"What do you think is going on?" Eli asked as teachers were scrambling around the academy halls. Classes had been canceled earlier that day, and the students were asked to remain in their respective living areas.
"Do you remember what I was telling you about there being an attack from the Trostan Kingdom, and how Ethan was actually a spy here?" Alaric asked.
Eli laughed nervously, "oh, yeah." He was fidgeting with his hands. Alaric tried to reassure him, "relax man. We're year two students, do you really think they're going to make us go to war?"
Eli looked off to the side, "they could you know. We've been at peace since I've been born, and I don't want to fight. I really wanted to be an officer, so my family's status will be raised."
Alaric leaned forward, "well, we are officers in training, and ever since we entered the academy, they could make us go to war."
Eli shook his head, "we just turned 13! I doubt they'll make us do anything."
