Ranking and the Rulers

Who would have thought they were in the same floor in the dorm. Mandy could only laugh half heartedly, she knew that every now and then they would probably intrude her room. She doesn't know this morning since she arrive in this dorm late at night and no one are outside their dorm at that time.

After they leave, she peacefully enter her room. She doesn't have that much of things in here since she's a new comer. Only a bedspace, a set of table and a wardrobe. Luckily each room has each bathrooms, Mandy could not imagine if they were having a public bathhouse with this different types of creatures.

Setting her things, she's now looking from her collection of dress which are not that much since those are only from the donation from the orphanage she received. As she thought about it, she regreted how she only leave them without a word. Many years she concealed herself from them from the day she welcomed her. Sometimes she was caught by the kids, but the nuns only treat it with their wild imagination when they started to talk about it.

She manage to get her clothes and went to change for the event tonight. It was a white v-neck shirt with a printed logo in it paired with a denim pants. She just loose her hair and put some powder in her face, she did not put on some lipstick since her lips are pinkish enough.

She check the time, it's half an hour before the party. 10 minutes passed, a knock from the door tells her they were outside. She walked out of of the room and greeted with over gorgeous outfit which fits them well. She's really out of place. Niether she fit from them, they said not to mind it and now both her arms are snaked by Kate and Cory. They start dragging her with them, that what Mandy tell herself as they arrived at the elevator and went down the ground floor.

As soon as they arrived they could see so many creatures gathered near a Lake. Light with different colors flourished the place, a bunch of set of tables with foods around it. A fountain of different drinks and dessert in the sides of a dance floor. Its an open space area, as if rain won't affect this place. The stars and moon glows clearly above the sky. It was the first time she saw this kind of party. So, she was amazed how beautiful the place is.

"Told yah!! You're going to like the place"Cory said beside her.

"This was held once a year only, so they prepared this much" Kate added as they walk over to their designated seat.

They sat comfortably in a couch set, and foods edible in Mandy's view in the table they werein. some of the group chataway and leaving Mandy with Cory blabber about the party. She just quietly absorbed what she tells her.

"As you can see each table are separated from each group. It is a ranking condition set by the rulers to set some boundaries in each creature to interact with their level of abilities and intelect. Ranking also affects the privilege in terms of neccessity and allowance money. For example, the room you have now, the seat we settled on and the food we have"

Mandy could quickly understood she was right, since she examine some of tables really differ in content. She landed her eyes in the front near the lakes water, were tables with minimal food and a glasses of wine. There were five of them sitting in it. She could only comprehend that it was them, the rulers.

"They are the rulers of the MA" as Cory noticed Mandy was looking at them. The rulers looks so calm while talking to each other. "On the first right, Selena the grand witch, she gained popularity with her ability to create potions. Second, Falcon the air master with his strong wings he could wandrously fly above more than normal winged creatures could reach. He could also ignite himself to fire"

"On the left first side, Drake the werewolf alpha. He have the most numerous member of a pack. Second, Vanisa the Vampire princess with her parents as the head of vampire clan she gained also the position."

"And lastly but not the least, Morgan the Immortal, with his ability to heal. Even if you tried to do anything to him or -" she paused or hesitant to continue. She came near to my ear and whispered "kill him". The word kill echoed in Mandy's mind, she was nervous to hear that. It is a word she dreaded too much. Flashes of memories making her head ache, which are foreign to her.

"...Nothing will happen to him" as Cory ended. She noticed Mandy was holding her head. She reach her hand, which was only smack sideway by Mandy. She was surprised Mandy did that.
