Chapter 12; Opel

After what seemed to be three hours, the train finally arrived at Opel private station. The passengers; which were all students, came out of the train in rushes of excitement.

"Ugh... FINALLY! It seemed like forever until Opel!" Amnda complained as they got off the train.

Lucas, after steeping foot on Opel grounds, felt immense energy signatures. One, in particular, was the most interesting to Lucas. It was as if the energy was calling Lucas' soul.

"Amanda, do you feel that intense aura?" Lucas asked Amanda. His best friend looked at him in confusion.

"What? I don't feel anything," Amanda asked, turning her head away from Lucas. "Besides for you." Amanda whispered.

Lucas didn't hear the last part. Rather, he was fixated on the intense aura which was calling put to him.

"Attention all new coming students," A voice spoke from the speakers of the train station "we request you to follow the druids to the main hall."

Not long after; tall, skeletal looking robots came from the entrances. Some picked up luggage, while others led the students to a different room.

Later...

The students entered a GIANT hall decorated in many ways. There were elder students sitting in four long tables. Each table was unique on its own way.

One had the head of a snake, the second a hawk, the third a lion and the last a horse. Lucas looked at each one of the tables and their students.

'The four houses of Opel... wonder which I belong to' Lucas told himself. After a while, a woman stepped up to the podium and began speaking.

"Hello, dear children. I, am professor Quenis Loban, the vice principal of Opel. We welcome you to Opel, the greatest school for heroes in Zelvord!!" She said. Loud cheers bursted out. After a while, Quenis began continuing.

"Before you begin your studies tomorrow, you will be sorted into one of the four houses." She said. "They are... Leo; for the strong, Stallion; for the fast, Serpentine for the durable and wise and lastly, Falcon; for the tactful."

She waved her hand, summoning a long piece of paper. After swiftly reading it, she began calling out several names.

"Solan Busen" she called out. A boy walked up to the Headmaster, who was an old wizard. His name, Ayan Alexander.

The Headmaster raised his staff and began chanting.

"Power of the six elements; Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light and Dark, provide me guidance and safety as I call upon... THE KING OF HELL!!"

A powerful wind began enveloping the hall, the earth shook, candle flames roared and water flew. A bright light emerged, blinding everyone.

The light settled, revealing a demon like creature with fingers like blades and a figure the size of a giant. The creature roared.

"I AM THE RULER OF JIN, THE DESTROYER AND MASTER OF DEATH! I... AM THE KING OF HELL!!" The creature roared; displaying power dwarfing that of the students.

'The king... of hell?'
