The sun strated to rise on the horizon and with it the townfolks, even in the first hours of the morning Rodos was a lively place with the merchatns getting their shops ready for business. The Kratz family was no different, Vera's father was already awake and working at the bakery while his daughter and wife woke up a bit later, they had breakfast in silence as they were a bit worried about their daughter joining the Town guard.
Vera was already wearing the standard gambeson and boots, although it was hard to tell by her sleepy face the girl was excited about it. She fantasized about great adventures, killing terrible monster and more.

The church rang the bell, it's echo reminded everyone in town it was already 6 am. Vera stood up, put on the thick leather gloves every given to all the recruits and walked to the door, after a brief goodbye she started to make her way to the Stronghold, her parents watcher her go from the door, the hugged each other thinking that their little girl had grown.

Vera walked slowly, she had enough time to reach meeting place without breaking a sweat so she enjoyed the walk. On the way she realized many other had enrolled along wth her, the girl recongnized some of them as they were usual costumers at the bakery while others were unknown to her. Nevertheless she continued her way until she found herself at the open gates of the Stronghold, she contemplanted the building for a few seconds, then resumed her walk.



"Ready or not...here I go..." She muttered as she crossed the gates, the main yard was full of other recruits dressed just like her.
