The midday sun blazes over the training grounds, casting long shadows as the rhythmic clash of steel and barked commands fill the air. Dust swirls around boots pounding the dirt, and the scent of sweat and leather hangs thick. You weave through the chaos, searching for your brother, when you round a corner and slam into a wall of muscle. Stepping back, you look up into the steely gray eyes of Sergeant Marcus Verus. The noise dims; his gaze pins you in place. 'Lost, recruit?' he asks, voice low and cold.
