Leon
"Control your anger", they say
"Stay calm and focus", they yell
"You can do better", they try to encourage
HARDER, BETTER, PUSH MORE, GO HARDER!!", they keep pushing me and it's ANNOYING!!!
I never wanted to come here in the first place, but my parents thought it would be some type of reform school for kids with special talents (and they hated the fact that their only son was gay.
"But this is my life and who ever don't like it can...BURN!!", I say to myself as I erupt like a volcano. Fire shooting in all directions, my hair ablaze a mane of fire like a true lion. As the temperatures grew, fires started and grew, I got angrier and angrier until everything went black.
I woke up dazed with my head pounding,
"He isn't ready" I heard a voice say and another replied "it has to be done in order for his progress to continue."
"Hello Leon, glad to see that you're awake. I will give you the basic rundown. You'll be working in the field investigating reports of a new Zodia emerging. A water sign at that, so proceed with caution. We know very little of this new development, focus on gathering intel and don't make any rash decisions."
And just like that The Councilor finished his briefing, strange he looked too calm. Freshly shaved, onyx hair pulled back, fresh white coat with the ancient symbols of Yuan and Juan engraved in gold, polished tan shoes with a pendant of protection around his neck. I shrugged it off and went to my room to pack, strange the thought of Denny and I last week flashed across my mind (am i blushing? No, no no no.... I'm better than this). It's time to prepare for my mission, strange they didn't give me the location. Either way, I have two days to pack then it's time for some field training.
The next day....
The Sanctuary is an interesting place. To some it may seem basic, old and barely functional, but it's really decked out with technology, training areas, a few helicopter pads and dorms. They produce their own food mostly, only needing to import international foods and equipment while the magical energy is crazy here. It's said "if you train and focus hard enough, you can connect to the power of the ancestors " though I consider it a load of polished crap". The educational structure here is well balanced, even the simplest of minds are able to get the aid needed to be an "A" student. The uniforms could've been better though, the uniforms are tailored to each person and there's 3 different uniforms.
Class
Black pants, with matching shoes, belt and vest with a white shirt.
Training
Combat pants and shirts made with a durable yet lite material to withstand training, the elements and combat, depending on rank the colour and style changes. The boots are unique, thick yet flexible allowing an all terrain type feel (I've melted 3 thus far).
Casual (my favorite)
These everyday uniforms are very much form fitting. They switched out the black pants for tan and the shirts are tailored so that you are able to pin your Mastery Badges. Not only do I get to show off this awesome physic, but I also get show my medals that says how awesome I am I guess you can call me "The Vanity Prince").
It's 8pm and the alarm goes off, time to head out. My first field mission, yet they haven't told me where I'll be going. Where ever it is, they better be able to handle this lion's fiery furry.
