Excerpt

The moonlight seeped into the lodge where our fellow frogs are sleeping. Amryry opened her eyes and then yawned quietly. Drowsily she pulled herself up from the floor and walked toward the door. Quietly opening the door, she turned on her invisibility and closed the door. Although no ordinary keronian could hear this, two awoke to the sound of her invisibility cloak being turned on. Zaruru and Maruru both turned on their night vision and swiftly exited the lodge. Amryry ran.

Away from the lodge, away from the others, away from everyone else. Amryry bumped into something. Maruru had spotted her using his thermal vision. "Where do you think you're going?" Maruru said standing in front of her. Amryry turned around and ran the opposite direction. Zaruru shot a net at her and she fell to the ground with a thud.

Amryry was now visible. "I shouldn't have given you two so much technology..." she said struggling to get out of the net. "Were you thinking of leaving the base?" Zaruru said putting his sword up to her neck. "Why would I ever leave the base? Everything is fine here!" she replied nervously. Zaruru pushed his sword closer to her neck. "Zaruru! Stand down!" Maruru ordered.

Starring Amryry in the eyes he drew his sword back and she let out a sigh of relief. "Now tell us where you were really going Amryry or else I'm afraid we will have to hold you hostage until the end of the courses." Maruru said calmly as if there was nothing to worry about. Amryry was extremely disturbed at the way both brothers were acting. Well except for Zaruru...

With a sigh Amryry confessed, "I was thinking about leaving the base because I'm too young for the qualifications to even be in a platoon... I was going to go somewhere else." Maruru disabled the net and forced Amryry up. Amryry struggled to get free but his metal hand didn't let go. "You're lucky I didn't get you with this hand." he said raising his hand of blades. Amryry still struggled to get free. "Let me go Maruru! I told you why already! Let me go!"

Maruru nodded at Zaruru and he shot sleeping gas at Amryry. "You won't... get away with this..." she mumbled then closed her eyes. Maruru picked her up and started walking back to the lodge. "She is right though..." Maruru whispered. Zaruru did not respond but listened anyway. "

"She is too young to even be here and the fact that she got injured- she probably wouldn't survive a battle..." Zaruru looked at Amryry sound asleep. "But she is the one who made us the way we are. If she does qualify, then she could probably do the same to them, or possibly even worse...."
