WARNING

Depictions of blood and gore

*****************

The meeting ended and Nova followed Faila down the long hallways and corridors. They left the building and continued across the gardens to a large building it was oval shape and pure white made from Sarivioliem mined from the deep ocean of the Orusivin empire, in the kingdom of Jasula.

They approached the building and entered through the silver wooden doors. The inside of the building was the same as the outside with a large open field for training, sparring, and practice.

Soldiers spread out here and their some were practicing, some sparring, while the rest were training. Faila led Nova across to a empty patch of dirt.

"Okay, first I want to see how good you are!?" Faila commanded crossing her arms, "show me what you know! Move me from here to here." She finished as she walked a couple feet back and drew a line in the sand before walking back to her previous position, with her sword in hand.

"Yes comander!" Nova saluted as she prepped herself, as Faila threw a wooden sword toward her, "then show me!"

Nova caught the sword and attacked Faila who easily knocked her back, "is that all you got?" She asked as she stepped back, "try again!"

Nova continued to attack Faila but no matter how she attacked, Faila wouldn't buge.

Nova finally collapsed exhausted panting out of breathe, "ugh! Why are you so heavy!?" She complained as she plopped onto the floor.

"You need alot more battle training, Im going to demonstrate some battle movies then I want you to practice!" Faila said as she turned to a white haired soldier who was training with a blonde, "Nikta come here please!"

The white haired lady approached them gracefully, stopping just in front of Faila to salute her, "Yes Genral! You wish to see me?" She politely asked, "Yes, Nova this is Nikta, Nikta this is Nova! Nova you'll Practice your battle moves with her got it!" Faila introduced them with a commanding tone.

"Yes genral!" The two said in unison, "good now I'll demonstrate! And i want you two to practice it!"

Faila walked away a came back a few minutes later carrying a wooden dummy. she placed it in the middle of the field before stepping back. She demonstrated three consecutive slashes at the dummy.

"Okay now it's your turn practices on eachother and I'll correct your mistakes, got it!?" Faila said as she stopped and put her sword back into its sheath.

"Yes ma'am!!" The two responded as they turned to face eachother.

******************

Nova returned to her room exhausted from training all day, Faila made sure Nova at least knew two moves before she left the training grounds.

The other trainee was very chatty while they were training, Nova wouldn't mind training if shes able to hang out with people like Nikta. Nikta was kind and sweet, and fun to hang with they were fastly becoming friends.

Nova closed her door and walked toward her bed collapsing onto it exhausted and fell asleep.

******************

Nova walked through a dark forest, ahead of her standing over bloody bodies was her sister, She turned around her face twisting and shadows swallowed her face. Nova opened her mouth to speak or scream but nothing came out as the ghostly figure approached her.

Nova stepped back and felt her feet touch something warm and wet, glancing down she sees her sisters body floating in the bloody water not moving. Panick seized her, she turned and bolted through the trees from the creature that followed her.

She ran into a tree slamming her head on it, as her eyes flew open the scenery changed to her bedroom. She was panting heavily sweat running down her body.
