Still here? So Hold on and Enjoy it!
The battlefield stinks. Burnt, dirt and unimaginable kinds of trash. But believe me, worse than that is the smell of ogres. And they are horrible, but more intelligent than many useless soldiers around here. To fight with one of them already is a difficult task, to fight more than one is almost impossible.
Soldiers are always schedule in threes, and we can never let one back. We even fight more and I have to say, many of the boys who were with me ended up dead. Most of the time I return alone, or carrying one of them supported on me. The General has called me several times in the improvised tent in the middle of the camp. He questioned me about why I came back alone, or why be protecting the boys who get back with me. I would never leave a man of my kingdom die, but them training was very bad. And I was not any hero to be protecting everyone. I had my own skin to take care of. And today, of course, like the other two boys who were with me were fallen in battle, I had to be accountable about them.
"You're here for tree years. What is the secret to survive for so long?" The man asked me. Two months ago he saw me in battle, soon after a group of ogres tried to pick up our camp. He knows that I fight, and know my abilities. "There are no secrets, Sir. Just fight like it's my last day. But I have reason to want to return to my home" I supported my hand on my sword to make some point about my opinion. The man walked toward me, his white hair contrasted with some dark brown wires. Green eyes told me he was tired of war. He fell into a chair, not caring about the weight of black armor on the shoulders. The silver gray cloak was starting to get worn out, but I knew he would not change it. "The Commander of your troops died this afternoon. I will be direct and say I want you to take his post." The words took me by surprise, and I will not deny that I do not want any kind of promotion. It's the kind of thing that will leave me stuck here until the end of the war, or even my death. But I could not say no. I bowed in reverence to my superior "I'd be happy to take his troops. But I have only one request to make" the man looked at me, waiting for my words. "I want three days with the new kids in order to give them a decent training" I struggled to keep my eyes on the floor. "You say my men do not train the boys well enough?" he got up coming my way. I knew this would be a bad to say. "With all due respect Sir, all the boys are dying. And our army is in one of the most violent places of war." The General turned and walked toward the table in the center of the tent. "You will have your days, Commander. But you need to get your new soldiers. I'm sure that the villages already have new kids with enough age to serve the Royal Army. Just do not forget to take them to the castle to be listed before coming to the lines" He signed and sealed a new letter and rose it to give to me. "I hope your troops reflects your skills..." There was truth in his eyes, and he count with me.
"I'm sure she will bring us victory, General." The voice behind me made me turn sharply, as the first time. The Queen. Still wearing black, but not with the dress. Wearing a pair of black boots, a leather pants and a classic riding coat she approached me. I lowered my face in reverence to my Queen, but as before, she forced me to look to her brown eyes. "I'll wait for you in my castle with new soldiers, Commander" I could not believe the emotions swirling in her eyes. Anyway, the Queen should not share these feelings with another woman. The council would target her with the charges. I stepped back, and out of her reach. "If you give me license Majesty, I must go to my troops..." she smiled victoriously, and planned to take a step toward me again, but hesitated. Her eyes came to the figure behind me. "Certainly, and I still need to talk to my General about the war plans."
Out of the tent as well as I could. I tried to clear all thoughts in my mind. It's not like the Queen played the same game as me. Go to the town would be nice. Maybe I can find some company there.
A/N: Still here? So give me a review mate!
