her name is stay away from me .” she warned.
    “Why?” asked Eiris.
    “Well, being that she was walking into the Black Horde Guild Zone, she’s likely a member. And the three shadows control that guild, random Darkren can’t just join. So it’s safe to assume that she’s probably from of the Order of Assassins. Making her especially dangerous to you Eiris.” said Kezzy bluntly.
    “But isn’t the Darkren War over?” asked Eiris.
    “There are other ways to fight wars Eiris.” replied Kezzy.
    “I’d have to agree with Kezzy on this one Eiris. My father fought in that war and he regularly reminds me of the delicate peace between Turans and Darkren. As beautiful as that girl is, getting to know her would only be poking the bear so to speak.” said Azonei.
    “If you say so.” replied Eiris in a rather dubious tone.
    Entering the Blue Storm building, they found their way through the massive atrium into the meeting wing. They all went directly to the place where the holographic marker stopped and walked into the Blue Storm Conclave Room. There, they joined the other Blue Storm fresh starts as they sat at a table near the front of the room. A tall, thin Slyph with a quiet air of intelligence about him then got up and walked to the front of the room. Realizing he must be someone important, everyone that was talking got settled down.
    “Welcome to the Blue Storm Guild, fresh starts. For those of you that don’t know, this is a majority Slyph Guild. My name is Glover Nhore and I’m the Guild Leader here. Most of you here today will become normal members, helping the guild in various ways. But some of you will be chosen to play on our war sport teams in the gauntlet games. The Gauntlet Games are the yearly games that help measure the aptitude and advancement of each student here at the Undarian Academy. The games consist of three different war sports: Electroball, The Lunar Rally, and one-on-one combat in the Gauntlet Arena. The guild with the most team and individual wins in each game is awarded the coveted Luridium Trophy at the end of the year. Along with the bragging rights of course. Also, if you’re wondering. Yes-the Black Horde Guild has reigned champion for almost seven years now. I think it’s about time we knocked them off of their high horse, don’t you?” Glover exclaimed.
    “Yeah!” everyone shouted as they clapped and cheered.
    “Good, then get in your rulebooks and study each war sport. Tryouts take place at the arena tomorrow morning. Your uniforms and supplies are at your assigned personal cubes. May Turanii be with you all.” he said as he exited the room.
    As everyone began their conversations again, Eiris and the others decided to head to the dorm wing to find their assigned personal cubes. Eiris quickly found his room and began to get settled in. There really wasn’t much to look at. The room was sparse and left little to the imagination. There was just enough room for a bed and a small desk. Eiris looked into the drawers built into his bed and found several black and blue military-like uniforms. On them were five small planets in a pentagonal design at the breast of the shirts.
    Inside one of the lower drawers was a distinct uniform with the same colors but made of a more flexible material along with what looked like a smart helmet. On the desk next to his bed was the Academy’s various manuals and rulebooks. Eiris then noticed a white gold smartwatch on top of the desk chair. Next to it was a box with a ribbon.
    Eiris opened the box to reveal two black magnetic swords with the initials E.P. on the handles, along with an x-style sword sheath designed to be worn on his back. There was also a silver and blue handheld weapon with a note that said: From Marz . Eiris had never owned a weapon in his life and just the sight of them was a little intimidating. “Well, this is a new home and a new life”, he thought to himself. He put on the smartwatch along with one of the military uniforms
