The first rays of sun are shown in the sky, the general wake everyone up and everyone gather with their horses.
The Grega general stands beside Lixin and says "we have a message from king Elizel, he says he and some men are back to the capital and a messanger told the people that the war is almost over and we have to kill the remaining men"
The general cross his arms "there is no option to fail now" the grega general look at the castle and says "we could bring down their walls easily with the help of astitare and our weapons" the general look at the walls, seeing the silhouette of the man still staring at them.
The general look at his men, now one third of when they came, seeing their eyes lower and their black circles under their eyes, Ai running here and there helping everyone and talking with them, he close his eyes and sighs massively, he walks among them and goes on the back, seeing the tents and seven large chests spread all at their entrance, he opens them one by one seeing only two cannons at each, he then look back with the edge of his eyes watching his soldiers looking at him, he rise and goes again and look at the castle, seeing the man still standing there, the general eyes immediately focus on him and his eyebrows are pulled together, Vasil comes from his tent and goes behind Lixin "we have stretched our forces across the castle" Lixin look at him with anger "why have you done this?" Vasil surprised says "I believed that you would agree on starving them, it's our only option right now" "they may have reinforcements on their way, regroup all the soldiers" "and what if reinforcements do not come?" "They will come, that's why we must take the castle back, regroup them now"
Vasil raise his voice "I will not send my men towards death" Lixin raise his voice too "regroup them or you will see Grega fall on Konstantin's hands and do not forget your king placed me in charge, I can easily tell him to decapitate your head" Vasil's eyes ignite a flame and he leaves going to some soldiers and shouting "regroup our men" Lixin turn his back and goes inside the camp.
the night falls and everything is pitch black, The Huagjin turn their eyes on the Grega having their backs faced on them and a tall blonde haired woman at their side on top of a rock, having her hands gently on her chest and slowly close her eyes as she sing with a bittersweet tone
The Grega soldier's eyes glisten and they silently raise their arms and weapons, the woman stand still with a plaintive look.
Ai goes and asks Eirana "what did she said?" Eirana look at her plaintive and says with a broken voice
"Mother your sons and daughters came to free you from the chains of terror.
We will fly up high, with the wings carrying your body.
We will fly across the barren lands and we will turn them to the golden past.
We will hold your sacred crown
We will hold you high and we will stay at your side at the end of time"
Ais spine shivers and she look at Eirana who turn her gaze at the woman.
Vasil goes forward along with general Lixin, the grey castle faintly being seen from behind and both start speaking in their language each facing their army "remember the reason we are here, we are fighting for the name of the emperor, we are here to expand our power and maintain the emperor's order" the soldiers scream on top of their lungs and they raise the cannons, Klaeben look at them standing still with his mind elsewhere.
The soldiers speard in all side, Klaeben and the others follow the general, as they approach they see holes all over the ground, archers show up and the man starts firing his canon, the general and the others go inside one of the holes, the horses slow down and arrows start falling on them, they jump from the horses hearing the arrows piercing thekr skin, arros continue to fall and everyone place their shields, suddenly they hear the wind whistling, the general shouts "move" they take their shields and follow him, dodging the arrows, Klaeben look for a glimpse at the tower and sees lighting strucking it, the arrows stop for a while and the general and the others reach the wall, a lighting struck beside them and opens a hole in the wall, Lixin look inside and sees soldier running on the stairs of the wall, more come running to the cracks and enter inside and as they enter Klaeben use the preaka and twist the stairs making soldiers fall to their death, sweat comes from his forehead and continues, Anjian and the others use bows and kill the soldoers on the wall.
Lixin sees the man turning on them and placing powder on the cannon along with more men turning their bows on the group's heads, the group raise their shields and

Lixin and the others move inside the houses, opening the doors and quickly killing whoever soldier they see, along with some men and women killed because the fear of resistance, making Ai drop a tear.
from the cobble road upwards they see more soldiers and they kill them, they continue towards the castle hearing the man laughing and the sound of explosions and screams.
