Prologue
#1 of Old
A story about the start of ten sentinel's journey as they sweat, cry, love, fight and bleed their way through battles and wars that have the fate of two worlds in the balance.
The prologue of a serious series that's not based around yiff. There will be yiff in the furture.
Okay this is the start of my new series Sentinel, to sum it up in a few words it is a series based around the rise of ten people, ten Sentinels, as they go from raw recruits to the very top of the food chain.
A militaristic series that will contain violence and war, heartache and suffering but also there will be plenty of heart-warming moments and of course yiff between both male and female characters.
The series contains magic and most of it takes place on a parallel world called Terra, I hope you enjoy it.

Prologue
"So we've got the latest recruits all sorted out then?"
"Yeah, ten this time. They all seem to have potential, at least more than the average ones that we send."
"Are you sure it's a good idea to send such a large group? We usually only send one or two pairs at a time."
"It's an experiment. There's no harm in sending more, it's just tradition. Besides, with the way things are shaping out, having a squad that completely trusts each other will be a good thing."
"Are things at the border really that bad?"
"If it carries on for much longer then yes. And it could get a lot worse."
"Let's hope they're made of the right stuff."
"Like I said. They've got potential."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So you can't tell us where we're going?" Ian asked, looking over at the anthropomorphic tiger that had collected him and Kai from their room a few minutes ago.
"I can't tell you what I don't know," the tiger says with an apologetic grin as the trio walk up to an ornate looking door. Two wolven guards set in heavy armour stood on either side. "This is where I was commanded to bring you. Good luck."
"Thank you," Kai said politely, secretly more than a little nervous at this point.
"Don't worry, it'll be alright," Ian reassured his mate with a smile and gentle kiss to the dragon's muzzle. "Come on."
The guards silently opened the door for the pair and just as quietly shut it behind them as soon as they were inside. The room itself was nothing overly special; a perfect circle with smooth solid walls of dull grey marble, it had many entrances carved into the walls and a high ceiling but the only point of interest about the room was the massive and hopelessly complex and intricate magical circle carved into the floor and ceiling.
"Guess we wait," Ian muttered to himself as he looked around the empty room.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What do we know about this new bunch then?"
"Five humans, five Terrans."
"That's natural. I was hoping for something a little more specific."
"Read the damn files if you're so interested."
"Fine... looks like we already have one pair."
"Ian and Kai?"
"Yeah, it's strange that we're still finding stragglers of our own kind on Earth after so long. I mean a feral dragon is hard to miss."
"It's even stranger when you find a human with one. Ian refused to leave the whelp's side, strange in a human."
"Like I said, we already have one pair. Ian: Human, male, aged seventeen, five foot seven inches, curly blond hair, brown eyes, passed the endurance test easily enough but had trouble with strength, says he used to run so I guess that makes sense, strong magical aura for pre magic release, has a natural healing aura? That's rare and he... shares Kai's essence? Well, that is interesting."
"Like I said, this group has potential."
"Yeah. He's smart as well, analytical. Although we haven't had time to test him properly because he's only been here for a few days. He hasn't even been properly introduced to Terra yet."
"So we shoved him into the Sentinel program?"
"We didn't force him into it, he chose along with Kai."
"Kai... no clan name?"
"He's probably an Ignitus like every other feral dragon on Terra, though hasn't been confirmed."
"Okay, Kai: Feral dragon, male, aged sixteen. Young for a dragon like him."
"I did think about waiting, but Ian is almost at the age."
"Makes sense then. Five foot seven inches, short as well."
"Measured from the withers, his neck and head add another foot or so."
"Oh, okay. Deep crimson scales, green eyes, single pair of straight horns protruding from the back of his skull, neck, back and tail spikes, larger than average reserves even for a feral dragon and shares Ian's essence along with his natural healing aura. Not that surprising given that Ian shares his essence as well. Good start, looks like we have a pair of medics on the rise."
