Jou bowed in respect as he had been taught to and started a slow jog up the mountain. The short rest had recharged his body enough to endure the next few hours. Looking ahead of him, Jou tried to take the safest route up the mountain, slowly catching up with the other men who had rushed ahead.

Quite happy with the enthusiasm of his new troops, the Captains mind had been split when he had sent the men up the mountain. He was intrigued by the sight of the blue haired girl that he'd seen the previous day.

He questioned whether Jou and that girl were really related and how exactly did she arrive in the inner city without anyone alerting him.

The man in uniform started walking towards the city, taking a route he knew the others would not notice for a few days. He enjoyed walking alone, embracing the silence and becoming one with the environment.

His thoughts lingered on some of the words his brother had said mere hours ago. The two had been in the presence of their mother, an event that usually occurred once every other month.

During the short bi-monthly reunion the two had conversed with the older woman, informing her of current events in the city and all important personal events that occurred between visits.

The Captain knew that her days as a living soul were numbered, although he couldn't quite put a name on the feeling that the information gave him.

The last time she had tried to speak for an extended period of time she coughed blood. His elder brother panicked as expected but as usual he was left to take charge of the situation and assured his elder brother that their mother wasn't going to pass away, at least not yet.

Looking at the face of the old woman he smiled warmly, one of the only times he ever showed his uncovered face to other people. He was genuinely appreciative of the things his mother had done to better his life and wanted his mothers last moments with him to be somewhat pleasant.

Although uninterested in the stories his elder brother had told, there was one thing the man had said that peaked his curiosity. He couldn't help but focus on the short tale his brother told about the strange girl.

It was those words that helped reinforced the idea that he should further investigate the girl.

The Captain smirked, glad that Jou was preoccupied with his current task.

A ceremony that had been accomplishment many times before by brave and smart men such as that of the Captain and his team. He chuckled to himself as he thought back to the day he had done the challenge. Thoughts of embracing the challenge and wanting to be the first person down to the palace gates flooded his mind.

Although the previous instructor had used the same trick he had quickly figured it out, similar to Jou.

"That man has some potential" he thought aloud, chuckling at the thought of Jou somehow surpassing him.

Dismissing his short reminisce about the past, the Captain pulled a gold object from his breast pocket.
