Master Wolf begins his next story "Before Golden Mane became leader his father Iron Mane was incharge. His hair uniquely used to resemble gold more so than his sons hair does now. After aging however it has grown closer to that if iron. it is also incredibly strong and hard to break. Iron Mane has 2 sons the older one is who you know as Iron Fang and the younger is Golden Mane. Golden Mane is named for his long golden locks and Iron Fang is named for his fangs. He was born with crystal like fangs and as he has aged they have turned the color of iron. He has the ability to chew through most things. Those kids personalities are night and day. The houses they represent now even prove that."
As they listen the boys are eating on the food that was brought to them. A bit more at ease knowing they atleast have one offer. Wes spoke up "Is it common for members of the same family to become leaders like that?" The boys didn't have much knowledge of the politics or policy's around the city.
"It is common for families who have been in houses for a long time to have a child who is atleast in the running for leadership. However these are voted on by the members of the house. Iron Fang truly embodies what it means to be of house Wolf. Both of those kids have done a fantastic job and have brought the houses closer together. Wooly leader if house Bear is a very hairy man. As he was growing up, he was a few years younger than Golden Mane, however he often would practice and train with the boys. They were quite the trio back in the day. Always up to something. His father Grizz was the leader of house Bear and got along very well with Iron Mane." Master Wolf continued on with his stories.
"These old men are very wise, prehaps following their leadership could really put us ahead of others." Wes thought to himself. "We could really use their talents and training to become some incredible warriors."
"The houses are somewhat divided however. They have three fur, three skin and one feather. The fur houses specialize in offense strategy. The skin houses specialize in defense. The feather house beings balance to the house. These 7 houses have guided our city for a long time. the smaller houses tend to be like subsidies of the larger ones. Such as house Jaguar being below house Lion. Each house has a voice and part to play in the greater picture. " Master Wolf continued giving minor details of the skin house leaders. He was not overly familiar with them.
Knock! Knock! Someone began knocking at the door. It had become quite late by this point. It surprised the boys. The masters knew that offers usually came around this time after much deliberation. Wes went to answer the door. As the door opened none other than Iron Fang. His smile showed his metal like teeth.
"Hello boys, I have come to make an offer to Wes." As he enters the room he see Master Wolf. His smile leaves his face. "Unfortunately it seems I was not fast enough to here first. I was hoping you would take Master Wolfs place on SSS3, however with these three here no one would deny them the chance to make the choices themselves. I do hope you all will accept their offer. You know they all came from a village much like you three. I always believed they should have had one more member on the squad. It is up to you however and what you think. The Wolf house offer is obviously lower than Master Wolfs. I hope you all have a nice night." Iron Fang bows and smiles again.
"Thank you for encouraging them to join us Iron Fang. You are an amazing leader. I enjoyed working with you greatly!" Master Wolf thanked him as he exited.
A few other underlings came to give offers. Mostly smaller houses. All of them intimidated by the old gentlemen sitting in the room. None of the offers were extroinary. All about the same with small variations in compensation. After some time Master Wolf looked at the boys. "So what do you say would you want to be on the special squad?" he looked at them.
"Would it be possible for us to add a fourth member?" Sherwin spoke up. "I was hoping maybe Wang of house Tiger would be interested. I don't know what house would accept but preferably flight. I notice that Master Dragon is the only one capable of that."
Master Wolf opened the magic communicator on his armor and placed a call. He asked a friend to go see if Wang had accepted an offer and also to see if he would accept a place on SSS3 under house Owl.
"We will accept this position." Wes said firmly. "I hope that Wang will join us also. However I think this is our best opportunity."
With that answe Master Wolf sent a message stating the boys had accepted an offer and were now off limits. He locked the door and the Masters helped each other unlock their helmets. "With your acceptance we can now give you more information as well as speak of your compensation. Are you all ready for that?" The old man grinned and handed them each two armor crystals. " There are strict guidelines you must abide by. Your compensation will be $20000 now and $1000 per week. is that acceptable?"
Most offers for starting soldiers were generally $5000 with $400 per week. However most soldiers would not be put into the situations these young men would have to face.
The boys looked at each other and nodded. They were ready for an exciting life to come of this.
"Then I shall begin to give you all the guidelines and details." Master Wolf said.
