   Hmm hmm...
Since I have some free time I guess I continue with the story...

Eve of The Eternals
Part 16:Recruitment

After a few months of sailings the ship finally reached the south island continents. Quickly Vinedia and her soldiers move on to the city of Elvennia. On the way she saw the old man who teased her when she first started her journey. Vinedia smiled at him and the old man was kinda surprised to see the young girl whom he first saw riding a cow grown up to be a fine young woman and have some strong followers.

The people of Elvennia was so happy to see their queen have finally returned after being away for 7 years. Vinedia now is 21 years old after long years of travelling alone and now she have returned to the throne. After having a welcoming fest which lasted for 3 days 3 nights. Vinedia started a meeting with her ministers for the preparation against the incoming threat from the Calcaem empire. She appointed Gelweintall as her advisor and odered the ministers to give full support to Gelweitall.

Quickly the kingdom starts to recruit people who are able and train them to become soldiers. Gelweintall odered sent out some of his soldiers to nearby populated area to recruit more people to join. They managed to get many people to join and started to train different skills to the people that have been recruited which most of the training is done by Vinedia.

Vinedia teached the art of blacksmith, siegecraft, irrigation to her people and to the raw recruits they learned the art of swordplaying, archery and war tactics with the help of Gelweintall. Vinedia managed to teach all this from what she have learned during her travels.

One day, Gelweintall called Vinedia to see something interesting happened on the training grounds. There Vinedia saw a girl who manage to defeat so many people in a fighting training and she manage to beat her trainer too. Vinedia was inteested with the girl and decided to meet her. Gelweintall said that the girl would make a good standard bearer and weapon support for Vinedia.

"May I know your name?" Vinedia asked the girl.
"Melciene Viemphor but I prefer to be called Miene, my Queen and that person over there is my brother Galcalivern Viemphor!" said the girl smiling while showing to a person who hides himself in dark cloak among the audiences.
"I told you not to tell the queen about me!" Miene's brother shouted from far.
Miene tried to call he brother to meet Vinedia but Galcalivern refuses to meet her. Glacalivern looked at Vinedia for a while and quickly runs away.. (just like I always do ^_^)

"Please excuse my brother, he's a shy person and one more thing, my father sends a message that he apologize for the harsh remarks that he made to you a few years ago."
Vinedia eyes open wide when she head this. "You mean you are the daughter of the person who mocked me when I was riding the cow?"
"Yep, that's why I and my brother are here.. he sends us to aid you. And I could say I'm a lot stonger than that old man."*points to Gelweintall*
"What is it, you wanna fight?!" Gelweintall shouts at the girl angrily making ugly faces.
"Now, now.. calm down.."Vinedia tries to calm down Gelweintall.
Gelweintall managed to calm down and Vinedia told Miene that she wanted Miene to be her standard bearer and weapon support which Miene quickly agreed.

After a while of chatting, they departed with each other with Miene making faces to Gelweintall and Gelweintall did the same in response. Vinedia shakes her head watching the childish behaviour.

The next day, Vinedia is visited by an outsider who comes with a small group of soldiers. The person who looks like the group leader is a young man who looks like in the early 20's and wears a one eyed glasses. Gelweintall was so happy to see the person. He introduced Vinedia to the man who indentifies himself as Felimor Leintein. Felimor told Gelweintall that he managed to track Gelweintall and followed him here and said that he wanted to aid Elvennia in preparing for the oncoming invasion. Gelweintall was so happy upon heaing this and told Vinedia that Felimor is a strong fighter and would prove a valuable addition to the force. Felimo faces turned red but then he looks at Gelweintall seriously.

"Sir Gelweintall, I'm so happy that I met you here...but I come here with bad tidings.."
"What bad could happen that you are here?" asked Gelweintall
"Our city...Leintein have fallen to the Calcaem empire.."

Gelweintall was shocked and couldn't say anything....

Well that's all for the stoooory!
*Runs away as usual*
