CHAPTER 68: CHAPTER 68: WEIRD ZONE - FROM DHÄGNA’HÜR TO RÜH’ANGÄHD AND WHAT LIES IN-BETWEEN PART 1.

Returning to the Mansion of the Preppers Fraternity wasn’t as satisfying nor insightful as the Representative Group was expecting.

They didn’t learn much about what and why had happened the current situation. And all the topics that were discussed in the Assembly, worsen the probabilities they had instead of rising them up.

Additionally, the Freshmen had been tasked to enter in a Zone, but not all of them have to face this predicament.

This is reflected easily in N’Ïrk’s Triquetra, as half of his current Roommates, weren’t selected to be part of any Preppers’s Triquetra designed by the Headmistress Ganeira.

While, Kûrjhainne, Æ’Vérrya and Hát’Thöry are evidently Sophomores, hence not accounted in this authoritarian decision.

Saili’Ïckn, Å’Vría and Otzzana doesn’t fit in such criteria.

The latter trio is constituted by Freshmen, and there is no apparent reason why they weren’t in N’Ïrk’s, or in any of the other Triquetras.

However. There is no time to spare, the clock is ticking, and Norlan simply gives a brief explanation to the Members of the Fraternity, telling them about the Ninety Minutes mark, before they are probably attacked by creatures.

Partially a lie from the Landowner, as there is no certainty or accuracy to truly tell if the event is going to happen. But still, is a doable facade to prevent part of the chaos.

After all, enter in a Zone is arguably safer, than withstanding a small horde of beasts stampeding towards the Intercultural Academy.

Meanwhile, in N’Ïrk’s Room, he and five of his eleven Roommates are getting ready for the half forced Expedition they have to attend.

The nerves are evident, Evennette has no practical experience, and has yet to recover after witnessing the gruesome dead of Parmella a pair of hours ago.

Niveilia is not a combatant, and she is mentally exhausted after the time in the Fake Zone.

Dyll’Phá is not too different on said regard, and although she knows how to defend herself, dealing with anthropoid species is not the same as fighting with a supernatural aberrations or monsters that lurk in real Zones.

Indayra has seen the fall of a City, so she is aware of what is at stake if they don’t secure a supply chain to support themselves, or moving out to a new location to live in, even if that means becoming a resident of a Zone.

Vluk’Shïan is not that extremist, and she is quite accustomed to battle for her life. Trait that she learned from being an Orchqüim, and polish furthermore with several trainings, along the occasional visit to a Zone.

N’Ïrk observes Evennette, and approaches the Caramel Bimbo from behind, adjusting the reinforced vest the female is wearing.

The garment was brought by Hát’Thöry, who was kind enough to gift other Basic tools, accessories and equipment for the incoming departure of her new Roommates.

Between the goodies, the Treasurer delivered to the team, several weapons that are activated with the Passive Induction of Empiric Etergy.

While these are not powerful guns, they can provide a relatively constant, though limited, offensive.

Not to mention this weapons can serve as an excellent catalytic conduct for the energetic Ammunitions the students are able to employ, empowering them another, marginal, but needed fold under the grim ongoing circumstances.

"Thanks for the assistance Hát’Thöry". N’Ïrk says with high gratefulness and reverence towards the Treasurer.

"You don’t have to thank me N’Ïrk. Is the least i can do. Be careful out there, the most important is that all of you return safe and sound at the start of the weekend...". The Treasurer remarks with hope plaguing her kind smile.

There is no need to say more words, or perform any other action, the silent promise of the pending Date between Hát’Thöry and N’Ïrk, is enough incentive for the two youngsters, holding their desires and cheesiness for the meantime.

The group leaves the Fraternity along with other six Preppers. Meeting with their twenty four additional members to constitute the Platoon.

Unexpectedly. Nouy’Zula Rïvaldï and the lone young man, Bverxkka,bare the leaders of the other two Triquetras.

Still, some familiar faces are present behind them. Troy Crïden and Káth’Dria Verderben are the easiest to spot, because Bverxkka doesn’t seem to care about formation or tactics.

A misconception that occurs due to the young man not ordering around his Triquetra to be aligned and silent.

The same can’t be said about Nouy’Zula’s group. Their formation is perfect, difficulting to spot Bräzzeya Brännerss, and Dyll’Phá’s friend, Nayeli Carvine. A young lady with green hair that appears to know Troy, as they glance each other with friendly stares that are a step away of becoming blatant flirting.

But not everything can be good news, there are three people that are in bad terms with N’Ïrk’s companions.

Barvro Bartolomé, who is in Bverxkka’s Triquetra. And the Toothpick, Maggereith Finezza. Who is accompanied by her friend Da’Heyliá Carionni, a sexy feminine orange skinned young lady with slender figure and light blue hair braided in two vertical braids.

After seeing her cousin Dyll’Phá during Parmella’s altercation, Da’Heyliá started to use a green lipstick that is quite notorious, as always, trying to compete and win against her relative.

A dumb way to try and entice her cousin, but not an unfounded one. If she thinks on her cousin, and how to prove herself as a worthy partner. It would be expected, that Dyll’Phá herself, as a Carionni, would have this trait.

Unfortunately, Dyll’Phá is not aware of such tendency from her Family, as she lived in the boarding school solely for females, while Da’Heyliá went outside of it on multiple occasions.

"It was about time for you to appear!. We have been waiting for you for more than ten minutes!". Admonishes Nouy’Zula, but N’Ïrk dismisses her.

"Liar. I saw you from the Fraternity window, you arrived two minutes ago. Bverxkka is the only one who can complain, and he isn’t doing it".

"Well, with so much noise, two minutes could be twenty or two hours at the other side of the Zone".

"Don’t be dramatic". Comments N’Ïrk, and Nouy’Zula does a guttural but sexy grunt as she observes the third leader. Why are you not saying anything. Or calming them?!".

She says referring to the scandalous members of Bverxkka’s Triquetra. That is because is unnecessary. Everyone is fearful and tired, if they can relax and invigorate themselves by fraternizing, then so be it".

Bverxkka says with his distinctive stoicism, while showing a small crystal dodecahedron, and giving the object to N’Ïrk.

"Put Empiric Energy in it and pass it to each of your Team members. They must return it to you before you give the Endodecodex to another member, and so on until you have it again, then give it to me back, and i will return it to Coordinator Lycaonia".

"Understood Bverxkka".

"I know you understood N’Ïrk Ignay’Thus, i can see it on your aura"...
