"Which future are you talking about?" Hanaele asked, clarifying the thoughts I shared with her with the concern about our lives. After that event, I could not concentrate on every task that the Agila squad officers ordered us to do.
It was midnight right now, and only the stars gave light to our sight. Hanaele was standing on the rooftop, so I went towards her to clarify things that kept bothering in my mind.
I tilted my head after hearing her response. I was slightly confused about her question, and I could not digest what she meant.
"The goals we have. What are they?" I argued, making a few steps closer to her until I reached her side. But, she quickly stepped forward and looked up to the sky.
"They were imposed to give meaning towards our actions. Just like how the stars appeared to confirm our existence." She whispered in the middle of a cold strike of the night.
Tattered sounds of the horses' footsteps along with the mud and the dim humidity of weather echoed within the woods. The squads began to separate, following the command of each commander assigned for every regiment.Our squad leader, Larch Laverens, remained at his position while Cassius turned back towards us. On the other hand, Hanaele was in charge of the Sabahi. Nover fit himself between Flora and me out from no idea how I could know where he came from."Hayah!" He expressed to accelerate the speed of the horse he was riding. Flora and I quickly turned our attention towards him.Despite interfering with our gap, he did not bother to look into us. Besides, he has this unwritten reaction on his face while looking straight to the way."Hey! You're here!~" Flora asked, and her eyebrows almost collided with each other.Nover just glanced at her for a
"Please... take care of my daughter...." The voice of the aged man wailed towards me, desperate for a longer life that could never be his. He happened to ask for the life of his daughter. He kept on glancing at her, which brought me a snap of confusion and the reality of facing the first killing I witnessed."Take care of her..." He added with his tears kept falling to his cheek. His face lightened up in the darkness that he was facing. He looked stiff while his head kept turning around his surrounding, crying in silence as he saw his daughter fighting for her life. From this, it was the very first thought I realized.The daughter he was talking about was Flora.After which, a few seconds later, he smiled, letting out a bitter smile as he looked straight to my dead consciousness. Then, he disappeared down the land.He already accepted his fate."Sophia! Hold on, w
Third Person's"It's surprising. The medical squad responded fast." Nover commanded the rescue regiment's immediate action while wrapping Flora's scars on her right leg. Flora sat in an elevated pile of wood boxes while Nover kneeled both his knees in front of her.The crowd was walking back and forth, seeking more help from the medical team. Each survivor with low casualties guided by their friends was leaning their heads on the stone walls. Every military who did not join the expedition brought a supply of food for those casualties. But even though they survived, each squad expressed their views about the incident that happened within the woods. Their voices echoed alongside within the basement. There was a minimal source of light that only those fire lampshades helped them spot each other's presence."My children are waiting for me to come home. I might drop my interest to join Sabahi. Bridging
Sophia CodacheThe blurry sight of the wooden, brownish ceiling was the first thing I saw when I woke up. There were only minimal lights around this small isolated room, which I have no idea where I can locate this place. I yawned while trying to sit. My eyes were half-opened, and my back was too heavy that it wanted to rest more.I scratched my head and yawned once again. "Ugh, where am I?" I whispered to myself while looking at my surroundings.I suddenly felt the same feeling I had when I witnessed the deaths of our associates from the 113th expedition we had. By this, the event itself brought me more sick and headaches. I felt my breath a bit hot, like steam coming from my mouth. My head seemed to crack anytime."Please... take care of my daughter...."The voice of Flora's father kept bothering my mind. Every time I came to flash that incident, his
Third PersonEthan got off from the horse and positioned himself above a tree's branch to see more of the fruit-bearing trees' scenery. He covered his forehead flatly, using his hand straight above his eyebrows to protect his eyes from the reflection of the sun rays. His mouth curved down in slight response to seeing that those trees were not bearing enough fruits. Plus, most of those kinds of the tree already disappeared for a long time. It only takes few lucky persons to find trees that bear fruits."Yahoo! It's time to eat this fresh little plant here!" Ethan spotted Vince, who was screaming in delight while holding a citrus fruit. Vince's smiled while slowly peeling off the round fruit's skin. Ethan's attention focused quickly on him, not just because Vince found a fruit, but it was his most favorite fruit as well."Th-that's..." He whispered to himself with his eyes wide opened as he pointed t
Within these grassy lands and tall trees, Flora swayed her right arm to activate the single cable hook into any random tree it hits. She moved in circular around the tree until the trunk wrapped by the cable's rope.Flora hopped over the other tree's huge branch, pointing her left foot forward and the right at her back to maintain her balance and strength. She raised both of her arms while holding the rope. At her right side, she encircled the rope on her wrist and pulled it upwards.Her eyes twinkled in delight as she saw the success she did with the tree. "It's time for self-informal training!~" She shouted, raising her voice as well as her chin to emphasize what she felt.After which, she jumped back to the land using her complete weight. Her body swayed around the tree to lose the tie, which results in the tree making its cracking sound. Her hair went messy as she moved in the air with her specializ
Right on the other side within the woods, Eva Patriarch and Jarius Asnee rode on their horses with their capes moving on their shoulders and heads. Jarius' eyes widened when he realized how far they had been running around from the spot where their comrades were resting. Eva also felt the same thing. She suddenly felt unsettled while looking around her.Because of what happened, their speed slowed down when they reached the area where they weren't familiar."Ja-Jarius...""I know."Eva hopped down from her horse and went towards one side of the way. She raised her head, finding ways on how to get back. Jarius then followed her after he tied their horses on the trees."It seems that we've traveled too far," Jarius spoke, scratching the back of his head with his one arm. After that, he stepped closer to Eva and touched her shoulder. Eva immediately looked at him.
"When I want you to come with me, you must." Jarius suddenly spoke all of a sudden from an extreme silence that bothered between him and Eva.Eva was stunned and could not digest the words that Jarius said. They remained the speed they had a while ago, and Eva wondered if they could or not find at least one of their squadmates. And now, Jarius talked to her out of nowhere? She could not even understand the topic he was trying to raise."Huh? I already did?" She expressed. Her forehead narrowed while staring at him at her side. She wondered why he said those words when it was him who wanted her to stay under the trees while waiting. Jarius remained at his position. He continued to speak a lot while looking straight on their way."When there's a need for us to separate, then we must.""Hey, what's with the sudden-" Eva shrugged her shoulders and was about to slap Jarius', thinking tha
