It is difficult to explain everything that happened in brief, I don't even know where to start. I am Mihael and I am a soldier, well I was. Everything started when all ended. I died there, in the street, shot by someone who I thought was a companion of mine. We evidently had different ideas and he was unwilling to discuss them peacefully. I still remember that feeling. The cold beaten earth. It was night, after a long time I still remember it. The camp light obscured the stars. I felt the blow and nothing else. I fell to the ground as if I had foreseen it for days now and I had already resigned myself to the idea.
Nothing matters now. I have no grudges against Fredric or Nathan who never loved me even though my feelings for her were as pure and true as the rose that I grew only and only for her in secret in a small piece of land still fertile near our camp. I could have grown some food, maybe potatoes, but no. A rose. Just for her.
But nothing mattered to her and maybe it doesn't matter to me anymore either. Many years have passed, the battle has been lost and I have moved on to the opposing side. Yes, you got it right: I returned from beyond on a secret mission to help those who were my enemies and now I live with them. When I first arrived in that village I was upset. I didn't know what to do, where to go, also because I had to protect the boy who killed my best friend in front of me. Maybe that was what brought me down. He was the person I most admired. And he knew it. He loved me too. We were friends and aware of being one in a mutual way.
