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
IRID
I'm walking back to my apartment, looking back on today's events.
Ah, the orphanage and a person's journey there. Mine is just one of the many painful roads that lead to that place of new beginnings, everyone has a different story and a different path.
I chuckle a little, remembering my days at the orphanage.

Twenty Years Ago
I wake up in a bright room, a warm blanket over me.
That's right. I ran away. Finally, I ran away. I made it out of that dreadful place, I'm free.
I ran, sneaked on a train, then a car, then I walked a few kilometers. I finally managed to reach the big doors. That's the last thing I remember, standing in front of the big doors, shivering from the cold and the exhaustion.
But now I'm here. Where is this?
I turn to my side. A stern-looking lady is there, eyes on me.
"You're finally awake," she says. "What's your name?"
My name?
