Tales of the Supremes Chapter 1

"Where am I?" regaining her consciousness, Tala mumbled as she was somewhat baffled . She don't know the place where she's in . The place is vast, she cannot see it's end . It's so bright that she can hardly open her eyes wide .

"Who are you?" she rubbed her eyes and upon seeing the surrounding clearly, she saw a man standing in front of her shrouding with light . A light that gaves her a feeling of warm . The man didn't reply . Instead, he just gave her a smile . A smile that is somewhat happy and sad . A moment later, she remembered what happened to her . She fought with her people and friends towards the army of demon . The army of demon consist of thousands of million soldier that is more than her million of people . They don't have a chance to win . Upon realizing this, her friends decided to send her away to survive but she refuse . They were surrounded, no one will survive on their side . But before their death comes, her 6 friends decided to make full of their strength and open a channel, then they push her to enter the channel . Before it faded, she try to get up and lend them a hand but the channel is slowly fading . There's nothing she can do as she watch them slayed by the enemy . As the channel faded away, she tremble with tears of her eyes and lost her consciousness .

She begin to shed tears as she remembered what happened to her friends . She gritted her teeth then rubbed her eyes . She slowly open her eyes and eyeing to see the man but what she saw was different again .

"A crowd?" she murmured as she startled . They are the people in her tribe . A more than thousand people sitting quietly in the square as they listen to the middle-age man standing in the center of the square .

"Tomorrow will be the final part of the competition where the ranking of the top ten will be decided", said the middle-age man . His voice sounded to everyone's ear clearly as if he is near them .

"Is this my final dream?" she thought as she was dumbstruck . "This is insane . This looks real . " She looked at her surrounding as she was startled to what she saw . She saw their Head sitting quietly in distant with the nine Vice-head sitting too . This nine Vice-head are the leader of the nine faction in the tribe . In her side were the other nine competitor . She pinched her chicks to prove if she was dreaming but it actually hurt her a little . She slapped herself to further prove if she was just dreaming but it hurt her a lot . As she don't believe the situation, she pinched herself non-stop from her nose to ears to hands to arms to neck and slap her forehead then stomp her feet .

The other competitor on her side were dumbstruck upon seeing her hurting herself . They were curious as to what she was doing . No one voice out their curiosity .

"Uhm, Tala what are you doing?" one of the competitor asked as he cannot endure it anymore .

Upon seeing the sight of shock of her competitor, she stop hurting herself and begin to humbly stand up straight with her heads up . "Nothing!" she simply answered .

"I will announce right now the rewards of each ranking . " the middle-age man begin to enumerate the various rewards . "The top ten will receive a grade-1 pearl and a guidance from the disciple of Vice-head Cesa . The top nine will receive a grade-1 pearl and receive a guidance from the disciple of Vice-head Paras . "

Everyone was listening to the rewards while Tala was busying herself to perceive what's going on .

The top 10-6 receive grade -1 pearl each and guidance from a disciple of different Vice-head .

"The top 5 will receive a grade-2 pearl and a guidance from Vice-head Bay . The top 4 will receive a grade-3 pearl and guidance from Vice-head Huan . The top 3 will receive the grade-4 pearl and be a disciple of Vice-head Nina . The top 2 will receive a grade-5 pearl and be a disciple of Vice-head Luna and the top one will receive a grade-6 pearl and have the freedom to choose his/her own faction . The top one will also permitted to enter the lake of life . In addition, he/she will receive the golden medallion . That's all . "

"Golden medallion?" She knitted her eyebrows as she hears this words . "I must obtain it . " She remember the use of this medallion from her previous memory . If she can obtain it, any request will be granted without objection as long as it will not do harm from the tribe .

The crowd are slowly walking out to the square . After all the time of checking if her situation is not just a delusion, Tala clenched her fist with determination, she muttered "This will be my head start . "
