Early the next day the gods children entered the portal first heading for better education, finally the few remaining were allowed to enter. I felt hostile eyes on my back but those I was leaving behind it was the ones gone before that worried me. Especially that damm professors eyes that flickered with hatred and loathing as if I just shot in his shoes or broke his smart phone.
We seemed to step from normal into the now abnormal, the large hall way lead straight forward towards a massive stage where many adults stood. In addition there were teachers seating in box seats which floated at various levels. My best guess was that they indicated status with the lower ones having The least and The two massive thrones on top for The queen and king gods of The school.
The sides held tons of bleachers that stacked in extended upward for at least 50 sets of seats most of which were filled. The few empty ones at the floor level only offered a small mat on the floor with a small desk over it. More then likely for us final and last students entering into this domain. Massive beasts stood at the entrances with armoured guards riding upon them.
In addition thier were people floating by on disk with following stacks of books these people seemed to be delivering books to students in differing rows. It was really intimidating to me especially since It was so far removed from any natural things. Other then us and the beast every thing was processed there was not even any food within the hall.
We were asked to sit with a glare and a wave of a hand from what I assumed were servants of some kind. They were small mechanized beings that only stood about two feet tall but they had six arms and six legs a number many said was lucky well driving from three's of coarse. Once settled down on our little mats the mechanical started handed out a small pamphlet to each student starting at the top and working downward.
At the same time Thoth floated onto the stage, he had a book in his hand and seemed to be talking into a headset. Yes, now we were talking, if they had headsets they must have smart phones. Suddenly Thoth divided into at least ten other Thoths, each one stepping back and floating away followed closely by a written feather scripting words and picrures.
Wow that was weird and crazy magic but who would need that kind of magic except for making your own work force. Now I wondered if anyone had ever seen the real one maybe he didn't even look like that. All the time he was telling about the numerous opportunities, teachers, resources and places available in the school. Then he said welcome and walked/floated away soon to disappear.
Next my favorite teacher came forward and said just two things. One the school would spend the most on those with the most potential. Secondly those seated on the floor were to line up at the green door on the far right of the auditorium because they did not need to hear anymore from the teachers.
As I was getting up a mechanical gave me a two sheet pamphlet and then pointed in the direction of the hidden doorway. I say hidden because it was under the bleachers and though it was clean under their it felt as if they were trying to hide us away. In addition, we were all natural citizens not a God child amongst us even though I knew some of us had done much better then some of them.
Opening the doorway we were lead down a short hall and then entered a spiral staircase that led downwards. The lighting grew increasingly dimmer and there started to be more and more dust and signs of decay. Where the hell were they sending us, I was going to run if I saw bars a dungeon was living death for my kind.
Finally we came to a larger doorway and entered into a huge domed cavern, large crystals and luminous moss cause the area to be much brighter then on the way down. In the far distance was a large opening probably 50,000 feet up which also let in natural light. A intricate mirror system allowed this light to be sent throughout the cavern.
In the distance I could see farms, small huts, houses and even some school type buildings, in addition I could even see small mountains as well. The one leading us was a lean orge type person but I knew he was a mix of something else as well. He didn't look mean with just one small tusk sticking upward from his bottom lip. I really liked his green half mohawk hairdo it reminded me of my mom.
Finally after about two hours we arrived at a set of connected houses which had a long porch in front as well as a overhanging exstended porch roof. The orge introduced himself as Small Jaw and said he was the housing coordinater and would assist with any needs reguarding this.
The houses would house four people and were first come first serve, before most registered this information I had took off running for the last house in the line. It was nearest the restrooms and baths plus had an extra window. I made it a step before my friends Bug and Oval who had to open my running as a good thing.
I claimed the window top bunk while Bug and Oval were fighting over the other bunk finally they flipped a coin and Oval won the bottom bunk. It was for the best if you asked me because if Oval fell through Bug would go splat. I started laughing at the thought when I heard someone join in, their twinkling laughter made my heart skip a beat.
We all turned to the sound that was coming from under my bunk and I don't know who was more surprised of us three. It was a pixy a trickster, pranking and revenge loving pixy, she even sported the typical long steel rose thorn blade they were famous for. "Who are you?", yelped Bug, his face already turning white in fear.
