Training excercises {fifth cohort/ remus, lyn, ryan}

[Deleted]

"This isn't something for winning, Rogers." Ronan said while he took a step into the woods. He was fairly quite but you could only do so much when the rest of the cohort was crashing about like a bull through a china shop. He had some rice paper in the forge, that will be what he retrieved after this circus was over. "It's for the good of the legion. but maybe after this, I'm going to submit a proposal for some of these fools to be placed in other spots for duty." Something, anything was better then having these people crash about pretending to be soldiers. Some could look after supply lines, stock, caring for the horses, become field medics, ANYTHING but do what their simple one job was to do. "Mark those two teams over there for guard duty later on this week." Ronan said nodding at two legacy groups who were trying to take the exercise seriously. A daughter of Bellona and a legacy of mars. The other group was a legacy of Mercury and a child of the minor gods he believed. Deep down, ronan was grateful that there was some semblance of someone trying to take this seriously.

There was the sound of screams and Ronan turned. "I think we're far enough in Rogers, keep a good eye on everyone." HE said with a nod and a salute. After walking quietly in the sound of the screams. It looked as if Remus had gotten ahold of a pair of Venus girls. HE gave a quiet inner chuckle. Remus had quite the handy work, Ronan had to give him that. Though he was surprised to not hear the sound of the dogs. Maybe next time if they did another excercise like this, he'd have to see if he could make some automaton animals to terrorize the cohort. That was a bloody brilliant idea. MAybe he could talk Chris and Charlie into helping him in the arena with his cohort. A good ass kicking by first could help. Not that fifth didn't constantly get their asses kicked by anything and everything.... he was going to change that.

"Oh hells bells" HE groaned as he heard some more whimpering and screams. He came across a smaller girl that was face down in the dirt, her leg twisted at an odd angle and her partner was no where to be found. Ronan smacked his forehead with his hand. He was pretty sure that by the end of this exercise, he would have a perminent facial mark on his forehead from where he was going to face palm. "Up you get...." Ronan quickly made a makeshift splint for the girl, she was so small, just a tad bit bigger than lyn or nova. She was a daughter of Aquillion. HE could tell by her cold skin. "Hold on tight till I can get you to the edge of the forest." Ronan easily picked her up and toted her back through the woods before plopping her down on the edge of woods before motioning for a medic to come and attend to the little girl. "Get the name of who was supposed to be her partner and the last direction they went in!" he barked. Then he headed back into the woods with the rest of the circus.

Josh had never been known for being the most serious guy in the world, neither the most responsible, in fact since he was a kid he had never had those titles. At home his step-father always said he was disgrace, at Camp his centurions always reminded him how bad was someone who always stole stuff from others or who never was in practices... back then fifth cohort trained like an hour everyday, so when they scolded him for not being there was because he really wasn't there... at any hour! Well, It was something that Joshua never cared about, the son of mercury thought that he was more productive if he trained on his own, if he trained not only his warrior's skills and abilities, but also the abilities that his father granted him with.

When the years passed, he also noticed that his cohort wasn't only the worst in Camp and that usually people in there didn't care about training or be good romans, but also that other cohorts knew it and also mocked at it. Josh then started to steal things from those who mocked, but also trained as a warrior harder, it had to be useful at some point that he was a grandson of the great God of war. Then before the war they had a cool centurion, Vivian, she used to be dating a son of Mars from First, so she had many good ideas to make the cohort stronger, and maybe if War hadn't stuck on them, she would had had the time to complete her ideas, but she couldn't. She retired and well... few months ago she died as a traitor to the gods, so... well not good for the Fifth cohort.

Then... Ronan Redpath was selected to be the new centurion of the Fifth cohort. Ronan... the hermit that burnt everything... Joshua had nothing against that idea, why? well he had seen Ronan training, he had seen him on a battle and also he had read his file! He knew ronan was perfectly capable to become a perfect centurion which in that moment, in that early morning, was being checked. In Josh's point of view, ronan was making a very good job. So when The Centurion asked him to be serious about it, he changed his attitude and smiled sincerly at him. "don't worry, I'll have a well done list by the end of the exercise." He took a small notepad and wrote the names of the guys ronan told him about. then also the ones for guard duty.

When Ronan told him, they had walked into the forest enough, he separated from Ronan and started his check up about the other teams. After some minutes he heard of the Venus girls, he ran to check and rolled his eyes, he wrote down the names but didn't let Remus or the girls to see him. then he continued checking around, he found a team with a son of Baccus and a daughter of proserpina, both were chatting about how sleepy they were, how evil ronan was, what would they do after the exercise. Josh got their names and then shook his head, in that way the cohort would never get... strong enough! He continued walking and a bit further he saw other couple two girls, a legacy of Somnia and a daughter of cupid. They seemed to be trying to do it well, to be quiet and to look for the object, but they were still clumsy and whispered among them a lot. Josh also wrote down that and continued.

Ronan seemed to be very determined about what he wanted to accomplish after that exercise, so Lilith decided that she wasn't going to ruin that day for him, at least not consiously. He was right on wanting to make that cohort stronger, at least to be helpful in battle and not only to make the enemy and the Camp laugh at them. then other element that could help her to not being so bad at it was that she wasn't going to be alone during the exercise, Marie Winters was going to be with her, and even when they didn't know each other very well, Marie seemed to be a very nice girl, so why not?! Then Marie replied to her and Lilith smiled at her team mate.

"You're right! Maybe he can make us work as a team, maybe finally fifth cohort won't be the source of laughs and mockering and the most important thing, maybe it won't have so many dead members at the end of the war." she said and then smiled saddly at Marie. fifth cohort had had many deaths in the past war, most of them didn't even remember how to hold a sword! "ok, let's go! I hope we do a good performance." she smiled and started walking with Marie into the forest. it was something different, and walking to that place brought her not ver good memories, in fact painful ones. So she felt how her heart beat rised and she felt the anxiety of finding anything in there, the image of vivian attacking her came to her mind once more.

