Lisa sat on the sofa inside her dome , reading Sariel's big book. Well at that moment it was the only source of entertainment so far. She read the book almost halfway through before setting it aside. It was already so late and so she just went to bed right after.
"Lisa you're stuck in this world with no way of going home. What if this is all just a dream? What if you're a human who happened to be in a wrong place at a wrong time? What would happen if they found out you're not dead? Would they send you back to earth? Will they actually kill you? But what if there's a real reason you're here? What would it mean to you? Are you really set for the challenge." She kept turning back and forth with so many thoughts in her mind. Trying to understand her life as it is.
"What if the person I'm supposed to find is here? What if it's a trick and I shouldn't do it? What if I'm being tricked to doing something wrong? Tricked to unleash the worst in the world. " She kept digging through her mind over and over again till she went to sleep.

"Jane! Wait up." She found Jane already walking down the hall.
"Lisa." She hugged her.
"How was last night?" She asked with a smile on her face.
"I was hanging out with Jinnah." She said it so close to Lisa's ear.
"I don't understand why you guys treat them like celebrities."
" Because they are basically celebrities. And they are doing their last year, so soon they will be Angel and Demon." She added.
." I don't think I'll ever understand this world." She shook her head and went inside the class.
Sariel was already there as always.
"Why is he looking like that." She glanced at Sariel's hostile gaze as she whispered to Jane.
"Probably up to something no good." She whispered back.
" Jane and Lisa would you sit down and stop chatting." He suddenly yelled making us both to jump. We quickly ran to sit down and listen to whatever he has to say.
"Thank Johnathan to grace us with your lateness. NOW HURRY UP AND SIT DOWN!!!" He did as Archangel Sariel told him.
Then he stares at the whole class for a long time, like a really long time that everyone was terrified.
"You're probably asking yourselves what's going on." At last he let's out a few words.
" Well you should."
"Okay now he's really scaring me." She mummers to Jane.
" Me too."
Then his gaze quickly turns to them and they immediately kept silent.
"Like I said before, I will say it again. THIS IS NOT A GAME. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ACADEMY MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY."
" What's he talking about?" Two students whispered to each other.
"Daniel! Do you want to come and take over? Since it seems you know way better than me." The girl shook her head.
" That's what I thought. Now I expected everyone to be quiet and listen to me. In the fifth realm there's a war. A very nasty one I might add. No you're probably asking yourselves what does that have anything to do with you? Well I'm here to tell you. It has everything to do with you! Everything happening in the 14 Realms has everything to do with you."
He then starts pacing around the class.
"I have a task for you." He said.
"What? Did you want us to stop the war?" Jimmy asked curiously.
" No Jimmy. I want you to be part of the war." He smirked almost wickedly.
" What?" The whole class mummers.
"Yes. I want all of you to be part of the war."
" But how are we going to do that?" Lisa asked.
" By going to the fifth realm of cause."
" How are going to go to the fifth realm."
" See when you don't let me finish explaining. Of cause you will be confused. Why wouldn't you be? As I said all of you are going to the fifth realm. This is to test you. How you really think, how fast can you think , how fast can you react to circumstances?." Then he suddenly he stops pacing.
" But what's the point if don't have a little competition? What's going to push you, when you're not the one affected in the end? Then this would be all a waste of everyone's time. This would be all for nothing , but here we don't work for nothing. We work to gain something , for greatness , to be better than our past selves. Every victory comes with a price and so does failure. It's time you asked yourselves. Are you a failure or are you a winner? Are you here to fall or are you here to rise? And here if you haven't made your mind let me stir your little mind a little. Here we only deal with winners people who know what they want and people who strive for greatness so if you are none of those then you are in a wrong place. And I want to believe everyone of you here, you're here for a purpose because Shepa chose you to be here for a purpose if you didn't have a purpose you wouldn't have chosen you to be here. With that being said let's go back to the war in the fifth realm." He paused a little bit.
" So what did I mean by little competition? I meant that all of you will be going to the fifth realm and you will be competing against each other, how so? So here is how I will do it, I will divide you into two teams and of course each team will be fighting against each other. So you might ask yourself what does this have anything to do with the war, ohh I tell you it has everything to do with the war. All of you by now know that war has two sides and like I will do to you, you will have two sides so each side will be divided into either side of the war and you will be a competing against each other."
" But Archangel how are we supposed to do that? Usually a war has two sides , with one fighting for a good cause and fighting for a wrong cause. I don't understand."
" Yes that is absolutely correct. But you must also acknowledge that not every side fighting for a good cause wins. It might be the other way around. The most important thing is to be prepared and ready for a war no matter the cost. Just because you're bad doesn't mean you can't be a winner. That's why we have what we call Demons. There Demons higher than you and how do you think they did that? By winning , striving for the best. Doesn't matter which side you choose , but what's important is what you make of it , how you aim to move forward.
I won't tell you which side is good or bad. I won't tell which side should win. Those are things you should discover yourself. Even if you do what do you plan to do about it? Do you think like a Demon or an Angel?
Because sooner or later you must choose between the two. Are you an Angel or A Demon. "
" But how are we going to be part of the war?" On student asked.
" Well that's simple. I will send as spirits to posses a certain body. Which ever body I choose for you , will be in your control. What they think , do, choose , how they act will be according to your will."
" So like in a video game?" Lisa asked.
" Yes like in a video game. So what is a prize if you win? You will receive the power to be automatically able to fly. When I say automatically able , I mean as good as the last year students. Which means your flying will match up to them, but if you lose then you'll have to learn the hard way."
" Like the last year students? This is gonna be great! Prepare to die whoe ever is against me!" One learner shouted like he was already victorious.
" Shut up Adam!" Sariel shouted. "Now to divide you into your teams." He starts calling out names pointing them to either side. Lisa wasn't complaining , only that her friend Jane was on opposite side.
"I guess we're enemies for today." She smiled.
" And prepare to lose." Lisa smirked.
" Ohh it's like that huh? We shall see." She as well smiled.
" Shut up!" As Ariel promised, he starts transporting each student away.
"Wow. This looks bad, really bad." She said as she got into her chosen body.
"Ahhh!!!" Lisa was immediately thrown to the ground.
