Chapter 2 - ~Chapter Two~

Kali Blair Faust ~ United Drakiri Army Supreme Commander/"The Stormbreaker General"

Two weeks later

"Of all of the legions to choose, you choose the FIFTH FRONTLINE BATTALION?!" Kali seethes, her son on the receiving end of her anger. Dain was leaning against the wall, unfazed by his mothers rage. 

"Mom I'll be fine… with how you've trained me I can handle it" He says calmly. 

"You'll be killed!I can't lose another person to war!" Kali yells. "You are going into the fourth flier wing in the back and that is FINAL!" 

Dain groans "Mom it's christmas eve… lighten up" A strained smile appears on his face.

"Fine, but we aren't done talking" Kali says, getting up and walking to the training rooms, where Alastair had holed himself up. "Alastair? How goes training?" She calls over the sound of gunfire.

"Well enough Ma'am!" the young man's deep voice calls. Alastair's long braid thumped against his back as he took another shot. 

"You dyed your hair? Again?" Kali asks..

"Yeah, the old color was fading" Alastair runs his fingers through his midnight purple hair after he unbinds it. 

Kali grins, "Are you ready for tomorrow?" 

Alastair shrugs "A little… we aren't in the whole Christmas mood right now" 

Kali snorts "Well neither am I… I'm heading off to the library, drop your reports and grades on my desk at sundown, we need to put the children's self defense grade in soon" 

Alastair nods "Yes ma'am… but wait until after the children come back from break to do so… enjoy the time you have with your family"

"I will Alastair" she smiles, that sweet intimidating smile that had served her well in her time as the commander of the Drakir rebellion.

While the woman is retired, she's still kicking around, fierce and fiery as usual. A glance or harsh word is all she usually needs to flay a person down to the bone. If she requires her sword, Frostfang, it's time to start saying your prayers, because the sword is both enchanted and cursed.

Kali walks out of the room, spinning a knife she had pulled out of a rack through her fingers.

"Oh and Alastair… Your husband wants to talk to you" She says sweetly
