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?
Puzzle
HELEN
While Felix deals with the oncoming storm of the ultimate clash between The Covenant and The Last Order, I have my own piece of puzzle to solve.
But speaking of puzzles, whoever left that message on the wall of that bar really was not aiming for subtlety. To have left in it such an open space, quite the invitation.
THE EMBRACE SHALL CAST ALL THAT IS HIDDEN IN THE DARK.
THE LAST GRAIN SHALL FALL FOR THEM,
A NEW ERA SHALL EMBARK.
ENDS ARE BEGINNINGS,
BEGINNINGS ARE ENDS.
Hmm. The embrace that casts all that is hidden in the dark, the union between the sun and the moon, a solar eclipse, four days from now. They have the date and time.
The last grain shall fall for them, a new era shall embark. Obviously, The Covenant is trying to say that they will oust The Last Order out of their place, and take their spot as the top brass of the underworld.
