My mouth was wide open in shock.
'What the hell did I just hear?'
I looked at the elder and over to the Tua Tahir noting their solemn faces.
They weren't joking.
The commander's gaze was especially even more serious than I have ever seen it.
"Mia your growth is tremendous and you fought today with courage and great intuition. You have the makings of a great leader"
I blinked, my throat convulsing. "Me?" I said pointing at myself.
"You will lead the women's training while I continue to train you," he said. "They will follow you. If you accept that is"
The tent seemed to close in on me. I found it hard to believe that less than a month ago my biggest worry was groceries and nap time schedules but now I was expected to train and lead women in this new time we have found ourselves in. It was a bit overwhelming.
