Once in the base again, he started reorganize his thoughs and planning what to do, he know that even though what he did seem impresive it wasn't something that incredible, the lieutenants could have done the same if they were brave enough so he would not receive any promotion but will be seen as someone with potencial. Apfel started to plan like this when he was called by his commander.
Filiph: Apfel, right. What you did back there was really good, your action saved a lot of lives today, because of that, and seeing your potencial and as you are too powerful for a rookie troop you are prometed to cape and are to present yourself to the second squad in our 9th company for service inmediatly.
Apfel: yes, understood sir! 'so cape and the 2nd squad not bad for the first day, i can make bigger accomplishments there and the missions should be a bit harder, i'm still in the 9th company but it won't be long for the start of war between the Tales kingdom and the alliance, i have to be at least leautenant by then'.
....
Her name is Alice, her father was a noble from the Kingdom of Tale, the Marigold family, Tale was a good kingdom, it was peaceful and the people even nobles, or at least most of them, were kind. But when the great war against the forces of dark came, Tale took a damage too big. Most of the other countries were the same, there was no one to ask help from. By the time the war finished things were so bad, the Queen started to collect excesive taxes from the citicens, and Alice father was killed for going against the Queen's orders trying to protect the poor. Alice was able to escape to the Alliance, a country formed from the ones who suffered the biggest damage in the war, The fairies, elves, driads, dwarfs, etc. and The anthromorfagus, foxkin, catkin, wolkin, etc.
With time the always bright and full of kindnees Tale fall to become a lair of cruel people under the guidance of the Queen and started conquering some small country by their boundary until they were stopped by the alliance, from then they were enemies.
Alice Marigold was taken in by a noblewoman that was a friend of his father and she took good care of her but Alice wanted to stand by herself and one day, take back the lands of his father, so she enlisted to the army, it was hard for a woman but ot wasn't strange with the devastation that every country suffered. She had lots of trouble but after 2 years she was able to overcome the dificulties by herself and become The 6th legion 9th company 2th squad comander.
She was told, today was coming a new promising recruit to her squad, she just expect him not to be a pervert as others had been or she would have to put him on his place. A woman has to be a little rough in this place specialy she as she was young and attractive, long blond hair and slender body with beatiful green eyes. The only reason she was still single was that she was stronger than most guys and also didn't want to be with just anyone she wanted to fall in love with someone special. It was just as she was about to go on her own little world of imagination that someone entered her camp.
Silver-white and just a little unkept straigh hair that gave out a little feral feeling, small elongated ears a young and handsome face with a kind smile that was hiding a small mischivious smirk with devil like kind of charm, that promises pain and plasure at the same time. Her hearth started to beat like never before, her breathing accelerated a bit and the time slowed down as his hair moves with the breeze.
???: Good afternoon, my name is Apfel Hunt, just ascended to cape, i was told to report to this squad, are you perhaps the comander?
It was love at first sight.
