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 Little Rebel
HELEN
Back in the past, I used to be the head ache of the book meisters. Everyday, they would find me sneaking up behind them, grabbing books which were way above my reach, practicing spells behind bookshelves.
In a way, I was a rebellious. As a dera noviche, I should have stayed in class and learned the ways of the Aryans, like all other noviches like me. But true to the name of my family, I am a song of the wind, I wished to roam free. The confines of the small room, the monotony of the teacher's voice droning on, the pesky tasks we were all given, I found all those to be bothersome.
