While the weapons training makes some of the other recruits get cocky, I can tell that today is different. They might be able to swing a sword or use a bow more effectively than the rest of us, but that doesn"t mean anything when they"re faced with a fire breathing dragon at least fifty times their size.
Which is ironic, given the fact that"s what we"re supposed to be training in order to take on. I haven"t been brave enough to ask about what the mortality rates for the Defenders are, but I haven"t seen anyone old while living in the compound. Of course, I could be generous and think that those people have retired from the life and are now living out their days in luxury and comfort.
