PART 1: 17 YEARS AGO IN KOYAKU
The view of a destroyed village was scary. The weather was filled with thunder and lightning. The ground and houses were in bad shape. The fights in the war did that. There were a few people gathered in line at a small stall. Drizzling started but no one had time or energy to move.
The people in line had dirty and ragged clothes. They were soldiers. After fighting on the frontlines, they were here to get food rations. Some were tired and some were angry. The stall owner faced a lot of problems in keeping things under control.
He took out the bread from boxes and handed one to each warrior in the line. Two soldiers took that and made frustrated faces. The bread was a little wet from the drizzle.
"Hey!" yelled the soldier at the stall owner, "these loaves of bread are wet! Why are you giving these to us?"
"Yeah, change them!" the other soldier said. He even grabbed the stall owner's neck.
