Chapter 14

Time was no factor here as the clouds blocked the sun and the bolts struck down on the ground below.

The barren wasteland had turned into a sloppy mess.

People were scattered as the shooters were having their practice with the fools.

The three of us huddled in the patch as we waited out the storm.

Yuko thumbed her sharp blade as she glanced at us two.

Sayaka held her gun aiming towards the outside.

While I began to think about Acchan.

It had been three years since I last saw her.

Escaping the battles, she vowed to stay but was forced by her parents to leave.

Then, on the same night of her departure, a fire broke out when the rebels lit the town hall.

The men took on the rebels with ease but left open the city to the rotten scoundrels.

Rape and pillage was their survival tool but luckily I fought off enough of them to distract their advantage.

However, the rebels won the city and we were forced to evacuate or join them.

They saw my spirit as a great asset and I was kept to train.

Their eyes worn from battling were impressed and I honed my skills for battle.

It was then when the rebels split from each other and anarchy ruled.

Killing our neighbors was the worst of the battling and the escape to the next city was prohibited.

The pain and sorrow of the town grew to the all out war we faced.

My thoughts cleared when the storm stopped for a brief moment and bodies littered the ground.
