There was Camden Lowl, an 18 year old soldier whose power far surpassed her own. He had golden locks that matched the color of his eyes, and a middle part that showed the slim scar that he had received in battle. His lightning magic made him unmatched and people whispered that he was the descendant of Zeus. Camden was a strategic soldier, a ruthless killer, a loyal citizen. But the side that most people didn't know about him, how he was kind and funny. How his eyes twinkled every time he learned something. That was the real Cam, and Anne didn't want anyone else to know about it.

"Cam!" Anne squealed, running up to him.

"Hey there dream girl how's it been?"

"Don't call me that Cam, and it's been fine. How's your work been?"

"The usual." He said clearly avoiding the topic.

"Now dream girl how about some food. Or if you're not hungry I can eat yours." Camden continued on with a devilish grin. He then raced past her into the line grabbing two servings.

With a childish grin Anne said "Stop that!" Then she grabbed her plate back.

The pair had grabbed their meals while continuing with witty banter, and then headed to go sit down. They made their way to where Tani was sitting with a crowd of soldiers fawning around her. It was no surprise to Anne that Tani had already gotten her food. Tani always had a way of getting what she wanted.

"Anne dear now's not a good time. I have these fine gentlemen to entertain, and your beauty will distract them." Tani said with the wave of her hand.

Understanding the dismissal Anne led Camden to another table. At the table there were all of their friends. Vanya with her vibrant pink hair that matched her personality, Kenneth with his dark black hair golden brown skin and sly eyes, Lilith with her silver hair and cold personality, and finally, Dylan with his auburn brown hair and overconfident personality. Anne loved them all dearly; they were the friends that she had gone through hell with.

"Vanya I love what you have done with your hair!" Anne said running her hand through Vanya's bright pink hair that was in twin braids.

"You flatter me Anne! I had Nora color it for me, and come here and tell Lilith that she needs to loosen up sometimes!"

"Vanya may have a point Lil, it's good to have some fun sometimes."

With a scowl Lilith said, "Somebody has to make sure you guys don't get in trouble."

"I completely agree don't nag on the beautiful Lilith about her dreadful personality." Dylan smirked.

"Who said you could interrupt Dylan! But on another note I heard that you boys had a mission together recently. How did it go?" Anne asked.

"Fine." They all grimly said in unison.

Knowing better than to question this Anne avoided the topic, but still she was concerned about it. Looking around she noticed that the whole Cafeteria had an odd vibe to it. Everyone seemed to be worried and rushed. It was like they were keeping a secret that Anne wasn't let in on.

Quickly changing the topic Kenneth chimed, "Have you guys tried this fish God it's delicious!" While shoveling some more in his mouth.

"I know right! Also guess what I created in Tani's workshop?" Vanya asked.

"What." They all asked back.

"A new warship. It's a personalized aircraft that can reach up to 1500kph and has a specialized bomb on it! I'm thinking about naming it Mock21."

Everyone else was shocked. They knew Vanya was a genius with machines, but to create such a high end warship was incredible. With all of the new raiders, and the Drieds preparing for war all the more machines they had the better.

"Congrat Vanya!" Kenneth cheered.
