Chapter 8 - Zhuang

I had no idea how many people my older siblings had recruited so far.

The room is large, a table made of oak stands in the centre, with matching chairs. The tree must have been an illusion, who ever managed to create it must be very powerful.

One by one people flood into the room, I know no one. I sit between my two siblings, Hua sits next to Ru' she smiles at me her pointed teeth shining in the light.

My palms are stinging!

A curly haired girl storms in last, her fingers creating tiny flames, that dance in the soft breeze.

'Now that everyone is here, I need all of you to tour Zhuang of your specified area. Azami, seems how you are already standing, why don't you go first? Give Al' a heads up when your done.'

The girl who walked in late, now reaches for my hood, pulling me out of the room.

'I'm Azami, nice to meet you.' She spins me around, wrapping her arms around my shoulders. She walks fast.

She opens a near by door, revealing a large crowd of people standing around a fire pit.

'Guys! The new dude is here. Stop staring into the fire and start training, the sun will be rising soon!' she shoves me into the crowd, smiling at me.

Flames grow from the people around me.

There's a girl standing opposite to me, with a head of red flames, her eyes glowing with anger.

'Why is he here?' She shakes her head, smoke surrounding her.

'Enya, that is enough! We have spoken about this!' Azami's hands burst into flames, the two girl stare down at each other. Each one trying to intimidate the other.

The crowd moves away, leaving a circle around the two girls. I move away, turning to a man with fire flowing from his nose. Like a dragon.

'What's going on?'

'Don't worry, they do this all the time. The names Aiden.'

'Zhuang.' I shake his hand, we both then turn to the fight.
