4 The Military

While Ezekiel was following behind the man he introduced himself as General Dwight the man in charge of the military for city ,North Pioneer, the city he has been living in for the past 5 years. Eventually General Dwight led Ezekiel out of the city walls. This was the first time Ezekiel has left the city and the scenery outside surprised Ezekiel. The lands outside the city was covered by a blanket of white snow. There were white mountains in the distance. But the area around the city was purely flat. Some species of birds were flying above the city scavenging for small prey. The general continued walking towards north upon exiting the city gates. After tailing the general for more than 10 minutes some structured could be observed in the distance surrounded by the snow. Upon getting closer Ezekiel realized the place was not just any structure but a large military base. Filled with multiple fields built to train the cities troops and shelters for them to live in. There were also other monuments which uses were currently unknown to Ezekiel. Upon seeing the general heading towards the guards position. All the soldiers that were protecting the camp saluted towards General Dwight. The gates were lowered and Ezekiel stepped ventured into the camp. General Dwight brought Ezekiel to the control center of the camp and brought him to the what appears to be the receptionist of the center.

General Dwight announced, "I found some talent today at the shopping center back at the city. Sign this kid up for regiment 37."

The receptionist immediately started typing stuff down on a purple crystal ball in front of her. At the same time General Dwight left the building.

"What's your name?" asked the receptionist.

"My name is Ezekiel" responded Ezekiel.

"How old are you?" The receptionist asked

"I don't know madam" replied Ezekiel in an awkward manner.

"An orphan I see" The receptionist suddenly said and typed more words onto the crystal ball.

"Follow me" the receptionist said as she stood up.

The receptionist brought Ezekiel to the storage room and handed him a set of white military clothing and a dog tag with a serial code on it. "Make sure to always wear that dog tag on yours" said the receptionist. As she led him outside of the control center and into the multiple fields within the camp. At camp 37 the receptionist suddenly stopped and entered a tent which was around 8 meters long and 8 meters wide. The smell within the camp was horrific. It smelled like dirty stockings which which haven't been cleaned in months. Ezekiel found it hard to breath within the tent and the receptionist was squeezing her nose to avoid the smell. There were other people within the tent with one around 1.9 meters tall immediately approached the receptionist. The receptionist filled the man in on what was going on before quickly escaping the sour smell of the tent. When the receptionist left the man turned his gaze towards Ezekiel. Having a better look at the man's face he observed that there was sword wound from the top left on the man's head to the bottom right. He was also buff but not as buff as General Edward. The man suddenly shouted, "We got fresh blood boys!" All of a sudden many figures began emerging from the darkness and grouped up around Ezekiel. In regiment 37 there were a total of 12 people including Ezekiel now. The leader of the regiment was the person who the receptionist talked to, his name is Scarface due to the scar stretched across his face. The rest of the regiment were just assigned number so that Scarface wouldn't have to remember the names of everyone, plus not everyone in the regiment had a name to began with. With Ezekiel's arrival he was awarded the name of eleven by Scarface. Scarface assigned Three to explain to Ezekiel on what was going on. Ezekiel learned that regiment 37 was was the smallest squad within the entire military. The North Pioneer had a total of 59 regiments. Regiment 37 was known to have the most unique set of troops. For example, their captain, Scarface, had a small trace of Ancient Bear bloodline giving him his robust body and unparalleled strength in the military. There were rumors that Scarface once beat General Dwight in a round of arm wrestling. Besides the captain the members of regiment 37 all had their own unique abilities too. General Dwight had recognized Ezekiel's faster than normal reaction speed through secretly observing him steal food from the shadows. Three was recommended to join regiment 37 for his intelligence that completely outsrips his peers giving him the potential to become a really good general if he was trained well. Ezekiel still did not know the talents of the other 9 members but that could wait. Ezekiel changed into his military uniform and was instructed by Scarface to go outside for training.
