Chapter 41
Testing 1-2-3
Jackson:
It took 5 days to narrow the candidates down to 50 out of almost 200. All the kids were a huge help. Maurice looked into the participants' mentality. Louis looked into their physical health, Nick had done background checks on every one. Killian, Jo, Vlad and Geneva looked at everyone's supernatural abilities and how they will do in war time and if they will help or hurt our abilities when used together. That is one thing we adults didn't think about. We need people who will amplify our abilities and not hinder them.
Catalina and Dorian have done a wonderful job designing and making the attire for the warriors and us. I don't know the material they used but it is light weight and even Lycan claws or their teeth can't cut through it. Catalina is a wonderful formal wear designer while Dorian is fabulous at designing everyday apparel and we can add claw proof military uniforms to the list. Cat and Dori worked together on them to perfect them. The uniforms are also spelled to stay on us when we shift, protecting our wolves too. The uniforms have a high neck that prevents us from being bit or clawed in our necks. They both put in a lot of hard work. They made several colors but the ones we will use in battles are spelled to be blended in with any surroundings including water. If we have spies in the pack, they will only see our warriors training in blue like they always have. None of the warriors know about the other set of uniforms. We need to keep as many secrets we can from our enemies.

The real work for our 50 candidates will start tomorrow with the endurance tests. They will be running the 5 obstacle courses plus running the pack parameter 4 times, in both human and shifted form, for the ones who can't shift can use their abilities to help aid their speed but only during the shift tests. Once again the courses are spelled to avoid cheating. If anyone uses abilities before it's permitted, they will be ejected from the trials, literally thrown off the course and in the arena. Mom and Dianna will be in the arena watching movies and waiting to see who is ejected, if anyone. The little ones will be the ones who will decide punishment for the cheaters. The punishment will be handed down in front of the other contestants. The children are very creative when it comes to different levels of punishments. From little white lies from cheating to win. They made a list of tiers of cheating. I tried to tell them that no matter how small or big the punishment should be the same, they argued and said even though I was correct, their idea would make things more exciting for people to watch. Sometimes it's best to shake your head and move on. There is an old saying, never argue with a woman or a child because a woman is never wrong and a child will prove you wrong.
