(Sky's POV)
"Jason, Jason get up." I whispered, poking the spaceman on the shoulder. He opened his eyes, and yawned.

"H-How long was I out for?" He mumbled, wiping the sleep out of his eyes. I looked at my watch.

"About 3 hours. It's 4:30." I said. Jason gasped.

"I promised Mitch I would help with training at 4:00! He's gonna kill me! I gotta go Sky, see you at dinner!" Jason said quickly, bolting out the door. I didn't even get to say goodbye before he was out of the building and off towards the training grounds. I sighed, and looked back at Ty, who was stirring.

"Hey sleepy-head." I said casually as he sat up slowly in the bed. He looked around, confused, and then spotted me. He sighed.

"God Sky, you nearly gave me a heart attack." He said, wiping the sleep out of his eyes. I smirked.

"The same could go for you. You ok?" I asked, pulling one of the chairs in the over to the side of the bed. He nodded.

"Doctor said the arrow tore a few muscles. Nothing serious though, which is a relief. I have to stay in the hospital for the next week." He said, a hint of disappointment in his tone. I shrugged.

"Well, that sucks. There's no other way you can get out of this place?" I asked. He nodded.

"Unless I want to go jump out the window." He said sarcastically. I smiled.

"Ha ha."

"So, uh...anything new happen recently?" Ty asked, stretching. His leg moved out of reflex, and he winced.

"No, but Jason is probably gonna get a decent beating from Mitch. He's late for training practice." I said. Ty laughed.

"Can't make it to anything on time, and yet he's the one the with the jet pack." Ty said, and I smiled.

"Uh, General Sky? Sorry to interrupt, but visiting time is now over. You can come back tomorrow." A nurse said, popping her head in the doorway. I nodded.

"Ok. I'll be out in a minute." I said, and she nodded. I then looked back at Ty.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow." I said, waving as I walked towards the door.

"Alright. Bye Sky!" Ty said, watching me as I closed the door. I made my way out the front doors, and started walking towards the palace.

"Sky! Wait up!" I turned around, and saw Ian running towards me, looking worried.

"Ian? What's wrong?" I said, stopping. He caught up to me, breathing heavily.

"There....there was....there was a causality at training!"

I gasped.

"What do you mean?!" I said, shocked.

"A...a little boy ran into the training ground, with a weird type of sword, and....and swung at some of the recruits! One got hit in the stomach, and...well, you know what happened! Guards were called in, but by the time they arrived, he was gone!" Ian frantically said.

"Show me the recruit." I said. Ian looked at me, confused, but motioned me to follow him, and we ran to the training ground. There was a small crowd gathering around the area, but as we approached a small tunnel former between the crowds. I saw a small body laying in the middle of the training ground. I walked up to the dead recruit, and got down on one knee, in respect. I bowed my head, and even though I couldn't see it, I could hear every other recruit in the area go down on one knee as well, to honor the fallen recruit.

"Sky?"

I lifted my head, and saw Mitch standing above me. I stood up, and looked at him.

"I know who did this."

I looked surprisingly at Mitch. His brown eyes were filled with a type of angry, sorrow-filled fire.

"Who was it?" I asked slowly. Mitch sighed.

"Sorcerers."
