The Ghost of the Soldier

Anya and The Lady Servant

10 Days Later, Anya visited Matthew in Fort Benning but with her Lady Servant who wears a black kimono.

Matthew (Narrating): 10 days later, Anya came to Fort Benning and she brought a picnic basket. But i saw someone with her, wearing a black blouse. I do not know why she is following her. But all i can say, she is her servant.

Matthew: Anya.

Anya: Matthew.

Matthew: Good to see you.

Anya: I just want to see you too.

Matthew looked at the Servant.

Matthew: Who is she?

Anya: Oh, that's Mayuko. see is my.....

Mayuko: Servant. I am her servant.

Anya: No.....She is my friend.

Matthew: I see. Mayuko, may you come....

Mayuko: I follow Anya only.......I follow orders from her.

Anya: I know, Mayuko. But you must know that you are also a normal person like us.

Mayuko: Understood.

Anya: Now, go find our room to take a rest. I will stay here for a few days.

Mayuko: Yes Anya.

Mayuko bows down like a Maid and left.

Matthew: She looks weird.

Anya: Yeah. But i get used to it. She is very Faithful to God and She is very protective to me.

Matthew: Her behavior looks like a bodyguard to me.

Anya: She upholds her own Honor Code similar to Bushido Code of Honor. She is so mysterious as well.

Matthew: Oh i see. Well, i will get used to it when we are with her in the next few days.

The Next Day, Mayuko and Anya are talking eachother.

Anya: Mayuko.

Mayuko: Yes Anya.

Anya: What if he is my destiny?

Mayuko: The Soldier?

Anya: Yes.

Mayuko: You two are destined for eachother.

Anya: Thank you for that Mayuko.

Mayuko: On the Day of Destiny, Your Eternal Love will begin. Your Eternal Life will start and Your Love to Him will begin. Do not afraid in your Destiny, Do not afraid to meet God.

Anya: Why you are saying that?

Mayuko: He is the way, the truth and the life. And the Soldier will be your First and the Last. Your love begins but ends with death. When Eternal Love comes, There will be no more death, Or Mourning, or Crying, or Pain. Your love will be pure.

Anya: I may not understand what you said. But one thing comes to me now. Destiny will come. No matter what.

Mayuko: The Soldier will face suffering, sadness and pain, But you will heal him when the time comes.

Anya: I know what will happen to him if that day comes.

Mayuko: I Fear for both of you. But i am ready. I will follow the code and i will follow your will.

Anya: You are a Great Servant to me. But it is time to serve others. You must serve in the Army. You must serve under Matthew and you must fulfill my will. You are the one who is capable of protecting him. You are loyal to me, but you must be loyal to him as well.

Mayuko: I will, Anya.

Mayuko bows down in respect to Anya's Orders.

Mayuko: I will give my life to protect both of you.

Anya: You will. You will.

Anya left the room and Mayuko stayed there. Anya went to Matthew Later on and Talked about Mayuko.

Anya: Do you think Mayuko can join the Army?

Matthew: Well, if she is Combat Capable, then she can join.

Anya: For you, is she fit?

Matthew: 100% Yes.

Anya: Can you put her in the Unit?

Matthew: For now, she can be in my unit. She can be my Aide or a Scout to the Enemy, But she can do some Infiltration Job but let's see what happens.

As Matthew and Anya walked. They saw Mayuko outside using a Katana and doing practice.

Matthew: Why is Mayuko armed with Katana?

Anya: She was my Protector she says. She will protect me with her life.

Matthew: That was Noble. But did she do that on a daily basis?

Anya: Yeah.

Matthew: I guess we can train her. General Anderson will take the rest. I will take care of it.

Anya: Thank you Matthew.

Later on, Mayuko joined the Training with the Knight Company. She along with Louise, Andrew, Jiro and William during a Special Training just for her. Matthew Observed her in the Command Tent.

Matthew: What do you think about her Sir?

Gen. Anderson: She is good, She has Guts and Skill.

Matthew: Is she fit in my Company?

Gen. Anderson: Yeah but i have plans for her. I will send her to a Different Unit before she can join you.

Matthew: What is it Sir?

Gen. Anderson: I formed a Special Unit to be deployed in Syria. Its still part of the Battalion but i prefer to make it Covert.

Matthew: Does the Pentagon know about it?

Gen. Anderson: Yes and they Approved it but with the Aid of CIA and our partners. Especially Russia. The Russians are also involved and they are going to aid the Syrian Government. And the White House decided to help the Syrian Government. Washington still provides support for the FSA but it was now cutoff because some of them went out of control and guess what, Al Qaeda.

Matthew: What about the Other Units of the FSA?

Gen. Anderson: They retreat into Turkey for Regroup and Rearm. Al Nusra and other Radicals took over Northern Syria including Aleppo. We decided to help the Syrian Government. The Government made a deal with Washington. And since we cooperate with Iranian backed Militias in Iraq. The Iranians signed a Peace and Reconciliation Treaty with us. They signed it on Geneva this morning.

Matthew: Great. What is the next move?

Gen. Anderson: We need someone who can go to Syria. Who can lead his unit.

Matthew: I guess i found one. Captain Macmillan.

Gen. Anderson: You must be crazy.

Matthew: Let him give another chance. I think he will be fine if we send him back.

Gen. Anderson: I will think of it Parker.

Matthew went to Mayuko.

Matthew: Mayuko.

Mayuko bows to Matthew.

Matthew: No need to bow. From now on, you must salute me and call me Sir. But you can still call me Matthew if you have too.

Mayuko: Yes sir.

Matthew: What is your Actual name?

Mayuko: Mayuko, Mayuko Satonaka.

Matthew: Welcome to the US Army. From now on, you are under General Anderson and me.

Mayuko: Yes sir.

Mayuko Salutes to Matthew as she joins the US Army.
