8 Sarah (1/2)
”You finally woke up!” a girl said as she stood beside me.
”Where am I? Who are you?” I asked as I looked around, examining the room.
”You're alive,” she said, what she told me did not make any sense. She had seductive cat eyes which were hypnotizing me as I glanced at her for far too long.
”I am Mitsuko Kitsuname and you are at one of Naeyriv's dorm. You must be the metin rae, you're like the new exciting gossip around here.”
”Everyone knows me?”
”You are quite popular, even at Seleanor.”
”Where?”
”The royal city, there are so many things you still don't know.”
”I guess, I don't.”
”Don't worry, stay with me and I'll show you everything.”
”How did I get here? I was doing a test and now I'm here.”
”The tersen test, you actually fainted, they say most of the time everyone dies. Thinking about it you are the only one who survived, but you're not really a tersen. I would feel lucky if I were you.”
”They didn't tell me this at the beginning of the test.”
”Imagine if they told you to do a test where there is a high percentage of you dying, you wouldn't do it, but if you didn't, they would have killed you anyway, so maybe you would, I don't know.”
”Okay, then I guess it's good for me. I'm alive?”

”Oh, you can't go outside,” she insisted.
”Did you just read my thoughts?”
”It is something our family can do, not everyone but most of us can.”
”Why can't I go outside?”
”Syrda's Haras.”
”What?”
”I forget you are new to everything, it's a test.”
”I'm not doing another one!”
”It is just a contract made through the chalice of Syrda between four yirais.”
”What type of contract?”
”The chalice chooses the reymir or as you would call it the leader of the group, every one of us needs to drink from it. By Syrda's law, the reymir cannot be touched or killed by the haras.”
”The haras?”
