Chapter 26
‘Why me?’
That was the statement that was going through Gwen’s head as she ran through the forest with Ace, the border guards hot on their tails. It always seemed like conflict always ensued where she was. She wondered if it was some sort of punishment for doing something wrong. She had left her parents without saying anything and did sort of get into the country illegally. But it was all for a good cause. So shouldn’t it cancel out?
Maybe it was because shared the blood of the Queen and her bad energy was a part of her somehow. But if that were the case then her mother should also be having troubles left and right. The only problem her mother has besides her and the existence of her sister is the fish she has trouble scaling.
“Let’s split up so that they have to as well,” Gwen said to Ace.
“No, it would be better if we stayed together so that if things get t

Like Ace said, they had eventually come up to some hills. The area was more open, with trees being sparsely scattered over the land. Gwen was actually able to see the sky and stars, which was a greatly appreciated change from running through the forest for the past hour. They had managed to lose the guards at some point but it was still too risky going back, especially because it was dark.To say that her lungs were burning her was an understatement. Never in her life was she required to run for that long and that fast. There were times when she would slow down and let Ace pull her, but for the most part, she ran on her own. The fear of the guards catching up to her was what kept her going. Gwen was also sure that her muscles had probably all been burned off by the lactic acid in her limbs.She and Ace caught their breath on the other side of a hill, making sure to still stay vigilant even when they are trying to stay alive. She would be m

It seemed like the both of them could not sleep. The situation they were in was way too serious to fall asleep through. Gwen would seriously hate herself if she fell asleep. But luckily, she was not tired in the slightest. It surprised her because after running for so long she expected her body to give up and make her fall. But instead of feeling sleepy, she actually felt more alive. Her heart thumped loudly in her chest and Gwen was hyper-aware of her surroundings. Her ears would twitch whenever she heard a sound and goosebumps would break out on her skin.Ace was seated opposite to her. They had not even bothered to make a fire, fearing it would act as a beacon. So instead, the two hugged themselves for warmth. Gwen could barely see him because they were seated in the darkness, his outline was the most visible to her.“Since we are not currently at each other’s throat. Tell me about your oh-so-great life. It seems like you th

Gwen placed her hand on Ace’s back and pushed him forward. “That’s all you soldier boy.”He gave her an incredulous look, “It seems like when it really counts you’re just useless. What about all that talk about beating me in combat.”“That’s when I fell up for it. I’m not up for it. But since you like to act invincible, you can definitely take them on. And about beating you in combat, I’m sure I would have won our not so long ago fight.”“Are you bringing that up to stroke your ego? Who’s now being the peacock here?”“I’ve been around you too much.” Gwen shuddered.“Can the two of you stop talking, flirting, whatever you’re doing.” one of the guards said.Gwen narrowed her eyes at the person who said that. It was the third person to the left, in the

On their way back, Gwen did not shut up. Since they did not have anything that would be of any use to them. She had to take off her army jacket and wrap it around her hand to keep it from getting infected. When they were stopping off in the base to see if they should leave or approach the soldiers, they left their bags there just in case they would need to move fast. Which they did, but it was still a foolish move in the end. They were in such dangerous times and since they knew that the life of a soldier isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, it was a bad move to leave their first aid at the base. They were definitely going to get shit from the General for what they did.“What if some parasite crawls into the wound and I die? What if some but get stuck in it. What if a swarm of mosquitoes attacks me, they like blood don’t they?”“I’m actually hoping all those things would happen if it would mean you would

The usual morning assembly took place during breakfast, and that meant that there were important matters that needed to be discussed. Gwen wished she could convince the General to make this a usual thing but she was sure that he would just ignore her and move on with his life. “After Chester and Puckett came back yesterday, a team was sent to look for and examine the bodies of the guards they had dealt with but after a while of searching, there were no bodies. There was an area that clearly showed that there had been a fight as blood was found. But there was no one there.” General Zachary said. “That’s creepy,” Gwen murmured into her food. “And so now we can only assume they went back to Paria-Drae because it would not make any sense to stay here. With the increased activity from their side, it can be assumed they are actively preparing to start the war. The sending of people would have been for them to get a sense of o

THE SECOND ARC The General, Lieutenant General, and the Major General, along with Captain Marcus and some lower-ranking officers, were standing in front of the soldiers. The atmosphere of the pavilion was heavy. No one had eaten a thing and everyone sat completely still. The tension, making everyone’s muscles freeze. It was the next day and as General Zachary said, things would go back to being serious. The scary thing was that no one had an idea of how when the enemy would hit them and their only way to know was with the intel of the border guard. And once they knew, then it would leave only a small window to get ready. Which was why the preparations for offense were what the conversation was going to be about. The great thing was that the forest was way too thick for any sort of vehicle to pass through. And even horses had a tough time making their way through. It was doable for them, but a rider definitely would not

As if there wasn’t a reason to hate Paria-Drae even more, they just kept proving that they were the worst type of people, because once again, they had decided to once again invade the forest in the early hours of the day, meaning that she had to be woken up earlier than she would have wanted. But this time, she was not woken up by alarms but by her comrades.“Come on, they’re here.” was the only thing she needed to hear in order to wake up.The alarm was not sounded obvious because they did not want the Paria-Drae army to know that they knew they were there. Her stomach did multiple somersaults and her steps were slow when walking to gather with the group.Apparently, the General had decided to go with her plan. It was honestly a shock to her as well as everyone else and Gwen wanted to see what Ace’s face looked like, but that was far from the priority. Ok, maybe it was like the third or somet

Gwen just followed. She had no idea how far they would be going and she didn’t ask any questions. She was sure that no one had the will to answer anything that she would ask anyway. The forest was almost pitch black and they all walked as silently as possible at a steady pace, but they made sure that their footsteps were not heavy. She had to strain her eyes a great deal in order to see in front of her. But that was not really what she needed to see, in front of her was just another soldier and it did not help her to see because they were wearing camouflage which definitely did its job.She had to keep her eyes on the ground for most of the time she was walking and it was hard but she managed not to trip. If she had then it would have messed her up and possibly others as well. It was too heavy of a time for her to do something like that.After some walking, they came to a stop at some random point in the forest. It was random until s
