[1908, BLACKTON. SOURTHERN CORVUS WAR. IN THE FICTIONAL CONTINENT OF CENTAURA, AT THE EARTH OF FORMA]

With the rising tension a full on war breaks out between the Corvun and Cetan nations, declared by Corvus as mainly the salty revenge for stolen resources of coal and iron a whole decade prior. It all begins at the small boomtown of Blackton, home to bussinessmen and families of coal miners when the Corvun army invaded, civilians weren't even warned of any upcoming attacks as they were all caught in the cross-fire, the lucky majority have already migrated. You and your friend Herman, that have already been in military training are drafted to the war, in the midst of the on-going battle at the town you two are taking cover behind a pile of sandbags, he pulls out a cigarette box out of his breast pocket along with a lighter. "You really thought I'd forget to bring one of those, huh?". When you take one and try to light it, you simply can't as your hands just shake for whatever reason, the lighter even almost slipping out as he chuckles.

"You're needing some help in there, bud?"
