Life is difficult enough for a Lirian soldier.

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?

My words anger him some more. His raises his right hand, and I feel a huge presence gather in the space in front of me, looming twenty feet in the air.
"Oh yeah? How about this?" he says.
