Short story II

Banan's POV

I accidentally spilled Dew's blood everywhere, even on her pants. Fortunately they are already red, so she won't notice. I wonder why she passed out; it could be that I took too much blood from her. Maybe her fragile and thin body couldn't handle it.

I can't believe it works. It's just like it said, special. With Dew around I can fight as much as I want. But maybe I should try to keep us away from troublesome situations. She looks nice, I'm sure she won't cause any trouble.

There are two small black dots in her eyes. I've never seen anything like that. It makes her eyes look more mysterious and strange. The iris is a mix between yellow, brown and green. I think it looks like flames that try to escape from a ball, her pupil. And her hair looks kind off tousled. It is long and straight with some waves at the bottom. Dews hair matches the earth underneath her head. I like her lips, they are really red. Anzor's hair is red. I love it. He ruined my rope though. This hole wont disappear by itself. Dew might be kind enough to help me sew it or something. I drag my ax out from Anzor's leg. He groans as I pull it out, and turns to another side before he also passes out. That was about time. I want to kick him another time. But I want to fight him again. Some decisions are too hard to make. I kick him in the stomach one more time. He moans of pain, still faint. The sound makes me smile. I lift Dew and put her on my back. She almost falls off for every step I take. I have to hold around her as much as I can in order for her to stay on top of me. My back feels something lumpy and soft. It dangles as I move. What is this? When I realize what it is, I get a bit warm. I shouldn't feel embarrassed by this. It's true that she is cute, but I'm just here for the reward.

After 16 years, Nally is still in chaos. I don't get why they use this long to fix things. The war ended after six years. Nally consist of two ethnic groups, and non-ethnic groups. They came to a disagreement about how and who should run the country. A civil war broke the peace they had kept for centuries. For ten years they have tried to find a solution. There still is a tension between them, and they don't want other countries to intrude.

After the war, I, a fifteen year old officer, had to help. Believe it or not, I am the first person in the world that had such a high rank at such a small age. It was my first mission. It involved cleaning and hepling injured, but also searching for something. That was when I got a lot of documents and books.

Talia Kan. You were really hard to find.
