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?
Beginning Investigation
HELEN
"So Samuel Pearson isn't the real killer?" Lais asks as soon as I finish my narrative.
I was just now telling him all that I found out while I was out investigating last night. And I was up all night last night, so it is safe to say that I found out a lot of holes in this case, and those plot holes are what will design our counter attack.
Unfortunately, I found more questions than answers. Why Samuel Pearson, why kill the governor? And how do all of these connect to Lais' sword? Nothing is making any sense at all. Is this the work of someone from Intelligence? Involving us in a random assignment is…it should take at least a high ranking officer. Is the perpetrator someone in our ranks? And why would they know about the sword, about how important it is to him. What in the makers' name is going on?
Still, to answer Lais' question.
I gently pat Tripod's head, the kitten purring as I tell my story.
