Untold Truths

He couldn't believe he had made it this far, It was his first day amongst the Krimzon guards. Erol eyed the rest of the new recruits they were all lined up and waiting for the arrival of their new commander. A man rumoured to be so frighting that no one has even glanced at him in the wrong way, a man that has such ruthless punishments that you could barely pull through it alive, but Erol was not one to believe in stupid rumours as such. There was even a rumour going around about himself something about him being bloodlust and crazy all because he had gotten into a fight with one of the new recruits the other day a man nearly two times his size and Erol still beat the shit out of him.

So that is why Erol chose not to believe in these rumours about their commander but his opinion changed when a man walked in with a metal plate on his shoulder that had 'COMMANDER' spelt across it and a scowl on his face that looked like it had been there his whole life!

"Listen up!" The commanders raspy voice bellowed out in the room Erol swore he could hear his ears ringing "I am commander Torn and I have some news for all you firsthand soldiers" He paused for a second and glared at his recruits to see if any dare to step out of line or talk back but none did so he continued "Before you can serve us you must go for a physical examination now follow me".

They followed their new commander down a long hallway in the palace. Erol couldn't help but get a light and sickly feeling in his gut as the stopped at the end of the hallway at the front of two large steel doors where scream could be heard beyond. Erol couldn't deny he actually felt a twinge of fear at that moment.

"What kind of physical is this?" Erol glared at the taller man but did not succeed in intimidating him.

"Well you'll see soon enough" Torn looked up at the doors to see that the guy was gonna be next and by the precursors he felt bad for having to drag them through this shit. The whole 'physical examination' thing was a cover up by Baron Praxis for what Torn looked at as branding his soldiers so they would never forget what they were and who they belonged to.

Erol heard one last scream before the metal doors opened again waiting for him to make his way in, as he walked in the room the metal doors slammed behind him Erol looked back to see a doctor locking them "Please take a seat" he gestured to the metal table Erol did as asked and made his way to the metal table, "hsss" Erol hissed a little as his hands came into contact with the cold table top "Ok I am going to need you to lay down" as Erol did he noticed a nurse walk into the room and begin to bind his arms with leather straps "What the fuck! What are you doing let go!" Erol swung at the nurse only to have his arm grabbed by the doctor and slammed into the metal table "argh" a surge of pain ran through his arm "I guess were gonna have to do this the hard way" Erol's vision began to get hazy he took a quick glimpse to the side to see he had just been injected.

The next thing Erol could remember was waking to a blur of bright lights and strangely the surface below him wasn't hard and cold anymore it was actually soft and warm. When his eyes final adjust Erol notices that he was now in the infirmary and not only him but a few of the other new recruits as well 'they must be the other ones that were also drugged before the physical...wait the physical what the fuck did they even do' Erol thought as he jumped out of the bed and began to make his way towards the exit.

"Sir you shouldn't leave yet we still need to make sure your alright" a nurse jumped out in front of him blocking his way to the exit "Im fine now get out of my way!" A few more nurses tried to make him go back to bed but there was no way in hell he was staying here another minute he just wanted to get home so he could deal with the shit they already put him through today.

Erol was just about the leave when he saw it...his reflection it the glass window on the infirmary door...his now tattooed face. They had drugged him and fucking tattooed his face! And they hadn't even given any warning for this they just went fucking ahead with this marking his body without his permission at that thought something had just snapped inside of Erol. He stormed out of the room and down the hallway he was beyond furious.

Erol had decided he was going to have a few "words" with his new commander. Erol slammed down his commanders door catching as he looked up from his desk with a shocked look "What the fuck is this!" Erol yelled in such a furious tone you could hear how much he wanted to hurt someone at that moment specifically his commander.

Torn's shocked expression then faded into a more stern one as he replied "It's a requirement" and that just made Erol's blood boil "What do you mean a requirement!" this time slamming his hands down on Torn's desk. Torn just looked up into Erol's eyes "By order of Baron Praxis you must be tattooed on your face and ears...it's a requirement to become a Krimzon guard" Torn watched Erol's expression worsen even tho he didn't think it was possible "So you just go around marking peoples bodies without even telling them or even considering what they want" Ok now that pissed Torn off it's not like he wanted this "What do you think I could do huh?" Torn's voice was in a very threatening tone but Erol didn't give a shit "Well you know what a fucking heads-up might have been nice" This left Torn speechless Erol was right he could have at least given some sort of warning...but he didn't and this only made him feel worse.

'The kid in front of me only looks eighteen and his already been branded by Praxis' Torn thought as he stared at Erol's small figure. Erol just folded his arms as awkward silence seeped into the room and only more awkward with his commander staring at him "Ok I gonna leave now" Erol had to speak up cause he couldn't take a moment more of that awkwardness "huh!...oh ok then well I expect to see you tomorrow by 5:00am" Torn stated down the order "Wait that's an hour earlier then were meant to arrive...what's going on?" Erol looked back at Torn to catch a smirk "We have our first mission tomorrow straight from Baron Praxis himself".
