More than a Mouthful

July 3 will be memorable of sorts to some of us Sentinels, particularly the EN batch, working at the White Castle. Who would have thought we could last this long under the turmoils experienced by, take note, everyone of the batch. But then when the going gets tough, the Deities they believe they are, failed to recognize and realize that ours is the batch to reckon with. Even with great physical effort, no amount of Herculean task thrown our way would make us falter. People come and go. That’s the kind of preaching they do here at the White Castle. They never devise ways of retaining the loyalties of their battalion, much more their welfare. As long as there are other neophyte Sentinels to be trained and taken in, then business will just do fine.

I still remember vividly the different ideals posed by the original heterogeneous set of Sentinels of our batch who had their own individualities, each waiting for their own share of time. Each of us had our own stories to tell, and it so happened, destiny allowed us to convene in the pearly halls of the White Castle.

He amuses me with his simple ways. Tidehunter I call him, is a man of few words and a man of good deeds. Conscientious with his role, he started off at fending for himself as his parents were financially unable to provide him with some of the more important basic necessities in life needed to level up in battle. His famous line “cocoa butter” never fails to elicit crisp laughters and chuckles from us. Sheer hardwork and determination has made this silent fellow rise above the ranks. I’m glad that through the many moons of his stay at the White Castle, he now manages to share his own brand of wit and humor. He now even has his share of sexy poses over the net. Good for him!

Luna Moonfang would always find ways of getting the ease out of things, even though in tight situations. Blame it on her being trained under Hard Knox Life Academy, where she learned her dangerous skill of the innocent orchid. She usually utilizes her cherub glances at her enemies convincingly so that she can logout way ahead of others. Undoubtedly, because of this skill she has her daily CR break at the White Castle. That’s right. She manages to be in the CR daily for even half an hour unnoticed because of her dupe look skill. Prepare yourself!

Enigma stands out in the batch for all the academic reasons. Having highly intelligent conversions gained at a nearby academy, he has the skill of malesfice and black hole. It is said that he was once a chef from one of his past lives. He lives life daily accustomed to the fact that one day if plans push through, he will have a happy and contented life with Gorgon, the Naga princess.

Sharing my space, thoughts and time with these batchmates, I conclude that in a way I had a productive stay at the White Castle in so many ways. Through all the unpaid OTs, bickerings with fellow Sentinels and the much hated Scourges, we have become a family in a way, existing like a horse and carriage example–useless each without the other. Question is, how long can we bear up against everything that will come along the way.

This goes out to the separated Sentinels who dreamt otherwise and went to pursue their own denouement. Tiny, Chloe, Jonjie, Ellen and Basil (yes in that order were they banished by the Queen of Pain), you are still remembered.

Another 5 SILs. Happy Anniversary to Us!!!
