Chapter 0225


    “But | just want to train like everyone else, | don''t care about being in charge or a leader, I''m new


    here, no one in their right mind would follow me with myck of training."


    “And that, Little One, is where you are wrong. You have already proven to many of them you know


    how to lead, especially in a tense situation. You stay calm and objective. Your friends Lillian, Wyatt


    and Nathaniel can attest to that already. The rest of the warriors are not stupid. Each has taken their


    turn as lead, everyone has to be ready to at all times. For some it''s difficult to step into that role, but


    you do it effortlessly."


    “If you say so. I''m always afraid of making a mistake and getting someone hurt."


    “When you lead, that is always a possibility.” He shrugs and | just look at him incredulously. He was


    supposed to say something fatherly like ‘you would never do that to someone ‘but no, he had to go


    and be honest with me. “What? Would you prefer | lie to you? You are a leader, born to be a leader.


    It’s not all rainbows and sunshine. People will get hurt or suffer on your watch and you have to be


    able to both cope with and then handle it. You also have to learn that you cannot save everyone.


    Some people are destined to hurt themselves no matter what you do to help them.” | just nod.


    It makes sense logically, but in real life | have a feeling it will be easier said than done, which is why


    he’s telling me.


    We make it inside and Alpha Reggie leads me to the dining hall which is situated on the main level


    we just walk in from the massive patio. The dining hall is super formal and everything is exactly as


    you would picture it from a fairytale.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    With murals well maintained and taking up entire walls, fancy framework around everything and a


    hint of gold ents make each surface shiny and fancy looking. The hall is huge and could easily fit


    several hundred people, but down at the far end is a lone table set under a stained ss window for


    the five of us with Luna Anne, Xander and Sierra in animated conversation. Sierra notices me first.


    “There you are, | thought maybe you left without saying goodbye. It’s been hours, what have you


    been doing?"


    | look to Alpha Reggie for an exnation that would satisfy her curiosity, but wouldn''t be me outright


    lying to my friend.


    “We were going over the details of her assignment, naturally there are severalyers to what she


    has to do. Unfortunately working with and for the Royal family has its levels ofplications.” She


    just nods. Well yed, It was a very detailed answer that actually wasn''t an answer. | was going to


    have to pay close attention to how Alpha Reggie interacted with people, he was really good at this.


    We ate and joked and there was no more talk of what my job was. At about seven Sierra got a


    summons from her parents. She gave me a huge hug and told me she would see me on Tuesday


    and expected a study schedule.
