Trysta finished washing the mud off her face, "do you see that light over there in the distance," she said pointing to a rotating light near the Headquarters of the Twenty Seventh. "Each time there is a new Commander of the watch, that light turns off and on twice before resuming normal operations."

Once she was sure he knew what she was talking about she continued, "you have till that light goes off to ask me anything you wish. I will speak truthfully. But I warn you, lie to me and that will be the end of it."

She reached down once more with her hands and scooped up some water. She slowly took a sip, "ahhhhh," I love the water here. It reminds me of where we would train back on Fray. There was a creek just at the boarder of the field. We used to bath and play in that creek after Training."

She looked up to the moons, "it was the only times I could remember where I truly felt safe."
