*Ponders the question for a moment.*
It is impossible to tell, it may have been eons ago. I cannot remember.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*thinks about it*

... about 5 or 6 years ago? Give or take.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Oh, that wasn't as long as I was expecting.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
Shinji:
Most of the time, I didnt need to cook. There were chefs and culinary teams on speed dial. But that got...old. not to say they couldnt make a great meal, but... made me feel helpless. I wanted to be able to make my own meals without reading directions from a box.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

What changed six years ago?

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

Fair enough. Your timeline seems... complicated, to say the least.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Grunts*
Yes...

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

Indeed. If you need anything during this time while you prepare for your spar with our King, please do not heasitate to ask. We wish to aid you in whatever way possible.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
Shinji:
Well... nothing really. I just came to the conclusion I wanted to start being more self sufficient. Most of the services I have that arent military or politically oriented were gifts from other governments and from planetary officials. I didnt want to refuse them and make them feel like I didnt appreciate the gifts, so I accepted them.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

How long had you been in the military?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

On and off continuously, since the founding of the EDB's military. I fought as a Sergeant on the front lines, acted as a wartime general,a fighter pilot in the airforce... I've done it all.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Over how many years?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*counts for a second*

...45 years?

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Looks to scythe momentarily.*
A weapon...A whip...Yes a whip.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Oh, okay. That's not too terrible.

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

A whip? Of what material?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Not too terrible, no.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Amaranthine

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

So why are you wanting to retired, since it hasn't been all that long?

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

With the crystal that Father gave to you, you should be able to summon one at will. The only limit is the ammount of energy you can summon with. The crystals can only offer so much, as they act as minor vessels for the Amaranthine.
