It was hot... hot and dry, yet rain had still found a way to break through the clouds, making the battlefield feel gross and humid.

So far, this day had been gruesome and bloody, with death after death and body after body dropping to the ground around three boys.

These three boys were brand new to the battle, not knowing where to go or what to do. They were merely hiding under a collapsed building and relying on each other for love and support.

All of them were on their stomachs under the material of the building, two of them, named Forrest and Genesis, facing each other while the other, named Peregrine, was cuddled up against Forrest.
