" Flora, you sure you are ready for this?" Coach Ramirez's low voice boomed across the training field as she stepped onto the hot sun- drenched lawn, her eyes fixed out toward the horizon.

" I am ready," Flora replied forcefully, her voice steady indeed though her body was tired to the bone." I have come too far to turn back now."

" Every day then's a struggle," intruded Sergeant Morales, clapping her on the shoulder." This is n't training it's surviving. Can you survive?"

Flora squared her shoulders." I can, Morales. I have learned that pain is just another schoolteacher. And I am then to learn."

When the drill began, Flora moved among the other rookies, her voice furnishing stimulant when one of them faltered." Keep it up, Carlos! You are stronger than you suppose."

Carlos blew out in exasperation," I do not know how you do it, Flora. Every rep feels like a struggle against your own limits."

    The Crucible" Flora, stay! You are not giving up yet, are you?" Lieutenant Hernandez's bellow pierced the chaos of the battleground, his voice coarse and constricted with anxiety.Flora, her breathing ragged and her body pulsing with prostration, replied between heaving breaths," I — I am not done, sir. I will not let this master me." Her voice, while strained, was with fierce determination that was communicated to everyone within her vicinity." Each alternate out then's a test," Captain Morales said, stepping near to examine the wounded novitiate." And you, Flora, you are proving to me you've got what it takes. But look at you — your strength is on the edge."Flora jounced her head, clinging her fists as if to actually pull herself together." I flash back my father saying to me,' In the blaze of conflict, true strength is tempered.' Today, I feel that fire blazing inside me. I'll not let these injuries define me; I'll crop from every crack."A dogface standing hard, Carlos, who was

    The Making Of A Legend" Flora, that initiative moment — did you notice how you insulated the adversary's hand?" Captain Morales's voice chimed out across the drill grounds as the rookies gathered latterly, their chatter a combination of wonder and admiration.Flora, her own breathing heavy with exertion, replied," I did, Captain. I had no other choice; they were each over our reverse. I just. I heeded to my gut. I was n't going to let fear take over." Her voice was a subconscious shudder of vulnerability laced with unvarying determination.Lieutenant Hernandez, who stood near with a nod of pride, said," Your politic choices saved us further than formerly today. I have fought in battles where vacillation would have been defeat, but you you fought like a stager."Flora smiled weakly," Thank you, sir. Every choice out then's a step down from who I used to be a step toward who I am supposed to come."A fellow novitiate, Carlos, fitted between breaths, “ I’ve noway seen anyone command the

The voices around her, pigmented with pride and respect, had a soft hum of congratulations.Flora's eyes sparkled as she spoke," Thank you, Captain. I still flash back every moment of pain that led me then, every rejection that I made into a assignment."Lieutenant Hernandez stepped forward, his tone humorless, “ They say you’ve earned every scar, every difficulty. Today, you’re not just Flora — you’re General Smith, a name that carries both your father’s heritage and your own strength. ”Flora's smile was sad as she responded," General Smith It sounds strange to say that, because it makes me flash back the man who used to believe I was fated for greatness. But I have come to realize that my worth is n't defined by his dreams only. I have had to fight every day to forge my own fortune."Marissa, who was standing near by, said vocally," You

    Old Injuries, New Pain“Flora, please just let me speak, ” Adrian contended, his voice pulsing as he approached her in the quiet corridor of the barracks. The murmurs of the other soldiers faded into a heavy silence as he drew near.Flora’s eyes remained distant, her tone cool and measured. “ Adrian, I’ve heard enough justifications. I’m not then to be assured by your regrets. ”Adrian took a shaking breath," I know I have caused detriment that can not be undone, that my absence and neglect left scars I could not abolish. I am truly sorry, Flora. Each day since also, I have wished I had not let you down. I wish I could abolish the pain I have foisted."Flora's reply was gentle hiss," remorse? Your words mean nothing to me now. They are empty monuments of pledges you noway kept."Marissa, who had been moping in the background, slipped in vocally," Adrian, you need to understand — Flora's pain is not something you can simply abolish by giving an reason. It's a crack that bred for times.

I see it in every uncertain regard you give during our briefings.

There is something you need to know about everything about Alice.".Flora frowned, and spoke vocally and warily." What are you indeed saying, Adrian? I have heard the rumors rumors that she was pregnant, that it was all an vision. But I noway allowed you would be involved in something as dishonest."Adrian gasped," It was not a scuttlebutt, Flora. I — I've to admit the gestation you heard about, the one everyone believed was true, was a complete fabrication. A fabrication designed to blackmail me into a marriage I noway wanted.".Flora's breathing hitched, her voice pulsing with outrage and shock," What are you saying? You mean. Alice's gestation was a sham? You are telling me it was faked?Adrian's eyes glistered with remorse and despair." Yes, Flora. I was deceived — by factors within the pack, by individualities
