The Legend of Smit-rak

Drafts leads to friends

 

"A Draft! Why would he need to emplace  a draft upon us?" I shouted. 

"Well Alik maybe the  king is in a shortage of troops?" Rose whispered.

"Oh I'm sorry love I forgot Fin was asleep." 

"Tis ok Dear you're just upset, but if you have to fight for your country then...."

"It is what I shall do!"

A few days later I leave onto my journey to the west moon camp. I meet the general and he appoints me to a squadron. The leader of the squadron happens to be a female who is rather tall and has dark brown hair. She seems to be more interested in sketching gnomes than actually commanding us.

The one person in our squadron I actually liked was a Wood elf named Anna. She explained to me it was the name given to her by an adoptive mother and father. She was the squadron's one out of two battle mages. She practice the art of healing. The other mage was a bit of a stick in the mud. I wasn't sure what his name was. All I knew was he was a upper class citizen and he practiced the art of flame.

Anna and I soon became very good friends. She saved my life in a few battles. As where as I saved hers when it came to the other mage. He tried to come on to her multiple times, but she doesn't fancy the sissy boys in the squadron. She did flirt with me even though she knew I was a married man.

Anna also shared my views on the government. Her family's farm was taken due to an older war effort. During the time the farm was being occupied by the king's troops, she was raped by one. She told me that he lured her into the stables with him, by telling her he found a fairy's nest  in the storage room of the stables. Than he gaged her and well had his way with a 12 year old wood elf....  Upon her telling me this I was sick with the country I was fighting for!
