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?
LAIS
I am running, panting, but still running, still running. All around me, red, an ocean of red. Red…red flames, red inferno, red flames…red enemies eyes….red, all red.
'What are you worried about? I am Methias, first born of Marion. I will be okay', my brother told me.
Then he picked up his sword and walked towards the bad people.
'Brat, hurry up and get in there', Baldo screamed at me.
Then he turned around to meet a blade coming towards him.
'Don't worry, you will be okay. I promise you, you will be okay,' my sister said in a whisper.
Then she ran a knife through her stomach.
'You are my child, and I am proud of you. The world has no right to tell you what to do or who to be. You make that choice yourself, and you fight for your choice. Remember that' father said.
Then he smiled at me for the first time in my life.
