Proud of those war heroes that risk their lives so that we don't have to. keep awake and away from their families so that we don't have to.
but are they themselves proud of it? Do they feel the same joy when they stand at the border looking down on the enemy and then coming back home to sleep on a marshmallow bed?
Do they still want to fight or is it the stars and medals they want.
What we see are only those stars and medal but beneath their uniform and skin there are many scars and metals and some of them don't want anymore...
Viren is among them with one more scar he wishes to erase.

M.I.A.
He woke up in a hospital, doesn't know why he's there, doesn't know who he is, doesn't even know how he got there, and he's got a real bad headache. He's got a head wound the size of a baseball, he can't see with his right eye, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't get a straight answer for anything, except that mineshaft workers found him crystalized and immediately flew him to the 'hospital.' Nobody could figure out how long he was in the crystal, and the only thing he could remember was his name. I really hope you enjoy! Like my previous books, I haven't gotten a cover for it but I'm working on it:)

Karshok
Enslaved under alien rule, I've forgotten what kindness feels like-until my choices deliver me to the Zohra. Towering, horned, and unreadable, they are nothing like my past captors.
