Aperitus; Summer of Era II of the Celestine Mandate

The walk had not been terribly long, after all, Blayde wasn't a city-dweller, and he had used his feet well to take him to the places he needed. That was, of course, if he couldn't find a traveling wagon or Vardo to hop on. Besides the directions given to him by the clerk, Blayde had no trouble finding the fields, with all the dispatches of scouts going back and forth from the camp and into the city of Taralon.

The new military camp was built according to the response of the local Sherian government wanting its own armed forces in the face of increasingly hostile entities. This suited Blayde well, though he had no intent on joining this new army for the interests of any government. In all practicality, joining this new army would give him a meal, steady income, more military training, and perhaps some status within the world.

Walking across the hills and fields near the camp, the only thing to be seen was the ocean of tents, coupled with myriads of obstacle courses, canteen tents, warehouses, and training grounds. The sounds of men training with swords, the hooves of horses, and the smell of the open air invited a strong martial presence to the area.

He approached the training area near a small registrar tent, filled with scouts and administrative personnel, obviously assigning men to individual stations throughout the camp. A man sat at a table, giving the assignments out to those who approached the area. "Excuse me; I need to talk to the head officer in this camp." The man's head looked up, obviously thinking that Blayde was joking. Under authority of, uh, the recruitment center in Taralon."

Blayde knew it was a lie of some sorts. Of course, he had been given directions to the camp, though no one gave him the authority to approach any officer. But they didn't know that, had been Blayde's reasoning. If the man bought it, Blayde would hopefully have a chance at speaking with the head officer. If he didn't buy it, Blayde would have to use some quick thinking.
