Chapter 13: Long Haul

I woke up, as I was glad to see that I was in a normal place, and that I did not seem to be in a dream, like it seemed to be that I was a lot of the nights. I sighed just a bit to my self, as I also knew that it was besides the point at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to get my eyes quite a bit of some focus as to just what it was that was even going on in the very first place any ways, as I noticed that it was quite a bit dark around me right at this very moment in time, which did in fact have me a little bit confused, as I lifted my head up, as I heard quite a bit of some ruckus, as well as a lot of commotion going on around camp at this very moment in time too, which did in fact have me feeling quite a bit confused.

I lifted my my head up a bit, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was going on in the middle of the night, around the camp that I had been living at for quite a bit of some time, all at the exact same time as well. I sighed just a bit to my self, as I looked around me for just a few moments, as I then all of the sudden noticed that there was no one with me in the tent right now, which did in fact leave me a little bit confused, due to the fact that I had all of the sudden noticed that they did not have their stuff left with them, at the exact same time too. It then all of the sudden hit me, all at the exact same time as well, as to just what it was that had even been said to all of us, not just me, just the day before.

It all of the sudden began to scare me, as it felt like all of my fears were coming to life, as to the fact that it seemed like every one was leaving me, none the less. I began to get my self out of my bed, all at the exact same time as well, as I still heard a bit of some noise going on around camp, which might signify that they had not left yet, and that it was not too late for me either. I quickly reached over to where all my stuff was at, as I then began to pack it in a very big bag that they had made for us at the exact same time as well, as the small bag that I had brought a bunch of clothes with, was clearly not enough for all of the stuff that I would bring back home with me after we were done with the army for a little while.

I began to move around like crazy, as I was in quite a bit of a rush, as I did not want to be left behind, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that I did in fact want to go to the army, and that I was not taking this as some kind of joke. I had been a little bit worried as to the fact that I was going to be left behind at the exact same time as well, and it now seemed to all be coming back to me, as to the fact that in the end, they might have actually decided that they did not want a big strong orc with them in the army, as it seemed like they might be worried that I would turn on them, which I felt like was not the case at all, as I would not go and attack humans that had given my a place to live my entire life, no matter what the case was.

If they had in fact lied to me as to the way that orcs were, which I felt like they were not, due to the fact that I felt like I was kind of the way that they had told me they were like, than I would simply just walk away from them, and I would be sad, and I would be in pain, as to the fact that I was lied to. At the exact same time too how ever, I knew that it was not the case at all, as I then all of the sudden began to breath in quite a bit heavily, as to the fact that I knew that I needed to hurry up and get ready, as I had in fact heard that we would be getting up very early in the morning, and it was in fact very early in the morning at the exact same time as well, as I was beginning to realize none the less.

I sigh just a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden realized that all of my stuff was packed, and that I was good, and that I was just fine. I nodded just a bit to my self, all at once, as I then all of the sudden turned my head over to the front of the tent, only to see that my good friend Eldon was staring at me with a little bit of a shocked look on his face right now. I was not all too sure as to just what it was that he would be surprised about right now how ever, if I was going to be completely honest with my self, as I tilted my head a little bit to my self, trying my best to not get all too upset as to the fact that it had seemed like they were in fact about to leave me behind.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I knew that I could not assume some thing such as that just yet, as it was clear that the camp and the legion had not left just yet either. I sighed a bit of a soft sigh to my self, as I did my best to not have my focus on any of that right at this very moment in time, as I still was in fact a little bit lost still, as to just why it was that Eldon had a bit of a shocked look on his face right at this very moment in time any ways. I stared at him for a few moments, as I felt like it could be one of many reasons as to why that was the case, as he knew that I loved to sleep in a lot, and I did in fact sleep a lot never the less. I shook off all of those thoughts all at once how ever, as I then all of the sudden saw Eldon nod to me.

I looked at him with quite a blank look on my face, as I felt like I should not show any sort of emotion right at this very moment in time as well, as I just stared at him right in to his eyes, as I then began to notice that his initial look of shock all of the sudden had seemed to go away from his face, as it now seemed to be a lot more of a normal look, which calmed me down just a bit, as I then began to breath in just a little bit, trying to calm my nerves down just a tad bit, as I then after a little bit more time seemed to pass along, did in fact nod back to him, to let him know that he had my full attention on him. I could tell that it did in fact, none the less, make him feel a little bit more safe, as after just a little bit longer, he began to speak to me, and I began to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to save to me in the very first place any ways.

