Chapter 1 A new Life.

Geoffrey's PoV

"Today's just another day," I thought as I stretched out from my bed, "There's that new recruit who was accepted into my platoon the other day. She seems kind of spacey. I guess I should check if she's awake. Newbies tend to sleep in and then delay the patrol."I got dressed and put on my armor. As I looked in the mirror, I saw that my armor was worn and getting a tad bit small. I wasn't too surprised; this was my third suit of armor in two years. I've been growing at an alarming rate. I thought to myself, "it's definitely time to buy new armor."

Azelf, the new recruit, had a room across from mine. She was about 5'6" and had long, dark hair. I'm not too sure where she came from though, since she never seemed to know where we are geographically. It really makes me wonder if she comes from another continent entirely, but that can't be true, since all of the other continents are underwater because of the Great Flood. I decided to wonder about it later and go wake up the rookie.

Azelf's PoV

I was dreaming peacefully of battles and grandeur, when suddenly my horse went crazy, and shook me violently. I opened my eyes to see that it wasn't my horse that shook me; it was an angry looking boy, about my age.

"Azelf! If you're going to volunteer to go one the dawn patrol, wake up and get ready for it!" He yelled. He had completely lifted me off the ground and shook me by the collar of my nightshirt. "Dammit, Azelf wake up before I have to pour water on you!"

"Owowowowowowowow! That hurts! You're going to break my neck! Ow! Stop pinching me! No! Don't dro-," I yelled in protest, and he dropped me on the cold stone floor. I looked up to get a better look at my assaulter. He was about 6'5" and had sky blue short, spiky hair, and deep sapphire eyes. I thought to myself, "He would be awfully cute if he wasn't scowling at me."

"Azelf, you need to wake up! It's already 5:30!"

"Who are you again? You look awfully familiar…" I said, still half asleep.

"Really, Azelf? My name is Geoffrey! I met you yesterday! You said that you would come on the dawn patrol today so that you could learn the procedure of the Crimean Royal Knights!" He was REALLY pissed off now.

"Alright, I'm up, don't burst a blood vessel." I said, making my way to the door.

I started towards the door when he started snickering. "Azelf, you're not (heehee) going to (haha) try and go on patrol to fight bandits in your nightgown are you?" He asked, bursting into laughter in the process.

"How humiliating," I thought.

A larger man in black armor and green hair came to the door. "Geoffrey? I hope you're not torturing the recruit in there!" He said menacingly.
