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 Secret Room
HELEN
As soon as I finish casting the spell, his body starts falling. I catch him, holding him in my arms, then resting him on his bed. I make sure I cover him up properly, nights are cold here in the North, even when it is not winter.
A dreamless sleep for him, I make sure of that. I do not want him to relive his nightmares every single night be closes his eyes.
He should not be out roaming about sleepless when we could be deployed in a fight any moment soon. He should take some rest. I know he did not sleep a wink last night, and I know why. Fear not, I will do what I can for you. I will do what I can so that we can recover your sword, and you no longer have to fear.
So sleep, sleep tonight and let all the worries wait for tomorrow. Who knows, perhaps this knot will have been untangled a little by then.
