not you nolio X(

Walking out, defeated, Destroyyoutoo walked towards the regiment with General Torqez.  He gestured towards the Charot.  "You will be riding in there, with the others.  It is best at this time that you do not know where you are headed."

It was a peculiar thing really, with two large, wooden wheels holding up the carriage.  There were iron legs to support the front of the carriage when it was in motion, which of course, was powered by more slaves, ones that looked like what would now be workers on his farm.  A Charot could be used for transport or supplies, or, when needed, both.

A soldier opened up the door on the back of the Charot, and Destroyyoutoo climbed in, taking one last wistful look at his home for the last 12 years.  As he turned towards the inside, he noticed more people that looked like him, of the Kamba race.  They were tanned deeply, were very well developed physically for their age, which as far as he could tell was around his.

He made eye contact with the Kambaan furthest in the back, who's glare cut through him like a knife.  Not a very friendly bunch.  He sat near one that looked halfway social, hoping he would not be spurned.

"Oh, don't mind Undeath," he said in a hushed voice.  "He always has some bug under his skin, or whatever is his new reason for hating someone."  He gave a gentle smile.

"Oh..  Okay..," Destroyyoutoo responded.

"How terrible of myself not to introduce myself.  My name is evilsheep, but you can call mee Es for short.  Please to meet you."  He gave that infectious smile again, and Destroyyoutoo couldn't help but feel a little more calmed. 

Maybe this would work out after all.  He could see the world, albeit not like he wanted to, but how bad could it be?

"I am Destroyyoutoo, nice to meet you.  How do you know Undeath?"

Es glanced over at Undeath.  Oh, I've known the little bugger all my life.  I say known loosely, because we've never been frie... Oof!"  Everyone in the cart bounced high in the air.  Destroyyoutoo heard a scream and cursing from the soldiers, and then the cart bounced once more, not as bad this time.

"Stupid slaves," a Kamba muttered.

Destroyyoutoo's hopes were raised.  Perhaps he could be a war hero, and become rich and feared all throughout the land.  Perhaps he could go back to his mother with his fortune and all their financial troubles would be over.  And maybe, he had just made a friend to help get him through this.

Erm, weren't you retiring?

There was no way out.  There were at least 20 soldiers, four of them archers.  Even if he could outrun the soldiers he would certainly die from a barbed arrow.  It is rumored that the archers are the best in all of Jataan.

Destroyyoutoo looked at KT, who had by now passed out and was being carried inside by two soldiers.  He did not want to leave her, but knew he had no choice in the matter.  No matter which decision he made, he would have to leave his beloved mother.

Tears started filling his eyes.  But he could not cry in front of the general; he must show his strength.  But how could he?  What was he trying to prove?  He was a 12 year old child being torn away from his mother, possibly never to see again, and was probably going to die.

If was tears they wanted, he would refuse to give them to them.  "I will join and serve The Righteous," Destroyyoutoo said with a slight crack in his voice.  He cursed himself for it.

"Excellent," the general said with a smile.  "You will need no time to pack things, we will provide everything for you.  My name is General Torqez, and I will be in charge of your training.  You have little time to say goodbye to your family.  Go now."

Sprinting, Destroyyoutoo went into the house.  He wanted to spend as much time as possible with KT before he had to leave.

She laid in her bed, just waking up.  Destroyyoutoo sat next to her.  "My son....  What have you decided?" she gently whispered, quiet enough that Destroyyoutoo had to get closer to hear.  "I will join The Righteous, but only because I must.  I leave very soon."

KT started to whimper.  "They have murdered my husband..  Now they will kill my son..  You must promise me one thing.  Promise me you will come back.  You must not die; if you die, the family bloodline dies with you.  I will live every day anticipating your arrival.  Please don't disappoint me.."

Without General Torqez around, Destroyyoutoo was unabashed when he shed a tear.  "I promise KT.  I will be back.  You have my word."

KT was crying uncontrollably when he came in.  "Destroyyoutoo, it is time," General Torqez stated simply.

omfg he is beyond persistant. gooooooo kirkle!

The highest paid teacher in our district was like 60k.  Just checked and pay for private school is between 29k-75k.  So on average, its likely that private is paid more.  I don't have time to look now, but I can check tomorrow how accurate that is

lol?

If you offer more money for a certain job, more intelligent people would go to it.  I, for one, wanted to teach, glanced at the salary and laughed.

Also, teachers are severely underpaid.  Dunno why you think they get paid a lot.

Ugh, Indiana.

sux0rs.  And drive on the not main roads, those are the ones that can do some damage

After our opping war '76 still doesn't have agents?

lolwtf