"Oh, it gets better."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What made you give up tracking?" Adriana asked looking over to the black feathered gryphon that was walking beside her.
"You have to ask?" Michael said, tilting his head to the side as they walked along after the one sent to escort them to...well, wherever it was that they were going. "I thought I made myself clear back on Earth."
"Y-you did," Adriana stuttered trying and failing to hide the blush that crept up onto her face, getting a smile out of her avian companion. "It's just that you made it sound like tracking was your life," the human added, defending herself and wondering how their relationship had taken such a drastic turn. Wasn't she the one that was supposed to make him blush? If he could blush, anyway.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Looks like another pair."
"They both have the others essence, so you're probably right about that."
"Adriana and Michael Hawke...He was a tracker?"
"We got lucky to grab someone with military experience. Take a look at his test scores."
"What in the hells? How has he stayed a Tracker for so long, he could be a..."
"He had no drive; he was content with what he was doing. Even with his bond to Adriana, he didn't want to become a Sentinel."
"How'd you convince him?"
"Told him the pay was better."
"...."
"His little brother has Hendrell's."
"Poor kid.... Michael Hawke, Gryphon, male, aged twenty, six foot two inches, dark blue feathers with white feathers covering his neck and head, light golden eyes, above average magical talent and reserves, shares Adriana's essence."
"If he's mixed in with the others it will only help in the long run. He can tell them more about how the military works than any of the other Terran in the group."
"Adriana, human, female, age seventeen, five foot ten inches, long brown hair, blue eyes, easily passed the physical tests both endurance and strength, has a strong but not large pre-release aura and shares Michael's essence. All in all she's a good candidate. I'd even say ideal."
"The best is still yet to come."
"I'd say bullshit, but you'd just prove me wrong."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"This is a little nerve wracking," Josh muttered to himself, but obviously wasn't quite enough when the wolf escorting him smiled at him.
"Try not to worry about it." As the wolf said that he nodded at two other soldiers guarding a door that Josh was quickly moved through.
"That's odd." Taking in the room and its four occupants Josh found his gaze fixed on a gryphon that was staring at him.
"What's odd?" Kai asked. He had taken to lying down on the floor to wait for any others that might be coming with his mate leaning back against him.
"I'm guessing that you three are all wanting to be sentinels, right?" Michael asked the room; even looking to Adriana as he remembered that he had forgot to ask her the same question. When everyone nodded at the avian he crossed his arms and looked a little confused.
"Why, can't we all be sentinels?" Ian asked, not entirely sure whether he was upset or relieved that he might not be able to join the military group.
"No, it's nothing like that. A couple of friends of mine became sentinels and they said that only one or two pairs were taken for training at a time. If he's here," Michael gestured over to Josh who had walked over during the conversation, "then that just means that there's three pairs... which doesn't mean anything now that I think about it."
"Hope not. I'd hate to have to go back to that room for another few weeks," Josh joked stretching himself out nervously. He was starting to go a little stir crazy in there despite everything that he had to distract him.
"I know what you mean," Adriana said with a definite frown adorning her face. "I've been here for a week and I was already getting bored even with all those tests that we had to do."
"How did you guys do in those tests?" Ian asked thinking about his own, the endurance had been fine for him with all the walking and running that he did back on Earth, but the strength was a challenge. He even thought that he was going to fail at one point because he couldn't hold the weight for very long. Even if it was about sixty or seventy kilograms.
"I'm the man!" Josh declared making a show of tensing his muscles. "Those things had nothing on me."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Josh. Human, male, age seventeen, six foot one inch, messy brown hair, green eyes, physical and endurance tests are outstanding for a human, strong magical aura as well despite it being pre-release, not the smartest of the bunch though is he?"
"He's smart enough. It's not like he's an idiot, he's average."
"Feeling defensive?"
"Shut up."
"You're so easy to mess with, you know that?"
