Snippet #941579

Xeroux rushed to the 7th tower, knowing he would be late.

"Great, I'll be scolded my first day! What a great first impression...I should have just pushed my way to the front of the line!"

He raced into the garden like area, seeing his fellow squad mates and Commander already present. His heart dropped as he hurried to fall into the little formation there was. With a crisp salute he introduced himself.

"My apologies for being late commander" he bowed low to Malkini before turning and bowing to his squad mate. "Sorry for being late you guys..." He said with a sheepish grin. His attention snapped back to his commander, who was waiting for him to introduce himself. He felt his face flush noticing the same look on their faces as well. Though he was the last to arrive and they probably knew each other's names already, including his by simple process of elimination, they still waited.

"I am Xeroux Falcus, Knight Elite hailing from the Academy of the Territory of Ackan, Gengrolin. I'm looking forward to your teachings, and getting know my fellow squad mates."


He smirked, finishing what he felt was the important piece of an introduction. 'Just the basics,' his grandmother used to tell him, 'if they want to know more, they'll ask. Never overload a new aquantince with to much information about yourself. You don't know if they can be fully trusted for one, and it makes you seem cocky.'

His smirk faded to a small warm smile. This was it, the beginning of a new chapter in his life. These were the five new and closest friends he'd have for now. Together they would meet countless dangers and challenges, but he felt that they would overcome them all, getting a strong since of determination from every one of his new squad members. Fire burned in his pale blue eyes, ready to open the book, and begin the new chapter.
