Chapter 2

General Louie!

Woo

Yeaaaah!

Hooray!

I’ve done it. I’ve succeeded. I am now walking through the capital of Katillia. People are shouting my name in celebration. We have won and behind my back are my friends Dolor and Leppy, they also became Generals. With the subjugation of the Kingdom of Pasha and having slain General Omari we have become heroes.

Everyone shouts

General Louie!

General Louie!

Louie…

LOUIE!!

I wake up…

It’s dark out with only campfires lit. The sound of cheering deafens the ear. My hands and feet are tied.  And behind us the pungent odor of blood and gore fill up my nose.

After suffering massive amounts of casualties due to the surprise attack the main headquarters ordered a retreat. We fought and we fought but to no avail. We were captured, all three of us and put in these cells along with the rest of the captured Katillians.

“Where’s Leppy? I haven’t seen him” I ask

[silence]

“Oi where is he?” I repeat

[silence]

“Dammit Dolor WHERE IS HE?” I shout

“He couldn’t make. When they put us in the cages he was barely breathing. He had lost his right arm fighting back. I tried Louie believe I tried but there was nothing I could do! This… was the only thing that was left of him…”

Dolor held in has hands a head. It was a very familiar one. It was one I had seen everyday for the past 17 years.

“…”

I’m lost for words. Leppy who I had known since I we were kids was gone. Just like that, the battle didn’t even last an hour. I had just seen him yesterday.

Tears started flowing down my eyes and my legs lost whatever energy it had. I cry and I cry but at this point sadness turns into anger.

“YOU FUCKING PIGS I’LL KILL ALL OF YOU!”

“Hooooh what’s this guy’s beef?” says one of the gurads

“YOU FUCKING MURDERERS!”

“Huuuuh hey you three take care of that delusional dumbass” the guard says

Three soldiers go inside my cell. I put my fists up and make a stance however they obviously outnumber me. They beat me to a pulp while berating me.

“the fuck you talkin’ about it’s war dumbass of course we kill”

“oi oi why’re you quiet?”

“Heh so that’s all you’ve got?”

As they start to leave the cell I quickly get the last guards’ knife. I grab on to him and point the knife at his throat

“GET BACK DAMMIT”

They start to back off and I exit the cell. As I exit the cell I see Dolor. I gave him a nod and he nods back. I walk towards the center of the camp. Everyone there has their weapon drawn, waiting for a chance to strike at me.

“YOU SAVAGES WITH NO HONOR, THE GODS WILL PUNISH YOU FOR YOUR DECEITFUL WAYS!” I shout.

Behind me I feel a mass power just oozing out. The air suddenly became heavy and all my sense are screaming at me to just run. It was him. It was Knight-General Omari.

“How are you better than us now that you’re taking a hostage? Is it really us who are the savages you claim us to be?”

“SHUT UP! WHEN GENERAL GRANDIS AND THE ARMY REGROUPS THEY’LL FIGHT YOU TOE TO TOE AND WILL WIN IN GLORY!”

“Hmm this Grandis I presume?”

Grandis tosses out an arm with armor donning coat of arms only available to the Knight-Generals. It’s as if the whole world came down on my shoulders. I flinch for a second and my hostage quickly gets the knife and pins me to the ground.

“He’s…dead?”

I don’t even care my hostage escaped as I can only ask him this. 

“Maybe…or maybe not. Surrounding the confusion when he gave the signal to retreat I shot him my explosion that sent him of the cliff when we got inspected the area where he fell and this is what remained. He’s probably alive but I doubt I’ll see him on the battlefield ever again. Hehehe”

I’m surrounded, pinned down and without weapons. I accept my fate and ray that our country will win this war. Without General Grandis can there be anyone who can stop Pasha from decimating our country?

“Sir permission to execute the prisoner”

“Permission denied soldier. He’s got some spunk in him. If I could brainwash him and train him enough he could be very useful to us.”

As I hear that I start to struggle. I’d rather die by enemy hands to be used by them to kill my own brethren.

“KILL ME!” I scream

“HAHA no can do I’ll turn you into my new plaything. Take him back to his cell and double the guards” says Omari as he gives a hearty laugh

They punch me in the gut and I pass out once more.

I wake up and it's at the dead of the night. It’s quiet as everyone’s asleep and few campfires remain.

“Oi oi Louie I can get us out” says Dolor.

With this the exodus begins.