"Whatever. And by the way, if you want smart, look at this."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"It's okay, little one. You'll be okay. Don't be scared." Kyle didn't really listen to the wolf escorting him, he had been told that his training would start today, that he would be able to become a sentinel. He was almost excited at first but now, as he clung nervously to the wolf's shirt, he didn't want to let go of the one who had been looking after him for the past few days. His career was switched every week or so, but Kyle still felt safer with him then he did alone, despite only knowing the wolf for a matter of days.
"Why can't you come in?" the young boy asked, looking at the open door in fear, his hand still tightly clenched around the fabric.
"I can't, pup," the wolf said, kneeling down to look the scared boy in the eyes. "You have to be big and brave, okay? They'll look after you in there." Not giving Kyle any time to think of a reason not to go into the room, the wolf gave him a friendly hug before gently pushing Kyle towards the door with a smile.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Are you out of your mind!"
"Look at the scores."
"He's ten!"
"Look at the scores."
"I'm looking at them! He barely passed any of them."
"Not the physical ones. Look at his mental assessment."
"It says childhood trauma."
"It says that the kid has an IQ of over a hundred and eighty. He's a miniature genius."
"With childhood trauma."
"Every soldier has scars."
"Yes, but most get them, uh...soldiering."
"That's not a real word."
"Don't get smart with me! He's too young! He will die!"
"I'm not an idiot. Look who his partner is."
"You can't decide who his partner is going to be. We both know that it doesn't work like that."
"Just look!"
"...."
"So?"
"Have I ever told you that you are manipulative, slightly sadistic and downright scary?"
"Recently? No."
"You're manipulative, sadistic and scary."
"You said only slightly sadistic."
"I changed my mind. Kyle. Human, male, age ten..."
"Don't look at me like that!"
"Four foot four inches, light blond hair, brown eyes, barely passed the physical tests, borderline failed them in fact, his magic is weak even for a ten year old pre released human. His only noteworthy quality is his IQ."
"Trust me on this one."
"Do I have a choice?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So are we all in the same class?" Cayden asks as he charges into the meeting room, almost startling the rest of the sentinel initiates. Ian and Kai hadn't really moved from where they had sat themselves, Josh and Michael were talking to one another before Cayden burst in and Adriana was trying and failing to make Kyle feel better ever since the young boy had walked in and sat against the furthest wall that he could find from everyone else.
"If you mean the sentinels class, then yeah, we're your class," Josh said grinning at the over excited wolf, who quickly took in everyone in the room and wandered over to Josh and Michael. "Name's Josh. what's yours mate?" he asked, taking an instant like to the wolf. Ian couldn't help but smile at him from where he was sat leaning against Kai, out of everyone Cayden seemed the most natural being here.
"I'm Cayden, what about everyone else?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Cayden Terranus... bastard child. I bet that didn't earn him any points with the clan."
"You have no idea. I'll show you the report later."
"Wolf, male, age seventeen, pure white fur typical of his clan and... blue eyes? That's not typical for his clan."
"Bastard child, remember?"
"Six foot, passed the physical tests with ease. Hell, he broke all the speed records. Strong magic aura just like the rest of his clan and has unusual perception ability. This the kid's partner?"
"No."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So where are you taking me?" Skylar asked, glancing hopefully at the armoured wolf leading him down an unfamiliar corridor. The room that he had been staying in for the past few months had been very comfortable, but he was eager to get his training underway. The amount of time that he had spent on Terra meant that he had been able to have some private one on one tuition for his magic, but the human really wanted to get down to some serious training.
"I was just told to escort you here," the wolf said, pointing to into the room that the door guards were helpfully opening for them. "But if I were to hazard a guess I'd say your training is about to start." That almost put a smile on Skylar's face as he walked through the doors, already pulling up images of what the other sentinel recruits must have been like. After all, the sentinels were the elite military force of Sentala, so they must have been impressive. What Skylar saw, however, was nothing like what he expected.
