Time passed quickly as one busied one self…
~ 987 AN ~
__________
Near a rather large medieval castle, one can see what seems to be a group of soldiers, dressed in full combat armor. What was peculiar was a rather short figure who seemed rather bored, one hand was picking his nose, flicking the enormous booger onto an unfortunate soul somewhere behind him.
…..
This is David, our protagonist.
David is currently 21… yet his height seemed rather humble compared to his much younger peers.

It was rather fortunate that his Asian heritage came in clutch, saving him from being separated from his peers and Kannette.
From the two years David spent training and living with his 'peers' where he tried to blend into the crowd, but what he didn't expect was that most of the people in his battalion were aged around 10-12 years old where a few exception where a few that were either younger or looked younger than their age foretold, David was a prime example of this.
He is currently in his 20s but he was placed with a bunch of teenagers in the 14-16s, this was fortunate as his short height as well as young face allowed him to stay with most of his original 'roommates'.
This also included the 'thief', as well as Kannette whom he had befriended over the years.
Due to his ability to 'inspect' others, he had used this to his advantage to make some favors with some of the stronger/popular kids, allowing him to gather more information regarding where he was and what was going on.
Of course during these two years, Kannette shouldn't have been able to hide her true gender and identity to the other boys but David decided to cover for her as he would rather befriend a chick than to mingle with a bunch of sacs of hormones…he don swing dat wei man!
Anyways, he and Kannette had formed a friendship from the secret that they share.
Standing in line, David continued to scratch his @ss as he thought about the information he had gained over the years.
"So two years has passed, it's currently the year of 987 AN and the empire, Noxus, is currently at war with Ionia."
Over the years, kids that were found to be older or look older are promptly transferred and sent straight into war leaving only the 'younger' kids to be in his battalion.
"Child soldiers" Thought David
"But why would Noxus, numerous in troops, choose to send out kids to battle like this?" thought David before pulling his hands out, taking a curious sniff before wincing in disgust, instantly regretting his unfounded actions.
"Not sure why I did that.." David was a bit speechless with himself.
Over the years, he seemed to be absent minded at random intervals, at the back of his mind an itching feeling as if something important was at the tip of his tongue yet to never arrive.
Just as his train of thought reached this point, David suddenly froze.
Time seemed to stop for David before he continued moving as if nothing happened.
"Eh whatever" David shrugged before he continued to scratch another part of his sweaty arse.
It was at this moment that a voice suddenly rang through the training ground.
"Order." Said Varces, the instructor.
All of the sudden, the battalion of 1000 kids suddenly stood at attention with a *thump!
David was no exception as he reactively moved into attention, his eyes straight staring at seemingly nothing.
"March." Ordered the instructor before he promptly turned his back leading the way as the battalion followed neatly.
.....
Somewhere in Ionia…
"Ohhh look what I found Kana!" Called a young man, where in response to his call, a small head popped into the room in curiosity.
"What did you find, David?" Inquired the pretty boy.
Smiling insidiously, David popped open the plain bottle before pouring a generous amount into a wooden cup, passing it to the other boy.
"Here" Said David
"What is it?" Kannette asked, a bit suspicious.
"It's da gud shiet keke don't worry bout it." Sniggered a sinister David.
He knew that Kannette had been quite the pampered young lady and had probably never seen consumed a drop of alcohol so he decided to 'help' her grow up through the rough experience of life known as a hangover.
Kannette, squinted her pretty eyes at the 'evil' David before taking a sniff at the contents inside the wooden cup, smelling nothing but the sweet scent of flora and fruits.
Delighted at the pleasant scent, although still suspicious, Kannette decided to trust her only friend before taking a rather generous swig, drying her parched throat with the mysterious yet pleasant smelling liquid.
It was only half way down her throat before she regretted her actions, flinching at the sudden burn at her nose as she breathed in. Staring angrily at her perpetrator, David responded with a boisterous laughter at the sight of her almost chipmunk-like look, her cheeks cutely puffing with the remaining liquid before taking a big swig himself, not noticing the glares directed at them by an unknown figure.
*Gulp gulp gulp