Vasil and Grega's soldiers show from behind them and as they walk they see lines of men with their shields up protecting the road, from behind they hear Vasil and the others charging, Lixin shouts "wait" Vasil and the others stop and raise their shields as arrows start fly to the sky, Lixin says "Vasil, don't you remember what happened at the village? They sure have placed a trap by a matra" "you are right, we will be more careful, tell your soldier to use the preaka to build a wall along with the others from the right side, Lixin shouts Klaeben start building a wall, Klaeben look infront of him and two wall opposite to one another getting build, he help along with the other preaka and the enemy spldiers try to put the stones down, Klaeben sweat starts flowing he rebuilds it again only for the enemy to destroy it but he rebuilds it again, and many at the enemy lines fall to their knees, with Klaeben standing with his breath becoming heavy, Vasil says "Lixin you and your soldiers pass the lines through the houses" Lixin nods his head and the Grega soldiers pass inside the walls with small explosions happening outaide only making the walls tremble.
They push through the enemy lines, creating a gap close to the houses for the general and others to pass and going inside the castle, opening the doors and seeing soldiers guarding the place, they move killing many men and women and going up the stairs, They open another door and from the corner they hear strong sounds of bricks.
The general walks first with Klaeben following centimeters behind him, the general place his sword forward and slowly look at the corner, he gasps and stands still, the others look at the other side of the corner seeing a woman with lumps all over her body and tree veins coming from her open wounds where the organs are shown as she bangs her head against the walls with force, having her one eyeball cut in half and the other extending out with the veins keeping it intact, Ai slowly place her hand on the shoulder of the women, feeling the veins of the tree that run on the woman's body.
Ai gently push her back and the woman falls shaking and banging her head and arms on the floor, Klaeben grabs her shoulder and push her closer to him.
The general look at a wooden door at the right end of the room and slowly opens it, he makes a step back as he look at men and women having the same fate as the woman.
Lixin gets closer, seeing them all freeze but hearing their slow and deep breaths clearly, he takes his sword and quickly decapitates their head, the others come and see the dead bodies with no stains of blood coming from them, the general steps out of the room but from behind he hears another breath below, he look with the edge of his eye at the ground seeing a head of a female being covered with veins of trees and leaves on her open neck,
Lixin pierce with his spear and the breath stops violently.
He look at the others watching with fear at the bodies and Ai murmurs "this is what happened to anna and her mother" the general face stays calm
"We must go, we will talk later about this" they rush to the stairs and reach the upper rooms, they open large dark wooden doors and they see king Konstantin descending from a large ladder.
Lixin runs to stops him and an explosion happens in front of him and as the dust rise he sees the man on the wall holding his cannon high, Lixin look at him and the man shoots again and again, Lixin's eyes wide open and Infront of him a wall appears, Lixin is thrown back and Klaeben takes heavy breaths and they go inside and run with the man shooting again and again at the door and roof crumbling and falling as his laugh pierce everyone's ears.
The group reach the lower levels of the castle and Klaeben shouts "we must kill him" Lixin says swiftly "we will, Anjian and Swaiwan try to find Konstantin, the rest follow me" the others follow and they go outside looking at the walls and the Grega soldiers trying to kill the man only to burn.
Lixin and the other reach the walls and walk seeing the man looking at them as the fires rise beside him "let us relieve a moment of the past, now where no one will intervene to reweave it" the group slowly approach him, the man raise his hands holding two small flasks with a brown substance, his smile curved until his ears and he show his white teeth "now you will be the perfect specimen To the renew disease that destroyed a nation" the general throw his spear and the man dodge it, the man let one of the flasks from his hand and falls to the crowd of soldiers, he look below and laughs loud and he then look at the others "let's see if it can work on you" the man throws it with force at them and breaks right in front of their legs and the others step back except Klaeben who push Ai further and rush to the man as he
riase his cannon and shoot the walls repeatedly behind Klaeben, making them crumble.