"Well shit... You got up at the perfect time didn't you? Ashton wanted me to come wake you up... We are about to leave the camp, and we have to get the tent taken down first..." He said to me, as I was still not sure if he was telling me the full truth, as I was still a little bit worried as to the fact that they had been going on with the full intent that they were going to be leaving me behind, at the exact same time as well, which I did my best to try to not think too hard on that never the less, as I knew that my friends would not ever do as such a thing to me. Besides, I had already signed up for the army, and I knew that the bank had already got my first paycheck, which of course was the same as every one else, starting off, as Tanner had told me.

I was glad for that, as I shook off all of the stupid thoughts that I had been having none the less, all at once, as I then got my focus on just what it was that was even going on at this very moment in time any ways, which of course was the fact that Eldon had come in to the tent to find out that I was already awake, as he had come in to try to wake me up, and tell me the news, as to just what it was that was going on around the camp right now, which of course, I had known was coming, due to the fact that Callan had told us that we needed to wake up early in the morning, as we needed to be ready to go, as we were going to head off in a little bit of a journey out to where ever it was that we were going to go meet up with the other legions at.

I sighed just a bit to my self all at the exact same time as well, as I was a little bit worried as to the fact that they too would treat me the way that the entire legion that I was in had treated me at first, as at the exact same time as well, I was a little bit worried as to the fact that they might run at me, and they might try to kill me. They were a lot better trained than I was, so I felt like they might in fact do a very good job at that as well, which had me shivering a little bit, as I was quite a bit scared at the exact same time as well. I did my best to try to shake off all of those thoughts from my head, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that the legions were from the same city as I was, so for all that I knew, they might know who it was that I was in the very first place any ways.

I sighed just a little bit to my self once again, as I got my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden got my focus back on to the present, as I saw that my good friend, Eldon, was staring at me right in to my eyes right now, as I saw that he had a bit of a blank look on his face, due to the fact that he was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on with me at this very moment in time any ways, which I kind of felt like I could not blame him for, due to the fact that I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I was even doing my self right now. I gulped just a bit to my self, as I then all of the sudden began to get my focus on just what it was that he had just said to me in the very first place any ways.

I was in fact a little bit lost as to just what it was that he had even said, due to the fact that I was so fast to forget every thing that it felt like I had been told a lot of the time. I let out quite a bit of a soft sigh to my self how ever, as I then got my focus back on to just what it was that was even going all of the sudden, as it hit me all at once, as to the fact that the legion was about to leave the camp that we had been staying at for quite a bit of some time now, none the less. I began to breath in quite a bit to my self, as I was a little bit disappointed with what it was that was going on, if I was not going to lie to my self, as I had started to grow quite a bit fond of this place for some odd reason or another, even though I knew it was just some land that was out side of the city.

I rolled my eyes just a bit to my self, as I then nodded to Eldon, to let him know that I was ready to go ahead and leave the camp with every one else, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden saw a bit of a smile seem to crack up on my friends face, all at the exact same time as well, as he saw that another friend, which happened to be me in this case, was in fact ready to go, and that I was in this with him, all at the exact same time as well. I knew that it was happy for him to see me acting this way never the less, as me and Eldon had been friends before it was that I had even met Ashton. Eldon was the reason that I had met Ashton how ever, and we had bonded in quite a bit of a personal level from the beginning, a the exact same time as well.

I shook off all of those thoughts all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that Eldon was still staring at me for some odd reason or another, as to the fact that I still had not come out of the tent to join out with the rest of the legion out side. I was not all too sure as to just why it was that I had not done as such a thing my self, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I felt like I was being a little bit of an idiot right now. It was just like it was that I had been told that all orcs were, which was of course the fact that we were all 'stupid and dumb'. I some times felt like that might be true at the exact same time as well, even if my friends said that it was not the case, due to the fact that some of the decisions that I made, were in fact quite a bit stupid, as I did stuff on the fly most of the time, which might not be the best idea.

