The new disciples are arriving as we speak. Alert the High Priest and the Principal. We need to be ready to greet them and get them training as soon as possible."</em> He was tall and lean, dressed in a dark blue uniform with white trim, his stoic demeanor supplemented by the dark color scheme and the rimless spectacles he was wearing. It all gave him a very professional, matter-of-fact vibe. His partner, a Buxom Woman seated beside him, while wearing the same uniform, was lit by the flashing displays and the reflections of a rainbow of colors played off her face. She seemed all the brighter for it and her smile enhanced this look. <em>"Yes, sir,"</em> she said, leaning over to press a button. A communication channel opened and she began to deliver a message. <em>"This is control, let the High Priest know they've arrived.."</em><br><br><strong>Eros Island Docks</strong><br><br>Aterra Island was the center of humanity's fight against the Dusk Circles. It was where the first one had formed and in those innocent days when there was but one, humanity built a fortress around it. The Dusk Circle was located in the center of the island and Eros Academy had formed around it. The circle spewed monsters on occasion, but these were handled by disciples on patrol around it's perimiter and automated defenses. This Dusk Circle had yet to become fully active, but it was still producing creatures of darkness. It was the perfect place to study and train. Outside of the protective wall around this circle is where the academy had blossomed. <br><br><div class="floatright">(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k512/MissF1R3/Aterra_zpsmnmruqfu.png)</div><br>The new disciples arrived aboard the Shepard, a small transport ship designed to ferry people from the main continent to the island. With one special exception (which the students would see later) the island itself was too dense with forest for air travel. Indeed, the sprawling academy and the city that had formed around it seemed to be spilling off the island itself. As the new disciples disembarked the ship they would be arriving on a dock and even from there they could see the way the facility seemed to 'climb' the mountain that dominated the center of the island. Level after level of buildings rose up all around them, connected by paths and stairways. The architecture was less military than one might expect and it looked like the architects of the place had actually considered form as well as function. The city on Aterra island had more of a resort feel to it, than that of a military complex. Perhaps it was because the disciples were all teenagers and needed to feel at ease. Eros Academy dominated the center of the landscape, with it's massive main building right in the center of the city. <br><br>The students were not alone for long. Minutes after leaving the Shepard two guards approached. They were dressed in military-style uniforms dark blue in color with an emblem on the shoulder that depicted a stylized wing. The Angelus Industries logo. Angelus was one of the most respected companies in the world and had their hand in every pie you could imagine. Technology, corporate security, transportation, everything. <em>"Allow me to welcome you new disciples to Eros. If you all will come with me, I'll take you to the Welcome Center where you can relax a moment. The High Priest and Principal will be along shortly to go over your introduction."</em> The guard's introduction ended without the students being given a chance to ask questions. He and his partner turned and walked off, leading the group away from the docks.<br><br><strong>Welcome Center</strong><br><br>The journey was brief, only taking them just off the docks and away from the hustle and bustle of goods being delivered and ships being maintained. The group traveled through an arched gate and finally set foot into the city proper, where concrete below was replaced by smooth brick tile and the smell of the sea was overtaken by the scents of cooking food. The guards ushered the teenagers into a small white and blue building on the left. 'Eros Island Welcome Center', it proudly proclaimed. The interior was cooled by air conditioning, the place decorated in friendly white and blue. In the middle of the entry was a holographic display of a buxom young woman and a handsome young man, both bearing the mark and both dressed in Eros Academy's uniform. Framed posters hung on the wall, mostly advertisements for the academy. Some of them depicted heroic young men and women battling the demons and were lined with phrases like 'Thank you for fighting!'&nbsp; or&nbsp; 'We're proud of you!'&nbsp; or&nbsp; 'Humanity's last hope!'. All very inspiring - or at least they tried to be. From the entry, the students were taken into a smaller room which looked like a conference room gone casual Friday. The perimeter was lined with comfortable-looking couches and chairs and there was no great conference table to be seen, just a small platform with a projector on it, pointed at a bare wall. Between the furniture that lined the walls were smaller end tables, each holding a small selection of beverages and refreshments. Healthy things; water, juice, fruit. <em>"Please wait here for now, they'll be along shortly,"</em> said the guard curtly, before exiting the room with his partner.

