The wind was quiet this time of night. Everything was still but not alone. The full moon cast a ray of light over the meadow where three people circled a crackling fire. They lay back looking at the full moon trying to think about what just took place. The emptiness that was filling Jeneva heart was far too much for companions to talk her through.

Jeneva sat up and looked at her semi blood stained hands and ran them through her hair. Jari tilted his head to the side and looked at the back of Jeneva head. As the moon played on her short black hair Jari couldn't help but to see the anguish of Jeneva face as well. He wanted to reassure her that everything was going to be ok and that they did the right thing. But somewhere in his heart he knew couldn't believe it fully. He thought to himself that they did the best they could while clinching his fist.

Suddenly Dais stood up and looked at the burning village from a far. He crossed his arms while slightly filling the open cuts on his biceps. He squeezed his arm and let the pain fester in his body not wanting to show his emotions.

"We can't stay here they might come for us." Jari calmly replied to the silence around them.

The stoic girl dug her nails into the ground while her other hand rested on her knee. She quietly but eagerly replied "I know" and stood up while picking up her sword. Jari watched her controlled movement as she stood and noticed the look in her eyes. Jari stood up with bow in hand and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Jeneva looked into his eyes searching for something, some kind of hope/escape. But she could not see what she could no longer feel. Jeneva holstered her weapon looked at their village one more time and slowly walked the other direction. Jari and Dasi followed close behind.

That village was there home, there memories but most of all their families. The only thing left of that village was them. They were best friends that grew up in a time in which oligarchy reined. An oligarchy of light and darkness were political orders that were strictly defined by the people born into it. The darkness was the moon while the light was the sun. People were able to use their power based on the length of darkness and light. Since each year it could play different in favor of light or dark. To keep man in line they had to make sure the people of the light and people of the dark were separated so they could live harmonious. The basic instinct of man is to survive and they didn't want one over powering the other. However, Jeneva, Dasi, and Jari were different because they were empowered by both sides.

That is why the kingdom of light attacked their village of darkness or in their case their 12th village of light because the village was hiding the last three remaining crossbreeds. The light was on a mission of purging the earth of this infestation. There are 12 dark village and 12 light and the 13th are kingdoms. In which the leader of both opposition live and the people of riches stay. The kingdoms of darkness were much more welcoming to these crossbreeds because time has favored the darkness for 10 years. But there were some that felt the same way, some which lived in these small villages as the three friends did and were promised riches by the light kingdom when their time came again.

The people of the light were the first to break the treaty of separation 60 years ago echoing a nonstop need for dominance throughout history. But this 10 year hiatus has put them at bay since their ruling of 30 years beforehand.

Dasi was rubbing the back of head and said "So what are we going to do now?"

Jeneva jumped into tree bushes as they followed behind. A hand covered Dasi mouth as he was about to ask another question. Then Jari and Dasi saw the men/women of darkness with guns/swords saying I swore they went this way and then kept running on.

"That was close" exclaimed Jari.

Jeneva jumped down and continued walking. Jari chased after her and grabbed her by the shoulder demanding her to slow down. She shrugged him off. Jari then grabbed her arm and then she then pushed him incredibly hard into a tree making the slow Dasi fall the rest of the way down on top of Jari.

Jari explained to her in a sharp tone saying "I don't know what your problem is but you have to calm down. I know you lost a lot but so did we. Listen all we have is each other now, so stop acting like we are the enemy.

Jari pushed Dasi off and walked up to Jeneva and hugged her. He felt her trembling slowly deplete.

Jeneva unclenched her fist and nodded slowly.

Then Dasi came out of nowhere and joined the group hug by picking them both up with his mighty strength. Jari and Jeneva almost died and they all let out a little laugh.

Dasi slapped both of them on the back and said "So where do we go now."
