Guess I was correct. Through the next year, the Dragon Squad went from the very bottom to the very top of the military squads. I was elected Captain of the Dragon Squad, and I was only nineteen years old.
Many things have changed since last year. People have actually tried to get into the Dragon Squad. I've been looked at in awe. There are many bad things that have happened, too. Ian was killed in battle against the rebels. His brother, Brad, has never been the same since then. Those are both bad, but one thing unnerved me. It happened no more than a day ago. The president's son, my cousin, went missing. Yes, I'm cousins with the president's son, and the president is my uncle.
It is a small world after the latest war, The Grand War. Many parts of the world are roped off because of explosions. Nobody goes to the roped off places unless they have a death wish. The explosions weren't made by any bomb. They were made by nuclear bombs. Some of these bombs changed everything that lived at the places that were bombed. Definitely not a good thing.
Then some people who didn't like President Gray's choices became rebels. There are many bands of rebels out there, but the most deadly band of rebels is the Wolves. They are sworn enemies of the Nation. The Wolves threaten The Nation almost every week.
No Asia, Europe, or United States. After The Grand War, all of the continents banded together to save each other. We became...
The Nation