the man smile at Klaeben as he look the others standing still on the other side and at the fallen walls and swiftly turn and the man lock his canon on him, adrenaline rush into Klaebens body and jump on the edge of the wall dodging the explosion, the man lock again on Klaeben, they both stay still with the man looking at Klaebens eyes and Klaeben looking at the cannon, the man slowly press it and Klaeben gets ready to jump, the man takes his thumb and suddenly he press it repeatedly and Klaeben dodge it again and again, clouds stats raising and Klaeben starts losing his balance with the coarse and force curved walls, the man presses his cannon again and it only leaves smoke he smile at Klaeben
And he look at him breathing heavily, he raise his arm and beneath the man's legs the wall starts falling, he steps back quickly and still smiling at Klaeben, he slowly place his gloves and the wires and the round device and on his other hand having a slim blade "can I know your name?" Klaeben says nothing as he has his longsword forward, the man laughs and asks "CAN I know your name?" Klaeben says inside his teeth "Amstel"
"Amstel" the man laughs "that's not your real name is it? I have learned many things over my past lives" Klaeben try again to move the ground beneath him but the man dodge it "I know for what you are fighting, look beneath me at the right" Klaeben slowly take his gaze and sees Ai looking at him as the others push the enemy and after a glimpse she takes her look at the battlefield, Klaeben look back at the man and continues as he step a foot closer "I know this feeling from first hand, the human nature to protect and preserve something beautiful" Klaeben continues to stare at him with fire on his eyes "oh don't look at me with that face" "you killed countless people with no remorse" the man laughs
"Why should I care? They will die and be reborn again forgetting everything instead of me who I will die and remember everything, their lives don't mean anything "
Klaeben look at him with the fire in his eyes burning brighter.
The man step a foot closer "do you really care for them? Or are you following the ambitions of this woman like a dog?" klaeben mouth stays close and more sweat flows on his forehead, the man step back as more of the walls fall "if you side with us I will give you my word that you and the others will stay safe, we will let you walk away and live the rest of eternity as you please"
The man makes a half step forward and
Klaeben starts moving the ground again and the man rush at Klaeben and as he step closer the ground beneath him falls, the man makes a jump behind and as he is in the air Klaeben comes and push the sword forward, the man place his glove forward and lighting comes out and the force pushes him back.
He watch his glove having a scratch and he look at Klaeben and then at the battle beneath, the enemy leaving along with Konstantin and the general forming lines with cannons and locking at Klaeben and the man as they deflect each others attacks, Klaeben push him back almost to the edge and the man's glove start lighting "if I cannot convince you with words then I will do it with force, if you don't come with us I will make it sure myself to torture her in this life and the next and the next, maybe she could make for a fine specimen" Klaeben eyes spark and he almost push him out of the edge, the man lose his balance and Klaeben push his sword with force and the man swiftly place the glove in front of the sword, sparking lighting all over the metal and strucking Klaebens chest, pushing him in the other side and laying down, the man grunts and grit his teeth with a smile.
From below he sees the general and the soldiers making a line with their cannons reaching until Klaeben's side "you see how irreplaceable you are towards them" Klaeben tries rise and falls and kneel with his one foot forward, looking over the crowd of mostly his comrade and at Ai yelling at the general, he then look at the general having his hands crossed and looking threatening at him, the general slowly raise his arm, the man smile and rush over to Klaeben, klaeben place his hands down and makes a wall between him and the cannons, the man rush and jumps down from the wall,
Klaeben feels his heart skipping beats, the wall beside him gets destroyed and dust rise all over, he slowly rise his head and sees the man descending from the other side firing with his cannon at a division and leaving
Klaeben slowly crawls and ladders show up, he descends and he reach to the general, saying with a weak voice "what was that for?" "It was to throw him over the wall" "I could be dead now if I didn't create the wall" alixin doesn't respond Ai gets ready to yell at the general but Kaleben yells over her voice "and what if I didn't make it? What would you do in this situation?" The general eyed stay threatening "we would continue without you" Klaeben grit his teeth and the general walks away.
