I saw two people walking up to our camp , and of course the last two people to show up just had to be my best friends . Good thing I showed up pretty early , or our group would look bad . They arrived about 20 minutes before sun down . At least they weren’t late though , I relaxed a little . Seems to me that I woke them up at the right time . They seemed well rested and ready to go . Instinctively when they first came they started walking towards me but I pointed them in the direction of the check in guard .

After checking in they went and introduced themselves to everyone . They greeted Visceroy and then came over to where I was . I greeted them as they walked towards me . “ There’s the slow pokes of the group !” John laughed and said . “ Oh that’s funny , Bulls Eye what do you say we jump him and take his fancy new drill ! “ . We all laughed and started play fighting like teenagers . Even in play fighting 2 is just too much to handle so I surrendered and started to talk to them seriously .

“ How did your training go for you two ? John flexed his muscles and Bulls started to reply to me . “ We had a good training session . Thanks for bringing John to me . As of now he’s a much tougher training partner than you . Don’t get me wrong though friend , in a fight to the death I think you’re the most dangerous of all . You’re too fucking smart .” We all started to laugh , I wasn’t so sure that I could kill these two if I wanted to . I was just grateful to hear that , whether he believes it or not he knows that saying it would make me feel good . He’s also confident in his abilities so much that he never cared about complimenting someone else’s . With me I just really don’t know . With Bulls Eye he’ll pump you up even if he feels he can win .

“ Attention “, the check in guard shouted . After everyone gathered around the guard he gave the platform up for Draco to speak . As he was the official leader for the mission . Draco let out a small cough before speaking in a loud and clear way . “ First of all I want to say thank you for coming , I know that half of you already lost to the attacker and I want to say don’t be ashamed . I’ve fought this guy before and we fought to a stand still before . He might’ve actually been looking for me and that’s the main reason I’m leading this attack . I’ve gotten much stronger since then , so I believe we’ll take them down . We had scouts that tracked him to his village after the attack and our intel thinks that he may be the leader . The chief figures that if we can beat him down into submission we can have him surrender to our demands . The actual demands will be confidential depending on village status . One of the guards here has the power to give us all night vision . Since we suffered a surprise attack we will not be fighting fair . I know we like to carry ourselves to a higher moral standard in Greencrest , but we may be at war .
