Asher and his family started selling their belongings to afford the medicine. Asher has a very little connection with most of his belongings, making it easier to sell. Asher began to see many people talk to his parents outside of their hut to borrow some more money.

Asher saw his parents smiling and hugging after they had enough money to buy the medicine needed to save his little brother. Asher and Dalia saw their parents and his little brother leave their hut to go on a long journey to the doctor.

Asher, smiling, decides to hug his crying sister, making her relax and reaffirm that everything is going to be okay. After seeing his sister now relaxed, Asher decides to stand up and go wash his face.

…

Both Asher and Dalia were seated, waiting for their parents' arrival. Asher could see the shadows of two people closing in on their home. It is his parents who are both very happy seeing their youngest now alive and well.

The whole family unites and hugs how amazing their lives are. Asher has to go to school with his little sister. They both run to school with the brightest smiles.

They both enter different classrooms. Asher first notices the wooden desks inside the classroom, noticing his classmates all looking at him. Asher decided to quietly sit down at his desk.

Having very little knowledge about what they teach, he decides to stay quiet and pay attention. His silence attracts the amusement of his classmates since forever, Asher has always been the talkative clown of the class. Always making the teacher mad.

No one dared to talk to him. The teacher starts to speak about someone who caught his attention; the teacher starts to talk about the legendary ruler who is native to this land. How their ruler was very generous, leading them to the greatest period of their history. The ruler is their hero, praising him for all his glory.

It all started to make sense; the statues Asher sees everywhere and usually ignores are about him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Everyone get the fuck out!! We are taking over this land." A large number of masked gunmen start shooting at the sky before breaking the door.

Ahhh!!!

The whole room suddenly erupts in screaming. The only thought passing through Asher's mind is where Dalia is. Asher can do nothing due to him simply being a child compared to those gunmen. Asher decided to calm down and think that his sister was alive.

Asher sees how a large number of children start being dragged down in their classrooms. Asher starts to pay close attention to all of them, praying that his sister is there. Asher sees his sister and very quietly waves his arm while trying his best to show his face to his sister.

She sees his arm and pushes the kids to get close to her. Without saying anything, they both hug and decide to stay close together to see what is happening. All of the kids' faces are in terror, crying, but no one dares to make a sound for fear of dying.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom!

Asher sees a large fireball pass and blows up the gunmen.

Ahhh!!!!!

All the kids scream due to they see slats of blood around their classroom and pieces of human throughout the floor. Asher sees this and immediately closes his sister's eyes before she can ever look at the mess.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom! Boom!

More and more chaos is happening in their eyes. Holes in their classroom and the once colorful classroom are now destroyed. Asher sees a gunman see their terrified faces and goes the other way.

"This is a rebellion!!!" A group of people starts screaming just beside them.

Asher decides to relax, embracing his sister to keep her calm. More and more fire between both of the groups continued. Hours and hours they were looking at how much of a mess everything is.

The fire ceased, leaving an opportunity for the kids to make a run for it to leave, and to go to the forest to run and find their families. Asher and Dalia decide to take another way, which they go if they want to skip school. This decision saved their lives.

Boom!

A large explosion was heard in the direction where the kids were going; a large fire started. Asher could only look back for a second before running, ignoring the cries for help by the innocent children.

Asher and Dalia managed to go home; Dalia, crying, went into the arms of her mom. Asher sees them packing to leave. His parents are petrified at the situation at hand. Without any further explanation, they made a run for it.

"Where are we going?" Asher screams at his dad.

Bang! Bang!

"We are leaving; this is too dangerous! No more questions!!" His dad explains while hearing gunshots.

They managed to run towards the forest, passing through the large forest is a very difficult journey with a lot of deadly animals, and deadly terrain, and the thought that the enemies were waiting for them still didn't prevent them from entering the forest.

In the forest, Asher sees the beautiful nature surrounding him while still running towards the next village.

…

They arrive at the next village, but before leaving the forest, Asher's dad urges them to hide as he sees that this village has had the same fate as their own.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three shots were aimed in their direction, one hitting closely in their direction. They all petrified and looked at the bullet shot; no one moved a single muscle.

"Fuck, what do we do?" Dad started to whisper.
