Perry closes her eyes and begins to meditate and as she does she begins to hear the sound of men in great effort. As her two classmates begin their own struggle she sees in her mind's eye two naked men grappling and throwing punches in a dark stone room surrounded burning torches and men clad as spartans. She hears as well the steady beat of a drum as unseen men chant in prayer.

Two burning eyes stare not at the scared ceremony but directly at her. You are more my daughter than you know" whispers his voice from the darkness.

Perry's eyes snap open as the smell of blood, sweat and smoke fills her nostrils "Never surrender" she hears as if whispered by the wind.
