Chapter Two: The unknown RORA When Rora woke up immediatly she knew something was wrong. Her arm throbbed and she had a tingly feeling in her chest. Rora knew that this tingly feeling was bad but she wasn't sure why. Bad Rora thought again. Bad. It was just a word and she associated nothing with it. Her eyes widened in disbelief. No it can't be! Rora looked into her mind and saw nothing but her spells and a blob of white fire - her magic. This much she knew but nothing beyond that. There should be more, thought Rora. She dove into her mind again this time deeper, and there it was a wall. It was black as night and smooth as could be. A mind block! I can't climb over this, thought Rora. So she improvised she took all of her magic and pounded at the wall in her mind, a small dent appeared. This is going to take a while Rora groans internally. A healer woman walked up to her and Rora held out her aching arm. She could heal it herself but she was using all of her power on this darn wall! Then every thing got quiet and a mans voice said: "Welcome to your home." Rora then found that she was being dragged out of her mind and back into the real world like a fish out of water. The man who had spoken stared at her and then began to speak again. "Welcome to your home." he repeated, "battle camp!" Whispers of excitement raced like spiders across the room, only a few stayed silent, Rora observed those who did. A boy who had a terrible cut on his back was one, another was the boy who sat next to her he had brown hair and a long sword attached by his hip. There was one other boy who stayed silent, he had many throwing knifes. "Here at battle camp you will be put into groups of four these will be your room mates." he said after the whispers ended. "they will also be who you train with. You will have a commander to lead you, a Mage to sheild you, an archer or a knife thrower to cover your backs, and one skilled in hand-to-hand combat to protect you.". More whispers as people wondered what they would be. "I will put you into your groups now. Alex: commander." he said and waited, " Well come on up!" he said impatiantly. Alex stepped cautiosly to the front. "Jason: Mage, Jasmine: archer, Pory: protecter" they all walked to the front. "Folow the soldier he will take you to your dorm." Then without missing a beat he began again. "Talon: commander, Rora: Mage, Luke: knife thrower, Shorlorn: protecter."he called. I observed my group, the large boy with the cut was Shorlorn, our protector, Luke was the boy with the many knifes, and Talon was the boy that sat next to me, our commander. We folowed a soldier out of the big room and into a narrow hall. We were thrown together with people we'd never met before and yet we walked off into the unknown with only each other.
