They both walked down the ramp and moved towards one of the smaller buildings that surrounded the big one. The building was dull and grey, like most of the buildings here. They went inside and were greeted by soldiers, papers, maps, and voices. There were a few soldiers surrounding a table, they looked at Azaria when she entered the building. They didn't give a welcoming expression on their faces.
"A new recruit?" said the red hair woman at the opposite side of Azaria, feeling some anger in her voice.
"Feeling jealous about having another girl?" Said one of the men.
"No. . ." she said again, still with a bit of anger in her voice. Azaria looked at her and felt unwelcomed. She couldn't really see the red head girl's face since the room was poorly lit, and her hair created shadows that hid her face even more, but she could see her eyes, the eyes were looking directly at Azaria.
"Calm down everyone" the Governor said "this is our newest recruit, Azaria. She is also a daeva."
"If she's a daeva, where the hell are her wings" said one of the other men. Azaria didn't know the answer to that question and remained silent.
"It's obvious that she hasn't ascended yet. She will, and we'll make sure she gets the proper ceremony for both ascension and enlistment. Starting tomorrow you all will teach her and get her fitted in." Each of the soldiers saluted. Azaria was nervous and anxious, she never thought she'd join the army, but here she is now. All she needs is the proper training and she'll be good to go. "Mike will fit her armor, Ghost will teach survival, Fox will teach archery, and Kane will give her a bed and teach her how to fight." The Governor then saluted and walked out. Everyone lowered their hands and started walking out too. Kane was the last one to go out.
"Lets get you a bed." Azaria nodded and followed him to one of the other buildings. Inside were three rows of beds with about 16 on each of the side rows and 32 in the middle. Kane walked towards the back down the right isle and Azaria followed behind him. There were men and women already sleeping in each of the beds they passed. They stopped by an empty bed on the right. "Okay this is your bed, we'll begin training in the morning. Good night." He walked away.
"Thanks." She laid on top of the bed and looked at the ceiling. She noticed that the red hair girl walked by her and laid in the bed next to her. Azaria felt even more uncomfortable now. Azaria glanced at her for a second, and she glanced back. Azaria turned over, trying not to look at her for the rest of the night.
"Where are you from?" She asked, seeming a little bit more welcoming to Azaria.
"Elten."
"I have a few friends from there."
"Me too" their conversation died down and they both started to sleep.
