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 Lightning Wielder
Banian's lighting bolt shook the ground to its very core, as if the earth senses the danger ahead. Even those of us at the faraway building had to grit out teeth as the bolt exploded before us.
He is a show-off, The Covenant's leader, but he only because he has something to show off as well. Everyone knows how he is, his notoriety is widespread not only because he likes to make his presence known everywhere, but because that presence is something worth remembering. Like that lighting bolt earlier, everyone, even those who do not know him, know him to be a streak of light that blinds everyone.
I duck under the window as the explosion from the lightning goes off. Glass shards fly off everywhere, and I cover my face to avoid any injuries.
Ah, what an irony, for me to be semi-attacked by lighting.
I look up, trying to get a view of what is going on.
