Chapter 33: Hit The Deck

MILO’S POV

The following night Nori’s volunteers assemble in the hall, passing around weapons and dressed like badasses from days gone by. Leather curaisses that lace up the side and are molded for absolute fit cover male and female chests. Many of these flow into gorgets, a piece of historic armor that covers the neck up to the chin. Vambraces and grieves reinforced with plastic or metal inserts cover forearms and shins over jeans and leggings. It’s a strange meld of modern day and memories of another time. I should be glad no one came decked out in a suit of armor. Everyone is dressed to take as few hits as possible and to maintain speed and mobility.
