Challenge Gate [3]

War wasn't fun.

Kings and Queens stayed on the back line, protected by their troops. Meanwhile, those petty soldiers on the battlefield were merely pawns abiding by their wills.

These pawns obeyed orders as if they had no conscious thought of their own. They were mindless slaves.

One day, a pawn woke up.

He realized his strange situation.

He questioned morality. He questioned why he fought and who he was fighting.

That pawn left his post. He traveled across the battlefield, avoiding those around him until he reached its end. There, he met the King and Queen.

He asked the King and Queen, "why must I suffer like this?"

However, he received no response. Neither the King nor the Queen acknowledged his presence.

Unfortunately, he wasn't strong enough to defeat them.
