As soon as I entered it was pitch back. The shimmering blue wall had disappeared behind me and I was left on my own not know what was going to happen next.

A clacking sound was distant, and I frowned trying to get my eyes to adjust to the lack of light faster. There were clear shuffling footsteps getting closer to me and I realised the clacking sound was a walking stick on the stone floor beneath me. Shadows ran around me whispering, I could feel the air move as they passed close to me. They all suddenly stopped.

“Welcome Miss Hart. We were wondering when you would be here.” An old voice croaked as a hooded figure stepped forward.

“Who are you?” I asked suspiciously.

“I am the Founder.” He stated.

“The Founder of the Inperium? That Founder?” I questioned.

“A version of him, yes.” He said.

“I suppose that makes sense.” I muttered to myself. Nothing made sense at this insane place, I thought to myself.

“I have to ask you a couple of questions.” He forged forward.

“Okay.” I said. Trying to get a better look at his face which the hood completely covered.

“Do you undertake this trial on behalf of the Inperium, to serve them as the organisation sees fit?” He began.

“Yes, I suppose…” A gong sounded in the distance.

“The trial will tell us all your true breeding. Do you understand?” He only wanted a yes.

“So, I will know what part human I am.” I had my own questions.

“Yes, you will, but it comes at a cost.” He said, talking in riddles.

“Which is?”

“Not for me to say.” He was being cryptic.

“Okay.” I rolled my eyes.

“It is time for you to begin then, Aurora.” He announced.

Instantly my surroundings were transformed. The Founder was gone. A room materialized around me, it was old and dusty, the wallpaper hung off the wall in places and the sofa was unlovingly placed threadbare. A fireplace stood, but not proudly. The floorboards were stained and the rug they covered them was bunched up against the wall.

Three doors sat along that wall. They all looked the same apart from symbols that they had on them. One looked like a dagger, one looked like a snake and the last one I recognised as the Imperium symbol. All three of the symbols looked familiar to me. I wondered if I had just seen them in Tristan’s books or before that. I chose the door with the Inperium symbol and walked in. I was not surrounded by a room like I had expected but a vast green plain.

The ground rumbled beneath me and I knew something was coming. I dived out of the way as trees rose from the ground around me and shot up into the sky until I was surrounded by a dense forest. It seemed like thousands of them. Everything was green and mossy, and the air smelt damp. I could barely see the sky for the trees. A loud noise surrounded me. I was not alone. Faces appeared around some of the trees, I could barely make them out.
