A History of War
Life is difficult enough for a Lirian soldier. Training for ten years, hunting evil deimos, solving crimes, facing powerful weilders, keeping the peace in a tension-filled world, each Lirian soldier has a lot on their plate. It doesn't become any easier if you have to deal with a dark past that looms at every corner. How will Lais Felix and Helen Song, two best friends with tragic pasts, handle life as soldiers while running from their past? Will they manage to escape their tragic beginnings? Or will the past finally catch up to them?
Mending Connections
LAIS
I walk towards the conference room, my heart heavy from an early argument. I can't stand…
I sigh. Maybe I shouldn't have brought it up in the first place. Now look at me, a nervous wreck.
I'm so caught up in my thoughts that I don't realize I'm about to bump into a wall, not until someone grabs my back.
"What's on the mind of the great Flame Emperor to make you so empty-headed this early," a familiar voice says.
I turn. A small face, black, 2 by 3 hair, brown eyes, and lips forever formed in a crooked smile.
"Everly Dune," I manage to blurt out.
She lets go of my collar, smiling brightly.
"Yow, Lais. Long time no see. It's been since the war games, if we're correct," she says cheerfully.
"Oh, ah, yeah, I think you're right," I reply.
They look at me from head to toe, putting a hand on her chin and shaking her head.