I sighed just a bit to my self all at once how ever, as I once again got my focus off of that how ever, all at once, as I then looked at Eldon right in to his eyes, as I could still tell that he was a bit lost as to just what it was that I was even doing right now, which I felt like I could not blame him for at all either, as I would in fact be a little bit lost if I saw the way that I was acting right now as well, if I was going to be completely honest with my self, as I rolled my eyes a bit to my self all of the sudden, as I then nodded to Eldon, all at the exact same time as well, to let him know for a fact, that I had in fact heard as to just what it was that he had even said to me on the very first place any ways.

Eldon still did not look to be all too certain that I had in fact realized as to just what it was that was going on right now, which I did not blame him for either, as I knew that he knew just as well as I did, that I was a bit lost as to just what it was that was even going on around me a lot of the time. Eldon let out quite a heavy sigh all of the sudden how ever, as in the end, he did in fact nod back to me all at once, to let me know that he was at the very least, paying attention as to just what it was that I had to say to him in the very first place any ways. Seeing him do as such a thing none the less, did in fact make me feel quite a bit better, as I then began to breath in a little bit to my self, all at once, as I then got my focus on just what it was that I had been about to say, as I then began to speak to him all at once, now that I knew that he was in fact paying attention as to just what it was that I had to say to him in the very first place any ways.

"Alright... Sorry, still just a little bit tired... I am ready, so let's get this show on the road..." I said to him, as I then all of the sudden saw a bit of a big smile crack up on his face, all at the exact same time as well, as to just what it was that I had said to him in the very first place any ways, as I saw him nod to me, all at the exact same time as well. I let out a bit of a soft and a little bit of a relieved sigh to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I was not going to lie to my self either, I did in fact feel a little bit guilty as to just what it was that I had even said to him in the very first place any ways, if I was not going to lie to my self. I knew that I had been lying just a bit, as to the fact that I had told him that I was a little bit tired, and I was a bit worn out still.

That was not the case at all how ever, as I just seemed to have my mind in a little bit of a different place at this very moment in time, which felt like it was not some thing that I could really explain to him right at this very moment in time either, as I sighed just a bit to my self, all at once, as I did my best to try to get my focus on some thing altogether completely different than all of this right at this very moment in time, as I began to look around me for just a bit of some time, looking around at things in hope that it might get my mind off of the strange thoughts that I had been having before all of this at the exact same time as well. I blinked my eyes a few times, as I felt like the best way to get my mind off of all of this how ever, was to simply go and do what it was that I had even come to do in the very first place any ways, which was of course the fact that I was going to go out side and join up with the rest of the legion that was out there right now.

I knew that I could not lie to my good friend Eldon, though I still felt a little bit guilty as to the fact that I had lied a bit to him, not all too long ago, but at the exact same time as well, I did not feel all that guilty for it how ever, due to the fact that I felt like I did not have much of a choice, but to do as such a thing, due to the fact that I knew that he was right, and that we needed to go ahead and get ready to pack up the tent, and go on this trek that we were about to be on for the next week or so. I blinked my eyes a few times, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do, rather than to just have my focus on that right now, as I then all of the sudden began to head over to the front of the tent, all at the exact same time as well, as I then walked past the opening.

It was a little bit brighter than I had expected it to be, but it was not all that bad, if I was not going to lie to my self, as I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I let the sun that was right on the edge of the horizon at this very moment in time, blast a little bit of heat on me, due to the fact that it did in fact feel quite a bit chilly out side right now, if I was not going to lie to my self once again. I stood there for just a little bit of some time, until I then all of the sudden blinked my eyes a few times, as I saw a few people staring at me right now, which had me a little bit lost for some odd reason or another, even though I knew that it was some thing that I was always used to at this point in my life, never the less.

I turned my head over to the people that were staring at me right now, as I looked at them right in to their eyes, trying to scare them off, which I usually did a good job of doing at the exact same time as well, due to the fact that I knew that most people did not like it when they saw that an orc was staring them down. As I looked at them for just a few moments, I then blinked my eyes a few times my self, as I felt like a little bit of an idiot as to just what it was that I was even doing right at this very moment in time, if I was going to be completely honest with my self, as I then began to realize that it was my friends, and it was the people that I shared a tent with, all at the exact same time as well, as I began to let out a bit of a soft sigh of relief all of the sudden, as I saw that Ashton was for some reason right now, staring at me with his eyes squinted.

