Chapter two:

Kurogane hated this war. It was just plain wrong. No one knew the reason for it except the kings of both sides, to be honest, kurogane doubted even they knew. He had live this life, climbing the ranks, since he was eighteen – seven years ago – and he was sick of the same old routine day by day; wake up in the blood of your brothers. Scream, aim, FIRE! Then back to sleep in the same, if you could. The men didn't even have a camp, they were forced to sleep in the trenches amongst those who still fought, and they only got minimal supplies once a week.

Kurogane spent all day, every day, hungry, thirsty, and sleep-deprived, taking the lives of so many soldiers on the other side so they couldn't take his.

The doctor had told him that despite the loss of an arm, he was still fit to fight. 'What!?' Kurogane thought as he processed the news. He didn't want to fight, he wouldn't. He'd had enough of this war. He decided to leave. That night, before he was sent back to fight, he'd slip out and escape in the forest. So what if he'd be labelled a coward? This wasn't even his country any way. He'd been sent to help fight with numerous other men and boys from Nihon. He'd go back home, he'd be a hero there. The country had been bullied into this war, they'd never backed it, and the people there would love him for refusing to fight. He didn't even know the name of the country he was fighting for. Besides, they'd never catch him, he was too clever.

Fai had known Ashura so long but he'd never seen him so bloodthirsty. As soon as his father mysteriously died and Ashura became king, he had started this war. He hadn't even consulted Fai or explained it to him, and he was supposed to be his adviser. The two men had grown up together and had been friends ever since they'd met, Fai wasn't sure why. Maybe it was because he was so young and was excited that the kings son had taken an interest in him. It wasn't until recently that Fai had realised how much he hated his king. Not until he had gone against him and started this war and forced him to fight in it. Now he'd never get close enough to Ashura to have another chance of stopping it. He may as well just leave. Yes! He'd leave! Go start a life somewhere else far away from this psycho! He could go live in the enemy country, so long as no one found out his origin he'd be fine. Yes, that would teach that bastard a lesson. Stop it from the other side and then make sure Ashura knew it was him that had done it! This was a brilliant plan!
