Ambition of an Emperor [Plot/Training]

It had begun, Angelus' climb within the Reim military. It truly was initiated once he were to pledge his undying fealty to the authority of Reim. Having impressed a legion as a mercenary, blessed Angelus was given the opportunity to join a legion alongside some others who had helped Reim when in need. It was a major stepping stone in the beginning of the journey for the young man thirsting to grow stronger. In only a few minutes now, Angelus were to be woken to join the rank and file of his legion he had been designated to. It would be there that Angelus was to be made an official Legionary of the Reim Republic, with the duty of protecting the nation. However, when sworn in, Angelus were to uphold this duty far more violently and zealously than the majority of his peers, for better of for worse. In his eyes, Reim had fallen from its once glorious state. It was his passion to see Reim thrive great.

Centurion: "Sunrise is here! Line up! Your designated positions will be set today and we will begin basic training!"

With the first glimpse of the morning light, an officer of the legion were to cry out to the resting recruits about to be sworn in as Legionaries. It was a highly respected position in Reim, alongside the Fanalis Corps. However, the legions had fallen in strength overtime as Fanalis Corps grew. It gave rise to very influential figures now like the undeniable leader of the Reim Republic, Octavius, leader of Fanalis Corps. A few years ago now the government changed and whatever backbone the nation had was lost to the weak.

Angelus was a young teenager when this had occurred. There were others like Angelus whom loathed a Reim Republic, believing it made a nation weak without a main command. Angelus believed Reim was destined to one day return as an Empire, a new one forged by a new fated Emperor. For now, he were to just simply climb up Reim's military, and attain great power and authority.

Arising from his deep slumber, Angelus were to peel back his tent's opening to unveil the morning light. It were to shine upon the faces of his other comrades. Yawning and stretching her arms, a woman known as Nerilla were to face the radiating morning, opening her eyes as she then covered them. In the tent one other soldier were to wake. It was the man whom Angelus had rescued from a battle the other day. Angelus had been pestered a lot by Nerilla, but she would seem to be a capable ranger, so Angelus were to tolerate her. Nerilla may have been quite talkative, but was someone that Angelus could rely on.. as a friend.

It was not very common for him to rely on people as a friend, but Nerilla seemed to be very genuine of a person. Aureus on the other hand, he was an experienced legionary that had to now be ordered into a new squadron due to his previous sadly dying. Aureus owed his life to Angelus, and pledged to help Angelus as he was not only his savior, but a capable warrior with vast potential. Experienced with the way of life of a Legionary, Aureus bolted up from his sleep and prepared to line up. It seemed to be an innate trait of Aureus now, from years of battle and training.

So, together alongside his new comrades, Angelus were to line up and stand by for the official event of joining the legion. In only a moment though, the legate of the legion were to appear before Angelus and co. It was a well built man, garbed in a unique high quality Reim gear, sporting purple hair, and slight tan skin. Marius was his name. Shouting aloud, no hesitation in his voice, Marius asked of the new recruits to repeat after him an oath of the duty of the legion. Hundreds were to chant out loud the oath, placing closed fists over their very chest. It resonated loud.

New Legionaries: "We pledge our faith and loyalty in the Republic! We shall not desert the service, and shall not avoid death for the Republic!"

It roared loud to the blue skies of Reim, traveling far, scaring nearby birds to fly away from the loud pledge. Now began Angelus' training. Vowing to train harder than all of his peers, Angelus were to train extra hours following hours of already intense training set up by his legion. During his beginning of training, his legion were to be notified of a floating rumor in which the council had got a word of. It required the legion Angelus had just joined to travel to the province of Ibania for investigating. It was a secret task however, so Angelus himself would not know why he and his legion were headed to Ibania for.

However, along the way, Angelus had made great effort in honing his swordsmanship and packing more muscle atop his frame. It was an arduous few weeks, but training vigorously and eating food that were high in nutrients and protein were to pay off. Angelus trained his body and mind to be sharp, to wake at dawn, to cut a leaf falling from a tree with his gladius.