I was a little bit lost as to just why it was that it might be the case in the very first place any ways, as I then began to walk over to them all at once, as I kept my eyes on Rufus at the exact same time as well, from the corner of my eye, to see if he was going to move back a little bit, as it was clear that he was scared, such as he always was, as I began to breath in quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden got my focus back on to the thoughts that I remembered all of the sudden, as to just why it was that they were even looking at me the way that they were in the very first place, at the exact same time as well, any ways. As I then all of the sudden began to remember, all at once, as to the fact that we were going to go and pack up the tent.

I blinked my eyes just a few times, for not the first time in the last few moments, as I felt like once again, that I was an idiot for not realizing as to just what it was that was going on right at this very moment in time any ways, as I then shook off all of those thoughts from my head, all at the exact same time as well, as I then nodded to Ashton all of the sudden, as I knew that he was kind of the leader of this group. Not just the fact that he was the leader of this group, but he had always kind of been the leader of every thing, as it seemed like he had been a leader of the old friend group that I had been in with all of my friends before I had gone to go join the army in the very first place any ways.

I shook off all of those thoughts how ever, as I knew that it was besides the point right now, as I got my focus instead on just what it was that we were here to do right now any ways, as I stared at Ashton right in to his eyes, until I then all of the sudden saw him roll his eyes at me, as if I was some kind of an idiot, which I felt like I could not blame him for, due to the fact that I felt like I was in fact an idiot a lot of the time, none the less. I rolled my eyes just a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, which I was glad that he had not seemed to notice all too much, as I felt like he might think that I was mocking him, which was not the case at all how ever, as I then let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, as I then all of the sudden saw Ashton nod back to me.

He was letting me know that he had his full attention on me right now, which clearly had not been the case for Eldon at all, back when he had been in the tent not all too long ago, as I knew that he had gone in to go and wake me up, only to see that I was already awake, luckily enough for him, and also for my friends, and the entire legion that I was in, as I was sure that they would not be all too happy with the fact that some one was making them late to where it was that they were trying to go in the very first place any ways, but not just that, but that some one happened to be me, which of course, I also happened to be an orc never the less, which never seemed to make things any easier.

I got my focus off of all of that how ever, as I was not all too sure as to just why it was that I was so lost in my head right at this very moment in time. I knew that the best way besides, any ways, to not have people judge me just based off of the fact that I was an orc, was to go ahead and do what it was that I needed to do, which of course was the fact that I knew that I needed to go on ahead and get over to the fact that we needed to take care of the tent, and we needed to take it down, so that we could bring it with us for the journey that we were about to be going on, as I knew for a fact, that I did not want to be sleeping out side, especially around this time of the year, as I knew that it was only getting colder every day.

I gulped bit to my self, as I once again felt to be a little bit stupid, all at the exact same time as well, due to the fact that I knew that I really needed to have my focus on Ashton right at this very moment in time, as I saw that he once again was staring at me with his eyes squinted, as if I was some kind of an idiot, which was a fair reason for him to be doing, as I certainly was acting like an idiot right now. I stared right back at him, with a blank look on my face, and a blank look in my eyes, as I knew that he was waiting for me to speak, as I had in fact just nodded to him not all too long ago. As I began to realize that, all at the exact same time as well, and I began to realize as to just what it was that we were doing right now, due to the fact that I could see that every one else in the camp was doing that right now, I then did in fact start to speak to him all of the sudden.

"Sorry... Let's just get this over with, and start to head off, just like Callan said we were going to." I said to him, all at the exact same time as well, as I had a bit of a blank look on my face, all at the exact same time as well, as I did not want to show any thing else to my good friend at this very moment in time either, due to the fact that I felt like a little bit of an idiot as to just what it was that I had been doing not all too long ago. I really was living up to my name, as to the fact that I was an orc, as I was starting to get quite a bit upset with my self, all at the exact same time as well, which I knew was not some thing that I should be, and I could even be doing right now, due to the fact that I knew that I needed to keep my self calm, cool, and collected right now, as I knew that it was quite a bit simple as to just what it was that we were doing right now.

