Some people may recognize this from other various sites. I won't keep this entirely updated, but I'll try. Here's the pics:

And here's the first 8 chapters:
Leenor Militia: Part 1
The gentle autumn leaves floated from the high tree tops. Seirra leaned his head against the base of his tree and closed his eyes, toying with a pink blossom in his hand.
A rustle behind him caused Seirra to wake from his hazy rest. He turned and smiled to his old friend, Ozzy.
"What are you doing?" Ozzy asked in an annoyed tone.
Seirra stood up and brushed the grass from his armor, "Just enjoying the peace while it lasts."
Ozzy shook his head, "Well don't get to comfortable, the call to arms has sounded. You're late. Master Nishiori sent me to find you."
Seirra ran his hand through his white hair, "That old man has no patience. You run ahead and tell him I'm coming."
Ozzy frowned, "You'd better be there soon," he said, running in the direction of camp.
Seirra turned back to his tree and placed his hand on it, "I'll be back soon, my friend."
Leenor Militia: Part 2
Master Nishiori walked up and down the row of soldiers, eyeballing each individual warrior, making sure they were prepared for battle. He stopped when he arrived to Seirra.
"Lochanister, glad to see you joined us. What kept you? Did you not here the call?"
Seirra shook his head, "No, sir. I was sitting underneath my tree."
"Your tree?" Master Nishiori smiled, "It is near here?"
Seirra pointed in the direction where he came from, "Right over there."
Master Nishiori nodded solemnly, then stepped back from the row, "Soldiers! I have hired the aid of two mercenaries that I will introduce to you now." He then stepped aside and shouted something Maldorin. At the command, a large man dressed in black and red stepped from behind a nearby Ako Tree. From the leaves of the tree, a figure dressed in the black and green attire of a ninja.
"Leenor Militia, I?d like to introduce Kage and Meric."
Leenor Militia: Part 3
The larger of the two mercenaries turned to Master Nishiori, "Master," he said in Maldorin, "These are soldiers?"
The Master raised an eyebrow, "Do they not meet your approval, Kage?"
Kage looked back at the militia, "No."
Master Nishiori laughed, "Would you like to test your assumptions?"
Kage walked over to Seirra, "I will fight this one," he said.
Meric approached Ozzy, "I will fight this one, next."
Master Nishiori nodded, "As you wish," he said. Switching to Krasanian, he shouted, "Seirra, Exercise 349! Make me proud."
Seirra saluted, "Yes sir!"
The two backed up and took battle positions, while the soldiers around them backed up and formed a circle around them.
"Okay, big guy. Show me what you've got."
Leenor Militia: Part 4
Kage frowned deeply, popping his knuckles as he slowly approached Seirra. Seirra smiled and flew at the larger man, but Kage caught Seirra?s head and slammed him into the ground.
"That was easy," Kage muttered, turning to walk away. He was stopped abruptly when a hand grabbed his ankle. He turned to stare at the already bruised form of Seirra.
Seirra pulled himself to his feet, "Come on, I'm an Elite. There?s no way you'd stop me that easily."
Kage spat at the ground before throwing a punch Seirra's way. The soldier caught the giant fist, then spun it, along with the body attached. With an earth-shattering blow, Seirra kicked Kage's stomach before the literal giant landed on the grass.
Kage lifted himself up shakily before turning to look at Seirra, "You, what is your name?" He said in scratchy Krasanian.
"Seirra Lochanister," the golden-clad warrior replied before lifting Kage's feet from underneath him with a swoop of his leg.
Leenor Militia: Part 5
Master Nishiori clapped enthusiastically. Seirra helped Kage up and the two bowed before departing. Master Nishiori turned to Ozzy and Meric.
"Well, do you still wish to battle a pupil of mine?" Master asked in Maldorin.
Meric nodded, "Yes."
"Very well. Ozzy, Exercise 349!" Master shouted.
Ozzy casually walked over to the clearing where Seirra and Kage had battled, followed closely by Meric. Ozzy carefully took off his claw-bands and stretched his fingers. Meric also took off his many armaments. The two squared off, each eyeing there opponent to see who would make the first move. The crowd of soldiers held there breath in anticipation as the ninja and the elite circled each other precariously.
"The first move is yours, mercenary," Ozzy said in Maldorin.
Meric laughed silently, "As you wish, soldier."
Leenor Militia: Part 6
Ozzy took the initiative by charging the ninja. Meric quickly leapt into the air and flipped over the soldier, who was already skidding to a stop. Meric landed gently behind Ozzy, who turned and charged Meric again. This time, however, Meric dealt a devastating roundhouse to the side of Ozzy's head, knocking him to the left six feet. Ozzy stood cautiously and stared into the onyx eyes of his opponent.
"I will not lose to a common ninja," he spat.
Meric laughed sadistically, "You are not facing a common ninja, fool. I am well trained in every area of combat. Only a god could defeat me."
Ozzy frowned, "And if you are bluffing?"
"Why don't you find out?" Meric laughed, taking a casual stance.
"Yes, let's," Ozzy said, again charging the lanky figure before him.
With one blow to the head, Ozzy was sent flying through the air and into a tree. He fell to the ground a bloody mess, and Master Nishiori rushed over to him.
"He is defeated," Meric said in a monotone voice. "I suggest you have your medic attend to his needs. He is a good soldier for surviving more than one hit from me."
Leenor Militia: Part 7
"Oh no you don?t," Ozzy said, pushing Master Nishiori away from him. "I'm not through with you..." Ozzy then collapsed sputtering something about victory and Master Nishiori sent a nearby soldier to get the medical team.
Seirra frowned and looked at the two mercenaries. These are no ordinary mercenaries, he thought. Who are they?
Meric approached Seirra, "You are very powerful for a soldier. Do you mind if I ask why?"
Seirra raised an eyebrow, "The same could be said about you two. Ozzy is no pushover, and I?ve never fought that hard in a training exercise before."
"We are the sons of Master Mihishio. He has trained us since we could walk."
"Master Mihishio?" Seirra said with a shocked expression on his face. "I was trained by him!"
Meric nodded and turned to look blankly at Ozzy, "Then all makes sense." Turning back to Seirra, he said, "Go and heal. We will be going into battle soon."
Leenor Militia: Part 8
Again the soldiers stood lined up. This time, however, Ozzy was not in line, and Kage and Meric were. Again Master Nishiori eyeballed each warrior before addressing them.
"Leenor Militia," he shouted in his demanding way, "Today we embark on our first true battle. This is not an exercise, men! Your live will be on the line, as well as the lives of your friends, both here and back home. We shall not fail Krasania!"
With this a great cheer rose from the warriors, and at Master Nishiori"s signal, the troops marched forward.
Seirra glanced around him and grinned. It may have been the first true battle for his comrades, but he was no stranger to battle.
Hours later, they arrived at the midpoint between the Eastern Krasanian camp and their own. The Eastern Krasanians were already there, and at there front was 00002, sword drawn and a frightening gleam in his eye. Seirra gulped. It was his first time to see an Eastern Nobleman, and he was slightly intimidated.
Meric appeared beside him, "Are you ready, soldier?" He asked. Seirra nodded and drew his sword.
