2 Shadow (1/2)

After all the children left the ground only Ajax and elder boron are standing on the open ground.

”Ajax, do you have anything to say about nightmares to me? ”, asked elder born slowly.

” yes elder, I think my training should increase, lately the intensity of the nightmares are increasing”, said Ajax hurriedly.

”There is no need to increase your training..”

”But my nightmares??”, before elder finished his sentence Ajax interjected in panic.

” No need to worry, I have a solution, that's why I ask you to wait” said the elder

”Really” Ajax asked quickly.

” Yes, come to my room tomorrow morning by 5 A.M. I will take you to a place”, said the elder mysteriously.

”Where”, Ajax asked expectedly.

”What's the hurry, You will know tomorrow. So be ready and don't be late”, elder reminded him once again.

” Ok then elder, I will return to my room now”, by saying that he run off quickly in the direction of orphanage.

Elder stood there watching the silhouette of Ajax and mumbled something.

As soon as Ajax reached his room, he friends Damon and Hector who are waiting for him said ”Ajax come quickly, otherwise we will miss our dinner if we go late”.

Ajax also know that if you go late there will be no food for you that night, so he hurriedly washed his face and rushed to the dinning hall.

Although the food given to them is not good it's not bad either. It's better than most common people that only eat brown bread and congee.

But it is still not enough to make up for their training, so they did some miscellaneous works like cutting wood, selling animal skins they hunted, etc and earn some money for nutritious food.

Also , all children who are above 15 years old should leave the orphanage regardless whether they enlisted to military or not.
