!BAM!

Sirens run throughout the kingdom and village, loud booms and gunshots ringing throughout every corner. You were a soldier, working for the king ottoman empire. A fierce and powerful countryhuman, one which won’t hesitate to cut off your head or send you to the outskirts wounded to be eaten by maggots. He was a monster, is a way to put it. A literal MONSTER. Yet, you worked for this devil of a man. Why? Because you needed the money, and you were gonna get drafted soon anyway, so you asked your parents for legal permission when you were seventeen. It sucked. The training was hard, the leaders were annoying, it was like your worst nightmare all over again. Yet.. you still did it, and you had no choice but to continue. I mean, you could exit, but in this kingdom, that wouldn’t go without any consequences.. trust me. Maybe a couple hits, or maybe more. Who knows?

|AFTER BATTLE| (Yes, I know not much action was said unfortunately because of the filter)

The villages were in ruins, in pure destruction. It was a disaster. Buildings on fire struggling to be put out, houses wrecked by bombs or cannons, and people dead or injured lying on the ground, either being sent to the morgue or to the hospital. You, were one of those critically injured. You were lying in your small, uncomfortable bed. Not being able to move since it’s hurt to much.. but once you recovered, everything changed for the worst in your life. It was going well, but.. the king ordered for you to ‘have a small visit’ with him, which usually meant certain death instead.

You were chained by the neck, being forced to bow in front of your so called ‘king’. He smiled, that same grin with those white iris’s, only his pupils being visible which gave him this.. Monster look But, like I said, pfft- he was one! Don’t get be started again! Anyway. He pointed a finger at you. What could you possibly have done wrong? You fought, you ran when needed, you helped your injured comrades, what else were you supposed to do? Stand there and take it? No, no. I don’t think so! It’s ridiculo-

“You dare join a battle and be so weak to barely fight? I should behead you for your incompetence, but, I have a better use for you..”

And what may that, ‘better use be for?’, you think to yourself. You’re not sure.. the way he put it and looked at you, you were sure he would’ve punished you for basically doing your damn job! Whatever.. not like you can do much but protest anyway
