(New batch arrivals)
WEL-DEP-ALL HALL(W-DAH)
In a massive hall that stretches far and wide and seems to have no end with twin pillars spaced 10m to 100m from each other running to the end of the hall. Each twin pillar has an active spinning and shiny white sphere at the center. This sphere was called the transporter and was used to move across realms –to worlds that take hundreds to thousands of years to travel to. At the midsection of the hall, on each side of the hall stood a raised platform with display screens monitoring the transporters and the realm connected to, calculating the arrival time of each portal.
By the side of each twin pillar were two cloaked figures, all patiently waiting for those that were to arrive soon. On the raised platform were beautifully dressed elven-like creatures called Eklae—one of their abilities was communicating between and across realms. On each figure in the hall, at the left ear tip was a tiny button—barely noticeable. This tiny button is called the communicator and as tiny as it was, it performs powerful things. This communicator was linked to several people and can be used simultaneously.
At the first twin pillar, one of the cloaked figures standing there tapped on the communicator, received the message, and passed the information to the other cloaked figure. Not long after, the sphere changed from white to blue and moments later, figures started pouring out of the portal until the sphere changed to white and stopped spinning. The same thing happened across all the twin pillars in the hall.
As each figure came out of the twin pillar, the pair of the cloaked figure move them to the new arrival hall for their orientation. It was quick as every new being was taken to the hall in less than a minute through a space shift. With new faces, every new being talked in wonder.
The range of the new being arrivals ranges from age nine to twelve years. They were carefully selected and brought from their planet to be trained in the giant academy by powerful teachers from across the realm. This people were called the new intake and some of the time some could be sent back to their realm – for not being up to the standard.
At an elevated and hidden plane in the hall, with the room so wide. Teachers dressed in not-so-fancy colors lined up patiently behind a white-haired figure dressed in pure white; this figure was an androgynous being, and none of the teachers in the hall could tell his/her gender, as presently, the outward appearance was masculine but gave a feminine feel. This white-haired figure was the controller of the academy, the one hundredth and sixty-sixth controller(166th) in charge of running the academy successfully. The controller's name was unique. With a fusion of a male name and a female name, a peculiar name was coined and passed to every controller. They bore the name – Uri-bin, and as time went on, their real name was lost. They hardly show themselves to others but when they do, only the teachers and important personnel are graced. There was a rule, it was an unspoken rule that anyone who has come across the controller must never speak about it.
On the ground floor where the beings were gathered were beings from different races, all meeting each other for the first time. Their realm was named after their abilities or powers. Beings from the realm-dream were dream-weavers and grow in power by weaving dreams for others, and those that have gone through the evil way could double their power by killing through dreams. Their outward appearance lacks any exotic features – very ordinary and can be easily overlooked among all the being gathered. Planet tech were scientists; dealing with inventing new gadgets across the realm. The realm medic was good at medicine and was rumored that they could use their medicine to bring the dead back to life. All realms had one thing or the other that they were good at. But presently in the hall were beings from a newly discovered realm, an unexplored, unregistered, and unplanned realm that got access to the portal and was part of those teleported here.
Don, came from this unknown planet, a planet without any name. As he clustered with people from his realm, he stared wide eyes at the massive number of people in the hall. He wasn't the only one staring around in the hall. The hall was devoid of any decoration or gadget and looked plain, this was the deceiving look it presented to unknown intruders and new arrivals.
With a wave of uneasiness among the beings, the murmur reached its peak. A blue-cloaked figure opened the door silently and walked in from the entrance. While most had their backs towards the entrance, only a few noticed the figure and started nudging others. Not long after, every being was quiet as they waited to see what he would do.
The blue-cloaked figure with a slim build made his way towards the elevated platform that came up at the front of the hall. Gasps of wonder spread across the room at this action. Rapping his knuckles on the flat pulpit that came up with the platform, he grabbed the attention of all the beings in the hall including the ones in the shadow.
From the elevated hidden plane, some of the male teachers had unpleasant looks on their faces but couldn't talk due to the presence of the controller. Most of them had a hateful look when they looked at the blue-cloaked figure. It wasn't anything new in the academy that the succumb could make you do their wish—It wouldn't be bad if the succubus was a female. The blue-cloaked figure was a male and being controlled by him for his wish was unpleasant.
What was the controller thinking? This question was on the minds of the male teachers, but none could voice out their concerns. What would happen to the students? But most importantly, what was he to do?
