FLESH FUSING MONSTERS.
1774, NOVEMBER 27th, SUNDAY 9:03 pm.
Dream and reality became one as Noche marched with her fellow troops towards the cartoonish castle.
"This place is too familiar," she muttered.
Distant ocean waves made their presence known to the semi-conscious blonde. The scent of pine and salt drifted through the air — marching was overridden by the sound of shifting green needles. Noche was alone in a place that rocked her core.
"We shouldn't be this close to the ocean," a soldier said. "It should be thousands of miles away from us."
"The forest is cursed," another whispered. "Time and space are warped here. It's like that one place in the ocarina videogame. Even expert rangers would get confused in this real life lost woo—"
"We're NOT out of the woods yet! LITERALLY!" Medusa shouted. "Soldiers, stay sharp!"
Jolts of electricity coursed down Noche's shoulder, she snapped her head towards Cherries's frowning face; his hand on the spot.
"Noche... You're about to go somewhere I cannot follow," he said.
"W-What are you talking about?"
"Hatred... War... Protagonist disease," he said. "History repeating itself."
"Cherries-"
"- I've seen war before," he sighed. "Do you know how much violence someone must see to become a pacifist?"
Noche was silent.
"Hate breeds a never-ending cycle of violence... Only love can break the cycle."
"Cherries, please don't give me another lecture abou-"
"-This isn't about!" He paused. "It's about... Life is — the weight of each life, from every person to ant, is far beyond precious."
His head spun to hers.
"You have no idea of the atrocities, you are so eager to commit."
Noche stared at him as he walked away; her unit approached. Rowan, Gabby, and Jonathan stood next to the blonde.
"OH FUDGE!"
The four of them spun to a red-haired, female soldier ahead of them.
"Shaylin, I am so sorry!" Autumn shouted. "I know you told me not to come, but I had to."
The ginger blinked. "Gee golly gosh, I'm sorry... Do I know you?"
"Uuuuhh — LOOK! A random distraction!"
Shaylin raised an eyebrow.
"Ok yeah, I got nothing," Autumn said. "Only thing in that direction is a guy in tight pants."
Shaylin snapped that way.
"Where, WHERE!" Shaylin's gaze locked onto the man; she bit her lower lip. "Mama likeeees."
Noche's gaze lingered on the strange girl named Autumn as she slipped away.
A moment later, Medusa raised her hand and did a gesture — prismatic energy filled the air and a makeshift military site was created. Sandbags, barbed wire, concrete walls, and wooden battle stations appeared in the blink of an eye. A temporary guard post was created in an instant.
