The sakura tree located at an unknown place blossomed as the moonlight lit upon the tree making it the only place with light.
Under the tree sat a girl with a beautiful sword who looked restless. She started to sing as she opened the knot of her beautiful blonde hair.
"The girl came to me with a balloon...
She smiled
When I caught it...
The girl came again with a sandwich
She fell asleep
In my shadow...
Why do you cry?
Even though it's nice weather today
I don't know but I am here
So I sing on the leaves
Where are you now?
I'm alone
The stars will fall tonight
Thank you for
a great time...
So I... Bloom my flower... for... you..."

"Thank you for your help everyone" the receptionist shouted loud within the room. It was a day of celebration and free foods were prepared for the adventurers as a sign of gratitude. There were cheers by the adventures as they ate to their hearts content and Amara was drunk to the point where he couldn't even move and kept talking to himself in the mirror.
•Location - Hibatullah, Middle east
"...oi...oi...Oi,OI" A deep voice of a middle aged man reached Raju's ears. He had just been stunned with a grenade and his ears were still bleeding.
"Oi kid, this isn't a place to be sleeping"
Raju could see an old man shouting at his face but he could barely keep his eyes open and then his heavy eyes slowly closed shut.
After some minute when Raju again opened his eyes, Bang, a loud noise from behind him made him conscious and he tried to search for his gun.
"Uhh uhh wh-wheres my rifle" he stuttered
"Here take this" the old man beside him replied giving him a magical rifle.
The old man had a cigar in his mouth even in the midst of the battle and every minute after firing at the enemy he would take a shot of the whiskey. Raju had no idea who the old man was but he was more worried about the ongoing battle.
"Names Gagan Khan, you can call me khan" the old man said.
"Lucky that you're still alive even after the grenade detonation" he again said as he saw Raju tremble. Raju had no longer the ability to use the rifle again and he just wanted to go home where his mother would always cook his favourite food as he came from work.
"A young kid like you shouldn't be at the war"
It was the typical money problem that Raju faced because his father had left when he was a child so he had to join the military in order to get the money.
Each second they could hear their comrades screaming and being shot and the only thing Khan and Raju could do was hide and listen them as the enemy numbers drastically increased.
Raju joined his legs and wrapped his hands around it and bent his head and sobbed in a low sound but Khan could hear it clearly despite the greater noises from the explosion from the battlefield.
Baam, something hit their base and exploded.
"Eyy let's get out of here" Khan said but Raju didn't move nor did her act like he listened it.
...Khan sighed and took another sip of the whiskey and put another cigar in his mouth.
"Kid if you already gave up then just go out in the open and die you know" his words had no feeling and sounded like that of a man who had nothing to lose anymore.
Raju wiped his face and blew his nose, stood up, grabbed his rifle and said
"...i guess it's time"
Khan chuckled and he too grabbed his rifle and both wentforth the battlefield.
They were instantly surrounded by their enemies but Khan and Raju kept shooting.
Their back touched each other then they ran forward. Raju had a smile but his tears kept falling as he kept running because they knew... they knew that their time was up.
For Raju time ran slow somehow. He began to memorize the time he had spent with his mother. Her smile, her tears, her beautiful voice, everything came in his mind. He could remember the time when his mother once stole some meat from their neighbours house just to feed him.
"Ah mother, You can finally eat the delicious meat again but this time... You can eat all by yourself and I... I won't be there to trouble you anymore"
"Take care Ma"
As the tears which reflected the explosion steadily dived down from Raju's eyes, he could no longer remember anyone as his body blew within the force of a big boulder.
"Love and friendship was forbidden for me so I was all alone, but now I had a strong friend... But even he's gone... Fucking shit, I'll meet you motherfuckers in hell..." Even at the deaths door, he smiled like a true man who had no speck of fear. He slowly closed his eyes as the explosion disintegrated his body...
•Location - , Middle east
"Where in the actual fuck are we to be honest? I thought my brain could remember the way" Lost Amara and his disciples walked along the mighty desert, covering their faces with a mask to block the fierce evening wind blowing away the sand particles.
It became a chilly night when the sun fully disappeared into the horizon. Heat from the barely kept alive fire? It was like a matchstick in the middle of the dark night. It could barely provide heat to any of them.
Rui patted Amara's head as she covered him with her robe while Yuna and Sera shared a robe even if it only covered half of their body.
...
Thud, Amara suddenly stood up and his silenced mouth and stare at a certain distance alerted his disciples.
Chis chis, the ground begin to shake as it made a rattling noise. Amara grasped his breath, clenched his fingers tight and as he was about to hit the sand beneath barehand
Swoosh, he was disturbed by a thing which came flying at them at an imaginary speed. He and his disciples who barely dodged the golden spear were left questionable from the ultimate power it had hold. The gold spear broke through the surface creating a massive shockwave which surfed through the desert to the far away woods.
"Yo-ho! Amara"
