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?
The Fight Begins
LAIS
The day starts with a somber mood. I can't find the mood to even pretend to joke around.
What happened last night was not a joking matter. What if it happens again? What do I do if something happens to Elen? I can't…I can't imagine a life without her. I don't want to live a life without her. And yet last night, when she was fighting for her life, all I could do was watch. I really am useless.
Elen and I had our breakfast in silence, both pondering the gravity of the day that has passed and the day to come.
I sigh, looking down on our meal. Meals should be had in high spirits as they are blessings, but I cannot help but feel deflated at the moment.
"I will be okay. Do you seriously believe a mere thing like that can possibly bring me down?" Elen says, eating her porridge like nothing is wrong.
"But we're in the middle of a mission. What if…" I start to say.
