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?

It is early in the evening, three of the land's moons starting to appear on the night sky. The marketplace is bustling as usual, filled with people carrying their baskets, chattering, and milling about. The market is full of goods as well, fresh fish and other sea creatures from the various lakes surrounding Nemebedea, various vegetables newly delivered from the local farms, poultry goods, and many others. Various smells dominate the area, from sweet delights to meat, from baked goods to live produce. The place is full of life, fully unaffected by the war outside the village walls.
That is, until today.
"How about shrimp soup then, want that one?" Aedea asks her daughter.
