Thank you to everyone who read, vote and comment on the Radiant Warrior. Happy Reading.

The conjured storm still drenched the Houses of Apprentice Hall, including the grand Focal House fit for Immortals to grace their presence with.

The Focal House was the only one which had giant bronze, silver, and gold statues of the noble Beastials surrounding it. It was also the only one with no Beastial seated on its roof.

The Hyods were holding a congregation in the Council Chamber.

It was an immaculate room which was cylinder in shape, had a round granite table at the centre. To the north, south, east, and west were immensely large arc doors. There were eight golden thrones fit for royalty surrounding the table.

Blackthorn and Heliocana sat next to each other in the southeast of the room. Behind them and the other Hyods were depictions and monuments of their unique Rudiments.

At the rear of Heliocana was a range of volcanoes spewing pure fire and molten rocks. If you asked Apprentices, the scolding hot Rudiment descried the Lady of Fire perfectly as she was known to be abrupt, fierce and feisty.

Behind Blackthorn was a forest with a chilling wind entering and exiting it.

To the eyes of the denizens, he was an observant and mysterious Hyod whom only congregated with his own House Warriors and siblings. The denizens yearned to know more about him. His personality made him the ideal candidate for interim leader of the Hyods.

Ponthious and Hyperiown were assembled in the southwest. Following, Ponthious was an ocean of whirlpools and typhoons.

Ponthious to his warriors, was a calm and rational Hyod. It took a lot to anger him.

Hyperiown's milieu was a sky filled with lightning and rain clouds. Hyperiown was the opposite of his brother Ponthious. He was rash, abrupt and quick become angered.

Demetah and Hallious were accommodated in the northeast and their settings were monuments being built and destroyed after quakes for Demetah and swirling mercury hurricanes for Hallious.

Demetah showed her presence to her followers whenever she could. She helped them forage and strategize on how to live and fight for their survival. She was polite and approachable.

Hallious was like his sister Demeter and also showed himself to those in need especially to the sick and homeless. He treated his apprentices and warriors like kin and was very protective of them.

The seats of the Hyod of Wind and Ice were empty with only a blizzard and tornado to symbolize their presence.

The room was otherwise dark with only an elongated crystal chandelier brightening the middle of the chamber.

The chandelier elucidated whichever Hyod spoke. White pillars separated the four doors and each Rudimental background which looked like they were in the room and not just a conjuring.

Blackthorn was the first to speak in his rough tone of voice and the light from the chandelier elucidated upon him, to illuminate his green eyes, long dark hair and silver emerald armour.

"Fellow Hyods, we are assembled here today to report on the progress of the future army of the Militia of Light."

"Are any of your Apprentices ready to partake in joining us at the Othyrus Castle?"

Hallious answered first and the lime light fell upon him.

It radiated his handsome face, white armour and long silver hair. His diamond alligator helmet was placed on the granite table before him.
