RPOVSongs: Put a Flower in Your Pocket by The Arcs, Stranglehold by Ted NugentI hadn't just decided on one of my least favorite punishments, that would've been too easy. So, I decided to enforce them all. I expected at least one of the men to crack eventually and was in no way surprised to find it be Belikov. I was actually counting on it.So far, he had been too calm, too collected, and I wanted to see him lose control. I couldn't have been happier when he challenged me to a fight; it was a win-win situation. I would not only get to kick his sorry ass for disrespecting me but would also finally get to see what he was made of.However, that excitement quickly morphed into massive disappointment. My first few attacks weren't even up to my full speed or power, and he was having serious trouble keeping up. The stench of stale beer and rank sweat from the afternoon's activities was a sure sign that he was still hungover. I tried another few quick maneuvers to get a feel for his skill, b

DPOVSong: Kiss the Sky by Shawn Lee's Ping Pong, I Need A Forest Fire by James BlakeAs the night carried on I deftly watched her out of the corner of my eye, examining her in what was supposed to be our night off. A few of the men had set up some fires for us to gather around and brought in some barrels of ale and wine. At first, I wondered if Rose even had the ability to be carefree, but as I observed her I quickly noticed a lighter side of her I hadn't expected.She was right, I really knew nothing about her.I had expected her to sit in a corner with Ashford and Castile, glaring at the rest of us as we indulged in our free time. But I was pleased to find my assumptions were completely wrong. She laughed with her friends, toasted with a few camp members, and even blatantly flirted with some of the men. Not that anyone believed it would actually lead to anything. There was no denying that she was an attractive woman and that coupled with her resilient attitude and high rank made he

DPOVSongs: It's Hard to Get Around the Wind by Alex Turner, What's in My Head by Fuzz"See you for demonstrations tomorrow, Coimheach." Her wild hair seemed to roll through the air as the wind cascaded along her dark waves. It appeared to have a mind of its own much of the time, but as I watched her jog away I felt somewhat entranced by it as the moonlight danced across those deep brown strands.I had finally become curious enough to ask what that term meant that she had deemed me as on more than one occasion. I discovered from a local troop member that it was often used to describe a stranger or foreigner—not all that clever if you really thought about it. Normally, she used it as a derogatory comment or an insult that admittedly stung a little, but tonight there was a hint of playfulness behind it that I hadn't heard before. Seeing that small, devilish grin that accompanied it made me think that maybe I didn't mind it so much anymore.I turned back towards my tent to see Daisy star

RPOVA few years prior to becoming Marshall, I had tried to fit myself into a particular mold. Someone who was sensible, someone who didn't act rashly without thinking first—admittedly one of my more deprecating faults—someone who my family could have been proud of. It wasn't always easy, pushing aside my most primal instincts, but eventually, I had come to some sort of happy medium that I could be satisfied with.Now, I wouldn't necessarily describe myself as a pragmatic person, although it's certainly something I strived to be, but I could at least trust in my gut. I relied on it from time to time when I was on the verge of lashing out or unsure of what move to make, and it usually seemed to steer me in the right course. However, now I had no idea what to trust in. My head, heart, and gut were all screaming at me, begging me to make a choice that followed the correct path. But each path seemed to lead to a dead end and the deafening cries were nowhere close to being answered. I wasn

RPOVSong: Strong - RAC Remix by London GrammarSeveral days after the incident with the Strigoi, things were finally getting back to normal. Although Guardians were well trained to be prepared for such instances, it still caused unrest within the kingdom. Understandably so, since blood-sucking demons almost took out a well-known member of the Dashkov line.Natalie had told her father she had been down passed the wards to tend to some of the gardens out there. It wasn't entirely unbelievable since she was an exceptional earth user and especially indulged in her skills with herbology. I supposedly stumbled upon her after she had "lost track of time", and the rest was history. I was more than willing to keep Victor in the dark regarding her other...activities of the evening but gave a full detailed report on everything that had happened thereafter.It had been quite some time since a Strigoi sighting in the area occurred and I took it very seriously. Extra men were set up on guard at al
