A story based on the painting Las Meninas by Diego Velaquez for the War of Religions Era in Europe. The point of view is the girl on the very edge of the painting next to the dog. I thought of her as a "Soldier in Training."

[UNEDITED STORY] "If you're like me, then when you fall...you fall hard, and its almost impossible to get back up." I admitted shamefully, refusing to meet his beautiful eyes. "Maybe the problem isn't about falling Lyla," he says softly, and his long fingers tilted my head upwards. My eyes met his intensely. "Its about who catches you when you fall." He declares... *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Lyla Denver was known to be a 'Lightweight' to everyone she knows. Her presence never mattered, her influence to others were basically nonexistent. So, she stayed alone, in her comfort zone. All she had was herself and her countless set of painted art, which she sold to an art gallery in New York anonymously. That changed when Kyle Andrews, the heir to that particular art gallery found out her identity, packed his bags and barreled into her life, carrying way more than just 'lightweight' with him.

The year is 2043. The future. Or more accurately; the time of war. Humanity is at war with Anthros - the United Federation - under the charges that the UF infiltrated multiple 'human' nations and detonated their nuclear warheads, utterly ruining their stability. A small team of U.S. Marines have taken a helicopter after being cut off from the rest of the Remnant Army, and are trying to get back over the frontlines: Out of recently-occupied enemy territory, when their luck runs dry.
