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?
On The Offensive Side
HELEN
That damned Banian, what has he done? How could he do something like this?
No, it could not have been him. No human is capable of this, no human should be capable of this. This power is beyond human capacity. Something else is behind this. But that does not mean that Banian is not involved. He has been made instrument in its use. Damned humans and their fickleness.
I walk back towards the man. By now, the black veins have reached his neck. He is still writhing in pain. Unconscious, sweating profusely, his skin turning pale and cold to the touch. He is deep pain, not just physically, but spiritually.
I close my eyes to sense his spirit. Sure enough, mixed with his spirit is this rotten concoction that Banain's force is using. It is slowly devouring his being, simultaneously causing the physical pain.
