Linan, Capital of the Democratic Union of Aviye
Amri
Almost nothing could pull Amri away from her school nowadays.
But she made an exception for this.
Today, in front of the newly-finished People's National Council building, Zai, Rui, and those members of the 1st Ascendant Battalion that had attended the diplomatic exchange were being awarded medals.
She was also here to meet two new natural Risers, and deliver some good news to Zai.
"...and so, it is with great honor, that I award Commander Zai Jeng with the Exemplar's Star, for her outstanding contributions to the preservation of the People's Government." General Suleika announced, having saved Zai for last.
The crowd rose in a standing ovation as Zai accepted the nation's second-highest honor, but General Suleika had more.
