As Bea arrived in her carriage she reminisced over her previous years at the beloved academy, this year, however, would be her first as a member of the officer program, she was excited beyond belief, but also exasperated as she could have been a higher officer for two years now, and felt she had been worthy since the start. For some reason, however, she had always been neglected for consideration into the program.

At least this year they had done the competent thing and picked her as one of the new entries into the program. She didn't know whether she should be proud or ashamed seeing as she would be one of the older people in her class, but this just meant she had to prove herself as the best. She handed over what little luggage she had over to an on-duty guard, probably scholarship student paying off his debts, in her home country of Rusland she would have looked down on the pauper, but in this less refined culture she had to remember, he was her elder, and therefore her better. This pungent thought put a scowl on her face, no doubt, she was his better, having taken down men and bears alike! Just as well she had experience in the layout of the sprawling fortress otherwise she would have doubtless gotten lost. As she turned the corner into her vision came the sight of the hall she was to go to. She gracefully entered through the grand doorway, almost twice the size of her, mind she was not small, I any sense of the word, but this building made even the most grandiose of people feel, Dwarvish, and ant-like. Taking in the magnificence of the architecture as she went, she took a seat at a lavish table, that was normally used for dining, today however, might be different, it might not, but then how could she know.