Ai stands beside Klaeben "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him" Klaeben sigh massively "it's not your fault or anyone's else, it's this asshole" Klaeben and Ai hear footsteps behind them, they look behind and see Fenhua, Swaiwan and Eirana running and Anjian walking calmly at the back, Fenhua talks first "are you okay? We saw from afar the lighting" Klaeben look again at the general talking with Vasil and a man who rides his horse away.
Klaeben turn and sees Ai looking at him with worry, they both stay silent and Fenhua broke the silence "well you can at lear say that it almost worked
Klaeben close his eyes and place his hands as Fenhua continues "I mean right now he is probably in the bed crying or laughing" Klaeben shouts "it's not the time for jokes Fenhua" Fenhau steps back and look around seeing Swaiwan looking at him with an angry stare and Anjian laughing silently and taking her look away.
Fenhua takes a deep breath and says "I'm sorry" Klaeben leaves and Ai follows him, she grabs Klaebens arm and says "you will not do anything crazy Will you?" Klaeben takes his hand and says "as long as you are here no" and leaves.
The sun sets high and
Klaeben enters inside and walks behind the general as he keep his eyes locked on the map "what is it again?" Klaeben raise his voice and echoing in the house "From the very beginning of our previous lives you always wanted me dead"
" I don't want you dead, I want you as Alive as possible to repay" Klaeben walked in front of the general, smashing his hand on the table "I will not tolerate hearing this nonsense" "because it's the truth?" "me,my family and everyone else has nothing to do with this sick treatment of yours"
"We lost land and years of progress because of you, it is only fair to repay us" Klaeben look the general with anger and raise his fist but the general catch it and hits him back, throwing him with force at the ground and saying "the next time I won't be so soft" Klaeben rise and the general look at him in the eyes "even if you lead a small army and saved me one time it is not enough to give me a damm about your life"
Their eyes of both spark a flame.
The general slowly turn and place his hand on the wide grey wooden table "now let me focus on my map"
Klaeben walks outside shutting the door with force, taking a deep breath and walking at the stone roads of the castle, looking at the tall grey half fallen walls and the Grega soldiers placing bricks at the holes at the fallen parts of the wall, Klaeben then look beside him seeing two Grega soldiers looking at him and making a small bow, Klaeben look at them with his eyes looking with wonder along with his heart skipping a beat, he continues walking a bit faster, looking at the stone and wooden houses, some houses having two and three rooms above them along with paintings of a woman and people facing her and walking on the wheat and nature, he continues and goes towards one of of the house walking toward the door seeing from the window Fenhua playing his flute, he almost open the door before hearing the soft deep breaths of Ai, he turn his look at the right seeing her red cheeks through the darkness and above a black blanket, Klaeben goes beside her and sits "why don't you come inside?" Ai dart and look at him with her eyes opening before they almost close
"It not right sleeping in someone's house we murdered"
"So you will stay outside all night?" Ai smorks "you must go inside, you will get cold" Kkaeben gets up and opens the door, Ai's smile continues to be curved on he face, soon the door opens again and Klaeben comes outside with another black blanket and sits beside her "you shouldn't come out, you will get cold" Klaeben lean his head back "I wanted to keep you company" Ai laughs and quickly their eyes slowly close and their heads fall on each other.
The sun rise and bells ring through the castle, Klaeben and Ai get up and Fenhua opens the door with force, pulling his arms up and yawning loudly, he look at Ai and Klaeben and says full of energy "hot night wasn't it?" And laughs, Anjian comes out and Fenhua says"tell Swaiwan to come outside, the weather is really nice" Anjian look at him with half an eye "he said he wants to stay inside and write in his notebook" Fenhua laughs loud "oh well bad for him he will miss the fun in the city"
As Fenhua makes a step a brick falls from one of the buildings in front of his feet,
Anjian steps further and with an almost audible voice she says "I will walk alone"
They walk on the cobble streets, seeing destroyed houses.
