The four team-mates, Sira, Zenith, Jaimus and Valencia listen to the Victoria and Osyrria council speak to the crowd of gathered fighters from both lands. It has been three days since the battle in the Cave of Trials. Sitting Bull and Tylus has called a meeting for all the fighters gathered in Ossyria.

"Long have our lands been in feud over past incidents and beliefs," explains Tylus. "Long have my brother and I been unable to see eye to eye when it comes to training and commanding an army of warriors."

Tylus and Sitting Bull exchange looks and nod.

"What the recent events have taught us," he continues. "What the actions of some people have taught us…"

Sira feels Tylus and Sitting Bull's gaze on her and her friends.

"…Is that we have been governed by greed and fear," finishes by saying Tylus.

"We in Victoria feared the 3rd job power because of misuse in the pass," Says Sitting Bull this time. "While my brother in Ossyria embraced it and developed means of controlling it. We can not make up for the lives lost, the time wasted. However we can learn from our past mistakes and move on through compromise."

Sira feels a hand slip onto hers. She looks at Zenith through the corner of her eye, but he doesn't take his gaze away from the council at the front of the room. The assassin wraps his hand around hers and gives it a light squeeze. Sira feels her cheeks become warm and red.

"We will continue to train new warriors, magicians, rogues and archers on Victoria Island," explains Master Hynes of Ellinia. "However, when they reach the 3rd job level, Tylus, Robeira and the others of the Ossyrian council will take over the training for those who wish to continue.

"The team system has shown that the different classes compliment each other very well," explains Athena of Henesys. "They will not be mandatory for everyday training, but for certain missions we shall once again implement the use of mix classes."

"This will also be implemented and used in Ossyria," explains Robeira.

"Some of you have requested to remain in your teams for training," says Dark Lord. "That is acceptable as well."

Jaimus winks at his team-mates. Valencia, Zenith and Sira answer with a small smile. A few seconds of silence pass before the leaders continue.

"Have you any questions?" asks Tylus.

Jaimus raises his hand after pondering something quickly.

"Sirs," he says after standing up. "Victoria Island has lived through a great loss. You speak of training new fighters but there are no more. Entire armies, clans and families were killed."

Athena gestures for Jaimus to be seated.

"Your question is well thought," says the leader of the Archer army. "While we mourn the loss of those who passed on, we always think about the future of Victoria Island. Since the destruction in Victoria, we the leaders of the armed forces have made steps to recruit people who wish to be trained to fight, who wish to help rebuild and make Victoria their home. On a small island to the south west of Victoria Island, named Maple Island, there is a large population of farmers and fishermen. A great number of them have already shown interest in training on our lands."

Jaimus leans over to Valencia and whispers discreetly to her.

"We get to play with little noobies," says Jaimus.

"Shush you," she whispers back. "You're so rude."

"Please mama can I keep him as a pet?" continues Jaimus.

Valencia gives Jaimus a tap on the arm. She keeps her serious manner but she can't help but smile for just a second.

"You're such a dork," she answers.

Sira who overhears Valencia looks at Jaimus and gestures yes by nodding slightly. She mouths the words "She's right." Jaimus playfully does a shocked expression. Zenith shakes his head and rolls his eyes.

"With our new training system in place," says Sitting Bull, "as well as our new found allies in Ossyria, we will become stronger. So go forth and aid where you can. The new recruits from Maple Island will come, train them hard… Their story has just begun."
