It was noon. Noon, on any other day would be the hour of activity, of interaction, of warmth. But not today, not ever since Charam Ta started. It was cold, windy, and of course snowing in these part of the woods. You Xavier had heard about a military encampment in Tallbane woods that was recruiting soldiers. You've walked through these woods for hours now though but haven't caught sight of any camp. Perhaps you've missed it?

Then from the left you hear the twang of bow strings being fired followed by the thuds of arrows hitting something. Turning over and walking in that direction you finally see a collection of leather tents with a large campfire in the center. Seems like you've finally found the camp.

 A buff male fire macen with a thick black mustache looks over in your direction. "You! Yeah you! You here as a recruit?!"
Ricky
*Xavier looks at the man, he always planned on joining the army and establishing himself as a leader, he knew he had to start somewhere and his somewhere happened to be here, he was cold yet he was determined, he responded to the man, Xavier having a white beard and white hair, yet only being 18, had been an abnormality somewhat.* "Yes, I am."
Kanesha
The man looks you over, clearly not pleased with the white hair and beard but seemingly shrugs it off. "What can you offer to the military?"
Ricky
"My skills, I have quite a lot of them having to survive in a forest for 4 years of my life." *Xavier had smirked,* "You are quite deep into the forest, that or I am horrid at tracking."
Kanesha
The man scoffs and spits to the side "We don't need a dog, got plenty of those. I need foot soldiers. Can you use a sword? Can you run and lift? That's what I want to be hearing"
Ricky
"I use an axe mainly, I can run and I can lift, if it's required, I can adjust to a blade."
Kanesha
He looks you up and down and smirks. "Wait here" The man would then enter the tent. A couple minutes later he would walk out with a massive log over his shoulder an axe in another and drop it infront of you. "Here, lift this log over your back and carry this axe as well. Run 3 laps around this encampment, after which drop that log at my feet gently before cutting straight into it with the axe. If you can do all that, I will accept you as a recruit"
Ricky
"Understood." *He tries to carry the log over his shoulder, keeping the axe in his left hand, the log being carried by his right dominant hand, he adjusts himself in a position to carry this all properly, he then proceeds to run the laps, conserving his energy and not halting whatsoever so he doesn't get yelled at, if he returns, he puts the axe's grip in his mouth, holding it with his teeth, he places the log gently down with both hands, assuring it's gentle, he then takes the axe out of his his mouth and uses both hands to assure he cuts straight into the log,* "Done."
Kanesha
The man observes you all the while, simply watching you with those cold black beady eyes of his, only occasionally looking away to spit to the side. As you drop the log infront of him he seems to nod in approval and when you cut down into the log with your axe he finally smiles. 
"Well then, looks like you were able to do it after all. What's your name?"
Ricky
"Xavier White, I'm prepared to serve for the king and the kingdom." *He smiles, looking at the man directly.*
Kanesha
The man nods as he pulls out a piece of parchment and writes something down. He then bends over and reaches into a crate next to him and pulls out a dull grey uniform. 
"Well Private Xavier, from now on you will be addressing me with a salute and be calling me by my title, Officer Bogal. Head into the tent to the right and change into the uniform. The other new privates are waiting there. Don't get too comfortable, we will be commencing drills in 4 hours. Move out!"
Ricky
*He salutes, taking the uniform,* "Yes, Officer Bogal!" *He then jogs to the tent where he changes into his uniform, preparing himself for his new career, adjusting himself in his uniform, he exits the tent and awaits drills.*
