In a different plane of existence there is a boy and a girl standing and looking around the vast plane. This plane is devoid of any color looking more like a blank white canvas. The sky looks empty, the ground is all white, and at a distance you can't see anything. The strangest thing is that this plane feels slightly heavy. The boy in bloody rags and one of the girls look at each other with worried faces only to notice muiltiple circles on the ground around them. Hearing the sounds of echoing steps the children look back shocked seeing a 8 feet tall celestial armor with engravings some of which are shining with neon blue tint.
The Celestial armor stops at a 3 feet distance crossing his arms he looks down at the children. "Welcome to the light domain, my domain to be exact. Here you two will be given the bare necessary skill to somewhat increase your survivability going forty on your journey." pointing at the ground the circles begin to light up white one by one. "This is a field that is used for training by my disciples. Normally you wouldn't be allowed to remotely use it let alone even be allowed in my domain." Looking at the children he walks back out of the last circle. "There will be no talking in my domain let alone any noise coming out of you mouths. All I can say to you two is that this will only last for an hour." A ray of white light shines on top of the tall armor.
The boy in bloody rags was going to say something when suddenly he is pressed down by an unknown force making him lay prone on the floor. The sounds of pops and cracks can be heard coming from the boy his body showing deep purple bruises as well as inflammation. The boy is grinding his teeth his with a pained looked followed by blood flowing down his mouth, eyes and nose.
The girl next to him looks in horror at the boy wanting to help only to have the similar treatment as the boy. Unfortunately for her the unknown force caused slash mark to appear randomly on her skin causing her to lose blood at a steady rate. The muiltple slashes were so quick that in less than a couple of seconds her slashes cut deep all the way to the bone. Wanting scream from the pain the unknown force slashes at her neck.
The tall armor stares at the children the engravings on his armor begin to light up brighter. As if alive the engravings flow out of the armor and begin attaching to the circles. These circle begin shrinking with the engravings slowly getting closer to the children. The armor begins to dissolve along with the light ray leaving the children behind with the circles and engravings.
In another different plane of existence there is the other boy and a girl who keeps her eyes closed they are struggling to walk without falling. This plane is a dark black place though not pitch black because the sky is covered in many lights resembling a starry night. The ground unfortunately is covered in knee deep water. Well hoping that it's normal water. Making it difficult for the boy and girl to walk. At a distance there is what looks like a mound of light coffee brown sand. Seeing that, that the mound might be the only solid ground They attempted to reach it.
Walking slowly above the knee deep water behind the children a silhouette of a dark hooded maiden robe with its face covered similar to the skys stars has been observing silently on the children. Covering her mouth with one hand she thinks to herself. 'Strange? It's only been a minute yet they haven't stepped into any of the traps?' On que the children make a detour around there intended path as if to avoid a dangerous predator. 'Interesting.'
Staring at the girl the silhouette sees how the girl turns her head exactly where the trap is, staring at it for awhile than changing back direction. The silouite is also intrested on the boy compared to the girl the boy is actively walking in a strange matter. If the water was clear you will see how he is actively avoiding the holes that open and close waiting for something to make a mistake.
'Very interesting indeed. It seems the girl has a sort of sixth sense while the boy has a high perception and awareness of his surroundings.' The silhouette says tilting her head to the side she looks at the black water scooping a bit up on her hand. The Water begins forming and wiggling as if alive. Squishing her hands the black water turn back to liquid. 'Combine that with the flood of hesitation that feeds of your willpower and these two are truly interesting.'
Looking back up the silhouette sees the children almost reaching the sand mound seeing that the children are happy to see dry land. The silhouette shaking her head says to herself no longer being sneaky. "If this was back during the golden days you two would have passed with extra care to nurture you both."
The boy and girl stop in there tracks breathing slightly heavily from both physical and mental drain looking back they see a silouite walking on water. The girl goes walking slowly behind the boy feeling something wrong from the silhouette something inside her is sending muiltiple warnings scaring her nearly to death. The boy on the other hand is looking at the silhouette attentively while also paying attention to his surroundings. Shocked when he looked down around him. He noticed that the holes that are under the water begin to move away from them as if alive.
Stopping in place the silhouette holds her hand out in a readying a snap on her finger tips. "In order to ensure your survival in such a dangerous world you shall be given slight advantages. However receiving such skills without a cost doesn't bold well in my opinion." Snapping her fingers the sound creates a small ripple on the water that pass through the children. Staring up with a hand under her chin the silouite says tilting her head. "What is that saying from your last life "What's the catch." Letting her arm flow down the silouite stares at the children. "Dont waste this opportunity you will regret it if you do."
