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?

"I'm planning to go big on Halloween week. I'm thinking Iron Man, or a carrot," I responds.
"You would make a handsome carrot. Every little bunny would be after you," she says with a smirk.
I laugh at that, a genuine one.
Elen sighs.
"Would you like to stash the car and take a walk?" she asks out of the blue.

I pull over at the side of the road. Dialing up the personal driver service' number, I leave the key in the ignition and take my jacket.
Elen leads the way, I follow her.
The spring breeze blows softly against us as we walk. The trees have started to regrow their leaves, and buds have started to appear everywhere. What a view.
"It has been quite a week, has it not?" she asks.
"It sure has. Gotta say I'm glad it's over," I reply.
"I am happy that you managed to retrieve your sword. I know how much it means to you."
