17 The new member (1/2)

As I regained my full vision I noticed that my hand that I had cut was fully healed. Also I could see further into the dark and noise more especially just around me. As I took a step forward I nearly fell over. I moved so much faster than before. I also felt like I was stronger as well. I thought to myself no wonder they said it was harder to fight demon's without awakening. They make you so much stronger I felt like I could kill hundreds of the lesser demons now.

I slowly stepped back out of the circle so others could have their awakening. Next up was Gram. He went forward and did the same as me. The same chant was heard. I then saw his blood ignite like mine and the fire go up his blood into his hand. This time I could see what happened. It looks like he has fire for blood as his blood vessels were bright red, then what would I assume when he had his vision his body became covered in flames. Once his vision was ending I saw the flames dying down. Once that had gone he nearly fell over before adjusting himself to his new found strength. The other seven all went up next, their awakenings were all virtually the same.

Once everyone was finished.The general looked at us for a few moments. ”Adoh as a reward for killing the demons, I hereby promote you to sergeant. All you will also be made into a first class unit. I haven't found a company yet but I have an idea of who will fill up the squad so it is full strength. So for now you will be an independent squad who will be under my direct command.

”Thank you sir!” We all yelled at the same time. I was so surprised at what he had said as were the others I assumed. What he had said meant that we would be in close contact with him, allowing us to be noticed more, so therefore we would have a higher chance for promotion. Which is exactly what I want.

”Now all of you go back to your barracks and report to the training field in the morning. The new member of your squad will be there…...Adoh before you leave can we talk.” I can go to where the general is. As I got closer to him everyone else in the room had left. Once the door had closed, ”So Adoh what did you see in your vision, we can try and use it to determine which clan you are from.”

In an exuberant voice, ”I didn't really so much just a figure holding something and a massive dragon I assume in the background.”

He sighed after I said that. ”Guess only more bloodline awakening will male the image clearer. Now go, you have a long day tomorrow.”

After getting back to the barracks everyone got up and gave me a mini salute. ”Well now you lead us officially by rank now. We won't just follow you due to your skill anymore.” Their declaration caused a little smile to come to my face.

”We are brothers, I may lead us but if you don't like where I lead, say that you don't and I will stop. For now I lead us...to bed.” After that we all found ourselves a bed and went almost immediately to sleep. The next day I woke up first and got into some clothes to train in. Then I woke everyone up, just like how I was woken up on my last day at home by my brother. With a bucket of water.It woke them all up rather quickly. Though I got some nasty looks as well to go with it.

Once they were all changed and dried. We grabbed some light food for breakfast from the food master. Then headed to the training grounds. On arriving there was a woman in armor like us. Seeing us she walked towards us. ”Which one of you is sergeant Adoh.”

”I am an error legionary.” I was confused at why she was here.
