"Warn him."I said in a tone full of authority and power.

The poor imbecile of a soldier rushed to the general.

" What?" Asked the general.

"The bombs are coming" the solider replied.

The general hit the button.

The blasting siren sounded,and the screams started.

We were being attacked!

The Irish were attacking us again.

We were in a war.

The general then looked at me.

I nodded to him, and we went into a council room.

We called all the majors in the entire Albanian army and sat down.

" We need the key!" The general said,not wasting time.

It was a struggle to hear him over the screams of the few citizens left.

Then the debate began.

" We can't risk it! Who knows what is behind that cursed door!" Said Major Lokî.

There was this door.

It has been sitting in this bunker untouched for generations.

It was said to hold the key to endless destruction.

But you needed a (real) key to open it.

The thing is, we don't know where the key is.

We also don't know what is behind that door.It could be a monster for all we know!

"We could send out search parties around the world" said the general

"That would waste our men!We will have no army left!"Argued major Lokî. The sad thing about that, is the fact it is true. If we did send out our forces, the citizens will be left unattended and unprotected.

The bunker suddenly shook with impact. We all looked up. There was a crack in the roof.

"We need to act quickly,before it is to late."Says Captain Halla.

After the bombing

We had decided on what to do. We would send out 10 search parties of 15, leaving us with around 350 troops to defend the citizens. The 10 search parties would split up, and travel around the world. I was in a search party with the general,major Lokî, captain Halla, and sergeant Castellan, along with ten other soldiers. We would set out at 2359, and we had a month to find the key.

2359 (11:59 pm)

I was ready to go.

" Let's go." I said to the others. I shouldered my backpack of supplies and set off on a deadly journey.
