Strength and Weaknesses

11 - Training Day

Two days passed and we're all prepared. After school, we met up with Mrs. Cadence in her classroom to go to her house. Or wherever we're going.

"Did anyone see you?" Mrs. Cadence asked. "No, why?" Kyler asked. "Don't ask questions until we get to my house. After training, I'll give you guys something to eat." She suggested. "I thought we were training not have a barbecue." Nevaeh joked.

Mrs. Cadence grabbed her belongings and headed out of the classroom. We followed behind her as we got to her van.

"I bought this so we could all fit in." She said. Kyler and Nevaeh sat in the middle and Caesar and I sat in the back. "You knew this day would come?" I asked. "Yes indeed. You guys seemed like the type of kids who would help me save the world." Who knew a history teacher could be so chill.

She drove out of the parking lot and made a couple of turns.

"Can you turn on some music? It feels plain in here." Kyler said. Of course he'd say that. He's always complaining on how things feel and seem plain. "Sure." Mrs. Cadence turned on the radio and kept driving.

We pulled up to her large modern house. "Whoa." Caesar said looking out of the window. "Trust me, it gets bigger. My husband and I searched the whole area of Layloa Oasis to find a place where we could build our house. We needed it to be as big as it can be." She bragged.

We got out of the car and walked inside. All four of us stopped in our tracks with our jaws dropped.

"Holy." Nevaeh said.

"Mother." Caesar said.

"Of." I said.

"The." Kyler said.

"Wolves." We said.

"C'mon now. It's not that big. Now, follow me to the entrance of the arena." Mrs. Cadence said peacefully. We all looked at each other like we were all living a dream.

We followed her to her basement where there was tables and potions everywhere. "I thought we were training. Not going to science class." Nevaeh complained. "No, no sweet child. This is just the entrance." Her hand gestured to the empty brick wall. "Um... Mrs. Cadence, there's nothing there." I stated. "Oh yes, I forgot."

She positioned her right hand above her to find the opening. "There you are. I always forget where the scanner is." Mrs. Cadence placed her hand on a square-shaped brick and pressed down on it.

"I regret calling her crazy." Kyler whispered. A doorway slid open and she walked in. Yo, what the hell is going on here?

"Well what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Caesar yelled out. He walked into the void of darkness leading into a room. Kyler and Nevaeh walked in together with no hesitation.

"What are you waiting for, babe?" Caesar said reaching his hand out for mine. "Uh... I don't know, I just— ah!" He pulled me in with him leading the way.

In a blink of an eye, I was in a expanded room with brown stone walls. Leaning against them was weapons, armor, more potions, and water stations. Kyler ran over to the armor and started to examine them.

"Wow. This armor has an amazing taste of metal. The colors are so gradient and majestic." He described them. He ran his fingers through the silver armor that caught his eye. "Kyler!" Nevaeh yelled out. "What I'm speaking the truth."

"Alright pups. I know that Caesar and Mia are Alphas but until training is over,I'm your Alpha." Mrs. Cadence said. "Awh, no fair." Caesar complained.

"Caesar, you grab a sword. Mia, grab a staff and a sword. Kyler and Nevaeh get a bow and arrow." She demanded. It's pretty cool how I get a sword and a staff. Caesar grabbed a long purple sword and spun in around his hand like he knew how to use it.
