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?
Arrival
LAIS
"I…am planning to do this," Elen says.
And then a white glow engulfs us. I close my eyes to protect them from the overbearing light.
Wait, this isn't Len's spiritual presence. This isn't her spell.
Then who….?
I open my eyes. It takes a few seconds to adjust to the still glowing light, but when I do, the first thing I see is a crimson robe, fluttering in the wind.
A crimson robe….
Len. That is what first comes to my mind.
I immediately turn, my body instinctively detecting where she is.
I catch her just as she's falling to the ground. She is shaking so badly, and all I can do to help her is to grip her tightly, to ensure her that I'm right here.
"I'm right here, I'm right here," I whisper to her, gripping her tightly.
I don't know what else to do. All I can do is to assure her that I am beside her, that she is not facing this alone. That's what little I can do for her right now.
