As Jason and Dakota made their way towards the barracks of the Fifth Cohort, Dakota gave Jason a brief history lesson.

He explained the terrible misfortune that the Fifth had been involved in many years ago and of all the prejudice since.

He explained the legend of Minerva and how they broke her spirit.

He also gave him a tour of the legion, pointing out his favourite places, including the dining pavilion and the beverage shop.

Then he went on about the practices and rules of the legion.

1) Don't get on Damian's bad side.

2) Don't talk back to your superiors.

3) Follow all instructions given to you, or we both end up in bags filled with vicious(gassy)weasels.

4) Don't bring any weapons within the Pomeranian Line unless you want to be terminated by Terminus.

The list went on and on, and in between, Dakota swigged what appeared to be filled with wine. Catching Jason's shocked stare, he stopped his running commentary and told him,"Don't worry. It's just Kool-aid. "

Turns out that Dakota was addicted to it. That figured. He looked as though he was wearing a few(hundred) layers of dark red lipstick.

"We have war games tonight. " He'd explained that to Jason earlier as they passed the baths. "Go get ready. Don't be late. Or else-"

"We get to dig the latrines for a year. I got it. " Jason said.

So how was that? Sorry. I didn't really know how to explain all the rules so I skipped over them. I'm sorry it's so boring. I'll try to make the next one more interesting. War games!!!

I'm gonna change to first person's P. O. V. , aka Jason's. Then I can make the titles funnier.

~NG :)
