CHAPTER 2: OUR FIRST MISSION

Now, where do I find Seren, Kotaru, Riven, and Ezren?

"Hi, you’re Enichan, right?" A voice called out.

I turned around. It was a boy with a confident smirk. Ezren.

"Yeah, I’m Enichan. You’re Ezren, right?"

"Yep, that’s me. And… you’re the leader, huh?" He studied me, almost as if he was trying to figure something out.

"Hmm, yeah, I guess so. Did you get your guardian… thingy too?"

Ezren sighed. "Yeah. What am I even supposed to do with this?"

I shrugged. "No idea. But right now, can you help me find Seren, Kotaru, and Riven?"

Ezren nodded. "Sure."

As we walked through the corridor, we spotted Kotaru and Riven talking to Seren. They seemed to be deep in discussion, probably about the same weird nature stuff that had thrown my life into chaos.

I stepped forward. "Hi! I’m Enichan. Nice to meet you guys."

Kotaru eyed me coolly. "So you’re Enichan."

"Yesuu," I replied with a grin.

Seren crossed her arms. "Did any of you figure out what we’re supposed to do next?"

Ezren and I exchanged glances. Before I could answer, a strange gust of wind blew through the corridor, carrying a whisper only we could hear.

"The first trial awaits... the roots of the past must be unearthed."

Kotaru’s eyes narrowed. "Did you guys hear that?"

Riven nodded. "Yeah. Looks like our mission just found us."

Seren glanced at me. "Leader, what’s our move?"

I took a deep breath. This was it. Our journey had begun
