The Corps

PROLOGUE

There are somethings men can avoid, and others we cannot,
Perhaps there are some we are meant for
Nothing stay forever and nothing is new the good book make us to understand, but
change, change is forever constant
We grew up, some becoming what they wanted and others are victim of fate, never
becoming what they wanted, but we can’t change what we are meant for, we can’t
change who we are
Fairy tales sometimes are not just tales, they have just being pass around so long that
they become myth and legend and legends are born in a day
This is a story of Corps, men who never knew destiny has something else in stuck
for them

be camped for about three weeks and are made to pass through rigorous para
military training after which they are disperse various places to serves their father’s
land
Two corps member fate were intertwined and this is a story of mettle, story of
legends, story of worlds beyond
