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?
Premonition
HELEN
I am flying, soaring up in the sky, defying gravity as I race through the clouds and among the stars. So high up, so high up, so high up that all those below me are nothing but specks of dust in a shore.
I feel free, untethered, unchained, unbothered. I reign free above the clouds, no one in my way.
But it will not be so for a long time. It is almost time, almost. I will have to sleep. She must arrive safely.
First I must find a place to rest, a place where I am sure we will be safe, then I can be rest assured. But for now I should enjoy the moment of being among the clouds, free and up here.
"K'orra," someone says behind me.
I turn. It is D'mein in his other form. I do not understand why he chooses to take this form most of the time, but I let him be.
"What is it?"
"Your time is coming. Have you found a place?" he asks.
"I have a place in mind. It will be peaceful there. Do not worry," I reply.
