Recognition

Ian Pov:

The Graduation Ceremony was coming off the hinges, many people were merry making, the sound of laughter and music everywhere. I invited everyone in the Acropolis here too to get them to know each other more."Ian" My sister Margret pulled me over and asked me to dance with her, In Ians memories, there were always happy times in his life but they could never afford celebrations like this for they were always strapped on finances. I don't know how to dance you can see me fumbling like a chicken with its head cut off trying to dance and my whole family was laughing at me. My sister did a pout smiley face as she berate me that this is what happens when all you do is train you forget proper etiquette and they all burst out laughing on the sidelines. "Why just me I though?, look at all those other guys trying to dance then I realize it is a festival and everyone did not really care and that put a smile into my face.

"Son you have done an amazing job restoring the army" My father walked beside me, walking steady now and with injuries much healed. I felt a sense of accomplishment as a noble, a son and a gamer as he told me that. "Father" is smiled at him , it was nothing much just my duty but you aren't gonna ask me how I did it? My father shook his head, I would but something don't need to be asked "I know we serve the Drakks but we also must take care of ourselves" He implied as we stood there both talking my mother grabbed my father and urge him to dance. He tried to refuse but was dragged by my mother anyways and then my sister yelled that it would be her turn next and the look of dist-grunt in my father face made me laugh, better him than me I though.

Elise Pov:

I have never laughed so much before, this feeling was great feeling. Some of the people were actually crying here and there knowing that their hard work has paid off plus they manage to get a bonus. The losing team except Ryani were not angry at all even if they didn't get a bonus because we were all well paid and well equipped, everything was already provided for us so all we did was save our money. " have never seen so much wine and food!" Calun yelled over the noise, "hahaha" Me neither Ryani laughed. I also have never seen so much wine and food, considering all of us were from poor villages the only time you would see something like this was selling our crop or live stock in the city.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw the young master dance with his sister, well if you can call chucking left and right and looking uncomfortable dancing, I couldn't help but giggle, such an authoritarian boss but such a lousy dancer. "Come on lets dance!" Ryani pulled me and I almost swallowed my words about the young master.

Ian Pov:

The festivities descended into the night with, my family returned to the house merry and tired and not long after I left too. On my way home I felt a chill run down my spine I decided to activate "Night Vision" and I saw groups of men Lv.3, Lv4 and with Isacc colors sneaking toward the fort where I just left. "Enemy raid!" I yelled and started to run ran back towards the camp some of the enemies stopped at looked at me. The infiltrators had a surprise look on their face when they saw me charging towards them, I threw my spear and penetrated the first two I saw and then I pulled my sword out. three rushed me and the rest rushed the camp but with all the ruckus outside the camp became semi alert. "BANG!BANG!BANG!" the fort drums started ringing and out of nowhere horseman showed up and stormed the camp. I started hacking and slashing the enemies wherever I could find them.

Elise Pov:

"ENEMY RAID!" I heard , by instinct everyone locked toward the direction of the sound. "Some one sound the alarm a captain yelled out, "Bang!Bang!Bang!" Everyone get!" ready everyone ran towards the gate where the enemy was trying to get through. I rush towards them with spear in hand. I stabbed the first one i saw and then moved back out of ranged, I swiped the ground in a circular manner tripping the attackers and one they were outbalance i started stabbing them where they were susceptible to my attacks. "Why are the Isacc here?!" I though as more and more confused "How did they get so many men?" the men started retreating and forming their own line and us too then suddenly a figure behind the enemy emerge "Gugh" they turned around and I realize it was "Master Ian" He was so fats in the dark I could barely make out where he was "Like a rain in the night I though", "Charge someone yelled!" and It brough me back to reality and I charge with them. As some of us charge the captain were issuing bows and crossbows at the back "To the rear and form a line"I heard him say where more enemies showed up the sergeants were organizing the rest.

Ian Pov:

The rest of the enemies ran past me towards the fort, as I finished those who have stayed there was a massive ruckus going on inside the fort I prayed that they were not caught of guard. As I got closer I saw a stalemate between two people mine and theirs. I ran as fast as I could the first man i slashed him then I moved to the opposite side whey were not expecting me, I pushed one, stabbed one on the toes , i kicked one and I slashed again to keep them guessing and since I could see in the dark it was easier for me. Then my soldiers smashed at their front racks decimating them our massacre began.

Sometime later we the enemies bodies started piling the ones that were left committed suicide. We only suffered only some minor injuries but there were dozens of dead Isacc or so they though but for me, "This were not Isacc I though, their level were to high". That night I saw my army fight with ferocity and I though this was our first baptism and we all survive. I instructed them to bury the dead , collect the weapons and valuable and split it among them unless they find something that will give us a clue who these men are.

I returned to the acropolis and the gates were tightly sealed and the walls guarded, "who goes there" a man called and I recognize it. It's me uncle, there was an attack. He came opened the gates and explained to me they didn't know who or what was going on so he decided to seal the acropolis and I though that was understandable, I also explained what happened to him but just the minor things.

Donn Drakk pov:

Everyone that I sent died, no survivors my daughter Dona angrily explained to me. "It seems that our deeds has bough a tiger down from the mountains lets not do anything for it to get a scent of blood now." I looked at my daughter and she nodded at me. "We cannot do anything for awhile and will have lay low I though, such a perfect opportunity gone to waste". My daughter also agreed to that. "Knock, knock" It's open we both replied "It was a message from your sons urgent news sir" he handed me a piece of paper with our symbol on it and as I read the report I became furious, "GATHER THE ARMY AT ONCE!" . "father?" my daughter looked at me "what happened , why are you so angry?" . I did not even hear hear for I was shivering from anger and I stuttered "Your brothers have been taken prisoners".
