"It's so weird . . . . . How everyone we've met so far seems normal . . . . but when the time comes they are like trained soldiers . . . " I said to everyone .
"What was you expecting? . . . . " Jay asked curiously .
"I dunno . . . . Just seems kinda weird to me . . . . . That they can be so normal . . . . . Then suddenly switch into soldiers ready for a large battle without an ounce of fear or remorse… . . . . " I looked a little worried .
"I guess you're right . . . " Jay answered .
"She's not wrong . . . soldier do generally follow certain trends in behaviour and personalities . " Helen stated .
"Ohh I think I see Sven . " Daisy said pointing towards the Deputy Headmistress .
"Ahh crap . . . . . What should we do . . . . " Grace asked .
"Let's just go up there . . . . . There's no doubt the Deputy Headmistress knows we are here anyways . " I suggested .
"I guess you're right . . . " Helen agreed .
"Sven . . . . . " We whispered loudly trying to catch his attention but at a quieted tone to avoid the Deputy Headmistress form noticing .
"Ohhhh it's you guys . " Sven smiled telling us to come over .

"Ummm Deputy Headmistress . . . . . The first years have arrived . " Sven quietly notified her .
"The trouble makers? . . . . . " She said turning around to face us, our postures instantly straightened standing to attention . "So did you manage to get Paul back in time? . . . " She asked sternly as if expecting an immediate answer .
"Ummm yes Deputy Headmistress . . . . . He's currently resting in the Infirmaries . " I answered her trying to talk clearly despite my nervousness .
"And what did he do out there? . . " She asked curiously .
"Saving Refugee . . . Deputy Headmistress . . . . " I answered again .
"Very well . . . Sven watch over these trouble makers . . . make sure they don't get hurt, they are now your responsibility . " She ordered .
"Yes . . . . Deputy Headmistress . " he nodded and walked towards us . "Come, you all will be joining me on recon . " He ordered .
"Yes . . . " We all hesitantly replied .
"Yes Captain . " He ordered loudly but clearly smirking .
"Yes Captain . " We all corrected ourselves following his lead .
"Where are we going?" Jay asked quietly .

"Well firstly we'll head to Paul see what he had planned as he issued the order to retreat . . . . . " Sven answered .
"What are siege beasts? . . " I asked .
"Similar to siege weaponry . . . . but instead living creatures . . . . . Big and durable designed to take down fortified structures . " Sven explained .
"Yes creatures like earth elementals have the ability to meld earth naturally… . . Or giants burrowing creatures like tunnel worms…" Helen added .
"So what's our duty? . . . " Daisy asked .
"We're gonna be recon and support… . Any we'll keep a look out for tunnel worms and assisting flares… . . . " Sven instructed
"S--- On alert . . . . . " Sven said as we turned the corner facing the triage tents .
"What's wrong? . . . " Grace asked extremely concerned .
"I just saw a contingent of six guards enter the triage tent while the two guards distracted the Atlantis students at the front . . . " Sven informed us .
"What's the plan? . . . . " Daisy asked furiously .
"Grace lend me two arrows . . . . you and I will take out the guards immediately threatening the Atlantis students at the front . . . Emilia and Daisy you two go to the Atlantis tent make sure none of the guards broke off into that tent . . . and Helen and Jay you go into the solider tent . . . engage them if necessary but you're outnumber so once you get their attention retreat back into the open . " Sven quickly instructed and began threading his string onto the arrows Grace handed to him . "Okay can you make two shot at the same time . . . . . I need you to pierce through the armour . " He instructed her .
"I'll try my best . " Grace nodded nocking the two arrows in her bow and pulling the string back .
"Remember you four as fast as you can, lives are at risk . . . . " Sven reminded us of the gravity of the situation .
"When you're ready . . . . . " Sven quietly instructed Grace patiently waiting, as Grace focused in her aim taking a deep steady breath .
The moment the twang of the arrows rippled through the air into my ears I began to run . "Nice!!!" I heard Sven yell as the two guards came flying pass me the arrows impaled through their bodies .
A magical door of energy appeared in front the soldier tent and with a flash Jay and Helen stepped out of it weapons drawn .
"Emilia . . . my ranged spells aren't as fast or effective as yours so if you see a target you need to hit them and buy me time to close the distance . " Daisy notified me glowing with her golden hue ready for a fight .
"Okay!" I replied drawing my wand .
Entering the tent an Atlantis student was approach the two guards unknowingly walking into two Dark Elves . "Get back!!!! It's a trap!" I yelled blasting off a scorch ray at the closest it one without hesitation or trying to ration my Arcanum .
"What the?!" The guard in the rear shouted as the first one was caught off guard and sent flying out the tent .
"Get outta here!!! And send an Amber Flare!!!" I yelled at the other Atlantis student causing him to flee quickly .
"And here I thought today was gonna be boring . " The guard said removing her helmet to reveal a surprisingly very beautiful charcoal black skin, long flowing silver haired elf . . . . . Slowly she approached us leaving the Atlantis student to run, removing the clips and straps that held her armour revealing a very beautifully slender figure, wearing a slightly transparent silk black dress that doesn't look fit for combat drawing two menacing serrated short swords strapped to her thighs . "Little Demon girl . . . I wonder what wonderful sounds you will make when I flay your skin from your flesh . " She smiled menacingly assuming a very weird stance .
"My name is Daisy Paladin of Serra . . . . and this will be the last name you will learn and remember . " Daisy said drawing her large maul from her back, the Dark Elf effortlessly parried and dodged Daisy's attacks beautifully with very artful steps and movements . . . almost like a dance .
'Shit . . . . . Daisy can't hit her . . . . ' "Orbis-Igna" I shouted casting an Orb of flame behind her just as she tried to dodge another of Daisy's swings .
"F---ing witch . " She cursed in pain as the orb burned her flesh stopping her dodge .
"Dodge this . " Daisy yelled finally connecting her with a large baseball swing quickly followed with a cacophony of two thunderous bolts one with pure white radiance and second with a darkened shadowy bolt sending her flying through the orb and out the tent . Her scream of pain laced with laughter like some sort of masochist deriving pleasure from the pain .
"B----" You're gonna pay for what you did to my hair . " A voice spoke out behind me and a strange wet feeling like something licked my neck and the smell of scorched skin and hair .
"What the?" I tried turning around seeing the long flowing strands of silver white hair .
"Your smell . . . your taste . . . . it's . . . . . Intoxicating . . . . . " She whispered giggling menacingly before the feeling of a thud on my side quickly followed with the familiar intense searing pain . "Yessssssss I love it!!! Louder!!!! Your screams . . . is like beautiful music to my earssssss . " She shouted as the feeling of her weapon effortlessly slowly cutting up my body tearing through me I felt like a piece of meat in a butchery, my vision began to go blurry my whole body paralyzed seizing in pain . . . "Dying so soon? . . . . Guess we'll skip to the outro . . . . . " She giggled menacingly, "It truly has been . . . . . . . . . . a pleasure . . . " She whispered seductively into my ear like this f---ing crazy psycho is getting pleasure from this, her other arm appeared in front of me holding a dagger to my heart . . . . . . . . "A shame . . . in another life you would have made a lovely pet . . . . . " She whispered licking my neck again .
"NOOOO DON'T!" The muffled yell of Daisy running towards me dropping her maul lifting her glowing hand pointing out a finger to me but there was no way she would make it to me in time .
I am truly F---ED . . . . . . . . trying to lift my hand to stop her . . . . . But it was no use my body wasn't responding to me . . . . .
