Varax Military Mustering Grounds
A month after Avalon's birthday

"Ready, Aim, Fire!" ~whoosh~, the arrows landed on the straw targets with a thud. A Unit Officer(Uo) smiled and ordered the archers to ready a second volley. A Knight was refereeing the combat training, keeping his well-trained eyes and ears out for cries of severe pain and sword-wielding follies. In Varax, the capital of Varaxia, one could find the Main Military Training Ground. The scenery of the Varaxian-MMTG was rarely anything but training unless it was a ceremony. The U.Os of each unit watched closely as the cavalry charged their targets, riders, and their horses were to be feared and created any country's most important group of soldiers. It was the most challenging unit to join as its forces consisted of horses, considering the cost of the beasts. Most of its members were from Noble houses loyal to the ruling party, as horses symbolized wealth, status, and influence. The largest Cavalry company to exist belonged to the Trapia kingdom. The Trap household family legacy was built on trapping and hunting animals, using their family's talents to capture an astonishing quantity of horses. They then established a force of two thousand cavalrymen. The Trapia Kingdom was a giant of the continent because of this. For comparison, other kingdoms had about five hundred to one thousand calvery-men. The average horse costs about 5(St), while high-quality horses cost anywhere from 1(Gt) & 7(St) or 3(Gt). Varaxia has about 820 active cavalry and 190 reserved.

Port of Varax(same time)

Jaml Ivbry was a young man 17 years of age from the House of Ivbry, one of trade. He carried an air of sophistication and a look of calm confidence. His features were sharp, and long platinum hair flowed from his head, silently judging the world with his light turquoise eyes that seemed to see past falsehoods. Adorned in precious armor and carrying a well-crafted sword, The bronze-coloured boy looked imposing. He was also the known fancy of many young maidens. Jaml is the son of Eine and Chreta Ivbry. His father is known as the Blueblood Trasher due to his explosive attitude, battle style, and professional business manner. As his son, Jaml inherited everything except the explosive temper. Jaml's anger tended to be ruthless, calculating, and lethal. "Ha, what an interesting place." It bustles  with activity, such is the port of a city." Jaml had returned from a business trip when his father told him to go to Varnax. Surprised and asking why, his father said that a royal decree disseminated ordered the prestigious Families and Houses that received it were required to send a family member to join the army. Jaml pressed through the crowded streets of Varax, followed by a squadron assigned by his father. The fifty warriors traveling were low-level Ivbry House members and were to make up his company.

Varaxian Mustering Grounds(1 sonen later)

Jaml and company entered the grounds, greeted by the sight of training soldiers. The supervision of their superiors constant. A Platoon Officer(Po) approached as their group gathered at the periphery of the grounds. "What is your name and purpose?" he asked in a rather authoritative tone. Although Jaml was not used to such a tone, he ignored the scowling expressions of his company and said, "My name is Jaml Ivbry, of House Ivbry. The men with me will be my company and under my command." The P.O.'s expression changed as he realized who he was talking to, " "Please follow me, lord Jaml," he said in a more respectful manner, "Yourself and distinguished company shall register with the Varaxian Army." Noticing the change of tone and address, Jaml smiled slightly before complying.

After a few hours of basic training, all the registered recruits gathered in the Mess Hall located a negligible distance from Mustering Grounds. Here, they were to eat, receive an assigned rank, and learn about the Military hierarchy. The hall became quiet at the entrance of a (C.o). " Good Nocten to you all." " Proud soldiers of the king and citizens of Varaxia, welcome!!!" A resonant cheer broke out across the hall as the vigorous young recruits became excited. " As you all know, today you will be assigned ranks. Individuals of noble standing will be assigned as a Squad Leader(Sl). "The Ranks in ascending order are as follows"

"The soldiers that work hard will be rewarded with merit points, they can be used to purchase items from the Army's stockpile." "For every month-end you see, you will receive your salary. Dismissed!" Jaml exited the Mess hall and stared at the lamp-light city, " Wonderful night isn't it sir?" Jaml looked towards the soldier who spoke, before saying "When the war dies we shall not die with it, we will outlive the war."

Exit Gate of Varax

Avlon said goodbye to his family as he left the city gates for the first time, he scanned the map he bought from a store before leaving. A weird feeling built up in his chest as the carriage jumped around on the bumpy road, as he drew farther and farther away from Varax. Avlon wondered if he should turn around before remembering these words. "Your name is Avlon you shall achieve greatness."
