Five years later
My parents passed away a year ago and since I have no other relatives, I ended up in an orphanage for street children which was run by the church. The nuns that were there to watch over us treated us with harsh looks and didn't care about us at all, which led to many kids disappearing without anyone caring where they went.
Then on a cold winter day a officer of the military academy arrived at the orphanage to look for children who they force to fight for the Cratis Kingdom. The nuns presented me and the few other kids that were left to the officer. He chose to take me and the two other boys to the capital city to be trained as soldiers. I resisted and didn't want to go but it was useless the nuns didn't care about me at all, and the military just did what they wanted.
As soon we arrived at the capital city of Truford the horror began once more. Every day we got trained to the venge of death, it was the most hellish training you could imagine. But there also were upsides, for the first time in my life I got a room that I only must share with seven other cadets. Also, I got meals every day what a huge improvement to the life was before and at the orphanage.
