Elijah's Past<br/><br/>He'd been here for a couple of months. He'd gotten the papers for Naval Recruitment, and had visited the recruiter after taking the aptitude tests, and the Master Chief that worked the recruiting station couldn't believe he was not interested in an officer's commission. He'd tried to talk Elijah out of simply going in as a green recruit. Even so, he'd mentioned Elijah would be better served working in a capacity such as navigator on a frigate or corvette, and that was likely the path he'd take. He hadn't turned in the paperwork yet. He'd<em>felt</em>something a few days after leaving the recruitment office, and it was holding him back from finally doing it.<br/><br/>In fact, Elijah had rented a hover car, and gone a day's drive to the next city over. Something had made him do it.<br/><br/>He was glad he did. The place was a historical site, with ancient ruins, and beautiful landscapes. It was serene.<br/><br/>A good place to think. It was quiet, with just some tourists here and there.<br/><br/>He felt drawn to a few trees in a park, and sat there. He was feeling that he was needing to wait for something. It was odd. He'd never felt anything like it. It was familiar, yet he couldn't place why.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">I'm playing it as Grendel's mind is actively seeking him, and Elijah seems to be drawn to Grendel.