I knew that we could get this done fast never the less, due to the fact that I knew that I was an orc, and I was in fact quite a bit strong never the less, as I then saw that Ashton all of the sudden nodded to both Eldon, and Rufus as well, to let them know that we needed to go ahead and start to pack up to tent, as I saw that the both of them nodded back to him, as I could tell that Rufus was still doing his best to avoid looking at me right now, as it still seemed to be that he had not gotten used to the fact that not only was I an orc, but I was a decent orc, and that I was in fact kind of like the rest of the humans that we slept in the same tent with. I felt like he needed to get used to me at some point soon, if he was in fact trying to make friends with my own friends.

I shook my head though, as I figured that I should not have my self all too worried about that at all right now, due to the fact I knew that we had to keep our focus on the fact that we were going to go and get ready for a very long walk, or perhaps a jog, which scared me even more, as I had been told by my father, that a lot of the army legions jogged a bit, to go to where it was that they needed to go a lot faster, as it really did not wear out a human, when they jogged. That was not the case at all for me how ever, as even if I knew that I had in fact slept good last night, I knew as to the fact that if I was going to be jogging a lot of this, than it meant that I was going to get worn out quite a bit easily, none the less.

I rolled my eyes a bit to my self, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I was thinking right now, as I felt like I should just get worried about that when the time came, as I then all of the sudden nodded a little bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that we were back at the tent that I had been in not all too long ago, all at the exact same time as well, as I seemed to just stare at it with a bit of a blank look on my face. I was not all too upset with the fact that we were going to be going out, and we were not going to be in the tent all too much today, due to the fact that I really did not like the tent at all, as I knew that it was nothing compared to the fact as to the bed room, and the bed that I had slept in, at the old house that I used to live at with my father none the less.

I rolled my eyes just a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden got my focus back on to just what it was that we were even doing right at this very moment in time any ways, as I saw that each one of them was going to a corner of the tent to pull out the heavy tent leg, as I then all of the sudden began to go to the empty side of the tent that no one was at right now, as I quickly, and I easily pulled out the tent leg that was stuck far in to the ground, a lot easier than my friends had done just a few moments ago. I was sure that they were a little bit jealous as to the fact that it had been so easy for me, but I knew that they should not be jealous of the fact that I was strong, as there was a lot of things that they knew was not all too great that came with it.

I rolled my eyes a bit, as all of the tent legs were now torn off of the dirt, all at the exact same time as well, as the tent then began to fall down not all too much longer after that, as I then saw that Ashton was starting to pack up the tent at the exact same time as well, as it was clear that he was going to be putting it in his bag, as he was going to be the one that was going to carry it clearly. I looked at Ashton, as if he was some kind of idiot. I knew that he did not like to treat me like an orc a lot of the time, but the fact was, that I was an orc, and I might as well use it to my advantage when I had the chance to, such as I had the chance to do as such a thing right now, as I then walked over to Ashton, all at the exact same time as well.

Ashton stopped packing up the rest of the tent, as he then all of the sudden saw me head over to him, as I could tell that for some reason, he was a little bit last as to just what it was that I was doing right now. I rolled my eyes at him, as if he was being some kind of idiot him self this time. I could tell that he was a little bit lost still, as to just what it was that I was doing, but he did not complain when I then all of the sudden began to roll up the tent my self all of the sudden, which I had actually done a decent job at rolling things up to my surprise, as it came to a lot of things, such as the fact that my father some times asked for me to take care of his laundry, which I was happy to do, which might be a bit of a surprise to come people. I was simply just glad to be of some kind of some help around the house.

I shook off all of those thoughts all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that it was besides the point once again, and I knew that it did not help me at all right now, as I shook my head all at the exact same time as well, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on with me right now. I did my best to try not to get all too worried about any of it how ever, as I then lifted the rest of the piece of the tent up, as I then began to put it in to my bag, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that Ashton had his head tilted at me none the less, as I saw that he did not have a clue for some odd reason or another, as to why it was that I had stepped in and helped him. I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self all at the exact same time as well, as I then nodded to him all at once, to let him know that I was about to speak to him all of the sudden.

He looked at me with quite a bit of blank look on his face still, as it was clear that he still did not have as to a single clue as to just what it was that was going on right now. He was a good friend to me, but I felt like he should not be so blind as to the fact that I did in fact have some strengths that we should use to our advantage. Ashton looked at me for just a little bit longer, as in the end, he did in fact nod right back over to me, to let me know that he had his attention on me, and that he was listening as to just what it was that I had to say to him in the very first place any ways. As I saw that he was doing as such a thing, I let out a bit of a relieved sigh to my self all at once, and I then began to speak up to him all of the sudden, all at the exact same time as well.

