Training begins

After the door was fully opened a pair of shuttle-like buses entered carrying the recruits. As they stopped out front the doors opened to let them out. About twenty-three were your stereotypical Viking, light skin, light brown or blond hair and blue or green eyes. The rest told stories of the Vikings raiding history. There were about eight of them who might have had African Directorate ancestry as their cocoa colored skin showed, as well as at least five whose ancestors hailed from the IAA. The remaining four didn't have any of the common markers of any particular nation. To your surprise, Violet was among them. She must have left the house early to go and ride the bus back with the others.You vaguely recalled her saying something last night about this being her training cycle.

They quickly split apart forming two groups. These had obviously been assigned before they got there and you kept a straight face as you watched Lily move to where she was standing in the middle of the gap between them. "Listen up! Today is the first day of your new lives. Nobody cares who you are. Nobody cares where you're from. Nobody gives a damn about who your parents are!" You noticed that comment wasn't aimed at Violet, you made a mental note to read up on some profiles later if Lily would let you. "Starting from this moment you have 92 days of training until Ragnarok. You know the consequences of losing. There are going to be a lot of virgins out there. Whether you're on the giving or receiving end will all depend on you. As you know I am Jarl Lily. I and Jarl Gwen will teach you how to fight. Further, this is team leader Adi Lily, she will be working with team Valkyrie. She is a trained raider who has already been through Ragnarok. Listen to her well." Lily said, indicating Adi, you noted her full name which meant that Lily had been the one to sire her. "This is team leader Shandra. She will be working with team Amazon. She is a trained soldier of the African Directorate who has seen combat. Listen to her well." You appreciated that she didn't mention the part where said combat had resulted in your capture and deflowering.

"We will be going to the armory where everyone will be issued their equipment. You will learn to take care of and manage this equipment as if it was going into battle with you. Anyone who does not take proper care of their gear is unworthy of it. So unless you want to fight naked and unarmed you WILL take care of your armor and weapons."

"This is the first week on your path to becoming raiders. There are those all across this planet who would kill to be in your shoes. You must earn your spot. At the end of this week, the first battle will commence. Whose never sucked a cock or licked a cunt?" Three-quarters of the recruits raised their hands. It was likely some were lying. "That'll get fixed if you don't train hard. Now form two single file lines and follow me to the armory. As soon as we get you dressed we get started."
