"Is everything ready for the ritual?" inside a large room filled with many pillars several red hooded people were standing in a circle, at their feet strange markings decorated the floor.

"Yes master the ritual will begin at your command," said one of the red hooded men.

"Very well then, let us begin the ritual and may the divines guide our way!" the red-hooded man that spoke the loudest raised his hands, from his hands a strange red light emanated.

In similar fashion, the other red hooded men raised their arms and the light shone, it was not long before the strange markings on the floor started to shine as well.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ahh, another Monday and another day at school, seriously who ever made school must have been a crazy fool" a short black haired boy that carried a backpack on his back spoke while he yawned.

"I agree, there is nothing worse than a Monday worst out of all school days" another boy that walked beside the black short haired boy spoke, he had a long blond hair.

"By the way, Mike did you play it last night?" the blond haired boy asked Mike while they kept walking.

"Yeah John as I have told you three times already I did, you are relly a forgetfully one aren't you?" Mike spoke as he shook his head left and right. 

"Hahaha, I am just messing with you!" John started laughing hard, this made Mikes eye twitch like he was about to hit John straight in the face.

As the two messed around a chime was heard from the direction they were headed to, it was a bell of their school and it was a signalizing that the classes were about to start.

"Oh damn, we are gonna be late run!" John stopped laughing and put on a serious face as he started running towards the school.

"I know! This is all because of you!" Mike started running as well.

"Alright class lets see who is missing today" inside a classroom about twenty people were sitting on their chairs, just two of them were vacant as the owners had not shown up yet.

Female teacher wearing thin glasses and she was a real hottie most likely still in her twenties, reached out for a book that was on her desk

"Teacher let me save you some trouble we are all here, except Mike and John" a girl with brown hair stood up from her seat and pointed at the two vacant chairs.

"Sigh" 

"It's those two again seriously what am I going to do about them, thank you Milly you may sit down" the female teacher massaged her forehead as she wrote something in her book.

Suddenly the door of the classroom opened loudly and two boys ran inside, there were breathing heavily as they ran as fast as they could.

"Sor.....sorry we are late.." Mike spoke as he tried to catch his breath.

"Yh....yeah" John only confirmed.

"Sigh, just sit down already so I can begin my class" the teacher spoke as she reached out for a chalk so she could start her lecture.

The two boys grinned as they looked at each other and went to their seats.

"Oh and I am taking notes about how many time you were late just to inform you" the teacher didn't even turn around as she spoke her words.

The grin from before that was seen on their faces was now completely gone and they became faces of despair.

"Well, at least she didn't ask us anything" John looked at Mike and whispered.

"Yeah I guess we are lucky" Mike replied as he watched the female teacher and her lecture.

Mike started sweating, he looked at the others and noticed that they all had the same problem even the teacher.

Mike raised his hand "excuse me but could I open the window?" Mike asked the female teacher.

She turned around "yes please do, for some reason, it is really hot, how strange".

Mike stood up and walked over to the window, he reached out his hand and as soon as he was about to open the window his body stopped.

"What the hell?!" Mike raised his voice but that was the only thing he could do.

"What is going on?!"

"I can't move my body!" the other students and even the teacher yelled loudly, they could still speak but their bodies were frozen in place.

Suddenly strange markings filled the classroom, they started to shine bright red as they filled every corner of the classroom.

"This can't be good!" Mike yelled as he looked at the glowing markings.

The room became bright red and forced all of the students and the teacher to close their eyes, as it was too bright to look at anything.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back inside the room filled with pillars and strange looking signs inside a circle and the red hooded men something new appeared.

It was a group of strangely clothed people that just appeared inside a circle they still haven't opened their eyes.

The loudest red hooded man from before raised his arms as if he was about to hug someone, then he spoke.

"I welcome you oh saviors to our world Iulia once again!" then he bowed deeply as did the rest of the red hooded people.

"What....what the hell is this Iulia?? Where the hell are we!" the student raised their voices and started to panic they were, after all, brought to some strange place and were surrounded by even stranger hooded people.

"Hey Mike" John whispered quietly.

"What is it, John?" Mike replied.

"Doesn't this stuff happen only in stories and games?" John asked Mike quietly but he had shiny eyes like a kid that found a new toy.

"Yeah, it does" Mike replied as he started to look around.

"Where are we and who the hell are you people!?" the female teacher stepped out of the crowd of students and raised her voice, it seemed like she was trying to protect the students.

"Now now there is no reason to be afraid I will lead you to our king now where everything shall be explained please follow me" the red-hooded man spoke as he walked towards the large wooden door.

"I am not following you anywhere and neither are these kids!" the teacher yelled back at the hooded man.

"Hoh, is that so" he turned around and spoke with no so gentle voice anymore, some red smoke started rising from him, he extended his hand towards the wall of the room.

"If you don't follow this will happen" a small red ball emerged from his hand and flew straight at the room wall it made a loud sound as it collided with the wall.

"Aaaaa!!" the students started screaming mostly females.

"See it is better to follow me, so come now we should not keep the king waiting for any longer" he returned his voice to the previous one that seemed no harm whatsoever.

"Kids lets do what he says for now" the teacher spoke to the students, her forehead was covered in sweat.

They all nodded and started to follow the red-hooded man.
