Chapter 2 - Interrogation

The air warrior slipped back into consciousness. He was in the corner of a small, dimly lit earth tent. The slabs of rock which made the walls were smooth, whilst the ground was rough underneath him. He looked up through the hole in the top of the earth tent and saw the stars. All he could remember was flying above the earth army, then blackness.

"So you're awake" came a voice the opposite end of the tent. Yochinn stepped out of the shadow and looked at his captive. He was not a man as he first thought but a boy, about the same age as him. The feature that made him look manly was his short rough moustache and goatee.

"Hows your chest" laughed Yochinn. The air warrior tried to speak but all he could manage was a groan.

"I see" said Yochinn.

"Why" groan the air warrior.

"Why what, twee tie" teased Yochinn.

"What have we ever done to you" the air warrior said.

"Don't play stupid, stupid" Yochinn replied

"You know perfectly well what you did". The air warrior looked at him blankly.

"IT'S BECAUSE YOU ATTACKED US FIRST" Yochinn shouted.

"Did you personally see us" retorted the hostage.

"No" Yochinn said boringly.

"Then how did you know it was us" stated the air warrior.

"GET LOST, ARE YOU SAYING IM SUPOSSED TO BELEAVE YOU OVER MY OWN COUNTRY" Yochinn shouted again.

"What your people saw were vulchers, from below they look like gliders and they are the same size, if they swoop they can be deadly" the air warrior protested.

"Yer right" Yochinn said sarcastically.

"please, we're peaceful people, come and see, I'll prove it to you' the air warrior pleaded. Yochinn looked at him curiously and was about to saw something when his general walked in.

"You did great in your first battle Yoch……" he stopped.

"WHY IN GODS NAME DO YOU HAVE A HOSTAGE" he screamed.

"I, I thought I could get some information" Yochinn stuttered.

"WHAT INFORMATION YOU IDIOT" he screamed again. The general's face had now gone bright red and his nostrils flared. His neat hairstyle was messy, whether from the battle or the rage Yochinn did not know, and his hands were clenched in fists turning his knuckles white.

"W, well I don't know" Yochinn stuttered for the second time.

"THIS ONLY GIVES THEM" he yelled pointing at the air warrior.

"ANOTHER REASON TO STRIKE BACK, RELEASE HIM FIRST THING TOMMORROW MORNING".

"Sir Yes sir," Yochinn said shamefully, and the furious general steamed out.

Yochinn was walking toward mantra with his head bowed when his soon to be free hostage said.

"I'm Narim by the way, what's your name"?

"Yochinn" mumbled Yochinn with his head still down.

"Nice to meet you Yochinn" Narim said confidently. Yochinn lifted his head and looked at him in an, are you for real kind of way.

"Like I said" Narim started.

"The air warriors are peaceful, come with me and I'll show you, or please just stop attacking us". Yochinn thought about all of what Narim had said whilst they were walking and once he let him go his curiosity got the better of him and he followed him to the wall, which he had attacked only yesterday.