Fenhua passes between two men hearing them coughing loudly, the others follow him and soon they pass through more men and women hearing them coughing.
, Klaeben says inside his teeth "something is wrong" Anjian look at him "they are just a bit sick, it happens when you are fighting for your life for almost a month" soon they pass through an old man yelling at two Grega soldiers and pointing on a fallen house, the soldiers punch him in the stomach and shout in their language with a superior tone, Ai eyes wide open and runs to the man helping him stand, the soldier look at her and she raise her eyes on them with her eyebrows pulled together.
The soldiers raise their arms and Klaeben walks in front of them, their eyes open wide and speak on their language and make a small bow and leave, Klaeben look at them first with wrath and then with wonder "what was that reaction?" Ai help the man get up man and then he bow to them and Ai says "they must be soldiers that survive the fight at the village" Fenhua hits lightly Klaeben on his back "congrats, you are now famous at Grega" Klaeben look at him with a neutral face.
They walk at the gate and Ai steps forward and says "I'm sorry I have to check on something" and she runs to the field with Klaeben and Fenhua looking at her before Fenhua says "one by one they leave, at least now wd can be the two of us" Klaeben nods his head looking forward and says nothing, Fenhua continues to talk with his loud voice as they walk.
Ai runs towards the green hills looking at silhouettes some standing some kneeling, she gets closer and look at Eirana having her hands on her head
Ai walks closer and says "Eirana is everything alright?" Eirana doesn't respond, looking intensely at the hills,
Seeing people tied with their clothes stripped and having cuts all over their bodies, along with a Grega soldier looking at them with a whip in his hand, hitting them with all his strength and hearing the whip and the screams, Ai then pulls Eiranas hands and says "Eirana we have to go help your brother" Eirana snap and look at Ai with her muscles tighten and starts walking.
Eirana and Ai strode to the hill and Eirana face looking more worried with her fingers moving up and down,she look at one of the men, far younger than her, she stops her fingers and kneel and place her hands on the face of her brother "papyrus please, leave your devotion to king Konstantin and come with me" papyrus spit at the face of Eirana "you speak about reunion when you killed half our family with your father?" Eirana gasp "I didn't had a choice" papyrus shake his whole body, the shackles cling and his wrists start bleeding, painting the right side of the shackles, Eirana shout "they were ready to kill us"
Papyrus says nothing and shake his body.
Eirana feel a pain in her chest and she starts walking away with quick steps, Ai follow her and they walk
towards a green hill many meters away and
Eirana let herself sit on the green hill with the grass reaching her shoulder, Ai sits besides her with the grass reaching her head "Eirana it will take time for your brother to understand"
Eirana let her hands on the dirt and look with a pale face at Ai "I don't know if he will ever believe me, Ai I killed almost all of our family but I didn't had a choice when Konstantin came to our village, he said he will take every piece of land From our family if we do not devote το him, and my father stayed royal to Elizel and the rest of my family royal to Konstantin" she makes a pause "we slaughter each other because of our beliefs for the nation" her words came faster "will things be different if I didn't take a side?".
Ais hands open as they touch the grass "you should insist on talking to him, someday he will finally accept to listen to you and see the truth through your consistent actions" Eirana lean her head back "until then I have to suffer from his words" "in the end your suffer will bebfor the better of both of you" Eirana leand her head even lower and whispers "I dont know how to repay you for everything you did" Ai smile brightly "I told you you dont need to repay me, it's my passion to help people" Eirana look at her and ooen her mouth, she rakes a deep breath and she coughs loud "im sorry, im like this from the morning" "you must go and rest" Eiranas eyes slowly close and open, she slowly gets uo taking a deep breath and placing her hand onnher forehead "not yet, im going to talk one last time at papyrus for today and bring him some food" shw smirk "not that our food is better than that of the prisoners"
Ai gets up and walk back together making small chattings and Eirana coughing getting more frequent.
