Shakil called Crystal into his office. It was not the biggest, it had large amount of weapons and leather on the walls giving it a more homely feel yet looked like it could supply a small group of fighters. In the corner behind the desk was a makeshift hammock. Paper was scattered over the deck yet it showed some order to it. "Well you scored well on the fighting part of the test, changing weapons could do some work but it is not a major weakness, leadership is a potential with some work but not a strength yet," said Shakil reading some of his notes,"Apart from that it is a decent pass, all that there is now is to welcome you into the army and show you around," Shakil stepped up and lead Crystal around showing her where major areas were like the training room, the eating area and other important areas. He went to the female dorms then paused for a moment. He quickly went back to the training room to find Sakira and asked if she would not mind Crystal being a roommate so she was not allow. Sakira had agreed with a small show of acceptance. After the quick introductions between the new room mates Sakira went to prepare her large room for a second person. Shakil made a final stop at the noticeboard. "Well here is where daily jobs are posted," he said pointing to the right half of it,"Sakira was the only girl here before you and she used an alias, since there are so few we allow girls to use another name for the lists so it is not such a leap into the army with everyone quizzing you, would you want me to put a different name for you on the list?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakira had gone to her large room. It was almost suitable for royalty, she changed it so there was a second bed at the back, both were four poster beds with curtains. It would be clear which would be for Crystal as there was a large bag on Sakira's one(the one to the right as you enter). She then set up a deck next to the other bed and tidied her deck slightly tucking away important things and locking very important things in a draw. After that she opened the curtains to let in the bright daylight and went onto the balcony to think, the view to the garden was an amazing sight. "About time another girl joined," she said to herself looking at the breath taking view,"I wonder how she will do, this is not for everyone and a lot of men even drop out. I guess time will tell, she has not seen much serious fighting if any but that does not stop everyone," The room looked very tidy now, the balcony was between the beds which had decks next to them in the corners, the front of the room had a cushion area on the left with a very large bookshelf and on the right of the room was storage for some food and places to put weapons. Under each bed was an area to store clothes and other belongings. Sakira was examining the flower baskets on either side of the balcony. She was thinking about weather she should go around more openly about her gender now, since she was not alone it might be a bit easier but that had not stopped her before. She decided to stay hidden even though people knew about her, hidden was safer, no one knew that she was really important to the water temple since she was very secretive about almost everything. She looked down to her belt and noticed the normal short swords she used for basically everything that were in view. Then she looked beyond them to an out of view set, the legendary weapons of her temple. She knew she was going to have to be careful with them because of a room mate...

Sakira looked at her carelessness with injuries and summed up she would not stay long. "I fixed up your area as best I could with short warning," she said. It was almost perfectly done but Sakira clearly had higher standards by far,"There is some vegetables in the storage over there, I don't always eat in the lower areas, as long as your here you might like to get used to it, I am the only other girl here at the moment with over 300 guys in this barracks, about 45 in this section we are in, the last 6 girl that joined after me left within 2 weeks, to be honest I don't have high hopes for you but then again I would not mind you proving me wrong," He voice was so matter of fact, but it was comforting and fairly friendly but clearly not as welcoming as it could be so if the new one did leave she would not be hurt much. I better clean that wound up when she is asleep, it could get infected fairly easily if left like that Sakira thought to herself, she had plenty of first aid stuff hidden away in her area. It was strange for her looking at another girl who used similiar weapon styles, something about this recruit made her wonder a bit. There was something to her that made her think she was strong but also something that showed she would not fit in as well as she could. "Also, if you want less attention from all the guys her wear baggy clothes and don't speak as much around them, they will mistake you for a shy young guy and it really is nice to have quiet from them, if not well you will get a huge amount of attention," Sakira said before getting a book from the bookshelf and sitting on her bed with it.

"7 guys, easy to deal with, 300 not so easy, only some many heads you can bash together to stop them giving you the eye," said Sakira,"Anyway most likely you dont have to worry about fixed duties or training times yet, all new recruits don't, I recommend you rest regardless, you are going to be the talk of the week, most likely me too as they found me out a bit, but I can hide from them all very easily," Her confidence was very thick in her voice, it was clear she could easily slip away for a week if needed but she had a way of showing she did not need to run away. "Anyway, I can help with that," she said going to Crystal and helping dress her wound perfectly, she had had way too much practice at healing other wounds and not her own, it showed, most likely from beating people too much at group training or saving people who got hurt too much. She still did not show signs of accepting the sight of blood, to be honest it looked like it made her a little unconformable even though she did not show it hardly at all before finishing sorting out the wound. "Give it a few days and it will be fine, just try not to do something stupid with it," Sakira said before returning to the book she had on her bed, it was clear it was an old piece of fiction by the cover.