Tag: Ryan, Remus, Fifth Words: 1196 Notes: Just trying to catch up a bit

I'd rather sleep my whole life away The unpleasant sound of people moving around disturbed Miyuki's sleep, not that it was very difficult. She'd always been a very light sleeper., something she obtained from her grandfather she supposed. His twin learned to step so lightly he was known as silent death. She wondered who could sneak better, her great uncle or Mercury. She had to admit she was partial to her great uncle, because she loved her father. He spoke highly of Death, so she feared neither him nor his children. She knew a few of his grandchildren at least, they hadn't seemed too bad. Lilith was in her cohort of course, and that Gunnar was in second. She was old enough to remember the boy. Quiet as he was. she still could hear his soft rustling footsteps, his breathing. When they were younger at any rate. He had already been in the legion a little while when she came in, and it wasn't too much later when he seemed to disappear. She had thought he died, but once in a while she would catch a glimpse of him around camp. More often recently. His supposed death was simply his recruitment into some rather unsavory jobs for the camp, not that she knew that much. Miyuki only knew he seemed to disappear, and reappear at times. Her eye opened a slit to watch the people around her. She didn't like people moving anywhere near her bunk, and they seemed to move a bit sluggish getting their gear and leaving out through the door. What was that? She sat up quietly, letting her feet touch the cool floor. Softly she stepped towards the door peeking out, but a paper was in the way. She frowned at it a moment before realization came to mind. Centurion Redpath's message, the 330 am training. The last time she had one of those....who was she kidding, no one ever ran them up that earlier in fifth cohort. Hustling a bit back to her locker she looked around and found the flashlight at her bed. Clicking it on she turned the dial on her locker opening it up. She wasn't particularly bothered with being quiet, but inevitably she was more quiet than those who had just left. Something of a habit. She pulled open the lock and smiled as she opened it, not a sound from her well oiled hinges. The flashlight in her mouth as she tried to aim it at that she was pulling out and shoving in her arms. That was about when the main door to the female barracks was thrown open and a light flickered on along with a familiar booming voice. Miyuki pressed her teeth turning her flashlight off and looking at her centurion grabbing peoples mattress and throwing them over. Girls screaming and scrambling to get up and out before he flipped their bed as well. Hair curlers scattering across the floor. Fire, more screaming. Then he seemed to migrate over to the boys barracks. Miyuki was not the type of girl to primp, but she did like to wash up, comb her hair, eat breakfast, and start her day at a more leisurely pace. Not today apparently. She should have stayed up when that girl snuck into the barracks at midnight. Third bed from the end if she could pin point the foot steps in her sleep. She might tell Ronan, er Redpath. She was still getting used to calling him by his last name. In a huff Miyuki made it in time, a bit early considering she already had her things in her arms. In fact she could even see Redpath walking back into position as she ran up. Time to armor up, though she eyed the packs off to the side. They looked near stuffed. Little map cases too if she wasn't mistaken. She broke open her water bottle, and took a bit of that. She had to skip washing, and the morning bathroom break. This was already a great start to the day. At least her bed wasn't on fire. Find and retrieve an object, interesting. Time to play some kakurenbo, hide and seek. She adjusted her weapons, more than one of course. The gladius she was told to train with, a survival knife, and a nicely balanced throwing knife. None too small either. There was also a small roll of piano wire, but she hardly planned on using that. It was more of a deadly strike kind of thing. Though since it was this kind of thing, she'd try to avoid hurting anyone at all. Lillith and Marie, quite a tranquil team there. A few other people picked up partners, and really Miyuki was quite content to watch everyone pair up. Redpath took Josh on his team. A Ceres girl seemed scared enough after what happened in the cohort, and hadn't paired up with anyone. Miyuki offered her hand, and they grabbed their bags. They were quite heavy, almost as if she were trying to pick up one of the girls in her barrack. She back and shoulders popped a bit, and she rolled them around trying to get comfortable as she adjusted the straps. The poor little thing couldn't even pick up her own pack, so Miyuki looked around for Redpath and rummaged through the girls pack, to pull out the weights and put them into her own. She winked and put a finger to her lips for the girl to keep quiet about it. A hundred fifty pounds might not have been too great on her, considering Miyuki weighed maybe a hundred fifteen herself. The girl probably didn't even weigh a hundred, so she'd just get Josh to give her a back rub later or something. Maybe those Venus girls knew a good place. Everyone was so loud, Miyuki tried to help the girl be more quiet in the brush. Picking out a nice large walking stick for both herself and the girl, Miyuki showed her why she needed to pick on taller than she was and how to swing it if needed Trying to teach her how to step lightly, considering she was a daughter of Ceres it wasn't too difficult to teach her. She seemed to have learned a few curse words as well, which Miyuki attempted to remedy. Giving her new, more interesting words to use instead. Loathsome abomination, balderdash, deceitful snake, untoward for the most part she was having fun with the types of phrases to teach the girl. The pack was getting more than a little heavy, she took a bit of a pause to drink water. She looked at the ground trying to look at the prints, but with how people had trudged through here It was nearly impossible to find any trace of the people who were here before. For the most part she could only look around blindly for those three who might have the item. The girl expectantly reached up to touch Miyuki's forehead, but she blocked the small hand with her own gloved one. A smile on her face as she pat the girl. It was warm with her leather gloves on, but it was necessary. Than have you keep me from dreaming Lyrics from Fairytale by Sara Bareilles Code done by step
