More than two weeks had passed since Eryn disappeared. Though we never found a body, the broken bond hung on my status window like a tragic memento. I had to face the bitter reality that she had died in this war. Many times, I told myself that I could have done better. That there was
“Fire! Fire! Don’t let him through! It’s only one man!” Shots echoed across the battlefield, focused on one area. While there truly was only a single target walking towards them, that gave them no sense of relief. Rather, the scattered bodies that had been carved to pieces around him only made them fire faster in
