STARDUST YEAR 150...
STEORRA
I AUTOMATICALLY stopped running when I heard that loud grunt. I turned around only to see that my companion had fallen, and I panic when I noticed that he had been hit.
"Troiar!"
I was on my way back to him when two white-haired soldiers, wearing all-black uniforms, came running towards us. I raised my plasma gun and shot them. When they both fell, I immediately helped Troiar up. We must to leave this place before the other soldiers can get us.
"Are you okay?" I worriedly asked.
He nodded while holding his wounded arm and catching his breath. "I'm fine, Steorra. It's just a flesh wound. Come, we need to go."
But before we could take a step, a group of Ystellas, the elite unit of Trastarian soldiers, white-haired and wearing all-black uniforms just like the first two, appeared with their guns aimed at us. We turned the other way around, but another group appeared. They parted, and a familiar face stepped forward. My jaws clenched in anger upon seeing Thodeus Arn, our once trusted comrade. Despite being wounded, Troiar stood in front of me, shielding me.
"By the order of King Strigus, you, Prince Troiar Ystell, and former Ystella Steorra Caelum are hereby arrested for treason. Arrest them!" Arn declared.
With their weapons ready to shoot, we didn't have a choice but to stay still. As the Ystellas bound us in electric cuffs, Arn spoke again.
"Separate them."
"No!" We yelled at the same time.
I saw fear in Troiar's eyes—fear that we might never see each other again after this—and it resonated with me. As they dragged him away, the reality of our situation slowly sank in.
"Let go! Steorra!" He screamed while struggling against the Ystellas.
"I will find you, Troiar!" I shouted back as I was taken in the opposite direction, hoping that my words would give him the strength to stay alive.
