"There are things in the world that make us marvel at the power of nature:life and death,the constant ever-changing;the things that make us feel and live. And then there are the things that inspire pure fear. Nature's mistakes. Nature's monsters.
But that's what we're here for."
I
Svetlenga stood completely still looking down at the scene below. Her ice-blue eyes shone and she smirked,thinking,'Fresh meat.'
"I've explained to you what the Order is;any questions? No? Good. Sveta will show you around and go into further detail on the teams and it's members."-Hecaten finished;her blue-violet eyes scanning around at the people in front of her,running her hand through her long,navy-blue hair. Then she called out,"Sveta!" Svetlenga dropped down from the ceiling and landed on her feet lightly,pushing her short,blue streaked,white blond hair out of her face. "They're all yours."- Hecaten said,turning to walk away. "And,Sveta? Go easy on them. We want these to last."- she added and walked away. Sveta looked at the new recruits. "Alright,newbies;my name is Svetlenga Dimitrov,my witch name is Sveta,and you will call me Veran so long as you are trainees. Understood?"- Sveta said,to which the recruits answered,"Aye,Veran!" "Good;you may yet survive this tour."- Sveta replied,making some of them shift uneasily. "Alright newbies,fall in line and follow me!"- Svetlenga called and turned around. She started walking and the recruits followed.
"As Veran Sepha already explained,The Order of Haven was created by demigoddess Damitra in order to protect Zehruvet,our world,and it's connecting subworlds. And while we deal with basically any threat,what we strive to eliminate from our little Otherworld are the viegar. And for good reason."- Sveta explained as they walked towards the lounge to meet other Order members. She turned around,walking backwards,gestured with her hands at the recruits and asked -"With me so far?" One of them called to her from the middle of the group ,"Pardon,Veran;but:What exactly is a viegar?" Sveta stopped,the rest of them stopping in turn. Sveta looked thoughtful for a minute. "Now that I think about it,I don't actually know what a viegar is supposed to be. All I know is:they're vicious,they feed off chaos energy,and they're just plain evil. As to what they are,I have no idea. They look reptilian,but aren't;some of them have wings,but they're not birds;the water kind look like fish,but aren't..."- and Sveta trailed off. Then she snapped back ,"Anyway! For now the important thing is to learn how to survive against them and kill them;which isn't easy,by the way." She turned,gestured them to follow and walked on.
"This is the 'mess' lounge,as I like to call it."- Sveta said as they arrived,"And thanks to some of us,you see it's aptly named." The lounge was,indeed,a bit of a mess in some areas. There were different kinds of weapons,some shirts,and other personal belongings littered about. There were some Order members about: there were two silver-eyed people,a man and a woman,deeply engaged in conversation on one of the black velvet sofas;a golden-haired,dark-eyed woman reading a book on a black leather seat;and a very young-looking,black-hair and eyed woman on another sofa,polishing the disassembled pieces of what appeared to be a rather big gun. Sveta took a breath,"OI!"- she called loudly to the room. Some of them started,all looked up. The golden-haired woman,who hadn't jumped,spoke first,"What?" Sveta grinned and said,rather gleefully,"I got newbies!" The recruits looked a little uneasy at Sveta's attitude. "I feel sorry for them already."- the golden-haired woman said and resumed reading. The black haired woman snickered,going back to her gun. "Well,get up!"-Sveta half-demanded,"Get up and sound off;I mean it." "Right,right."- the black haired woman said,putting the part she was polishing down and standing up. The rest of them followed. The black haired woman spoke first,"Name's Annette Turunnen. Witch name,Dark. And a warning for all of you biggrin on't touch my guns." The golden-haired woman spoke next,"Elisabeth Mitra. Witch name,Luna."- after which she sat down and continued reading;Dark following her example and going back to what she was doing. The silver-eyed woman brushed her long,dark brown hair out of her face and said in a wispy sort of voice,"My name is Fiona Pawelke. My witch name is Astra. I'm very pleased to meet you all;I'm sure you will do fine in the Order." Then she bowed respectfully. At her words of encouragement the recruits seemed a little easier. Finally;the silver-eyed man,who had rather long red hair,spoke,rather coldly,"Name,Drakken Moran. Witch name,Igneri. You will address me as Veran until further notice. Understood?" The recruits replied,"Aye,Veran!" "Oi,Igneri;where's Red?"-Sveta asked. Igneri said,"On a mission." Astra and Igneri sat down again and Igneri continued their conversation. "Huh."-Sveta said,then turned to the recruits,"And that reminds me:While every team has three members,you won't always be sent on missions together. Some missions are better suited for one person,and some simply don't need the whole team. We're given our missions according to our strengths. You'll hardly ever be given a mission the Verane think you can't handle. Of course,we can't always predict the outcome of every single fight. But we must always do our best to. Having the tactical advantage saves lives;remember that." "Aye,Veran."-the recruits replied. "You make a good sensei,Sveta."-an elven man said as he entered the lounge. He had very long,silver hair,and icy-yellow eyes. Sveta straightened up and said,"Veran."-then turned to the recruits,"Newbies,this is Veran Nyoka." Nyoka smiled and said,"My name is Azarehn Nagaeren. As Sveta already pointed out,my witch name is Nyoka. I am the Veran in command of teams six through ten." -then he turned towards the rest of the team members in the room,"Dark,Astra,Luna;with me." Luna put the book she was reading down on a table next to her seat;Dark,finishing to reassemble her gun,picked the gun up easily with one hand and hung it over her shoulder;Astra ended her conversation with Igneri,stood,and bowed to him respectfully. The three of them then followed Nyoka out of the room.

Another of the many stories I'm writing. This one's a bit more recent;I've only written the one chapter so far. It's one of,so far,only two stories of mine that features guns,as I'm not a big fan of guns; plenty of magick in it,though. As with the others I've posted;this is the raw,unaltered story that may or many not change when it's finished.
On a sidenote:'Veran' means 'Superior',as in 'boss';'Verane' is in plural form. A 'viegar' is a creature of my own creation,their origin is in another story I'm working on;I'll explain more on them further on in this story,though.