"Another human," Ian said, interrupting anyone from answering Cayden's question of introduction as Skylar walked into the room. "Hey. Name's Ian, and this here is Kai." Ian said introducing himself to both newcomers at the same time. Cayden just grinned at the way that Ian nuzzled up close to Kai while Skylar looked a little disgusted, the look quickly vanished though when the human looked around.
"Skylar," he said to the room before going to lean against a nearby wall. He had no desire to socialize and it was obvious that there wasn't an instructor here yet.
"Are we all introducing ourselves then?" Adriana asked giving up on her attempt at getting Kyle to talk to her in favour of moving back over to Michael and the rapidly expanding group.
"Not without me!" A voice yelled charging through some barely open doors before bending over to catch his breath. "That's a lot of stairs."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Skylar."
"This is where it gets impressive."
"Skylar, human, male, age seventeen, six foot, shoulder length red hair, easily passed all the physical exams, he's smart as well."
"Tactical."
"What?"
"Skylar. I'm not saying that he's not smart, but he has a military mind that's just...smart."
"Okay, how do you know that?"
"He's been here the longest so we had him run through a war game."
"How'd he do?"
"He... beat, well, destroyed the simulated opponent. Haven't seen anything like it. Hell, even some of the commanders would've been embarrassed by him, if we'd ever let them compete together. He's not perfect, though."
"How?"
"He's not got the best social skills. Arrogant, withdrawn...he hasn't made many friends in his months here. Hasn't made any at all, in fact. Put him in charge of a battle, he's fine, but put him in charge of an army for a long period of time? He's not got the social ability to keep people together."
"But his magic score... that's insane!"
"I told you this group had potential."
"He's got the magic reserves and aura of a lieutenant grade sentinel! How is that even possible and he's still pre-release that's..."
"Inspiring."
"Terrifying. We both know what happens when the recruits are released."
"I can't wait."
"...add insane to that list earlier."
"There's only one other recruit that has a magic score like that."
"You're saying that there's another monster like this guy."
"Oh yeah, and he's in the same class."
"Shiro, windragon, male, age fourteen, five foot four inches, passed all his physical tests with flying colours even broke a record for flying agility, mag-ic..."
"Scared again."
"This fourteen year old is outclassing Skylar by a mile."
"I think we can expect good things from this group."
"With monsters like those two, I think you're right."
"I have a feeling that there's more than two monsters in this group."
"What do you mean?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I thought that this was a military group?" Skylar said after Shiro ran into the room, the young windragon looked up at the question before nodding. "How old are you, kid, and how old is that one?" Everyone turned to look at Kyle at that question causing the small boy to flinch and pull his legs closer to his chest.
"I'm fourteen, and my name is Shiro, grumpy," Skylar glared back at Shiro's bright smile. These kids were part of the sentinel program? That idea seemed so absurd that Skylar barely even thought about what he was doing as he raised his magical aura so that people could feel it. That was until Shiro's smile turned into something akin to a vicious smirk and the windragon's own magical aura slammed down onto the red head. "And don't worry, I won't leave you too far behind."
To everyone else it was a kid's harmless joke, but to Skylar it was a serious threat. The redhead didn't know whether he should smirk at the idea of having a challenge when it came to keeping up with this kid, or to be worried that he was actually so much weaker than someone three years his junior. He went with a combination of the two when Shiro dropped his aura and replaced his smirk with a disarming grin.
Ian laughed as the tension in the room was broken after Shiro's joke and took note of the half smile on Skylar's face as well before he took a closer look at Shiro. He had never seen a creature like him before.
"This is going to sound dumb Shiro, but .... How are you standing up? You're a dragon?" The room went quiet before Cayden and Michael exchanged a look and started chuckling to themselves. "What?" Ian asked, wondering just how big of a fool he had made himself.
"Huh?" The windragon replied a little dumbly patting himself down as he thought how to answer that. "I'm a windragon, dragons like erm..."
