Frostbite rolled out of bed clutching her head, and landed on the floor with a thump. She had forgotten about the obnoxious way the Alliance woke their soldiers and at the moment she was suffering from a minor hangover. Still wrapped in her sheets, she got up clumsily. She tossed her covers back onto her cot with a grunt and walked quickly to the showers. The war drums were still playing, much to the discomfort of her head.
Twenty minutes later, Frostbite was shoveling food into her mouth, alongside the rest of the soldiers. As she ate, she was looking for others that she knew in the mess hall. She wasn't quite sure why she was looking for them, surely saying a good bye at a time like this would only dampen people's spirits. But nonetheless she wanted to see a familiar face before she got off to battle.
She never did get that chance. No sooner was Frostbite done eating was everyone ushered into the briefing room. Frostbite listened with a cold, calculating look on her face, trying to quell the nausea in her stomach. She was going to war... There was a possibility she would never come back.
No, don't think these things, she told herself firmly.
She cheered with the rest of them and marched out to board her ship. Surprisingly she was assigned to one of the newer air ships. Frostbite noticed right away that the hull of the ship was thicker, probably meant to withstand whatever the Magi would throw at them. And it had more weapons too... Fancy. Once on board, she was told to be on the deck of the ship because her powers would help immensely with cloud cover. She strapped herself to the railing of the ship with a thick leather belt, noticing that everyone else on deck were doing the same. Her heart was in her throat when the airship lifted into the sky.
