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?
A History of Survival
The five of them run and run amid the palace's flaming hallways. They are all tired and out of breath, the smoke is getting to their lungs, it is difficult to see, and the heat is sweltering up. But they run nonetheless. Hope, perhaps even desperation, is the only thing keeping them going. They must get out of here, they must survive, all five of them think.
But tales of miracles and surprise happy endings are naught in real life, and war is cruel to all. Despite how hardly one clings to hope, the pits of despair will always try to catch up.
In the five survivor's case, the pits of despair come in the form of a heavily guarded hallway.
Just as they make their turn, they come across a hallway guarded by seven Galdonans.
The enemies immediately turn their head at the noise of scuffling and running. They spot the five survivors, and they come to action not a second later, raising their swords and moving forward.
"Retreat!" one of the guards say.
