Eídos' POV
It was the first day upon the ship with the graduated class of navigators. I was one of the top ones in my class, receiving the honor of having a ship of my choice. I am eager to begin to defend all that we hold dearest, our home. I stand there saluting the commander before marching off to the hanger bay where we will choose our ship. I see a large ship with red streaks down the wings and under them and I smile. It said "Ischyrós" on the side. I gently place my hand on it and take a breath. "My destiny is to be the best navigator and to defend all against the unforgiving creatures of space." I whisper to myself. Suddenly, I hear a snicker behind me. I quickly turn to see a tale male wearing a black zip suit with yellow streaks down the side. He looked at me with his dark green eyes. "You honestly think you were born to save this world? There's nothing left there." The tall male uttered. I growl quietly. "I want to be a part of something bigger than myself." Another snicker. "Yeah, so does everyone else abroad this ship. You think you'll make a difference?" He spoke again, only this time he stepped closer to me. He pressed me against the ship and ran his hands through my long white hair. "It's sad how you are filled with such determination. I envy you." He said as he brought his face closer to my own. 'This guy is too close. What does he want from me?' I thought as my face heated up. He smirked and then pulled back. He walked away down the hall to the dorms. I lean there against the ship and think about what just happened. 'Who was he?..' Was all I could think.
