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?
Vincent's Dilemma
VINCENT
The tunnel grows smaller and smaller as I move farther and farther inside, making me more and more claustrophobic by each passing second. I have to crouch and duck here and there due to the protruding rocks and other formations. The tunnel assigned to me is a wee bit stuffy.
Tunnels and dark and enclose spaces…they remind me of…well, something, something I don't like to remember about. I always tell myself that it's alright, that I've nothing to fear. I'm a fully pledged Marelirian warrior, and we are not the type to have weaknesses. We are known in the world as the best fighters this rock can produce. I tell myself to quit being such a baby and just face my fears.
But you know, it's really difficult to deal with trauma of all kinds. And my trauma was…well, let's just say, it really left an impression on me. As much as I hate to admit, my fears still plague me day in and day out.
