Flying through the air, I felt a tug of unease in my heart. Even though I plan to go to that city, there was something off about it. Especially the white robed man. Burying my feelings into my heart, I found Jane and Tank. Descending I already began reversing my transformation and became human a meter before landing.

Jane - "So did you find anyone?"

Thad - "Well...Yeah."

Tank - "I had my doubts, but you are more useful than you seem."

Jane - "Tank....Sighs...Anyways, lead the way Thad."

Thad - "Okay, lets go." I say a little light hearted. We start moving in the direction of gate, that I found before. After moving for an hour or so, we notice it in the distance. Unlike before, the gate has way more guards covering it, as well as more people from the plains.

We were slowly approaching, when 'Tank' stepped on a twig and SNAP!

Guards - "Who's there! Come out now!" They yelled in unison.

Coming out of the forest we all raised our hands in surrender. After the guards saw our clothing their attitudes, seemed to have done a one eighty.

Jane - "Umm, we are the  'Destined Ones'.."

Guards  - "Of course! Let me personally welcome you into this find city." He says with a little anxiety in his voice.

Three guards stood in front of us, one in front. The others on the sides. The one in front was the guard who was so friendly before. He started to engage Jane in idle talk.

Guard - "My name is Trent, I'm the Guard Captain of the City of 'kin'. Welcome!" He says opening the door with a flourish. I wasn't really expecting anything but it was breath taking.

The place was overcrowded, with people on the cobble stone pavements. Some were dressed in long robes, while others in medieval armour. There were huge buildings as well, some were at least 10 stories high. Even though they were medieval style buildings, they had a sort of allure to them.

While walking all of us had a daze expressions on our faces. I was the first to snap out of it and notice the condescending looks being sent our way.

Changing my hearing to make it sharper, I reconstruct the internal shape of my ear drum, so it can receive sounds more clearly. I would change the form of my ear but I didn't want to be notice. Suddenly some softly spoken words reached my ears.

Crowd - "People from the other world huh. Weak. That girl..looks cute, we should get her for ourselves."

A realisation hit me, these people weren't the ones from the plane. But knew our origins meaning they were people from the same world. But came before us, still thinking about the new information, I gained. I was lightly tapped on the shoulder.

Jane - "Thad, come back to earth. We arrived.....somewhere."

Trent - "This is called the training academy for 'Destined Ones'. They tell you more, once you enter.

Tank - "Does that mean your not entering?" still a little amazed at the earlier scene.  

Trent - "Yeah, only high ranking official or nobles of the sort can enter." He said with a forced smile.

Trent walked up to the building with a huge wooden door, with weird rune symbols and knocked on it.

?? - "Who is it?" asked a squeaky voice.

Trent - "I brought the destined ones." He said apprehensively.

?? - "Leave. The destined ones can come in." said the voice with a little arrogance in its voice.

Trent bid us fare well and left, once he was quite a distance away. The squeaky voice spoke again.

?? - "Come in." suddenly the runes on the wooden door glowed and the door creaked open.

Hesitantly looking at each other we stepped in through the door. Another exquisite sight stood before us that we were once again dumbfounded. So much, that  we didn't hear the door shut behind us.

It was a tall castle like building that glowed all seven colours of the rainbow randomly. There stood another gate in front of it. It wasn't wooded but made of stone and had the same kind of runes on it.

Walking up to it, we noticed a person standing near the gate. She was the most beautiful girl that I ever saw. She had long platinum hair that went down to her waist, bright green eyes. As well as curves in all the right places. But the most distinct thing about her was her ears. They were longer than any normal ear should be.

When I looked to my left, I saw Tank looking at her lustfully. While Jane glanced at him in disgust. As we walked up to her, to ask her about this place.....

Beautiful Girl - "Hello 'destined ones'. My name is Layla and I'm an elf if your wondering. Since most of you have no knowledge about my race. This place is called the 'Truman Institute'. It's a combination of a magus and warrior academy. You will train here, but you can leave anytime. Now follow me. " Turning on her heels she passed through the gate, in a elegant fashion

Feeling a little lost we followed the minute we tried to pass through the gate. The runes flashed briefly and we managed to get on the other side.

Layla - "So you really are 'destined one'. Every year we get some spies trying pass off as 'destined ones'  and enter the institute. So excuse me from my earlier attitude." She said with a mischievous smile.

Entering the 'Truman Institute'. The only thing on my mind was races, there were different kind of races in this world. Does that mean there are perhaps 'dwarves' from fairy tales or dragons. This discovery made adrenaline rush through my body and my heart pump for adventure.

Suddenly, the long hall way we were following Layla on came to a stop. Looking up there was a normal door with runes again. Layla looked towards us with some expectation and we knew what we had to do.

Walking through the door, we entered a room surrounded in runes and people. Most of the people were the ones from the 'plain'. Suddenly a young woman, with much experience in her eyes walked up to the stage. She was a beauty as well  she had blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. She then began to speak.

?? - "Welcome 'Destined ones' to the 'Truman Institute.........'"
