• Armageddon was suddenly pushed out the door, almost hitting her head in the process, and stumbled to the side of the building breaking away from the throng. Even here I seem to be invisible… where’d that little girl go? She swiveled her head to find the cute, but odd little girl and when she was about to give up her search the girl appeared out of nowhere. “I almost lost you!” The girl giggled reaching for Armageddon’s hand and dragging her once again. “Oh, by the way my names Raya, Raya Triforest. I come from the planet Silva and I have a brother. That’s who we’re going to see.” Armageddon just nodded even though she doubted Raya saw, but somehow knew the girl was a wear of her answer. After a little while of traveling the two girls reached a tall tree. “Stay here while I go find my brother.” Then the girl scurried off, leaving Armageddon alone.
    What have I gotten into? She didn’t have much time to think before almost identical twins appeared before her. “This is the girl I was telling you about. Isn’t she pretty!” Raya jumped up and down.
    “Yes, she is… Raya do you know her name?” the boy asked in a quiet tone.
    “Of course! Her name is… ah… it’s… what’s your name?” the baffled expression made Armageddon laugh, the first good laugh in a long time.
    “Armageddon.”
    “See I know Don’s name.” Raya stuck out her tongue only to have it pinched in between her brother’s fingers. “’eey! ‘et go of maaaa tongue!” I have to admit these two are really funny and cute. Wish I was close people like this. She was quickly pulled from her inner thoughts when Raya called to her. “Don!” Don? Is this my new name? “We gotta go check in and so do you. So head to the inn and we’ll meet you in the dinning all soon after. K?” then she started prancing off while twirling every few steps.

    “Wait…where’s the inn?” Don asked with words that slowly fell into a whisper.
    “It’s the biggest building in the town. Go inside and do as the innkeeper asks and if you need help don’t be afraid to speak up.” Raya’s look-alike smiled. Before Don could say anything the boy said, “By the way, my names Relic Triforest. I’m Raya’s twin brother if you haven’t noticed. See you soon.” Then he ran to ketch up to his sister.
    Thanks. Don wandered through the town looking for the inn and found that most of the buildings were very much the same. When she was about to give up, and darkness was close to taking over, she finally found her objective. Ah here it is. The only place with a sign that clearly says INN, how could I have missed that? She slowly pushed the door open and found the place deserted save one person.
    “Hello miss. Welcome to the Haven Inn. You must be a participant, so just answer a few questions and I will show you to your room. Okay?” Don nodded and the innkeeper proceeded. “What is your full name? This includes middle names if you have one. What planet are you from? And have you participated before?”
    “I’m Armageddon Rose Elder. I come from a planet called Earth. And this is definitely my first time doing this.” Don was still a bit confused while answering these questions, especially the planet one. But then again there were odd creatures here that wouldn’t be on Earth.
    “Okay, thank you. Now follow me, you are in room 310.” He preceded up the stairs to the last room on the left. “The dining hall is straight from the door. After you’ve eaten and socialized you may want to come back and go to bed, you don’t want to be tired on the first day. New clothes, weapons, and mission will be here for you when you wake up tomorrow morning. If you have any questions feel free to ask.” Then he left Don to do as she pleased. She was thinking of just staying in for the night but decided against it when her stomach growled in disagreement. Well I guess I should eat. She headed back outside and went straight. Within minutes she was standing in front of the dining hall and wondering if she should really go inside. Here goes everything…
    Don entered and scanned the room for two familiar faces. From her per feral vision she saw two sets of hands waving wildly. She turned and headed to them and was quickly greeted. “DON! You made it. I almost thought you weren’t gunna come.”
    “Raya was getting quite impatient with you.” Relic softly laughed. “She was about to go and find you.”
    “Then it’s a good thing I arrived. Where’s the food, I’m starving.” Don smiled at the two kids.
    “Oh we already got you some because we didn’t want all the food to be gone by the time you got here.” Raya slid a plate of food to Don who thankfully accepted. “That reminds me. Don what planet are you from?” Don mumbled “Earth” and Raya squealed in delight. “Stay right here, I’ll be right back!” Then she dashed off; weaving between people as she headed off to parts unknown.
    “Do you know where she’s going?” Relic merely shook his head as he picked at the food in front of him. Don nodded and continued shoveling down her plate. What an odd child, but I like her she so carefree. And Relic’s an interesting character. He’s quiet yet his eyes hold intelligence that would surpass that of an older person; he seems very wise. After Don finished her meal Raya returned with yet another person.
    “Don, this is Zane Day. He’s also from your home planet. See Zane you’re not alone this time.” Raya laughed in delight as she dragged Zane closer to where we were and pushed him down. “Zane’s been through this before, just like Relic and me. So if you have any questions just ask any of us.”
