After about an hour of answering reparative questions and waiting for the list of names to fill Hark called everyone who he enlisted to get on line. The group was smaller than he had hoped considering the size of the city he was in but considering what they were about to go face he didn’t blame people who lived cushy lives To drop anything and go fight. Hark’s men had formed up on the opposite side of the new recruites and were facing them. 

Hark’s second in command, Jagger, walked up behind him, “Twenty-seven in total, not the numbers we want but the men look sturdy enough not to all die in their first battle.” Hark looked over the group once more, “Lets hope you’re right.” As he walked the line he studied the faces of his new section and came to a halt in front of a tall figure wearing armor and a helmet. “Do you show your face?” Hark asked as he looked into the helmet, a cold pair of hazel eyes met his gaze. A cold “No” was the reply the stranger gave him and to Hark’s surprise the person was a female.

“Very well”, Hark said as he took a step back to study the woman closer. She wore armor that was well wore which showed she might have had some experience. “Congratulations on your promotion, you’re now the section leader of these new pukes. I’m going to need you to divide you section in two and then pick a team leader from the two teams.” Hark nodded to the woman in armor and then headed to the middle of the section and looked looked over the group one last time.

“Alright listen up Pukes”, He said in a voice loud enough for all to hear, “You will receive your first months pay right now before I realease you. But armor, a sword or pike and a shield whatever is left is yours to do whatever you wish with. If any of you decide to back out you will return the coin we have given you and if you don’t you better start funeral preparation.” Hark looked at the groups and could see a few looks of unease amongst the group, “Meet back here tomorrow morning before sunrise, and enjoy yourselves because you might not see your families ever again. Dismissed!” 

As the group broke Jagger along with Eric and Stormer were calling the men over to a chest to hand out their first months pay. As the group filed through Hark saw the woman he promoted to section commander and walked over to her, “What is your name?” He asked.