Ai watch her coughing and covering her mouth with her arms, after the cough stops eirana take her palms from her mouth and Ais and her eyes open wide, seeing blood on her arms.
Eirana let out a short scream and Ai grab her shoulder "we should go to a varina Eirana focus back on Ai and they start running around, from a close distance they see Vasil talking with three people, Ai runs at him and Eirana follow her behind with slow steps, Ai goes in front of his face and shouts "where is a varina?" The general says swiftly they are at one of the houses, follow the road and you will find it by the crowd of the people" Ai makes a sign for Eirana to follow her and they reach the brick house and Ainsees a moderate crowd outside sitting or waiting in lines.
Ai and Eirana wait in the lines and Eirana starts coughing again, her breath slowly becomes heavier and heavier, Ai look around her and see many of the soldiers with the same symptoms, as they slowly approach the door with many of the people walking at the door and leaving the finally reach the door and it opens, Ai and Eirana see a young man leaning on the edge of the door and staring at them, Ai and Eirana go inside and they see men and women sweating endlessly and sitting on the tables with their heads low, Eirana moves forward and a woman gets up and before Eirana talks she place her hands on Eiranas chest, Eirana breath goes to normal and the woman kneels, Ai and Eirana help her sit and she says inside her teeth "I'm fine, leave now" Ai and Eirana leave and they see more and more men gathering at lines and reaching until the opposite buildings, Ai turn her eyes on Eirana starring at her with worry and Eirana says "i have to go to my brother"
Klaeben and Fenhua sit on the right side of the wall, watching the Grega soldiers pulling the chains of the prisoners, making them fall and kicking them until they get up Klaeben look at them with a glooming face and then Fenhua looking at the prisoners and continue walking.
He look in front of him and he hit a mans head, he look at him and the man says "Fenhua you stupid asshole" "oh dokebi what's up?" Dokebi walk past him and hits him with his shoulder "the next time watch where you go asshole" Fenhua point his finger at Dokebi and says "you know I cannot see something this short"
Dokebi look at him with anger, he suddenly coughs and continues, Fenhua laughs and continues walking.
Klaeben follows him looking at him slowly losing his smile and just looking plaintively at the distance, Klaeben goes beside him and says "I see you know this man" "yeah we were chatting for some time but I got bored quickly" he place his hands behind his head and they continue.
As they walk they see lines of people outside a house, they get closer and the pungent smell of vomit burns their noses, they look at some buckets being filled to the top with blood and many crawling towards the door, Fenhua says "we better leave from here" Klaeben goes close and make the ground lean, moving it with the people towards the door, he stands still for a moment looking at the lines and then she sees Ai helping the people, Klaeben goes close "Ai what is happening?" Ai takes a deep breath and says "everyone has started with small symptoms and now they are here spitting blood" from over Ais shoulder Klaebens sees soldiers running, they stop behind Ai and say "general Lixin wants to talk to you to his house" Ai says "I can't leave the people in this state" the soldier reply "that's why we are here, now please go" Klaeben and Ai take Fenhua and go to the house and ho inside seeing The rest of them gathered at the house, they all stand still in a corner or sit on a chair and Klaeben says "a sickness has spread all over the town" Swaiwan says "you are exaggerating, it's normal for a sickness to decimate a part of an army after a war" Kleaben shout
"People are spilling blood from their mouth" Swaiwan's eyes wide open and Fenhua jumps from his seat and says "well that's what you miss when you don't come for a walk with us" Klaeben and Swaiwam grit their teeth and Lixin says
"It's not a simple disease, this man sure has some part on it" he makes a pause and says "now we have to move even faster than before"
Ai asks "do you know where they are?"
"They are moving towards the great mountain"
Anjian says inside her teeth "so many battles and we still don't know who they are, useless" Lixin ignores her and he continues "I will inform the Grega general to embark as quickly as possible" Ai asks "and what about the ill?"
