The new recruits had started arriving for the Knight's training that Paul was going to put them through. As of right now, Cedar had been reassigned to help him, and when they were not on active watch duty for the Queen, Shawn, Shane, and David were to help him as well. Dietrich said that he would also offer his assistance to them. And when Gabriel had met with the recruits to gauge their loyalty, he found that their knowledge of history was a little lacking. Or to quote him:

"Their inability to name even one important event is simply appalling. The education that they received must have been abysmal."

After that Gabriel contacted Crawford, and the two of them decided to set up a twice a week history class that all the recruits were to take. They were also required to take an etiquette class so that they did not make a fool of themselves in front of the Queen.

All in all, our initial group of recruits had just shy of a thousand soon to be knights; nine hundred and eighty-two to be exact.. There were men and women from every group of supernaturals that there was, but of course there were mostly wolves since they were the most plentiful resource.

Trinity and I stopped by on day two of the training to see how things were going. To be honest, it didn't look like it was going very well at all.

"Translate that for me." Paul was pointing at a man that was standing next to a very confused-looking Feline from Europe, however, the man that he pointed to looked just as confused as the other man did.

"Paul, is there a problem?" I called out to him.

"I'd say that there is." He growled in frustration. "This whole thing is good in theory, but it sucks in person. Most of these people speak different languages than me, and I can't tell them what to do."

I looked over at the large crowd of people, all dressed similarly in the uniforms that we provide for the training. The uniforms that they were wearing were a lot like the US military fatigues. Only instead of being the green camouflage they were shades of blue. The solid color t-shirts that they were wearing with them were all navy blue. They were all to wear these everyday unless they were off the castle grounds. They were to identify them as recruits. The guards and instructors even had a dress code now as well. The guards usually wore black of some sort, but when they were instructing they wore dark blue pants in the same cargo style as the recruits but they were solid color instead of camouflage. The shirts were the same color except for the golden symbols that they had on the left breast area. The two letters in the symbol were the GG of the Goddess Guards since they were all part of that elite group.

"Hmm, that does pose a problem." My Little Bunny responded while I was looking at the new soldiers. "I think that I could solve it. It just requires me trying to actively give a blessing."

"What do you have planned?" I asked her as she smiled at Paul.

"You will see." She winked at me.

She didn't say anything else. All my Little Bunny did was tilt her head back and close her eyes. I could tell that she was concentrating hard, but she was hiding it with a smile. She wasn't saying the typical words that she did when she gave a Goddess blessing, but I could see the light building inside of her.

This was something that I had never seen before. Then again, I had never actively watched her while she gave a blessing before. It usually took us by surprise. This time though, she was calling on the collective powers of the deities that had blessed her and was asking them for assistance.

After several more minutes that light had grown so bright that it was nearly blinding. The next instant it exploded out of her and seemed to be searching for targets. I just hoped that none of the targets were in public right now.

I happened to be a target, as well as Paul, Cedar, Gabriel, and Vincent who were nearby. I saw that it was heading toward the rest of the guards nearby as well.

"What was that blessing for?" I asked her.

"That was for everyone who is an official member of the Goddess Guard and the Grand Nobles." She smiled at me. "They will now be able to understand and speak every language on the planet. I also included you and I in the blessing, and I asked that only those receiving the blessing be able to see the light. I didn't need others seeing it and wondering what it was."

She had thought of the exact same thing that I had. If a human in public saw that, they would flip out.

"So, what just happened?" Paul called across the yard to us.

"Try speaking to them." She instructed him. "I added something else for the instructors." She grinned.

"What does that mean?" He looked so confused right now.

"It means that they can all understand you, no matter what language you are speaking. To them it will sound like their language. And you will understand them as well."

"Seriously?" Paul looked excited before turning back to the recruits. "Can you all understand me now?"

"Oui."

"Da."

"Ja."

"Hai."

"Shì de."

"Sí."

"Sì." 

Several voices rang out in several voices, but all the words sounded the same to me.

"Yes."

"Holy shit, Trinity you did it." Paul looked excited.

From there we were able to watch as the new recruits were told what drills to do and where to do. It was definitely going to make things easier on Paul and the others now. And this new blessing would help us as well since even though we spoke multiple languages, there were still some that we didn't know. This would be a great benefit for those in our higher circle.
