Neon slowly opened his eyes and was greeted by staring into the sun. He satup to get his eyes out of the sun. Sitting next to him was a man, looked to be in his late thirties, short blonde hair and a long black scythe on his back.

"Ah, you're awake I see" Said the man, Neon raised one eyebrow, the manspoke again "Ah, how rude of me. I'm Tom" He said, offering Neon a hand up, Neon took it. "And I'm-"

"Neon, I know" Neon was confused, but decided toconclude that Caleb had informed the man,there was a long awkward silence, which Neon broke "Where's Caleb? And that woman?"

"Excuse me, but that woman has a name, Havock, and she's over there with Caleb" Said Tom, pointing over to where two figures were seemingly fighting, bothwith swords "What are they doing?" Asked Neon "Training, speaking of which" Said Tom, standing up and taking the scythe off his back and holding out his free hand.

Neon watched, after about two minutes a black-purple glow appeared, it extended into about one and a half eters and took form as a pitch black pole, then out of each end, two crescent-blades extende, facing opposite directions. Tom gave Neon the first scythe, and kept the one he just sumoned for himself.

He walked off, and gestured for Neon to follow, Neon complied. When To told Neon to stay put, Tom walked ahead about a yard, Then stayed put "Why exactly?-" Asked Neon, but was interupted.

"-Are we training? Well, I'll be honest with you, that man you saw, it wasn't a dream. He was real, he's one of the Following, their leader being exact. The man they work for, none know his name, so we adequately call him 'The Dark Lord'. Or, for those who oppose him 'The Dark One'".

"But why-"

"Are they after you? Now there's the one question I can't answer you... Yet".

I know this is short but I had a deadline T.T Gomenne.
