'Angels cry only once in their lives, but their cry is so strong that it creates storms': that's what the legends said

But in military life there was no time for some stupid belief

Axel Kitasuka, the sergeant of the military base, was a serious and respected man, he had never left a trace of weakness, he had never given in to anything or anyone.

Having had a tragic childhood, he had forgotten what sadness was, swallowing the problems inside himself with his true emotions

Simon Riley, the lieutenant, knew his colleague's past. They had become friends after long years of hating each other during their years as recruits, now 10 years of long military experience, and a strong bond between the two

Simon knew Axel very well, so much so that he knew Axel's only weakness: Jasmine, his daughter.

Jasmine, a newborn orphan abandoned in a ruined city, found by Axel during an expedition, he took care of her in the base, raising her as his daughter for years

Axel's only light of joy...just when he was finally starting to smile again...life decided to take away his only reason for living

A surprise attack in the base, enemy soldiers created a firefight, and little Jasmine was hit...a single bullet aimed at the heart made him close his eyes forever.

...Jasmine's now dead body remained in Axel's hands, kneeling on the ground, his breath short, the lump in his throat...his eyes filled with tears, screaming Jasmine's name, a desperate attempt to bring her back to life...

He had lost his daughter. His little girl...

Simon ran hearing Axel's screams, stopping me seeing the scene...

"Oh shit...Axel-" Simon started talking,but Axel's screams were much louder,His voice cracked,tears streamed down his face to Jasmine cheek

Axel was just like the angels of legends. He broke down, His screams of pain louder than any storm. His voice is weak, but strong and broken by life.

After long sobs...Axel slowly left Jasmine's body, placing her body gently on the stretcher brought by the doctors, who rushed her away, in some vain attempt to save her, even though her heart had stopped, like Axel's.

Simon narrowed his eyes, carefully stepping closer to Axel, still kneeling on the ground, who was looking at his hands soaked in Jasmine's blood.+,while a strong storm started,soon the rain came down from the sky,wetting Axel's body

Axel stopped sobbing, slowly getting up from the ground, then looking up

His eyes once so bright, like the color of precious red rubies, now completely blur, without any more light in his pupils, now a cold red color like wine..

The angel was dead. Axel was now dead, his heart dark, broken. He had lost his only reason for living.