"They are our top priority and the varina know it, they will cure them all in two days"
Klaeben fills "if they cure them then we do not have to worry on finding them, after all they are going to
escape through the great mountain" Lixin grunts "we do not know if the disease will retreat, it may even come out again" everyone stays silent and
Ai lower her head and her eyes glisten for a heartbeat and then she look back at them Klaeben says "then let's leave this place, we did our job we don't have any more reason to be here" Lixin cross his hands "we will not leave until I'm sure Konstantin it's dead" Klaeben says "he tries to escape through the great mountain He is dead for sure" "not until I see it" "think of the soldiers for one moment, don't you want them to live?"
Klaeben and Lixin stare at each other with threatening eyes, Anjian close her eyes and moves them away and Ai says "Klaeben we have to agree with the general, this man is dangerous and he may already have another plan"
"Ai they are going to die in this place, if we hunt them in the frozen lands we may die there or worse find him alive" Ai's eyes fall to the ground, the general says "they will either die at the battle or from the disease" "you cannot be sure about it" Lixin turns his back and walks at the door "I'm going to speak with Vasil, until then enjoy your stay here for a little longer" the general close the door and Klaeben says "he is following his hate" Fenhua says with a bright voice "on the plus side at least we will reincarnate again"
Klaeben shouts "Not now Fenhua" Fenhua's face becomes pale, he backs down without saying anything and sits on the chair with his head lower, Anjia smirks and leaves a small laugh "you guys are a waste of effort"
Anjian opens the doors and shuts it with force, the rest stare at each other and Swaiwan brings out his notebook and leaving, Fenhua look at Ai and Klaeben with a pale face and says with his shoulders up "at least they said what they feel"
Ai and Klaeben leave saying nothing and Fenhua follows behind them and takes another path at the thin alleys of the town, Ai and Klaeben walk with their eyes pulled closer, saying nothing and focusing on their thoughts and before they realize they reach the house, they go inside seeing Anjian laying on her bed, Swaiwan writing and Fenhua sitting with his eyes almost closed looking at the floor.
Ai steps in the middle and says "guys please listen to me" Fenhua lift his eyes from the ground while Swaiwan and Anjian continue what they were doing "I will talk even if you don't listen to me, I know we are in a difficult position nut we shouldn't let it come to us"
Swaiwan says with a vexed voice "do you believe we want to be here? We were soldiers in our previous lives why should we be and in this one?" "Swaiwam nobody forced you to come, you can leave anytime" Swaiwan grit his teeth and continues to write, Anjian turn around and stare at them, Fenhua says "maybe deep inside he wants to stay here" Swaiwan close his book making a loud noise and he shouts "im so tired of this voice, your humor and your terrible jokes, why don't you shut up and never talk again?" Fenhua's heart skips a beat, he close his eyes and as they open he leans forward "you just don't have a taste of humor" Anjian turn and face them again with her back, Swaiwan sigh and lean back and open his notebook "it's useless, you are an idiot" Fenhua face becomes pale and he leans back, Ai takes a deep breath and continues "Swaiwan please, we can't continue if we argue all the time" "we shouldn't be here in the first place" a silence surround the room and Swaiwan breaks it
"but even though, I don't know why but even as much as I hate some of you I want to be here" Swaiwan rise and walks outside with Anjian doing the same, Fenhua lean on his bed and the other do the same.
Ai falls asleep with Klaeben hugging her tight, hearing his breath over her ear.
In the morning they go outside carrying weapons and food, watching the remaining people of the town with their clothes filled with dirt and ashes watching them with their heads down and others raising their arms and shouting "Grega" Ai and Klaeben move forward talking while Fenhua open his mouth and Swaiwan take his look away and continues
They meet with the rest and they see the lines expanding for meters, Lixin and starts mounting with a cokd face
beside Vasil and saying "your king has given me the permission to hunt them"
Vasil says "I will follow whatever benefits my nation and only this" the general cross his hands "then you will follow me" Vasil shouts "soldiers start moving"
