Silver Sword Sect

Opening my eyes I see that I’m currently located in a small room that has two beds. The beds give off a musky smell, which worries me as I am currently sitting up in one.

[Random Girl] “Oh! You’re up! That’s great… now I can tell you the responsibilities of outer sect disciples.”

…Outer sect? Don’t tell me that a certain elder actually took me here against my will. Wait a minute… why isn’t she afraid? I am a Blood Elf, a hated creature of all… yet now that I think about it no one seems to treat me like one.

[Random Girl] “Uhh.. are you okay? Do you ne…”

[Me] “Hand me a mirror…please”

[Random Girl] “Ah! S-sure thing! Here you go!”

She hands me something that looks like a small board with a round piece of glass in the center. A very crude hand mirror, but I guess they can’t afford to spend too much on the outer sect disciples.

I look at my reflection and almost faint… again. My hair seems to have lightened to a dirty blond and seems to be tangled up in one gigantic ball. Not only that, but my entire face… no my entire body seems to be dirty and covers my pale elven complexion. My eyes seem to have become a red-brown due to the mana of the forest. I knew the forest was known for its mana turning one’s eyes a slightly more brownish color, but never had I expected this. No one would even be able to tell I was a Blood Elf with these features! Blood Elves all have bright red eyes and are well known for their black hair. Occasionally a Blood Elf will be born with a slightly different color hair, but never like this! I honestly looked like a poor Holy Elf.

[Random Girl] “Umm… I’m outer disciple Maria, your roommate. I-it’s been a pleasure to meet you.”

[Me] “Oh… uh… I’m Luna. The pleasure is all mine.”

My new roommate Maria seems to be very shy and it currently looking at me worriedly. She has short brown hair and a fair, skinny body. She seems to be human, however has no qualms about elves. The dirty state of my body seems to have her concerned if I was okay. I smile as if to say I were okay and hand her back her mirror. Since I’m no longer in the Northern Woods I should probably take a bath.

[Me] “Maria, where’s the bath?”

[Maria] “Ah! Umm… it’s right over here.”

She leads me to a small bathing area which seems to be empty. It has a rock wall covering three of its sides, and the last side is covered by a wall made out of wood.

[Me] “Is there a reason why the bath is empty?”

[Maria] “Yes… there are three rooms assigned per bath so that we can easily become clean without worry.”

[Me] “Thank you.”

She hands me some outer sect clothing and leaves me in the bath. The water made the injuries on my body tingle, and when I looked I saw that the water had healing properties. I wonder how they managed to do that… hmm… I will have to ask Maria sometime. As I walk around the bath my long hair was dragging in the water. When standing my hair reached the top of my legs, and my skin began to show its elven properties. It will be awhile before my eyes become their bright red, so I will have to find a way to hide it by then.

After I finish bathing I try on some of my new clothes. My robe is a bronze color, which somehow manages to bring out my now pure blond hair; apparently the dirty blond was due to all the dirt. I shiver when I realize just how dirty I had been the last three years.

When I walk back into my room Maria does a double-take on my looks.

[Maria] “Wow. You look amazing… not that you didn’t look good before… I mean you look better now… if you know what I mean…”

[Me] “Hahaha… No, it’s fine! Thanks a bunch Maria!”

I smile at her, and she looks down embarrassed. In the midst of our conversation I hear a large bell that has a deep yet loud sound I look over at Maria questionably and she motions for me to follow.

After walking on some beaten down paths we arrive at what must be our destination. There are many disciples covering the area that were all wearing the same robe I was. All of them seemed to be heading into a large arena, and once inside everyone took their seats. Sitting down next to Maria I look down into the arena. Arriving at the left side was a 14 year old looking boy who had black hair and green eyes. At the right side of the arena was another boy who looked to be 17 and had brown hair and eyes. Both of the boys were wearing silver robes and seemed to be in the 3rd stage.

“And… BEGIN!”
