Kloe had been wakened by someone slamming her door open. As she got up, she heard someone yell "Morning newbie!" down the hall.

Kloe got up, and looked to the bed stand beside the bed. There were folded clothes sitting there. Kloe got up and closed the door. She returned to the bed stand, then put on the clothes. She found it a tad creepy how the clothes fit her perfectly. She opened the door, and walked out of the caves, seeing some nymphs in front of her. As her eyes got used to the new found light, she saw that mostly all of the other nymphs were asleep. "Morning Tigers!" Verde said as he walked in front of the group.

Kloe took her place behind a nymph with swamp green hair and skin. They didn't give any reaction, and if something blew up in front of them, Kloe doubted that they would react. Verde walked around the nymphs, walking past where Kloe was standing. "Start with the warm-up" Verde said.

The nymphs all walked off, starting their warm-ups, leaving Kloe standing still, looking around awkwardly. She walked over to Verde, who was watching the young nymphs do their warm-ups. "Verde, what am I supposed to do as a warm-up?" Kloe asked.

"You can either choose from 50 push ups on your knuckles, or 120 squats" Verde said, no emotion showing on his face.

Kloe's jaw dropped, and her eyes widened. She was about to question him, when a thought occurred to him. The nymphs are a society of warriors, meaning they could endure more than humans could. "umm, I don't think I can do tha-"Kloe was cut off by Verde raising his hand to silence her.

"I'm aware humans don't have the same amount of strength as us nymphs. Which is why you'll be warming up with me" Verde said as he walked off.

Kloe looked back to the nymphs. Every one of them were staring at her with glares on their faces, never blinking. Kloe shivered, turned around, and ran to catch up with Verde. Verde had lead her to a training mat, swords were stacked up to the right. Verde grabbed a sword, and Kloe pulled out her sword. "Make sure you have proper stance!" Verde shouted at her.

It went on like this for the entire day before Verde had finally let Kloe leave. Kloe walked back to where she saw the other nymphs warming-up, to see all of them gone. Kloe shrugged, and decided to try to find Pele, Alice, Juniper, and Agua. As she started walking off, she was stopped by some one grabbing her arm and pulling her back. She turned around and saw three nymphs, two boys and a girl. The two boys looked like twins. They both had dark blue hair and light swamp green skin. Their hair looked like it had been tinted by sand. 

The girl was the same girl that was in front of her before the warm-up had started. Kloe could now see her ivy green eyes that looked like lily pads. "So, human, do you think that just because you have that sword that your more important than us?" One of the boys said, glaring at Kloe.

"No?" Kloe said, confused as to what they were talking about.

Someone's shadow loomed over Kloe. Whoever it was made the three young nymphs look terrified, and run away. Kloe turned around, and saw a male nymph. He had light blue hair, which gradually turned darker that went down to just below his shoulders. He had dark blue skin. He stared down at her with glowing neon blue eyes. "I'm going to suppose that you're Kloe?" He asked.

Kloe nodded. The nymph turned around and walked off, expecting Kloe to follow him. They had walked towards the ice building in the center of the caves. They went inside, and Kloe saw the guardians with Pacific, Arctic, and Antarctic. Alice looked over to Kloe, looking bored out of her mind. Once she saw Kloe, her face lightened up. Alice was probably someone who didn't like old timers talk. "Hey Kloe!" She said, energetic as ever.

Everyone looked to Kloe, and she froze, eyes darting from person to person. She only now noticed that the nymph that had lead her here took a seat next to Pacific, a sea turtle to his right. "Thank you for bringing her here Atlantic" Pacific said, looking to the nymph next to her.

Atlantic just gave a short nod, them closed his eyes and started meditating. "So, did anything happen at practice, Kloe?" Alice asked, excited for the answer.

"Aside for learning the basics, not really. But, the nymphs there were all glaring at me, and there were three that started questioning me after the fact. Atlantic, being there made them run away" Kloe explained.

Agua looked to her nervously, almost as if knowing this was going to happen. "I'm not surprised! Atlantic does a great job at scaring people!" Pacific said, trying not to laugh as Atlantics eyebrow twitched. 

"It was still weird though. It's almost like every nymph there hated me. But they couldn't


Right?"
