The 1000th Squad

Draco followed the Squad Captain through the entrance of their barracks and was met with a surprisingly organized room with well constructed wooden bunk beds. Within the room were exactly nine creatures, who all focused their attention on Draco when the duo entered. 

The Squad Captain clapped to get everyone's attention as she smiled at the group. "Alright squad, some good news. We have been allocated a new squad member for the upcoming skirmish against those blasted elves." 

The fellow reached out a hand and patted Draco on the shoulder with appreciation. "This is Unranked Warrior Draco, and he will be fighting alongside us henceforth. Introduce yourselves!" 

Silence. 

There was a palpable silence in the room as everyone glanced at Draco… then looked away and resumed doing what they were doing before. 

"Oh?" Draco muttered as his eyes lit up, finding the situation interesting.
