[Soldier]

Colin nodded. “Armed, equipped and ready, are ye?” he asked cheerfully before grabbing the Sea Elf by the arm and dragging her off. The first thing Colin did was show her to the area where all aquatic creatures were kept. It was a large building built directly over the flowing river, and next to it was the barracks where the aquatic members of the clan slept. He knocked once and entered, revealing a hallway through to the back. The back held a door that led onto a balcony, under which the river flowed noisily. A wooden slide and a rope ladder decended to the water. The interior had been divided into two large rooms, one for the males and the other for the females. Furs lined the floor against the wall to create sleeping areas, and a large stove provided heat in each area. No one was inside, so Colin led the girl into one side and directed her to take a sleeping area.

“Once you are situated, we will begin to teach you our ways. Mind ye don’t be takin’ one o’ th’ areas already claimed, hear?” Each sleeping area consisted of a pile of furs, a chest large enough to hold equipment and a rack for weapons. “Make yerself comfortable an’ I’ll be meetin’ ye outside when ye’re ready.” With that, he turned and left Ilista alone to get acquainted with her new home.
