*posts a story upon the doors of the Militias meeting Chamber*
Lighting streaks the sky as thunder sounds in the distant, it’s the same dream every time.
I was seven years old the night the storm came in. I had been outside at dusk playing with the kittens in the barn when it started. My favorite kitten got scared and started to run. I ran out the back door after her and before I knew it I was too far to see the house and the storm was growing stronger. I didn’t know what way to run so I kept running until I found a small cave along the creek edge and I hid there. I must have fallen asleep because when I awoke I was drifting on a small piece of wood down stream. I must have drifted for hours finally coming to rest on the shores of the town I would soon learn to call home, Yew.
I finally gave up hope of my family ever coming for me. I knew that I would have to take care of myself. I pillaged the windows of the homes in the village finding food they had set on the ledges to cool, and I soon learned how to set small traps for catching rabbits and other small animals to feed myself with. The years past rather quickly and soon I was in my 14th summer. I had heard tales of a City made up with Paladins and I made my mind up I was going in search of this place so I could learn the art of Paladin and other skills that I would need to continue on. I found my way to the City of Luna and there I studied until I was 18, then I made my way back to the city of Yew where I had ambitions of becoming on the Militia. As I was growing up in the woods near the Militia headquarters I often caught sight of the men and women of the ranks and sat and watched them in training and sometimes even battles that is when I decided I wanted to be within their ranks. However I also knew I wasn’t going to be allowed to just walk in and say I want to join you. No I needed to make friends with at least one of them and then work my way inside. So I asked around and found out that they often went to one of two Taverns and the City of Skara Brae. In this town I ran into the Militia man named Trace Adkins.
I told him I wished to join the ranks of the Militia and he then told me I had to stand one leg and do silly stuff, and that there was a 100k fee for joining. So I did all he asked of me as well as pay him his fee. He and his Militia friend Other watched me I am sure they were laughing at me, but never let on that it was all just a test to see how dedicated I was. After I did all this he finally told me he was only testing me, and asked me to join him and Uther at a tavern in yew. It was there that I met Princess Piper and spoke with her for a short time. I learned of a council that met once a week and I decided I was going to go to this and listen to all the news and so on of the lands. In this meeting I heard of an auction that one named Lady Kimber, the Mayor of Skara Brae was going to have and after the meeting I me this Lady and asked her of her planed event. She was very kind and asked me to join her and few others at her Tavern where she then spoke more on the event and asked me if I would like to volunteer, seeing this a chance to meet even more people I accepted her offer.
Three nights ago I ran into Major Trace Adkins, he interveiwed me, the real interveiw this time. He learned that I speak nothing but truths. I pray that my interests and devotion to the Yew Militia is not overseen. I will do what it takes to defend and uphold the ways of the Militia.
