The next day, everyone was ready for the training already. Body cleaned up, fresh clothes worn, boots laced, hair slicked, power boosters checked, extra water cans packed, but…
"Ashton's not awake yet!" Alden announced after coming back from the entrance of Ashton's orb.
"What?" Ulysses exclaimed in surprise. He stood up from the chair he had been sitting on patiently ready to charge into Ashton's orc without notice.
"I will go get him." Marcus announced his voice breaking through Ulysses' resolve.
"How? He is sleeping in his orb, remember?"
"And I'm this room's captain." Marcus said with a smirk.
He moved towards Ashton's supposed orb gateway and closed his eyes before swerving his hand in a circular motion then some triangle prisms inside the circle he had created. The seal protecting the orb faltered open and inside the orb was Ashton still sleeping like a log of wood.
