Alex and Joe were taken on tour through the base by a lively young man with long brown hair tied in a ponytail. He was fit and had cheekiness in his eyes. He was about half a head taller than Alex himself. His name was Ditisio.
Ditisio pointed at everything and gave them a unique backstory. He pointed at the crack in the wall and said, "That wall has been through a lot, It survived several explosions from Yin and survived. That crack was made by no other than the captain himself! "
"What happened? Tell me! Tell me! " Joe said excitedly.
"It... " Ditisio struck a pose with his left hand on his forehead and his right on his waist. "The captain just got mad at me and punched the wall. "
"Oh... " Joe deflated.
"It was scary! He cracked a wall that explosions could not scratch! "
They continued on with their way with the tour. When they passed a door, a scream was heard from beneath them. The door was pitch black and securely boarded up. Joe asked what was through the door. Ditisio explained, "Long ago, there was a beast that even the head knight, Julius, could not best. However, the captain had became good friends with it and offered it shelter. Now it lies there in the day and prowl the wood at night to hunt. "
"Woah! " Joe regained his interest and continued eagerly waiting for Ditisio's next tale.
Something had been bothering Alex for some time. After they reached the next floor, Alex finally asked, "I thought knights HQ was supposed to be polished. But this place seems more like a castle to me. "
"Oh, well, The Nameless Shadows aren't really.... 'welcomed' among the other knights. " Ditisio scratched the back of his head.
"Why? " Joe asked.
"First off, the captain is quite rude towards the other knight captains. Secondly, we do the dirty work of the country, so those 'nobles' and 'royalty' wouldn't want to mix with us. Lastly, the job of a knight is to take out or capture those with natural powers... But the captain accepts them into the squad. Most of us here have a certain power, so don't be sur- "
The wall beside them blew up.
