However, the topics that the author alludes to are entirely real and serious
|
||||
problems that require deep thought and consideration.
|
||||
|
||||
Some phrases, names and slang have been translated from the original languages
|
||||
they were in to English in order to make it flow better for people that don't
|
||||
know those languages. Effort has been taken to make things not stand out too
|
||||
much, however the author is imperfect.

Alicia strode across camp and made her way to her team's barracks. Her team was
|
||||
one of the better performing ones in the Zhalrami School of Bladecraft. It got
|
||||
her to thinking about her father.
|
||||
|
||||
Her father had done a lot of the hard work raising her after her mother passed from the mage trials. The Zhalrami army was so desperate for spellcasters that they had invaded her home town of Letsel and found her mother. Alicia's mother was a natural born mage, absurdly skilled in her craft. She used her talent to help her community thrive. Tistus had gotten into a tustle one day and had broken his arm. Without her mother's intervention, Tistus would have easily suffered a life of deformity or worse.

Alicia paused as she approached her cot. It was exactly as she had left it. The
|
||||
corner she left folded was in the same upper left corner that it was always in.

Alicia scowled across the battlefield as she studied the paper her teacher gave her. "Yep, they have the high ground. You need to capture their flag and bring it back."

Alicia nodded and turned to her team to start formulating strategy as the

teacher went off to watch the situation unfold.
|

|

"Oh, one more thing:", the teacher interrupted. "If you travel in groups of less than 2, the green team is allowed to tag members of your team out. This will count against you in the scoring. If you wanna do well, don't go it alone."

|

|

_That's totally not ominous,_ Alicia thought to herself.
|
||||
|
||||
Alicia looked over her team and sighed. "I knew that this would be hard, but it
|
||||
looks like this is going to suck. We're against green team. They have the high
|
||||
ground. We've got to take the flag from somewhere around here. No claws on the
|
||||
flag, it's supposed to be left intact as much as possible. Otherwise it's your
|
||||
standard recon mission trying to get a document from the enemy. Tis, you're with
|
||||
me. You two scouts pair up and you allarounders are together. Please don't get
|
||||
caught."
|
||||
|
||||
Everyone nodded. Puri spoke up, "Do we know anything about the terrain? I've
|
||||
never been in this part of the field before."
|
||||
|
||||
Alicia gestured at the map. "This map is all we've got and it's 10 years out of
|
||||
date. Hopefully it's accurate. I think the river may be a safer place, but we're
|
||||
sneps so our heads are going to stand out. Stay low to the ground I guess. The
|
||||
river isn't the best to drink though."
|
||||
|
||||
"I see, thank you." Puri mused and settled into her place in the circle.
|
||||
|
||||
"Oh, one more thing. If they play dirty, don't play dirty back. It'll push our
|
||||
score down. Let's head out and kick ass!"
|
||||
|
||||
Alicia smiled and lead her team to victory, projecting an outward image of calm
|
||||
and collected focus but on the inside she was worried sick. This was one of the
|
||||
bigger ones. _No, now's not the time to worry_, she thought to herself, taking a
|
||||
deep breath and heading out towards the battlefield.

Over on the side, Zekas was watching. Blanu was laying in the grass next to him.
|
||||
|
||||
"Hey boss?"
|
||||
|
||||
Zekas grunted and looked over at Blanu. "What do you want? I'm trying to keep an
|
||||
eye on Alicia. Something bothering you?"
|
||||
|
||||
"Why do you care about this so much? She ain't done anything to you-"
|
||||
|
||||
Zekas cut Blanu off with a swift punch to the shoulder. "Shut up and focus on
|
||||
the girl. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it."
|
||||
|
||||
"Okay boss." Blanu nodded and scooched over away from Zekas, hopefully outside
|
||||
of the range of his fists. He raised his contraband spyglass to his face and
|
||||
took a look down at the field.
