"So," one of them had remarked to the other, "we're in an army now."

Two children of a snow-globe world.

Rory had thought about it for a while as he went back to his farm, doing his work, the same as he did year after year, the relentless summer sun beating down on his bared back. Through stories of a wider world he knew of the concepts: riot, queen, army.

But to him, personally, they were meaningless, arbitrary, like a toothless wolf or just words describing someone's shadow. Was it a riot if no one got hurt? What even was an army? What did it do? What was it like? He knew it was a collection of soldiers, warriors, something that was supposed to.. to kill, to die, to bleed, to follow without question, to suffer just because someone told them to.

At least, that was what he remembered from his childhood stories of foreign nations marching over foreign soil at the command of foreign tyrants. It wasn't like Rory planned on ever doing that for Zariah, but.. He sighed as he skulked through the streets of the Settlement, headed for Deva's Bakery.

What was supposed to be a dangerous place was the safest for him now: just another sheep in Zariah's flock, keeping his head down (when he could convince himself not to snap that he was Abandoned, thankyouverymuch) and his eyes bright. Training hadn't officially started yet, and he wasn't looking forward to it, but it had to be done.

And besides, it was a little satisfying to get his enemy to train him...

With a furtive glance to make sure that he wasn't followed Rory opened the door to the bakery's basement, and stepped into the cool, dim space beyond. He paused for a while to let his eyes adjust to the dark before proceeding down the stairs.