"Come on Ashton... I have some stuff that I can do... It won't bother me if I carry a big tent in my bag... It will bother you how ever..." I said to him, as I tried to get serious with him, all at the exact same time as well. Ashton continued to look at me with a bit of a blank look in his eyes, as if he was not all too sure as to the fact as to just what it was that I had even just told him, as to the fact that it would not bother me at all. I was fairly certain that he had to know as to the fact that he knew it would bother him, but it was clear that he was not all too sure as to the fact that he did not have much of a clue as to the fact that I had said that I was going to be fine.

I rolled my eyes a bit to him, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt like I should not be all too surprised by it how ever, due to the fact that I was sure that he did not have as to much of a clue as to the fact as to just what it was like to be as strong as I was. I was not going to lie to my self either, it was for certain a very good trait none the less. I knew that Ashton was very strong, and he was built good none the less, but it still was a bit different as to the fact that humans had to carry heavy objects, compared to an orc. I sighed just a bit to my self, as I got my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to notice that Ashton was no longer looking at me at all, thankfully enough none the less.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I then nodded to my self all at once, as I was glad that it was not the case any more, none the less, as I rolled my eyes a bit to my self, as I saw that Ashton had his eyes on some thing else now thankfully, as I looked at him, and I noticed that he was looking around making sure that he had every thing with him, that he needed to take with him at the exact same time as well. I felt like that was a good idea for me to be doing my self as well, as I knew that I did in fact have a bit of a tendency to leave a bunch of stuff behind, all at the exact same time as well, as I nodded just a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I was just about ready all of the sudden, to start to head off, all at the exact same time as well, as I was starting to realize, never the less.

I looked all around me one last time, just to make sure, but I began to realize, all at the exact same time as well, that I had every thing that I needed with me, packed up in my bag right now, which was good enough for me, as I then nodded to my self, not all too sure as to just what else it was that I should do right now. I sighed a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I then got my focus back to just what it was that was even going on around the camp right at this very moment in time any ways, as I blinked my eyes a few times, doing my best to get my eyes focused on all of it, as it was in fact quite a bit hard to see, due to the fact that it was still a bit dark out right now, and I did not have the best of vision around this time of day, at the exact same time as well.

I shook my head a bit, as I did my best to try to get my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, as I began to notice all at the exact same time as well, that the entire camp was done at this point, as I could see that they all were sitting at nearby tables right now, as it was clear that they were talking to one another right at this very moment in time. I looked at all of them for a little bit longer, as I then all of the sudden shook my head, doing my best to shake off all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, as I got my focus on where it was that the leaders tent, and Callan's tent were at, at this very moment in time as well, never the less, as I looked over in that direction all at the exact same time as well.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I squinted my eyes all at once, only to see that their tents were no longer there any more. I was a little bit lost at first, as to just what it was that was going on right now, and where it was that they were at right now, in the very first place any ways. I began to search around camp, as I was not going to lie to my self, as I was a bit afraid, as well as to the fact that I was scared the we might have some how lost the leaders of our legion for some odd reason or another, some how. As I continued to search around the camp how ever, I then all of the sudden heard the loud voice of Tanner, as he began to start to speak up to every one that was in the camp at this very moment in time any ways, as I then all of the sudden turned my head over to him.

I looked at him with quite a bit of a blank look on my face, as I could tell that the rest of the camp was doing the same as I was, but that felt to be more due to the fact that they were just worn out, due to the fact that it was clear that they had not taken it all too seriously as to the fact that Callan had told them all that we were going to be waking up quite a bit early. I rolled my eyes at them, as I kind of felt like they were idiots them selves, for not listening as to just what it was that he had said. I then let out a bit of a soft sigh all at once as well though, as I also knew that it was besides the point right now, as I remembered that Tanner was speaking right now, as the first words he had said were simply just to get the attention of the entire camp on him. Now that every one was looking at him how ever, he began to speak up quite a bit loud to every one, so that they could all hear as to just what it was that he had to say.

"I hope you guys are ready... This is just the beginning to a long haul!"
