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 Children of Marelirium
AKARI
We're at the police station, where, as I'm told, the children will be processed before they head to the orphanage. They'll stay here for the night before getting picked up by the matrons tomorrow.
Until now, I still can't believe I didn't know of such a process. Oh, I'm one big blind fool!
The children hold Lt. Song's hand as we enter the office. I notice them instinctively flinch at the sight of the police officers, trying their best to hide behind the lieutenant.
Finally, we reach a room called "Child Care Area". The room is painted baby blue, with colorful drawings inside and a bunch of toys to play with. We lead the kids inside.
"This is it, kids. We'll let you go here," Major Felix tells the kids.
The children look up to Lt. Song nervously, clutching her hand tighter.
Lt. Song crouches down to her knees to get eye-level with the kids.
