"It's fine..." Mint whispered. Mint Green could just barely make out the mare next to him, only seeing a glimpses of her hair at times. He focused on the sound of the rain smacking against the doors instead.

Rose truly wanted to cry. Once she heard the rain start to fall on the outside, she realized fully on what was soon going to happen. She was surely going to die. She softly started to cry, trying her best not to make it obvious.

Mint simply let the tears stay; he certainly was going to get soaked in this rain shower.

 

The doors burst open, blinding the stallions with light. An officer barked at them. "Drop your bag at the barracks and meet in the front yard immediately!"

 

Mint noticed the camp was separated by gender with a fence. He looked at Rose. "Uh, hey, come with me. I'll find someone to get you transferred over there..."

"Okay then, follow me." His words weren't necessary though, as it was essentially a river of bodies, old and young. Light, soft explosions could be heard now and then, a sign of gunpowder being used off in the distance. He looked at the shivering mare beside him and sighed, hoping the war would end before they had to fight, as unrealistic as that was.

The only officials around were a few guards, and they were unwilling to speak to Mint. "C'mon, just drop your bags off at the barracks and we'll find someone..." He pulled Rose along, awkwardly holding one of her hooves.

The barracks were trashy and crowded, with dozens of bunks shoved into one tiny building. There was very little, if any, space between the beds, and most of them were bunks, though the Royal guard was telling people that it was two per individual bed. Horrible, horrible conditions.

 

After putting his stuff with Rose's, Mint Green pushed her along. "Right then, time to find someone in charge."

The first officer Mint caught look of was a griffon general. He pulled Rose along, and the General glared at him. "Uh, Sir, she's in the wrong ca-"

 

"C'veit na na Equestrioania pos vew?" The Griffon didn't speak Equestrian...

 

Mint sighed, walking away from him. "We'll find someone else. Anyway, it's your name?"

Mint saw yet another officer, a grimy elderly earth pony. Mint tried to approach the man but the Royal Guards pushed him out of the way. "Both of you! Into lineup now!"

 

Looking to his right, Mint noticed that almost all of the newbies had gotten into a messy formation. He pulled Rose along. "C'mon, before someone notices!"

Mint simply stared forward, ignoring the man.

 

Just as the drill instructor was about to spew another line of insults, the griffon officer stepped forward.

 

"ATTENTION!" All the ponies snapped forward a salute, and Mint did his half hearted, annoyed at the general being able to speak Equestrian. "Wecome to the fabulous Equestrian Army. I've heard a lot of yapper coming from ponies all day as they're being shipped in, pegasi complaining why they're not in the air force and unicorns why they're not in the magic force. It's simply: We need grunts! If we wanted Air Force we'd get air force, not pick up some kids from the wild west to fly with the greatest. So you're gonna learn how to fight like GRUNTS. You hear? You're serving Celestia and Luna well."
