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?
The Ancient
HELEN
This is indeed disturbing. I do not appreciate the fact that I let a traitor run amok among us without our knowledge. I consider this a swipe against myself. Grave's heart is still pounding as loud as before, which means he has still not found these "church, stone, and guardian". And in my gut, I feel like I must do everything I can to stop them.
Using blood wielding is offense enough for one man, but he called the other man his father, which raises the possibility that there are other humans who use this forbidden wielding. For beings with souls to conduct blood wielding, it is an affront to our very souls. In fact, I am surprised he can still move around and breathe after he performed that ritual. Blood wielding is supposed to destroy the rhythm of the human soul. He should be writhing in pain right now.
And to think he would be assigned this case…what a bad state of irony.
All in all, my day is not going too well.
