Some minds can't be changed even when put under a life or death test. Well, the Cadets couldn't be blamed for this. A frontier fort in the middle of nowhere is a place to dump soldiers to rot. Obviously it couldn't properly accommodate the glamorous Cadenza Cadets. In fact, it was a discussion over these very matters that sparked a brawl in the mess hall as a duo of overworked soldiers began to discuss over whether the Cadets were welcome on the fort or not. It was up to any nearby Cadets to decide if they would interfere with it or not. [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/nOwgl1L.png[/img][/center]Those who chose to stay at the appointed lodgings or close to it would be able to witness a whole distinct event. A night patrol had just returned to the fort from the opposite side of the the mountain range. They seemed tired and battered by the inclement weather, all of them except a girl that looked about their age, dressed in the uniform of the Aquarian Royal Guard. [quote=Imperial Records #003][color=c0c0c0][b]The City of Aquaria:[/b] [i]Second only to the Imperial Capital in terms of importance, self-administered City of Aquaria is the trading heart of the Empire, it's no exaggeration to say that all of the Empire's treasures pass through Aquaria before reaching the Capital. The City of Water is also a major hub for enlightened, having the most advanced schools and academies, not to say anything of museums and the Grand Library, which is said to house a countess number of volumes in its maze like chambers. The Aquarian Royal Guard are the stalwart defenders of the city, known for their fierce determination and skill at arms, thought most of them aren't as magically gifted, unlike the Cadenza Knights.[/i][/color][/quote] [color=steelblue]"Stand aside, everyone, we have men who need help here!"[/color] The girl said in a demanding voice despite not seemingly being in a commanding position. She stood tall in her toes, puffing her chest, even as a battle-scarred bear of a man wearing a Sergeant's insignia came to her demanding explanations as to why their patrol was so battered. A good eye would be able to see that the half a dozen group were suffering from frostbite and bearing marks that made it seem like they had fought against some kind of wild animal. [color=steelblue]"With all due respect, I don't have time to answer your questions, Sir! Those men need help and they need it now. If you ae not going to provide it, then stand aside!"[/color] the girl said in a brazen act of defiance. The situation escalated quickly as the Sergeant heaved his hand back, ready to strike the girl's face with a backhanded blow. "First there's those Cadenza brats demanding a whole lodging just for them. And now we're forced to play bitch to Aquaria as well? I'm going to teach you brats to follow the hierarchy!" The Sergeant howled, leaving a swollen red mark on the girl's face as she stood there with arms extended, shielding her squad. [color=steelblue]"Are you done already, Sir? If so, stand aside. They don't have all day to be wait until they can be treated,"[/color] the girl said, still defiant, despite the very bad bruise in her face. "You little cur!" the Sergeant yelled, reaching for his sword. "I'll have fun having my way with you in the dungeon, once I'm done here!" None of the Orello soldiers who were looking at this scene seemed willing to move a muscle to stop this fight as well. Just like the brawl on the kitchen it was up to the nearby Cadets to decide if they would do something regarding it or not.
