Life changes...

"that hurts!". That's what thought Tom after getting beaten by his opponent. But he has to get up again and fight. No time to rest. Get back on your feet and fight! Even if it's just training! The guy in front is really strong and muscular. Tom looks like a tiny shrimp in front of him, skinny and with no shape at all. It's like he is not supposed to be here. Everyone in here looks like a big amount of shiny muscles except him. Even the sword he hardly can manage it or raise it correctly. Usually there's a shield, but he can't use it because his two hands are busy with the heavy sword.

- "What are you doing here? Seriously, what made you think you'll fit in here?

- You don't belong here! You're too weak for this job!

- Go home! you're just wasting your time and ours!"

All the kind words his partners tell him everyday in this training camp. But he's going to stay there and stick to his goal. He's still not really sure about it though, but he's going to continue in this path. Even if it's really hard for him.

Being in the army wasn't always his dream. It never was in fact. That idea looked so silly for him. He wasn't made for that. But he has been a little forced to go there. His village perished with fire after being attacked by warriors. All the people he knew were killed during the attack. He was lucky that day. He was supposed to be in the fields of apple trees but he went through the forest near by. When he came back, it was all burn down.

He was so scared he began to run and run, as fast as he can and as much his legs can do. He didn't know where to go so he kept running, expecting to find something on the way. His final destination was this military camp, where he decided to involve himself to, maybe that will help him to find a way to escape this nightmare.

He has been here since the attack. He never told about it to the others. Well even if they listen. Sometimes he thought of leaving this place, but where will he go? he's got nowhere else to go! Even here he's not very welcome, but he'll stick with this. Maybe with time he will improve his fighting skills and be useful. Let's hope this is soon, because he heard the deployment is imminent, and he will soon face the people whom destroyed his life.
