New Book I decided to write.

OK, so this book currently has no title. Tell me what you guys think. I will post the second chapter on Monday.


Beginning

The students stared around at the dungeon wide eyed, as they all huddled in a group behind their teacher. Only of the students was listening to the teacher. The only student not huddle with the rest, and the only one looking like she wasn’t going to pee her pants.
Ta-Ren walked ahead of the other students, and fiddled with the long sleeves of her midnight blue robes. As she got closer and closer to the only open cell she could see in the dungeon, both snakes on her forearms began to hiss in warning.
“Ta-Ren, I sense something dangerous up ahead,” Ao the blue snake on her left arm told her.
“It is dark, evil. It wants to do us harm. Let’s kill it,” Aka the red snake on her right arm told her with a little giggle.
Ta-Ren sighed as she walked up beside her teacher, “Mrs. Ju-Ri are we going to be killing the Dark One in that cell up ahead?”
Mrs. Ju-Ri looked at the little girl beside her and wondered  how she always knew when something was near her. The little girl looked so small in the long sleeved robe she always wore. Mrs. Ju-Ri had no idea why she didn’t wear the sleeveless tunic the rest of the students wore.
Ta-Ren was the youngest student to be placed in Ju-Ri’s Dark One hunting class. The directors normally waited until students where 16 and older. This little girl was only 12, so far advanced magically it scared Ju-Ri when she saw how much she could do.
When the little girl had first come in her class, she came with instructions. Ju-Ri was told that the little girl was a Saboteur, Mystic and Warrior. No one had ever been all three in the known history of Dark One extermination.
Ju-Ri was also told to keep her from getting angry as she was uncontrollable when angered, and that the snakes tattooed on her arms were poisonous, so to keep her away from her class mates when she was angered.
Ju-Ri had no problems with the latter. The girl was very nice, and when she was angered she would always teleport out the class room before she hurt someone. Her snakes would always slither down her arms and drop onto the floor to keep everyone away from her. No one wanted to mess with the Red and Blue Maltese serpents. The two most dangerous snakes on Jus-Per their home planet.
“Yes we are. I am going to show you and everyone else in the class the proper way to kill this breed of Dark Ones,” Mrs. Ju-Ri told her as she stopped in front of the cell.
She waited until all the other students had come to a stop beside her, before she turned and stared at the Dark One before her. This Dark One was one of the lesser beings, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t dangerous if handled incorrectly. It stood at around 6ft tall, with muscles along it’s misshapen limbs. It’s red eyes glared out at her from their sunken sockets, in the square head. Because it was huddled in the corner of the cell she couldn't tell if it was either brown or black in color.
Ju-Ri jumped back as the Mooreing jumped out of it’s huddled position to stare at Ta-Ren. She was surprised the little girl didn’t scream. Instead she just stared at the creature. She watched as the girl raised her arms, and the snakes slithered out to stare out at the Mooreing.
The Mooreing let out a ear piercing scream as it immediately dropped to it’s knees and bowed. Ju-Ri and the other students gasped as they saw why she was said to be the strongest Saboteur to ever live. Most Saboteurs could only make Dark Ones weaker by forcing their will on them, but none had been able to make a Dark One bow. It seemed Ta-Ren had basically made the Mooreing her slave.
Ju-Ri jumped back again as the Mooreing started talking, “My Master, I am now yours to command. Do with me as you please,” it said in it’s gravely voice.
“You will kill yourself. Now. I do not feel like having you as a pet,” Ta-Ren said as she turned her back to the Dark One. She tipped her head to the side, and that was when Ju-Ri noticed both snakes had wrapped them selves around her neck, and were whispering to her.
“Well Ao and Aka, have informed me that I do need an informant in your world. You are free to go. Though if you ever betray me, I will summon you and make your death slow and painful. You will spend the next 600 years wishing I would just kill you already,” Ta-Ren said smiling  as she turned back to the creature.
Ju-Ri walked up to Ta-Ren to inform here there was no way they were letting the Mooreing go, when Ta-Ren ripped open a doorway to Rep-Ko the Dark One’s dimension. She watched as Ta-Ren shoved the Mooreing through.
Ju-Ri and the other students started backing away. Only very strong Mystics who had drank Dark One blood could open and close doorways. Most of the doorways that the Dark One’s came through were naturally occurring. They opened quickly and randomly, and closed the same.
The only way Mystics could open  those doorways was to ingest the blood of a powerful Dark One, and giving up any mercy and morals, and most of the time their sanity, to kill and drink an innocent’s blood to gain the power to control those doorways.
Ju-Ri quickly herded the other children out of the dungeon and into the Directors’ offices. She didn’t want to be the one to teach Ta-Ren any longer. She didn’t think she even wanted the little girl to be in the school. The Directors informed her however, that without that little girl, their world would be lost.
Ju-Ri refused to teach Ta-Ren regardless, and so did every other teacher when they found out what she could do.  None of them dared ask her how she came by drinking a Dark One’s and an innocent babies blood. They were too scared.
Only Ta-Ren and her snakes knew that she was half Looning. The most powerful of the Dark One’s. The innocent blood, was from when her twin was torn apart by their mother after she found her children were not full Humans. Poor little Ta-Ren was bathed in her twins blood, as she ran away from her mother.
Eventually Ta-Ren left the school to do things her way against the protests and threats of the Directors. She said it was the best thing for everyone. Everyone but her that is, because poor little Ta-Ren was alone again. The one thing she hated in all the world, other than her father, was to be alone.
