Chereads / Verge: It all started here / Chapter 5 - First Morning

Chapter 5 - First Morning

They entered various doors and halls, after walking through the silence of these whole structures they entered in a cornered room.

Professor Czar: " Rudra, This whole eternity is part of a single consciousness which is not bounded by dimensions of perception. Your race has a great ability to control AjnA chakra far more than anyone, that made them an enemy to other races and to themselves. Although you're one of few from your kin who survived and to uphold this eternity, balance is necessary. You are one of the few who have a duty to uphold. This place is called Verge and this is where we try to maintain balance."

Every word was clear as glass in this silence but nothing makes sense, life has always been about hunting and surviving, that's what he knew and that's what he cared for but with this whole new chaos, he wasn't even able to frame a question, nothing makes sense. His head starts hurting.

"Is it a dream?"

" No, how it could be."

"I'll wake up."

He sat down where he was standing, closed his eyes and started taking a long breath.

"This uneasiness is pretty common for the first time, your body is trying to get through the fatigue and strain because of your travel, I'll escort you to your room. " Professor Czar said.

And that feeling of dizziness engulfed him.

He was trying to close his eyes but the sunlight was on his face, everything around him seems calm and serene, he wanted to sleep more and hence he grabbed the pillow and put it on his face, he wanted to dream more and suddenly a big black cloak appeared and Rudra freaked out and was sitting on his bed within a brink, trying to catch his breath, he looked outside just to confirm that this all was a dream but those turrets still stand tall.

Rudra was trying to grab his breath when someone spoke from above,

"Hello"

Rudra looked toward the top bed that was in front of him and saw a boy smiling and uttered, "Hello ".

"My name is Xian, I'm from Shikagan City, its not special place but we have the sweetest berry in the whole realm and I have heard you are an Anyan ", asked Xian.

Rudra was trying to catch his breath and was surprised by this sudden appearance of Xian and responded, "I don't know but Aragorn and Professor called me with that name".

"Then you must be, Aragorn is never wrong, I'll call myself a chicken if Aragorn told me I'm a chicken", Xian giggled.

Rudra smiled a bit and asked, "what is this place ?"

"This is verge where the best of all realms are trained in order to stabilise balance among them", replied Xian and started watching Rudra, if there was something unusual about him, and said again, "Everyone was talking about you here, some say you all become wolves at night and you on Earth eat a single human every day although I read about it so I know that's not right, that's not right na? ", Xian waited to get a response from Rudra.

Rudra, "No, I haven't known what you all are calling me and I think I'm as human as anyone on Earth."

"Oh! I see", replied Xian.

"We both are required to assemble on war ground, Professor Czar has asked me, I was waiting for you to wake up so get ready for your first day, arent you excited about it", smiled Xian and jumped from the top of the bed and showed him the way to the washroom.

Rudra smiled back and walked towards the washroom.

It was pretty big almost as big as his shack, hot water was falling from a small opening on top and at the bottom, there was small pond like structure, it looks like someone has cut a hot stream and have pasted here, Rudra entered the spring and closed his eyes and when opened saw Xian watching him standing on the door smiling.

Rudra was going to say something when Xian uttered, "I know this all is so soothing but I don't think you want to be on the hit list of everyone on the very first day and apart from that Professors will be there so be fast ", smiled and turned back for room.
