Landonne made his way down the walkway, he had stopped running deciding to take his time because he was late already, his hands behind his head he leisurely strolled, he looked off to his side through the sand colored pillars into the courtyard there were a squadron of soldiers practicing their archery, led by Sasiria, she tucked strands of her ginger hair behind her ears, Landonne could see that she had taken notice of him from the corner of her eye, but she quickly changed her focus back to the people in front of her, having reached the end walkway he came to an opening with a old gold plate to the top that read ‘OFFICER’S BUILDING’, he turned the corner making his way up the stairs,

After a few minutes of walking he came to a stop at the end of the hallway, he stood in front of the wooden door, on the other side he could hear muffled voices, The golden name plate read, CPT. COL, in dull red lettering, Landonne took a deep breath, and knocked on the door,

“Private Landonne Libera, reporting”, Landonne announced, taking a step back, shortly after the door swung open, out walked the last person Landonne had expected to see, Landonne quickly shuffled to one side of the hallway dropping to one knee and lowering his head,

“Hail the Young Dragon, Your Royal Highness”, Landonne said, looking at the ground as a bead of sweat fell from his nose,

“you’ve raised him well Zo, but I wish he wasn’t so nervous around me, Stand up Lan”, The prince said,

Landonne quickly stood up his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the prince, his eyes specifically, were a piercing shade of yellow, that seemed bright and unnatural, his pupils, slit and narrow, almost seeming draconic, from what landonne knew from hearing the prince talk to zora and what people said the ancestors of the royal family once shared blood with one of the ancient dragons who bestowed upon them the right to rule, but those were stories,

“anyways I’ll be leaving”, the prince said a wide smile on his face as he walked away, landonne let out the breath that he had been holding in while the prince passed,

“don’t be so relieved just yet”, A voice from inside the office said,

“You may enter now, Landonne”, Zora said, getting up from her chair, as landonne closed the door behind,

“LAAAAANNNNDDDOONNNEE”, Zora yelled jumping through the air tackling Landonne to the ground, hugging him tightly,

“Let go of me sis”, Landonne said trying to wiggle away from her,

“ohhh I missed you they have me swamped with work, that cruel prince working a fair maiden like me to the bone”, she said,

“ I noticed I went to the house looked like you hadn’t been there in weeks”, Landonne said,

“that’s because she hasn’t been”, the stern voice said again, Landonne looked up to see jud looking on at Zora in disappointment, he would usually have on his circular pair of shades that hid his eyes, but seeing as the prince just left he understood why he had them off, but by now he had put them back on, he looked down at the notepad on his hand,

“I think that that’s enough fooling around now Zora, lets get down to business”, Jud said, placing the Notepad on the desk and coming over and peeling Zora off of Landonne,

“Thanks a lot Jud”, Landonne said, pushing himself back to his feet,

“That’s Captain, to you brat”, Jud said, flicking landonne between the eyes,

“What the hell was that for”, Landonne said holding his face,

“One of us has to discipline you, and we both know that isn’t going to be Zora”, Jud said, walking next to the desk and standing at ease with his hands behind his back, as Zora took her seat once more at the Desk, She spun her chair around looking through the ceiling to floor glass window that stood behind her, and let out a shallow sigh,

“Landonne, ypu’ve been at this base since you were eight, and if you could you would’ve become a soldier since the day you got here, me and Jud have personally trained you and I must say you are a naturally born soldier, but all good things must end”, Zora said, swing her chair around again to face landonne,

“What exactly are you getting at sis”, Landonne said,

“from today, By Order Of Prince Nidavid De la Draconia, Your are to attend the Dragonial Martial Academy”, Zora said,

“what”, Landonne said, as he looked on at zora, as if she had just spoken a different language, his eyes darted to jud then back to zora then back at jud then back to zora,

“What the hell sis, I just enlisted, why the hell would you ship me off to that school for rich Noble assholes”, Landonne said, leaning forward onto her desk,

“it wasn’t my decision landonne, it came from Nida”, Zora said, Jud cleared his throat loudly right after,

“from prince Nidavid”, She corrected,

“and why would he send me there, did you ask him to”, Landonne said,

“No I didn’t, though if it was my decision I would still send you”, Zora said, this only made Landonne even angrier, but he looked the two of them in their faces once more, and took a deep breath,

“is this a plan between the three of you to keep me from going to the front lines, cause if it is I already told you I don’t mind”, Landonne was saying,

“I know, I know, you don’t mind if you end up dead, but this isn’t that, infact the reason the prnce chose you may end up putting you in far more danger than if you went to the frontlines”, Zora said,

“Zora I think you said enough”, Jud intervened,

“ Fine, I’ll go along with whatever it is that you guys have planned, when do I have to start”, Landonne said,

“from today”, Zora answered,

“oh great, anything else”, Landonne said,

“yeah if it makes you feel any better Dante will also be attending with you”, Zora said, hearing this made landonne stop for a moment,

“when you get to the school entrance, tell them you have come to attend the prince’s class”, Jud said, Landonne walked out grumbling to himself, slamming the door shut,
