Welcome to hell

Thanks to the help of Commander Undine, Aneberlee had been pardoned for the disaster caused in the city, then, as if it was planned, she was accepted as a rookie to train with the Guardians of Arcadia. But when she arrived home to tell her mother, the house maid, Mrs. Leila, who had cared for Aneberlee since she was a child, told her that her mother had left without saying where she was going.

Aneberlee could not believe it: had her own mother really abandoned her, as well as her father, or could she no longer bear the fact that Aneberlee was cursed?

Since she could not allow herself to lose focus, Aneberlee kept her feelings bottled up and concentrated on the new adventure ahead of her. For that reason, during the two days of waiting, Aneberlee could not sleep because of the excitement, and when the expected day finally arrived, she rushed to the Guardian Headquarters. She felt a little strange because the clothes she wore were different from those of the others, these were a kind of kimono, red and short, as she herself had modified it, and she carried her most reliable weapons: her bow and arrows, "as she could not be a priestess like her mother and older sister", at least she could train.

When a while had passed, Aneberlee, stopped:

_"this place is just like school"_that was what she thought,_until suddenly:

_Hey, nice kimono......._ said a voice that you couldn't see where it came from.

Aneberlee, looked down, there was a girl in a modified kimono just like hers, only this one was "pink?":

_You know, my mom said that no one else would remodel her kimono, and yet here you are..it's cool...my name is Keylan Milton...._the girl in pink kept telling her, mintras Aneberlee, wondered, "Who is this midget and why is she talking to me?".

But before anyone could answer they called for the new freshmen to come in, the place they entered was a huge room with many chairs, little by little they all sat down, many of them already knew each other, but Aneberlee sat alone at the end, or at least she thought so because Keylan, the girl with the pink kimono, appeared next to her:

_I'm sorry, can I sit next to you,it's just that all the stalls are full,and apparently they don't like girls........em......

_Bajitas..._ Aneberlee interrupted her in a mocking tone.

Keylan's face reddened and he yelled at her and everyone looked their way:

_DON'T ever call me that again........!!!! Or else you'll meet the fury of my fists!

As Keylan was about to punch Aneberlee, Commander Undine appeared, and addressed everyone:

_Welcome, to a new year in The Order of the Guardians of Arcadia, from today you will be _Welcome, to a new year in The Order of the Guardians of Arcadia, from today you will be

alone, you need to take the risks of this job with courage otherwise you won't fit here, you are "rookies",therefore you will be grouped in groups of 3 members,very well that's all, now I will read the list of the teams....

Aneberlee, she was nervous, no one had told her she would start with other people, with how badly she had done with her relationships at school.

Group 3: Keylan Milton, Aneberlee Winter and ...Janah Chang.

There was silence from everyone in the room, everyone had heard the rumor about Aneberlee "the cursed one" or rather they had seen the disaster she had caused to half the city, although to Aneberlee's surprise Keylan didn't even flinch, he just looked at her strangely.

After the commotion, Commander Undine ordered each group to go to a different room, it seemed that the Order had plenty of rooms just for that. Aneberlee and Keylan entered a room filled with pictures of beautiful landscapes of Ancient Elent Elenthor, immediately Keylan sat on one of the chairs and Aneberlee stood in the doorway and suddenly saw a young Asian-looking woman, with dark cropped hair, dressed in dark blue pants and a white blouse and above all a violet overcoat, stood in front of him:

_Hello_ she said very nervously_ Is this group 3?

Aneberlee looked at her carefully:

_Yes ,it is this .... I am Aneberlee Winter and that over there is Keylan...Milton.

My name is Janah Chang.....and....ah....Are you guys friends?

Aneberlee and Keylan looked at each other, neither knew what to answer the truth is they had just met and had no idea if they were friends or not.To change the awkward conversation Aneberlee said:

_I can't believe they sent us to this place and we have to wait so long...WHAT A BORE, surely the others have already had an affair and we're still here.....

Stop complaining Aneberlee," Keylan interrupted her, "if they told us to wait here there must be a good reason, so therefore SIT DOWN.

Aneberlee ignored him and picked up a can of green paint that was on the floor, (as apparently they had recently done maintenance) and put it on top of the door and said:

_HaHa...the next idiot who walks in the door is going to dye himself a different color.
