Their father smiled at Pelora. He preferred her to Velka. "Okay, I will
teach you, but you will have to obey me without question. Do you agree?
Their father waited for them to reply. "I agree," Pelora said with
excitement. "I agree," Velqa said quietly.
"Listen to me," commanded their father. "You have one year to train. I'm
going to teach you battle drills, military strategies, Mokbara and betleth
fighting. The commandant of the military academy will evaluate you and If you
are successful when he tests you, then you can go to the academy. Women have
never studies there, but I can certainly take care of that. You need to stay
there for three years. When you come home, I will let you celebrate the rite
of ascension. You will become Klingon warriors. Do you understand?" "Yes,
father," both said.
"Now," continued their father, "there are new rules you need to follow at
home. When I speak to you stand at attention. Address me as 'my lord' or
'sir', not 'father.' Pelora started to protest. "No, Pelora, do not question
me." Their father silenced her. Father added, "Run everywhere, don't walk.
I will permit you to sit when reading and eating. Otherwise, you will stand.
When I enter a room, stand and salute. If you want to speak you must ask. If
you think home will be like hell, you will be wrong. Home is paradise. The
military academy is hell. Girls, do you still agree?" "Yes, sir," both said.
"Now, go to your room. Tomorrow will seem very long. Report at 0400 hours."
"Yes, my lord," they both said and immediately obeyed him. Their father
thought that if they stuck it out for a year, he would be surprised. When
they reached their room, Pelora cried, "Our father scares me; I don't
understand him."
"Don't be sad. Do you want to change your mind?" replied Velka. "No, Velka,"
said Pelora. "Okay," said Velka, "Have faith in our father. When father
orders something, do it immediately. I will help you We will achieve our
goal. Don't worry." They held each other while they slept.
