I won't bother posting the link so… sorry doods… you gotta find it for yourselves. The song for this chapter is: Clarity by Zedd. (If you can, find the Kurt Hugo Schneider cover of it. Personally I prefer this version to the original.)

After I put down the note on the conference table of the Sky Army HQ, I ran outside, carrying a bag of supplies such as a diamond sword, diamond armor, a bow, arrows, plenty of cooked food, and wood. After a few minutes of walking, I found a nice shady tree, lied my head on the moss and thought about what I would do. I've lost all my friends. Everyone I cared about no longer means anything. The only people left in the Sky Army were Ty, Ryan, Quentin, Jerome, and three others who I had forgotten the names of. All of the other recruits were either dead, missing, or kidnapped by the squids.

Oh, yes. There was one girl. The day I left, I suppose she had found the note on the table and gone looking for me. The girl had long platinum blonde hair, diamond blue and emerald green mixed eyes, and wore a white tank top with a red and black jacket (with a creeper face on back) over it, black jeans, red sneakers, and red and black headphones. She also wore black and red gloves along with a diamond necklace that had a budder center. When she found me napping under that peaceful tree, the girl came and sat next to me. I woke up to find her there and almost thought that she was the female version of Notch. That surprised me a lot.

"Who are you again?" I cautiously yawned and sat up. She glared at me in strange way.

"You don't recognize me? Come on, you have to remember," she replied. I still couldn't figure it out so she gave up trying to make me guess, "It's Sierra. Sky gave me this necklace." She showed her necklace to me and I could envision the day that Sky handed her that piece of honorary jewelry.

Sierra was one of the head swordmens, or should I say swordswomen, who fought alongside Sky and I in the final battles versus the squids. She did so well in those battles that he presented her a diamond necklace with budder in the middle to show her loyalty to the Sky Army. I clearly remember her face beaming with happiness.

"Jordan, why did you leave?" she asked me. Her face was not as cheerful as usual. Instead she had a look of worrisome that I dreaded on anyone.

"You just won't understand. How old are you anyways?"

"19."

I shrugged my shoulders, and started to lay back down until Sierra pulled me up again.

"Why did you leave?" Now her face turned from worry into anger. I decided not to mess with her.

"I regretted leaving Sky on the battlefield. I saw him in pain and I did nothing to help. Nothing! All I did was wait for others to take the initiative."

"Well Mitch did…" she commented.

"And then he got killed!"

Sierra was silent for a few moments. I thought about how I had said my own words.

"I'm sorry," I continued, "I was being offensive to Mitch. He did what he could. I can't stand the memory of that moment though. That's why I left."

"I understand." Sierra picked herself up and glared at me with little emotion on her face. For a second, I hoped she wouldn't pull out a sword and slice me into pieces. I winced at the idea. Instead she slowly shook her head, "There's nothing I can do, huh?" I forgot the idea of Sierra fighting me. She did not seem in the mood.

I shook my head as well, "Sierra, please let the others read that note as well. For my sake."

"Okay." She smiled and made her way back to HQ. I only sat on the moss watching her leave. I made no motion to go after her or to tell her to join me. I was alone, yet again, and I was to blame.
