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?

"Sir?" the healer asks, dumbfounded by the order.
His commander merely looks at him.
"Of course, as ordered."
The man enters first, casting a barrier spell on the sleeping Edwin first. Then he heads out to announce that the wounded comrade is ready.
