House Rokranon Roleplay

[Kaden Asen]

Just after midnight on the land north of the orphanage a few dozen men can be seen scrambling around, the man obviously directing them walking around with a stout staff in hand.. . . .It began with thirty. . .

Thedran got the the men into a rough set of ranks, he had been careful to be sure the shouting that was to follow would be out of range of the sleeping city, and farmers. After giving them a withering glare, he starts to march back in forth before the front rank.

"I asked. . ya offered. Dun matter now. . ya 'ere so 'ere is how it'll be. Sir Rokranon. . . ."

He offers a short pause and glare. . .

"-Every- time I say that name and we're in rank. . ya will stop ya left foot. . .So let meh try again. . .. . "

He squares off with the formation, his arms crossed"

"-Sir Rokranon-"

In the short, but obvious pause there is a muffled thud of boot heels striking the ground.

"Gah! Ya a bunch of children!? I said ya -stomp- ya foot. . not set it down! Ya gonna pay for that!"

His response with instant, the veins in his neck, and forhead pulsing with his obvious anger. Clearly visible even in the torch light

"ANYHOW! Sir Rokranon. . . .Still not loud enough!. . 'e approved of meh creatin a proper guard for 'is 'ouse. Ya men are it. . "

He goes back to passing infront of the formation

"Not all of ya are gonna become apart of 'is guard. . cause ya gonna quit. Ya gonna think I'm a mean bastard. . .CAUSE I AM!. Ya gonna not 'ave the grit for duties. . or the steel for pride. Dun matter. . .I want -soldiers- I dun want boys with swords. . ."

He stops pacing and turns to face the formation again. . his face turning into a scowl.

" Now. . .. . it starts -now- If ya look behind ya, ya'll find the rocks. . .we'll start with those "

All through the night and into the morning Thedran makes the men sort through one brutaly harsh activity after the other, the only constant during every test is the combersome rock he makes each man carry. . . After the sun reaches it's height in the sky, he calls the men off. . taking them back towards the city. . Until the following night. . .When it all happens again
