As Sinta arrived at her dad's office she knocked on the door and a deep voice had told her to come in. As Sinta entered the room she stayed at attention and her dad told her to sit down. "Give me a full mission debrief on everything that happened out in the field. Captain Verius." "Yes, High Commander." "During our rescue mission we encountered the Unmourned and Unmourned Hounds somehow Neon Knight Apprentice Xiar was defeated by an unknown enemy calling themselves the Unborn. We rescued two of the outskirt villagers that have high Ether levels."
High Commander Verius stroked his beard and then looked up at Sinta. "You are to take the boy in your squad. You will train him personally Yoko will take over for Ether control." "What about the girl sir?" "She will be with the Brigade Commander Beithier-Nehimer." "The Boys training begins tomorrow and you are dismissed. Captain Verius." "Yes, Sir!" As Sinta walked out of her dad's office she slammed her fist into the wall. (Damn it old man!? What do you think you're doing? Bei is going to be the death of that poor girl.)
Sinta walked back to the infirmary and checked on Zarophin. "Hey, how are you doing?" "The nurse said I'll be alright I just expended too much Ether I need to get some sleep for the rest of the night. So what did the old man tell you?" "How'd you...? "Yoko came and told me that you went to talk to an old man that's the Grand Master or something like that." "He's the High Commander of the Neon Knights and he wants you to join me...." "What about my sister! What about Luna?" "She's being sent to another squad per his orders." "Tsk, that bastard!" I quickly got up out of the infirmary bed and ran out of there looking for the High Commander's office. "Zarophin! Stop!" Sinta yelled chasing after Zarophin. I finally came across a red oak door and slammed it open. "You old geezer!" The High Commander stood up from his desk and said "What do you think you're doing Boy! Breaking into my office like this!?"
"You think you can split me and my sister up because you saved us!?" "You are an insolent boy!" "I'll be damned if you think about splitting the only family I have up for the sake of some damn war we didn't ask to be a part of!" The High Commander walked over from his desk and looked down at me. "So, you want you and your sister to be on the same squad boy?" "MY NAME IS ZAROPHIN YOU BETTER RESPECT IT OLD GEEZER!" "Just because your name is unique doesn't require any respect from the lacks of me. I'll tell you this once the only thing I respect is results and guts."
"So what are you suggesting?" I asked. "If you want you and your sister to be on the same squad you have to beat me in an Ether duel." "High Commander! What do you think you're doing challenging a novice to such a duel!"
Sinta yelled as she made her way to the doorway of the High Commander's office. "Shut your damn mouth Captain Verius." "..." "DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO HER LIKE THAT YOU OLD GEEZER!" I yelled. "Meet me at the dueling grounds tomorrow at high noon boy." I tried to go after the High Commander but I was quickly grabbed and began getting held back by both Sinta and Yoko. "Sorry, High Commander please forgive the intrusion we will be sure to prepare him for the Ether duel tomorrow." Yoko said as she yanked me away from the doorway of the High Commander. The door shut hard as they walked away scolding me.