"I'm Kai," Kai said when the young windragon looked over at the prone dragon who was taking a great amount of interest in the conversations going on.
"Hey Kai. Dragons like Kai are feral dragons, windragon's aren't. We stand on two legs, see?" Shiro demonstrated by bending his knees and hopping along which made Cayden and Josh burst out laughing.
"We can see, kid, we can see," Michael said chuckling despite himself.
"Oh. Good to know." Ian wasn't too sure how he felt about the word feral being used like that, but there wasn't any malice or anything derogatory behind the way Shiro said it, he said it like it was; simply what they were, nothing more, nothing less.
"Are we going to introduce ourselves then?" Shiro asked looking around at everyone, and frowned at the way that Kyle was off on his own. For a moment he thought that maybe Skylar had scared Kyle off like he had just tried to do with him, but decided against that idea when the red head followed his gaze back to the youngest member of their group. There wasn't any ill intent behind that look just slight annoyance and maybe a little sympathy.
"There should be one more person coming," Michael said as he looked around the room. "There's five Humans and four Terrans so we should be expecting another Terran."
"I suppose that makes me the last one here then doesn't it?" a large dragon asked as he entered the room from a door behind the group. "Seeing as I'm late I'll introduce myself first. My name is Termal Ignitus, pleased to meet you all." The dragon inclined his head at everyone with a smile as he walked across the room.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Termal Ignitus. Dragon, feral, male, age twenty five, he's the oldest in the group, six foot four inches at his wither, forest green scales, green eyes, his physical tests... wow that's..."
"He's easily the strongest in the group, even for a feral dragon his raw physical power is off the charts. He broke every record and made it look like he wasn't even trying, we couldn't find anything that he couldn't, lift move or hold."
"You've gathered a class of monsters."
"I got the best."
"Termal's magic reserves are vast as well. Far larger than average but his magic aura isn't particularly strong."
"Quantity over quality in his case."
"Seems like it... wait, he's Kyle's partner?"
"Yeah, understand now?"
"Manipulative."
"Hale should be meeting them all soon."
"He's putting them right in the first stage? Isn't that a little... rash?"
"No. I think you understand that they can handle it. The others might not stand out but they all have gifts."
"So why not keep them here and apprentice them?"
"I feel that throwing them straight into the first stage will produce better results much faster. Nothing increases your ability to grow better than a real life or death situation."
"....In...Insane doesn't cut it. You're a sociopath."
"Aren't we all?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I'm Cayden."
"Josh."
"Michael."
"Adriana but call me Ana. I hate my full name."
"Shiro."
"Skylar."
"Ian, and this is Kai."
"Hello." After Kai spoke everyone turned around to look at Kyle who had been quiet the entire time that he had been in the room. Seeing the young human for the first time Termal wandered over the young boy and laid down so that he was looking straight into Kyle's eyes.
"Hello there little one," Termal said quietly, smiling as encouragingly as he could to help relax the clearly frightened and nervous ten year old. "What's your name then?" Kyle took a long moment just staring at Termal but something in the dragon's eyes made Kyle relax ever so slightly and almost unbidden he whispered his name.
"Kyle... My name's Kyle."
"Well Kyle," Termal said just loud enough for everyone to hear, he didn't want to scare the boy after he had just spoken. "I'm Termal, but you can call me Mal if you want to." Kyle just nodded his head a little in confirmation and almost jumped out of his skin when Termal shifted his weight around a little so that he was laid out next to Kyle rather than in front of him. "Do you mind if I stay here Kyle?" Termal asked still with a smile that made Kyle feel a little funny inside.
"N...no," The boy said shaking his head a little too quickly for Mal's liking.
"Does anyone else... feel..." Cayden started saying making a random gesture with his paws before giving up with a shrug.
