The Risen

Rise Of Fort Black Pt.5

Dante
I left my house a few hours ago, Rielly and I were up in the mountains somewhere trying to find a place called "Fort Black"

We reached the edge of the mountain and saw Fort Black, there was over fifty people gathered around the thick ice layer underneath it.

"Come on" Rielly spoke walking down a path that leads down to the ice walkway.

I didn't like the idea of being in a group setting, but I was to distracted to think clearly anyways, for now I releyed on Rielly to keep us both alive.

When we made it to the bottom, we got in line in what appeared to be the line of entrance.

People had backpacks, suitcases and other items from there homes.

Me, I just had the clothes on my back, a necklace with my wife's name on it and a crossbow with a few arrows.

A few people got denied due to there injurys, age or lack of abilitys.

When we were next, the guards looked us over and asked Rielly a few questions.

I wasn't paying attention, I just kept replying last night in my head over and over again.

We were accepted and I snapped back to reality, I followed Rielly up the stairs into Fort Black.

We were brought to a small room with two sets of bunk beds.

There was already a man sitting in one of the bottom bunks reading a novel, he had short ponytail, a small beard, and had brown hair.

He sat up as we walked in.

"Are you guys my roommates?" The man asked.

I jumped up to the second bunk, and as I suspected the mattress sucked.

"I guess so, names Rielly" Rielly spoke to the man shaking his hand.

"James, pleasure"

James looked over to me.

"Hm? Oh Dante" I spoke roughly.

Suddenly the intercom system turned on.

"Would all new accept visitors please report to the cafeteria" the intercom lady spoke.

I jumped down from my bed and walked out of the small bedroom. Rielly and James were close behind me as I walked out into the hallway.

It was packed with people all making there way to the cafeteria, but there was also a large assortment if luggage that wasn't brought into the bedrooms yet.

"Inconsiderate, assholes" I mumbled.

After I made it to the cafeteria, I stood in line, in what I assumed was some form of questioning again.

When it was my turn I walked into a white room, with a desk, and sitting behind it was a woman, there were also two armed guards standing behind her in either corner of the room. I sat down in a chair on the other side of the desk.

"Hello, my name is Grace Faraway, I'm gonna ask you a few questions about yourself to help us figure how you can help us here at Fort Black, is that alright?" She asked politely.

"Yeah, sure whatever" I spoke sitting back in a chair with my arms crossed.

"Alright, let's start with the basics, what's you name?" She asked.

"Dante Hanson" I answered honestly, still keeping my arms crossed.

"Alright, and did you come here with anyone?" She asked holding a clipboard filling out my answers on it.
