Chapter 2
Jaden Korr went on to Graduate following his success in his combat trials,even a dejected Dzhura managed to finish his training,despite the bruised ego after his lesson that brute force will often be bested by tactics. As Jaden Korr Stood tall in his high collared uniform,befitting a prince of a ruling house,,as he received his graduation award,a hand crafted and engraved Tjúr blade. Each student was being presented with a ceremonial version of their favoured weapon,the greater the craftsmanship the higher the student had ranked in the class. Jaden's weapon glistened,its surface etched with precious metals and set with sparkling emeralds and amethysts. The black platinum blades reflected every aspect of the room around them as Jaden received the flawless masterpiece. From the small crowd bearing witness a pair of diamond blue eyes struggled to shift her gaze from the tall Laicaryn youth,a passionate fire stirring in her heart.
The weeks following Jaden's graduation seemed to be little more than a blur as he took respite to consider his options. Military Intelligence would have suited his tactical mind,but would deny him the joy of combat,surely a waste of his talents. By the same token,enlisting in the Infantry would squander his tactical brilliance. After much deliberation,a trial with the Lúrac squadron,the Laicaryn special forces,was arranged. His training records showed him to be adept at close combat and battlefield tactics,but firepower was something the young prince had no true experience of. A Brejik rifle was issued to him along with orders to report to the unit's personal firing range that afternoon. An intensive course in ranged combat followed,violent green streaks flashing to wards targets with increasing accuracy until the vast majority of his shots were slamming into targets,even those which were moving at high speeds.
Months of service to his world turned into years,as interstellar pirates tried to raid off world Laicaryn assets,only to find themselves facing the Lúrac,inevitably being eliminated or captured with minimal casualties among either the targets or the Lúcar themselves.With each passing mission, recommendations for promotion were filed bearing Jaden's name until eventually they were granted. Jaden Korr eventually found himself in command of the Lúcar when a pirate ambush caught the Lúcar as they were escorting a refugee convoy to safety and killed the captain as he fought to defend the last remaining civilians. As the senior surviving officer,Jaden was granted command.
As years passed,Jaden grew to greater levels of prominence and gained higher positions in the military until he was informed of a young recruit who showed incredible promise but would benefit more from a mentor than from the academy teachers. Jaden offered to keep an eye on this young warrior,Balthamos until he attained a high enough rank which would grant him the privilege of training an apprentice. After witnessing a sparring match between Balthamos and a fellow pupil,Jaden Korr was convinced of the young one's potential.
As he left the academy,diamond blue eyes gazed upon him from afar once more,only this time the lavender eyed warrior returned the gaze with the quickest of glances,catching sight of the radiant beauty of Tinuviel...
