Lydia opens the door to Yoke's and her apartment. "Yokes, I'm back!" Lydia yelled.

"Oh hey! How was your day?" Yokes asked.

"The Gamers got past our troops, two soldiers had chased me but I got away," Lydia answers and puts her basket away.

"Wait what?" Yokes was concerned. "Are you okay??"

"I'm okay, someone else was there to help," Lydia said.
"Who?" Yokes asked. "A messenger of the Queen's army," Lydia replied as her face lit up.

"I'm glad they were there, this war is getting out of hand," Yokes replied and hugged her with relief.

They both sat down in the living room and got some tea. "During that experience the messenger found out about my abilities..." Lydia told.

"Oh yeah? What did he say?" Yokes took a sip of his tea.

"He seemed cool with it. But he made me think--- what if I used it for this war?" Lydia thought about it.

"Like, in the army?" Yokes wandered. "Yeah," I replied. "Oh lydia... you're too young!" Yokes said. "So? A lot of young adults are joining the army! And I could be a doctor!" Lydia tried convincing.
"I don't know if it's in you to be able to kill someone..." Yokes said.

"I'd be a doctor though, I'd be doing the opposite!" Lydia replied.

"I don't know..." Yokes wasn't sure about it. "I mean do what you want, but I can't see you... being a soldier,"

But Lydia didn't care if no one could see her as one, she wanted to help sense she had a special ability. She wanted to save lives.

"Are you okay with firing a firearm?" The next day Lydia had signed herself up for the army and was having an interview. "Well- I didn't sign up to kill anyone," Lydia answered. "Then what the hell are you signing up for?" Chief questioned. "To be a doctor, Sir," Lydia replied.

"Doctors are not authorized to go to battle without a gun, You have to be okay with having to fire a firearm... Are you sure you want to join?" He looked down upon Lydia's small body.

"Then I will go to battle with a firearm, Sir!" Lydia answered.

"That's the spirit! Now-"

"Sorry to interrupt your interview, but the queen is on a tight schedule and would like to see you," The Queen's servant told Lydia.

"Wait really? Why?" Lydia questioned. "Because of your papers, you wrote down some striking answers," He answered.

Lydia knew at the back of her head what it was about.

The servant shows Lydia into the Queen's office as she sits in her chair.

Lydia nervously walks in front of the Queen's desk.

The Queen was a black cat with a small but shiny crown to fit her head.

Lydia kneeled and bowed her head. "You asked for me, My highness?" Lydia questioned.

"Yes, sit down, now, I have a few questions," The Queen ordered.

Lydia sat down.

"Well you're a cutie, have we met?" The Queen asked.

"I don't believe so," Lydia answered and nervously smiled. There was something familiar to Lydia about the Queen... Her black soft looking fur.

"I have been seeing a lot of faces- Anyways," She took out Lydia's papers. "You have some... abilities?" She asked. "Um, Yes!" Lydia answered. "What exactly are these... abilities?" The Queen asked.

"Well, I was blessed as a baby by a God to be able to heal and create, and I hope to help with the war with my abilities," Lydia tried making up a reasonable story.. "Heal and create?" The Queen was intrigued. Lydia explained herself to the Queen about the abilities she had. The Queen had never met anyone like her before.

She had bright ideas about what Lydia could do for her and the war.
Since Lydia was willing, she would go out to train at once!

And as soon as possible get into the field!
