There was a sudden crash behind him, he knew they where catching up but he couldn’t look back, he couldn’t let him self get caught not with all he’d been though so far. He nursed his wound a bit, being stab hurt he found, and he decided not a thing he’d want to try again. As he sat there, waiting for his team mates, he started to think back to when this all started, the day he had become a void walker.
It was a rainy day again, not that Jake disliked that, the rain gave a cool relief to the hot sun that seemed to be out everyday. But also because he had a chance to be in his element, you could really stand out when everyone else is miserable and you’re happy, he got up and started to get dressed. He got his new uniform, from the void walker master, though this wasn’t uncommon though he was one in about 600 that had been accepted into the order, but he felt good all the same. The outfit consisted was of splendid make purple he had chosen, and black for a second colour, the armour look quite good made by designs he had never seen before but non the less, he will find out when he gets there as well as the suit of armour he had, he also got a cape, purple and black like the rest of the out fit, off setting the piece making it look complete. He grabbed his stuff and walked out in to the street.
He got on the train and took it to the training centre, he sat there thinking of what would be there when he entered, when he got the letter of enrolment and the outfit he knew nothing about the void walkers or what they did, but now he was off to become one and it freaked him out a bit. As he sat there he noticed people where looking at him strange as if he wasn’t meant to take the train, “Hey, whys everyone staring at me?� “Its just we don’t see a void walker take the train everyday the usually go by� there was a pause in his speech “other means so to say�, Then it hit him there was a note in the letter saying he would get picked up and took to the centre every morning free of charge. “Oh crap� he said as he covered his face with his hand, “Its goina be one of those days�. The train stoped about a block away from the centre and he walked from there seeing all the other students as he walked closer to the centre. Most where in outfits, the same as him, some where less armour and more normal clothes but still had the cape, some where also carrying staffs of some kind, made it all look like a dumb fantasy place where fans dress up like wizards and stuff. He rounded the corner and saw the centre, it was a huge monolith, the building looked quite old and the area it was situated was at least 10 acres, it looked like you could get lost very easily and for a long time. He saw one of the people he had meet when he went to pick up his armour, his name was Zell and he had a tattoo down the side of his face, he seemed like a good guy when they meet and they quickly made friends there and then. “Hey Jake over here� called the blond haired student as he ran over to him, “What’s going on Jake, big place isn’t it� “Yeah its huge� “I think I’m in some of your lessons, we’ll see when we get our schedules from the office�. A bell went, and everyone started to move in Jake started to walk inside with Zell close behind him they found seats and sat down, pictures lined the wall with very old paintings, with some wearing Amour like him and Zell, robes, cloaks and more casual clothes. As he sat there more people where coming in the place seemed to fill up quick and conversations where following close behind, “Hey Jake ya think they’ll start soon, I can’t wait to get to our first lesson, I’ve heard some cool story about void walkers and they seem to do some pretty cool things, he shifted in his seat something was poking into his back, it was a foot “Yeah Zell man me too� he turned around to see who it was, it was another student in robes, he looked up at Jake and saw what happened, “Oh sorry� and he took his foot down. Suddenly the hall went quiet as a figure walked out he couldn’t see him but he could here him, the hall seemed to be built to echo like it did, quite a good idea really as the back rows couldn’t see the speaker at all. He heard the speaker cough as he started to talk, “Welcome to the void walker temple, here you will receive training on the arts of the void walker and the other classes of the devout� Jake rolled his eyes, the speech seemed very practised so far and that usually meant it was going to be boring. “As you may have noticed the temple is quite large and seems easy to get lost in, don’t worry though we have maps and directories around the place to help you as you get settled in, for those that our taking dorm here, go with the instructors near the left doors, they’ll show you to your room’s� “Go after I’m done talking though there’s still some things I have to say� he gave the crowd a serious look like if someone tried to leave he’d will them out of existence. “The training facilities and instructors here are some of the best to help you along the way to graduating so don’t give them too much trouble, also if you miss a lesson you will be held responsible unless you have a submitted reason, tardiness is not tolerated here� Jake gulped, he was never good with time, and seemed to let if fly by a lot. The talking went on for another 15 minutes or so talking about the facilities and transport, also how the order wont be held responsible for ‘accidents’, what ever that means�. “Well that’s all I have to say for now, follow your instructors to your dorm’s� said what Jake had figured out to be the master, or at least close to, of the order. “C’mon Jake lets go I think our instructors over here� they shoved and nudged there way though the crowd to the instructor, she was an old, wise looking woman in one of the robes like he saw in some of the paintings, she also had a staff though it didn’t look like she needed it to help her walk. “Come with me young ones she said as she led them out of the hall into the gardens. The gardens where beautiful, flowers of all sorts where around and some didn’t even look like they where from earth at all. Birds made nests in the trees here and a slight breeze blew, making it seem perfect and a good place to think, Jake bumped into the person in front of him while still dazed a bit “Oh sorry, I was somewhere else�. “Hey Jake, what ya think the rooms will be like� “I don’t care really as long as I can sleep, I’m tired as hell� “What where you doing last night� “Stupid things involving fire and lighter fluid� “What?� “Just kidding I was up all night cos I couldn’t sleep, probably cos I was nervous�. They walked out of the gardens and into a large building with 3 other smaller ones connect to it, probably more rooms he thought to him self as they walked though the doors “These are the eastern dorms, here you may rest and change. Make your self at home, the first lesson will commence at 12�. “So I guess we got rooms next to each other then dude� Jake said as he dropped his bag in the door and lied down on his bed. “Hey Zell man� “Yeah what?� “I’m goina sleep for a while wake me up soon though, I don’t wanna waste the day� “Yeah ok man, I’m goina go scope out the canteen� “Yeah ok, remember to wake me up� Jake then drifted off to sleep.
