I walk over to the swords station, where about half of the careers are standing. I have used a sword before, my dad showed me in case I was ever reaped, but I certainly don't consider myself a career. After practising with an instructor for the best part of an hour, I turn round to leave. One of the careers calls me over.
"Saxon is it?" I nod and she continues, "would you be interested, in, well , joining our alliance?" I look round at the rest of the careers, their strong builds and sly smiles.
"No, I wouldn't be interested," I say, and stalk off towards the knot tying station. Behind me I can still hear the careers, muttering angrily about me. I look over and see Kain struggling to get away from the other careers. They're eying her up like a tasty peice of meat. I drag her over to one side.
"Do you want to ally with me?" I say cautiously.
"Yes you can join us."
"What do you mean 'us'?"
"I'm already with Elixir, Lana from 12 and Emilé from 11," she says.
"Wow! Where are they"
"Over there," she points to the fire station

I walk over to them.
"So you've joined us," Elixir says. Behind her are Lana and Emilé. Lana is small with mousy brown hair, while Emilé is big and strongly built, a valuable asset.
"Yes. Are you thinking of recruiting anyone else?"
"Anyone you can find." Says Emilé
