Chapter 9: Time For Your Weapons To Choose You

Jaque's P.O.V

I woke up feeling a little groggy. I looked around my surroundings and it looked like I am in an infirmary. I felt something on my hand, clutching it, I look down and see a hand holding mine, and a head full of messy black hair lying on the bed. I see it is Fane that is sleeping there.

Haha, he is drooling out of the corner of his mouth, so cute, I thought to myself. I then felt a little pain on my right shoulder, I look over and see a blood soaked bandage. All the memories of the fight came back to my mind. The fight with Logan and his ice shard hitting my shoulder. Me falling and seeing four figures take him down.

I felt someone move and saw Fane sitting up and looking at me with shocked eyes.

"Hello Sleepyhead!" I said with a raspy voice and weak smile.

"Jaque, your awake!" He said wrapping his arms around me. I felt my arm give off a shooting pain.

"OW, OW, Fane, could you lighten up on the grip near my shoulder, please?" I asked while wincing in pain.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm just glad you are ok. Sage, Lily, and I were so worried about you, I've been sitting here since last night."

"Really! By the way, where are we?" I asked while looking around questionably.

"Ok, well, first of all. We are in a place called The Sanctuary where people like us live but we are the only one where who can control the elements. We were brought here by our grandparents."

I just nodded as he told me everything, from when they got here, until this very moment.

"So we were friends before I moved here. Also my grandmother is alive. Gosh!"

"Yep!"

"Ok, well, I guess I should meet them!" I said, and as if on cue. The door of the infirmary burst open with seven people coming through. Lily and Sage came to me immediately while the other four stayed their distance.

One of them with came forward out of the group with orange eyes. With the same eyes as me.

"Grandmother!"

-week later-

Me, Fane, Sage, and I are walking down the hall from our rooms. It has been a week since we have got here and we have missed the last day of school. Grandmother Timberwood came to us after breakfast today and informed us to find Chameleon or Chamie as we call her, to lead us to the training grounds.

Chameleon can change the colour of her skin and clothes like, well, a chameleon. She is the one who shows us around. Chamie is in her early twenties, with shoulder-length dirty blonde hair and magenta eyes. She is one of the many gifted people who live here and are protected from Stephen Dark.

"Hey Chamie, can you take us to the training grounds?" I asked Chamie, we found her in the cafeteria.

"Yah! Sure!" She replied. Chamie led us through a series of halls, passing many of the residents. We stopped infront of two large steel doors that are bolted. Chamie opened the doors and we see Grandmother Timberwood, Grandmother Greens, Geandfather Waters, and Grandfather White all on a platform in the middle of the room.

We walked towards it a while Chamie left. I noticed weapons lined the walls of the room. The room is quite spacious. We reached our grandparents and the said only this:

"Time for your weapons to choose you!!"

Sage's P.O.V

We lined up in a line on the platform. Many weapons are laid before us. Jaque is the first to go.

Her hands guided her to a chipped wooden bow. Once she grabbed it, it began to glow an aura of sunset orange mixed with fiery red. The bow turned into a sunset orange bow with deep red mixed in slightly, and flame designs of a fire crawling up from the bottom.

Next is Fane, his fingers went to a plain black Bo staff. When is fingers came to the in contact, a white aura came around it. The Bo staff turned into a sleek white surface with grey swirls as wind designed all around it.

Then Lily goes, her skin came in contact with two old whips. A green aura came and the halides turned to a deep mud brown leather with the whips deep forest green and a light green strip going up with leaf designs looking like a crawling vine.

Last is me, my hands just came in control and they led me to two dull battle swords. I grabbed one in each hand and a blue aura surrounded them. The handles became a oceans depth blue, while the blades are a light silver with wave designs just above the handle.

We all stared in awe at our unique weapons. Grandfather White came on to the platform.

"Your weapons have chosen you by taking control of your hands and leading you to them. These will help with your elements and you will use them in battle. Now it is time to train!"

The four of us nodded and tried out our weapons. It turns out if Jaque pulls back the string of her bow, her element creates a fire arrow from her hand. Fane can twirl the staff and make wind, and Lily can slash her whips to the ground and can either grab a boulder or grow something. I can make waves with my swords but pushing the flat end against the surface and twirl around.

I'm and thinking this is going to be one eventful summer.
