He Was Right All Along

"I was once like you, Arias." Lt. General Haric uttered. "Young, devoted and justice driven. I was willing to sacrifice not just my life, but even my soul for this country!"

"However, in the eyes of those leaders who know nothing about us and our sacrifices, we are just a pawn. Our lives are nothing to them. I already learned that in a hard way!" He added, glancing down at Arias with his eyes that resembled a ferocious beast.

"That's not true!" Arias said as he abruptly rose from his seat.

Lt. Gen. Haric let out a laughter. It was mocking laughter yet dark. "Have you ever find yourself in the mercy of your enemies, Arias?" He took a step towards Arias as there was nothing that restrained him.
