(12 units old)

N'aik san naseraee tapped a winking symbol on the control panel.
the Sangheili lettering pulsed green then started to flash. N'iak reached for a blue letter. the panel made a whirring noise an opened u showing a holographic image of a military plasma rifle.

The Sangheili teacher walked over to N'aik ,her robe's billowing behind. She reached down and put a data block into N'aik's teaching panel.

"well done young one. tap this symbol twice" said T'wiak Ake kalamaee , pointing at a red dot in the corner of his holo-screen

"yes Sanyeal(the name of a sangheili teacher)" N'aik obeyed. The plasma rifle blinked once and dissasebled.

"memorise the pattern student"

"done Sanyeal" N'aik focused on the pattern

Sanyeal T'wiak handed N'aik a plasma rifle.

"take it apart and bring me the core. Without the bruns please" said T'wiak turning around to address another student.

"ok i can do this" said N'aik ,pulling the top casing off.

the top lights pulsed warning symbols .
The light intensified and started to burn red.
N'aik ripped the power chords from the light and pulled it out.
below was a glowing green crystal. N'aik reached down and tryed to remove the crystal. his skin blistered and burnt his hand.
he whipped it away cursing silently to himself. his second finger was bleeding.
N'aik raised his good hand still seething from the injury

"Sanyeal could i have a pair of hand protectors? And some healing solvent to please?"

"yes Tayn N'aik(tayn:student in sangheili)"she sighed." again"

"meh"

T'wiak reached down and picked up the mutilated rifle. she tapped something then pulled out the glowing core.
N'aik frowned unable to tell why it hadn't burnt her like himself.
she passed the core to N'aik. he took it flinching slightly as expecting the battery to spring to life and burn his hand off.
he put it back into the rifle and ressembled the weapon. this time he didn't get burnt taking the core out (with the help of had protector's). He didn't come first in the exam but didn't fail though.

Blurriness clouded N'aik's vision. The excersise had left him sick and injured. basic training was easy but training to be in a warrior creche was difficult. He was made to run through the hunting preserve (even through the R'lion herd). He was broadsided by a pack leader and injured by the horn. When the Medical Domo had patched up the wound, he started walking back down to his warrior creche barracks.

as he strolled thorugh the metal doors he was created with a chorus of jeers
"well done N'aik!"
"made freinds with a R'lion!"
"he'll come back for you!"

N'aik replied with a chorus of angry swearwords and cut several other warriors down to size

"not very wise to anger a R'lion pack leader"said his freind behid a data pad.
sti'nai looked up and grinned, mandibles splayed wide.
"yeah well for reference i dind't see any of you run through the hunting preserve."said N'aik

"well we really were to busy walking around th edge to stop the R'lion following us" Replied sti'nai. he must have not told me about the other route thought N'aik.

"oh and do you remember our old teacher?"said sti'nai looking back down to his reading panel.

"do you mean sayeal T'wiak?"said N'aik recounting his old teacher.

"yeah, well turns out she had a daughter around the same time we were all born."

"she never said"

"well shes coming into our warrior creche"

"female warriors?"

"well more of a intelligence soldier than frontline fighter but yeah. part of a new scheme to promote warrior socialness"

"ahh"

"yeah . compition for her hand is gonna really tear the creche apart"

"i don't know ,she will be sleeping in a different barrack though."

"yeah"

The two mused over the subject on the way down to the food hall.
they each choose the same food (a green meat of a releth'lamb a green paste and a luminescant blue protein drink)
The friends sat down at a table near the corner of the hall. several other warriors sat down as to the same table.

"i hope you didn't hog all the glory of being atacked by a R'lion" said the largest sangheili, called Te'kao

"yeah Te'kao , just because you couldn't kill one bare handed doesn't mean hes a glory hog" said a pale skinned sangheili to the left. he was called mek'tano. a few units ago Te'kao had attmepted what
N'aik had done and had fought a young R'lion male and had nearly killed it until he was also attacked by the large pack leader)

"its just because the new female is coming you guys are showing off. everyone knows ladies like class" said Mek'tano. Mek was the son of a famous aristocat called sak'tano who had fought in the legeko wars. Mek had a rare gene that makes his skin change colour when he wants. it made him elligible for immediate commando training yet he declined the offer. Mek was realy sophisticated for a warrior.

"oh man take a look what just walked in!" said a accented sangheili called tas'alo

The young males craned their heads to the entrance.
a striking female strolled in followed by a younger female.

"Thats our old teacher Sanyeal T'wiak. and that must be her daughter!" gasped Sti'nai

The pair strolled over to the officers table and sat down with the commanders. T'wiak sat down whilst her daughter stood to attention.

"so is anyone gonna go over there?" said N'aik
"no"
"nope"
"ermm"
"no"

N'aik grasped his drink and swallowed the dregs and shook his head.
"does anyone know her name?" quizzed N'aik
