I was so tired at the end of the day. Ace, Deon and I had great control over our elements. This took a lot out of me as I had to use up most of my mana. There I was lying on my bed I closed my eyes and drifted into darkness. There was a voice. He was screaming out in pain. I saw Ace chained on the floor Deon was bleeding out on the floor next to a girl that I didn’t recognise but I felt like I should know her. She had blue hair and she looked like a noble. Her skin was whiter than snow. Her azure coloured eyes looked life less. I looked behind me and saw a girl chained to the wall. It shocked me. It was Yun! She was barely holding onto life. She had a cut on her face and her long blond hair was cut. I heard a door open. I turned my head and saw Fen being dragged in with another boy. He had the same faded marks as Ace!

I looked at Ace and he was shocked as he mouthed the word “brother”. He was through in next to me. I saw the boy before. I knew him. My mouth opened and I said in a deep voice “hay! Don.” The boy looked at me and he said “What do you want?”

“Let’s get out of here. All of us. We don’t leave a person behind including you.”

“Do you have a plan?”

“Of course I do. It’s me man.” I replied. Then I was dragged out of the dream. There was a man that looked exactly like me. No it was more like I looked like him. He was clearly an adult. He said to me “hello what’s your name?” I looked at him as I unconsciously replied “Zou Shen” he eyed me wearily and he said “so you’re my decedent. That’s weird how can I be reincarnated into my one descendent? Boy my name is Zou Nin. I am your ancestor and you are me.” I saw a picture of Ace, Deon, the noble girl from the dream and another girl that wasn’t there. I suddenly was through back into the dream and I saw the girl break through the wall and she shouted “Well what are you waiting for? Let’s go!”

I woke up. I saw my room. It looked exactly like my old room. I opened my closet and all my clothes were there. I looked at them in awe. They were here. I left them behind for a reason. I didn’t want to remember those times were everyone mocked and made fun of me. I got changed into a green shirt with a black dragon on it. This was the symbol of the Zou family. I put on some black trousers and a coat. I walked out of my room. It was the furthest away from the door. Ace and Deon were in between Fen and I. This was because they didn’t want us to fight. It was Fen, Deon, Ace then me.

I walked into the living room. Ace and Deon were having a serious conversation and they looked at me. “Come we need to talk.” Deon said in a serious tone. I walked over and then I saw Deon bleeding from the shoulder. “What happened?” I asked. He looked solemnly at me.

“We were attacked. It seems that it is a tradition to attack the newcomers the first month. They focused on us since we were from Gaianta.” Ace answered.

“Oh. Shit! Why didn’t you wake me up?” I asked

“Well we were to busy fighting for our lives so we didn’t have time. We held them off so I think that they will come again tonight. Try to stay awake just in case.” Deon replied. “Heal him” the voice in my head said. A spell appeared in my head. I focused. A tree appeared and it wrapped around Deon’s arm. The blood lessened and I heard a sigh of relief from Deon. “Are you good?” I asked him. He looked at me stunned as the tree reacted he said “Yes. Where did you learn to do that?”

“It just appeared in my head.” I replied. “Any way lets go to the field. We’ll talk on the way there.”
