Part 26

“The forty-four of you are already a very distinct group due to your cohesiveness and your abilities as warlocks, and it’s our intention to keep you together as a military unit. Your number will be your collective name and title, as it already informally is. We further intend that when your training is more complete, The Forty-Four, Warlock Platoon of Princes and Princesses of Hilia, will be widely known as the most formidable unit of its size in all of The Just Alliance!”

This brought a proud cheer from the forty-four and some of The Volunteers as well, and Six let it go on for a few seconds before he finished. “Now you’d better get your weapons and armor ready and checked. We’ll be finished eating pretty soon.”

When they were finished eating, the Governors gathered beside Mark, went to one knee, and bowed their heads in respect.

“If it’s something that we wouldn’t approve of, I’ll happily remain ignorant, I think!” Talia laughed.

“We just let them get to know us some, and let them know all their parents as we know our parents.” Six shrugged with a grin.

“And we made them think we hit them in the face a few times, but we didn’t.” Fire giggled. “Not really. But it was really funny.”

Well that doesn’t sound too excessive.” Mark chuckled. “You children run along and play now, be good and stay
