brand new start

RONIN if there's one thing i'm good at, it's surviving "Not if you take care of them. Then you can cheat and you won't need to get new ones for a while." Ronin winks, as if the act of taking care of one's belongings is a trick one can play on fate. "And if my daughter wants me to take her shoe shopping for soldier's boots... well, that is a sacrifice I will just have to make." Sacrifice being a relative term, given that Ronin thoroughly enjoys going shopping. Once a baron and all that. They cross over a bridge, quiet but for the rush of water below, and in the distance against the black of the sky, an outline of a dragon can start to be seen. It's only a statue, but it's a good indication of the Dragon's nest. "Not right away - we can't properly initiate you until you have your dragon. So as soon as Longheat gets here and I fix up that skyport, we'll get that done and you can start training with the others." For now? "It will just be basics. Fitness training, combat training, teaching you tactics and strategy and all that boring stuff." From the glint in Ronin's eye, he doesn't find it all that boring. "You'll have the evenings to yourself, at first, and the weekends. Once your training is finished, you might have to work a few night patrols. I'm sure you won't mind the chance to see the stars though, right?"
