On the Battlefield We Met

Prologue

Who can we really trust at a time of war? Friends, family, and our allies are who we turn to. Even they could be the one to deceive you, after all it happens in a game of love, and war. The man next to you is now your brother in arms. You fight for each other and in a time of war, you die for each other.

Remember Rhyias, it is only natural to develop feelings. But on that battlefield, show no mercy..

"You are not real, stay out of my head!"

"Oh, but I am Rhyias. This is only the beginning, so prepare yourself. I won't miss again."

I darted out the door immediately, with the sound of gunfire blaring in the air. By the time I made it to my extract point, I noticed the world was going spinning around me. I looked down, and saw blood running down my chest. Earth's gravity, weighed me down and brought me to my knees.

"I warned you Rhyias, we could have been together like old times."

"I trusted you…"

I gasped for air, the temperature around me was dropping by the minute. Cold sweat poured down my face.

"That is where you went wrong, Rhyias. In a game of love and war, nobody wins. If I can't win, neither would you. Trust no one Rhyias, next time you shoot, finish the job."

I laid staring point blank at the silencer aimed at my forehead.

And sighed.