"I think I know what you mean," Michael said slowly as he watched Termal talk quietly to Kyle. The moment that the older dragon entered the room he felt... not quite content but definitely more at ease and... safer. The gryphon didn't know how to explain it, even in the most heavily guarded fortress in all of Terra with absolutely no threat coming for them, he felt far safer knowing that that dragon was only a few meters away from him.
The other initiates were having similar thoughts and seemed unable to turn their gazes away from the pair as slowly but surely Kyle started talking more and more with the comparatively huge dragon. It wasn't too long before Kyle was using full sentences rather than just saying a few words or making hand gestures. He was clearly still nervous but much more at ease with Termal around.
It wasn't just Kyle either. One by one all the initiates started talking between themselves and seemed to naturally pair themselves up. Ian and Kai had already bonded along with Ana and Michael before this meeting but Josh and Cayden were talking as if they had been best friends for years. Shiro tried and failed to get a normal conversation out of Skylar but was apparently satisfied with what he did get, as the young windragon didn't stop smiling at the redhead the entire time.
The calm, almost sociable, mood was shattered in an instant however when one of the larger doors leading to the room was literally kicked open and a hulk of a wolf stormed in with a wide grin on his face.
"ALRIGHT YOU MAGGOTS LISTEN UP!" The wolf bellowed stopping a few meters away from the group with a ramrod straight posture that looked downright uncomfortable. The wolf instantly had the room's complete and undivided attention, not only from his entrance but also from the amount of magic that was pouring out of him. It felt like he was trying to flood the room with it. Whatever calming effect Termal might of had was mercilessly smothered with this man's aura. "I am Sergeant Hale, Sentinel and instructor to worthless wastes of space like you lot." Hale looked over each of them carefully just as everyone in the room was looking over him, he couldn't have had more muscle mass if someone came along and tried to glue it onto him. The thick open trench coat that he wore did little to hide the thickness of his arms or the impressive muscles that bulged against the tight fabric covering his chest. He wore a heavy claymore strapped to his back and a set of wide pauldrons on his shoulders each with a single red bar adorning them. The man had thick leather armoured breeches and heavy looking combat boots. He was a seven foot tall mountain of muscle that demanded respect.
"It is my job to turn you from a haphazard group of recruits into a fighting force that earned this country the reputation that it rightfully deserves. It is my mission to turn you into sentinels...no matter how hopeless a taste that may seem." Hale declared pacing back and forth in front of the gathered recruits. Skylar and Shiro both scoffed at the same time but didn't have a chance to look at each other when Hale levelled a glare that could freeze hell over at them. Skylar forced himself to meet that glare head on and not back down when the instructor came over to him and Shiro, who had taken the sensible option and backed down. "You think you're special boy?" The wolf asked towering a good foot over Skylar, the man was casting a shadow down on the redhead's body but the human met the wolf glare for glare. "You think that because you won a game and have better than the average worthless maggot's magic reserves that you're special."
When Skylar didn't speak again Hale did something that no one expected and jerked his head forward, smashing his forehead into Skylar's nose with a resounding crunch. The redhead couldn't keep the cry of pain from escaping his mouth at the action and staggered back, holding his now clearly broken nose as blood gushed from it.
"You're nothing. You understand me?" Hale growled standing over Skylar's downed body with a glare that still Skylar refused to bow to. "Get up." For a moment Skylar was about to tell the wolf to go fuck himself but realised that despite what had just happened he was a recruit for the Sentinels and this wolf was his commanding officer for the foreseeable future, so while he didn't have to bow under the man's pressure he did have to do as he was told.
With a grunt the redhead picked himself up off of the floor and stood before Hale just like he had before, not bowing to his impressive glare. For a brief moment it seemed like Hale was about to head-butt Skylar again but instead the wolf's paw shot up and reset Skylar's nose with a quick jerk that had the human yelp. With that done the Sergeant returned to the front of the group with a satisfied look on his face even as Skylar's nose continued to leak blood.
"Your training begins now."
