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 Offer
"Felix," I hear a familiar voice say.
The hair on my spine rises, like a premonition of the bad luck that is to come. Ah, I really hate this feeling, a premonition that something is about to go very very wrong.
That voice. I swear I've heard it somewhere. How do I put it? Where have I heard it before? Which dark crevice of this world has introduced me to that particular sound. I know it…I just know it….I know that sound.
Frustrated with not being able to remember, I decide to turn and see who it is.
How I wish I did not. Ugh, this man, he's so not worth my time right now. What a worst-case scenario to even encounter him today of all days. Yeah, I was really unexcited when I heard he was the one to lead this group of rag tags, all because I know what he'll be here to do. And now here is, doing exactly what I expected him to do.
