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?
Helen Song: A Mystery
HELEN
I lift the cover of the manhole, revealing the warm sun up above. I breathe a gulp of fresh air, thankful for it after an hour of breathing the stale air of the tunnel systems.

Here we are, Jupiter Summit.
Jupiter Summit is an abandoned building at the edge of the city, near the borders to the Three Sisters, the mystic mountains of the North.

It is considered to be one of the more dangerous places in the North. Perfect for transactions like mine.