				Nickalie walked around the docking area as he watch other people like himself walking off&nbsp; the Shepard but not too far. Figuring there would be some one coming shortly that would escort them all to where they need to be. He would hate to get lost in this place and look like a fool just because his curiosity got the better of him, besides there were too may woman around to stare at. However his old perverted habits was hard to focus while still thinking about what happen to his family. His parents and brother were gone which made him feel a little&nbsp; alone and the only think he have left of them is what is in his back pack. Yet it seems fate have plans for him, it was in a way to get back at the demons then he be more then willing to let fate guide him.<br><br>He wasn't in his thoughts too long as he heard and saw guards with the Angelus logo on one shoulders calling out for everyone to fallow before they turned around and start walking. Nick had some questions but he figure it be best to wait until the right time, he just had to be patient. As he and the rest of the group being lead inside of the welcome Center he could help but take interest of what was all around him. Not like 'Oh my god!' but more of a 'hmmm interesting' type of feel. He watch the others to see what reactions they themselves would have but other then that he said or do nothing other then fallowing the guards. As they kept moving he looked over and seen the holographic dislays of young women and men like himself with all there catch phrases to help inspire everyone. Really it only make him think about the movie Starship Troopers where trained troopers go out and fight the alien bugs. He waited to see if anyone would make some sort of comment themselves like 'Yep we're all going to die, just like these guys!'. That would make him laugh at first though if it was meant for a joke but looking at everyone's face's they didn't seem to be in the mood for it.<br><br>In a short time they were all lead to a small room in which they would asked to wait here. Nickalie looked around the room for a moment before he decide to go ahead and set on one of the couches. Once he did he would look at everyone that was in the room casually and study them as well to get more of an idea of who he might be with in this place sense they are like him, chosen from the star god.

				Alexander did not like the boat ride. He didn't catch sea sickness or anything, but he did end up getting sick of was the slight movement of the boat when&nbsp; it hits a more than average wave. Add in the fact that he could literally feel the hormones exiting from the male populous and some of the females, Lex did not find this ride enjoyable. However, he couldn't help but to admit that the female forms he was seeing coming here were really attractive. To control himself from staring any longer, Lex proceeded to lean off the railing of the boat and stared off into the ocean until they docked. It seemed like it was forever until they could dock because the land just seemed so far away, but Lex felt like congratulations were in order for surviving the ride.<br><br>Finally, when the got to land, everyone began to file from the boat unto the docks. It took a little while to get off, but when he got off he saw two personnel who were dressed in military-style uniforms that was dark blue in color with an emblem on the shoulder that depicted a stylized wing. If memory served correctly, that logo belonged to Angelus Industries. So they're the ones that fund this operation? <strong><em>"Allow me to welcome you new disciples to Eros. If you all will come with me, I'll take you to the Welcome Center where you can relax a moment. The High Priest and Principal will be along shortly to go over your introduction."</em></strong> Well that was quick. "Tsk. These guys don't leave anything to suspense huh? At least they're on time." Lex whispered to himself while shoving his hands into the pants of the uniform he wore.<br><br>As they were being escorted out of the docks and through the arch gate ahead, Lex took one look out towards the sea with a sense of longing. He wished he could've remained home. He missed his father and the setting he was used to. Now he had to deal with different personalities and possibly the worse people he could ever meet. Well it could be better. He could meet the best people he'd ever meet. Once they were ushered through the gate, they were taken into the city for a bit and entered a building labeled the 'Eros Island Welcome Center.' Lex had to raise an eyebrow to the hologram of the man and woman and all the posters of Disciples fighting demons with 'inspiring' quotes of "Thank you for your service." They ended up entering a room with a decent amount seating arrangements and refreshments. <strong><em>"Please wait here for now, they'll be along shortly,"</em></strong> The guard said before he and his partner left.<br><br>"Fuck. Really?" Lex whispered to himself.
