"We need help over here! They have ballistas!" The general shouted behind the dirt mound they called a bunker. I quickly jumped up from my position, running over to the general. As I got over there, he gave me a quick salute.
"At ease. How many do they have?!" I turned and shouted up to the lookouts higher up from our position.
"At least a dozen, sir. You need to get back, they could overrun this bunker in a heartbeat if they tried." One of them yelled down, to my dismay. I gave them a nod, to which they looked back over the field.
"Commander-" The general said as he looked back to me, "If we retreat from this line, our fallback positions are in lowlands, we have practically zero defense."
I sighed, putting my hand to my beard. "Announce to the troops that we aren't retreating, and get our chefs to pull out their cooking oil. We have fire to rain upon them. If we are going to perish, we are taking as many of their souls as possible." The general then nodded, shouting the order to his messengers who started to run to their next positions.
"Sir. I still advise that you move to the further back bunker. If we are broken you need to warn the city." He pleaded to me, to which I nodded in agreement, beginning to start my movement back.
"Commander! The clouds are letting up, they'll see us!" The spotter shouted down to us shakily.
"Private, get down now! We can't be exposed!" The general shouted back. The private hurriedly got up and turned to go down the hill before we both saw red.
"PRIVATE!!!" The general and I yelled out as they fell down, a hole through them from a ballista spear. I ran up the hill and grabbed them, pulling them down the hill a bit more, and rolling them over to face the sky.
"Commander..." The private said in a whisper-like voice as I leaned in. "Behind...you..."
As he whispered that, I heard a loud thud and a playful laugh, quickly turning to see who it was.
"mmmm" she coyly spat out, licking her lips, blood dripping from her knife in hand. "I see that I have more pets to play with~"
I looked at her in shock, as the private already passed in my arms. "Who-! Who are you?!" I snapped at her, seeing the general lifeless on the ground.
"Oh~ me?" She said, with a yandere-like expression upon her face. "I am the one who will give you a new life, as number twenty-eight~"
"What do you mean?! I am fine the way I am!" I shouted in anger, to which she only crazily grinned in return.
"You might be... but, all of my pets must be broken to learn obedience~" She said, before running at me.
"NO-" I shouted, before everything went black.

I looked over at the west, where I sometimes noticed the brief flash from the invasion. The people grow restless below me, wondering why I was given soul power when their former confederacy at least gave all nobles power. Little do they know, I know the lie of freedom, and Frost taught it to me.
