. My whole body ached and a splitting headache thundered in my mind. Oh my Cerris! This is what a hangover felt like. I rubbed my temples, trying to chase the headache away. "You okay bro?" Blade asked worry painted evidently on his face. I gave him a curt nod, I feared that giving him anything more would make my head explode.
"You go on first. I still need to shower." I told Blade. He gave me one last look before skipping happily out of the room. I sighed. Blade, how will you survive in the Trials with such child-like insolence at sixteen. Sixteen! I sighed again and made my way to the toilet. I stepped into the utilitarian shower. I set the water's temperature to the max and hoped the hot water would chase away this stupid headache.
After getting out of the shower, I quickly got dreesed, picking a White SecSkin suit for the trials. I looked at the Suit dispenser, and selected all of the things I wanted for the Trials. Multi-Tool, Insta-Food, Magi-Water Bottles, Fusi-Charges and much more technical specifications for my suit. I stepped into the machine. A thin blue beam of light started to scan my body, starting from the top and ending at the bottom. Soon another beam of light started to follow suit, this time it was green. Once the light touched the tip of my head I felt the suit start to materialise. Once I was done, I stepped off and deactivated my helmet and rushed off to the Dining Hall.
Once I reached the dining hall, I took my seat beside Blade. "Oi! What took you so long? You almost missed the opening ceremony!" (Start music) I was about to respond but a loud horn sounded, cutting my sentence short. Blade pointed excitedly at the stage, mouthing the words The high Chancellor of Werris!(stop reading here until the first horn is joined by the second.) Once the horn blower seemed to have lost his breath, a brass ensemble started to play. Officially starting the opening ceremony of The Trials.
The music struck something within me, sending ice cold pinpricks of fear into my skin, making goosebumps appear on my whole body. (Wait here for the pause)
The curtain parted, revealing a young man about two or three years older than me, dressed in a fine white cloak, he walked slowly making sure he intimidated all of us. Then he caught my eye and my breath caught, he looked at me with a smugness that infuriated me. He continued walking, making quick glances at the women on the sides and the young girls sitting down, making them sigh and some even fainting. Womanizer. As the music was ending he took a seat at the throne prepared for him. That smug smile still plastered on his face. He shrugged off his cloak, revealing a short-sleeved shirt that seemed barely able to contain his bulging muscles making even more of the ladies faint. Once he was settled, the room was deathly silent. He was seated facing us, he picked up the mic that was beside his plate.

"Good day people of Werris Orphanage, I am the newly appointed High Chancellor of Werris your lovely yet humble district, I am here on my first erand as High Chancellor. Conducting the briefing for The Trials."
