Belkan War Journal: Journal Entry #1: An Ember from Belka's Past.
Rhial Sultorni…that used to be a famous city I lived in. With its tower's piercing the blue skies above, this city was a national landmark to Belka. The heartland of Belka was only a 50 miles away, along with 6 other cities surrounding it like a great wall. An abandon castle stands tall in the heartland, symbolizing our great achievement over Yuketobonia 300 years ago.

I lived on the east side Rhial Sultorni. The sun would seep through my window and hit my face every morning as it rose into the gradient sky. It was a majestic moment I witnessed every day of my life.
}
As daylight came every morning, I'd see the Grislark Air Command Base. Its hangars acted like solar panels, creating a massive glare that blinded me if I caught sight. As the sun rose higher, four silver birds emerged from the hangar.
}
It was a training day; the day where the war birds take flight to practice their sorties. Their wings gleamed with the yellow BAF emblem.
I watched the sight from my balcony on the 6th floor of my apartment. All four gathered on the runway, and fired up their engines, with their afterburners screaming supersonic sounds into the distance.
These birds were quiet the sight to see when they were in action. Whenever they flew like they were fighting, it was quiet the cliffhanger to watch. Then when they decided to call it a day, they'd land and back these aluminum birds back into the hangar, letting have their deserved rest.

As time passed, the year 1995 was born. A war broke between the surrounding countries and Belka's government went from a peaceful state, to a desperate, power hungry dictatorship. As I went to work every day, it seemed as if people's faces turned from a rich happy color, to an uneasy, unhappy pale gray. Soldiers were on the streets lately, watching over all of us. It was like we were the ones being hunted and the government was about to declare war on us.
]
The date was June 6th, 1995 and things got worst fast. The government fell corrupt, and became very desperate about the war. It was like Belka was fighting in a fire fight with a 2 inch hose, while the enemy was dumping tons of nitro all over us. Everything was a mess this day. People started going nuts and panicking for their lives. I had no idea what was about to happen.
]
When I returned to my apartment, the door was wide open and objects were all over the floor. Someone had broken into my apartment and stole all my goods.
Once I got into the living room, the radio had the news playing.
"Attention citizens of North Belka. We are undergoing an emergency broadcast. Please everyone return to your homes. This broadcast…"
From what sounded like a blast over the radio, ground suddenly started to shake violently. I looked out of the window, and from that moment, I became blind from the sight of an eye incinerating light. Everything after that moment felt extremely painful and as if the ground had split apart and started to stab me.

Music Fades In: Heavy Price Paid - Halo 2
I awoke in this grey, wasteland like climate around me. I thought what just happened was a nightmare. My vision still blurred a little from the light, it was hard to see anything. All what was visible was grayness.
Nothing seemed pure in my sights. It seemed as if everything had been thrown in a blender and crushed to pieces and colored gray.
Slowly gaining my vision back, I saw a sight that made me realize the truth.
]
The Government of Belka had truly become corrupt. Once I took a couple of steps back, I stepped onto a sheet of medal. When I looked down, my stomach flipped over. "Rhial Sultorni Center" read the blue sign under my feet.
This made me realize the saddened truth. I knelt down to my feet and started to pound the ground with my fists hard, tears forming in my eyes.
"I am dead, my ashes laid in the rest of the debris along with 12,000 other victims." When I got that sentence in my head, it terrorized me for a long time.
]
Slowly beginning to lose track of the days stuck in this state, I became restless. My ashes were scattered across the ground with others, but my spirit was still alive. I felt as if I was being cursed. No one else was left in this state. Why did I have to be? It was as if I became color blind, seeing gray every day. I started to wait to see if I would be rescued, but no one ever came.
]
It seems as if a year has passed already. I have been sitting on this same ruin for a long time, waiting to be rescued. The same dull image every day, but this day seemed different. I heard a small rumble from the North.
]
I knew that sweet sound. It was the sound of fighter jets flying over head. Feeling as if I was going to be rescued, I jumped up and down and hollered for help.
The planes got closer and I got a close sight of what they were. "F-22s, the kings of the skies I thought happily, still hopes of being seen.
The planes finally got close to the point where they flew over. They started to circle around the ruins. This created a light at the end of the tunnel.
]
As the planes turned back towards me, I got up to jump around some more, trying to get their attention for a rescue. The raptors in the skies kept flying south until they were no longer visible with the mountains blocking them from my sight.
]
The light faded, and everything returned gray. My hopes again were crushed by the sight I saw.
The planes never saw me. I'm just a lost soul, stuck in a world that can't be named.
