“Well, I guess our fate is sealed,” she says as we walk up the stairs.
I stop walking and look at her. "Is that fear I hear?"
“And what if it is?” she snaps back, folding her arms across her chest
“The fact that we’re going to be standing on a thin path in the air with nothing holding us up. I hate heights.”
lays my hand on her shoulder. hey violet... just breathe.
I stop walking, and take a few deep breaths
“I’m sorry, it’s just… heights…”
what do you mean by sealed
“We’re going to Bagsiath War College, where all of the best military minds in the country are taught,” she replies. “It’s a place where all of the future officers come from.”
we look at each other and then back at the door ready?
I let out a shaky sigh before nodding. “Yeah, ready as I’ll ever be.”
I look down the narrow path "Yeah... It sure is."
“I’m not gonna lie,” she said as we walked, “I’m pretty scared right now.”
I nod silently, taking a few deep breaths. The view of the ground below us was beautiful, but terrifying.
I look over at violet "hey violet I just want to say good luck on the trials"
“Thanks.”
I say with a small smile. I look down at the ground as we walk up the stairs. I’m a bit nervous.
“I hope I don’t embarrass myself…”
I smile "you look nice in that uniform"
“Oh, shut up.” I say as my face flushes a little. “It’s uncomfortable and tight.”
I look at her confused what do you mean?
“We’re both going into Bagsiath. That means we’ll have to live together.”
She says bluntly
I look over at her with a smirk "Yeah, let's hope we make it through this in one piece."
“Oh, please, what’s the worst that could happen?” she said sarcastically, rolling her eyes
I look at her "the military doesn't think much of us since we're women."
“No kidding.” Violet mutters, rolling her eyes. “I’m sure they’ll be super impressed when they see two girls in a room full of men.”
he looks around at all the students with them and makes eye contact with violet
“Hey, stop staring at me like that!” she snaps, rolling her eyes. “Are you trying to hypnotize me or something?”
chuckles "Sealed? Nah, we've got this. Just... careful, alright?"
“I’m always careful,” she rolls her eyes jokingly
taps your shoulder what's your name young one
“I’m Violet Sorrengail,” she replies, turning to face you.
