On Diamant's 14th birthday, the strangest thing happened. A witch had almost killed her while warning her to stay away from the past. Diamant and her grandpa were people who lived on a survival skill of running and hiding from an unknown that relentlessly chased after them and threatened their lives. 

One night, this skill of Run and Hide met its end at the hands of a war brought upon their village by the mighty King of Alusa, the Dragon Lord. Having lost everything in the war, Diamant is driven by rage and grieve to seek revenge against the King. This is no easy task as she will get entangled in lies, conspiracy, betrayal, love, war and magic. In all these, she discovers there are important questions about her life that only the past has answers to.

Will she delve into the past to seek these answers which may cost her everything including her life? Or will she face the present, forgo knowing these answers and live the life she is struggling to build for herself?

Diamant

They heard a low groan of pain from one of the cabins and they rushed in. 


When they got in, Sunain got down to action quickly. Risa was right, it wasn't pretty. More people had been injured than usual. It would happen again. The guards would go into the village and pick people randomly to join the mines, the disheartening thought jarred at her but she tried to keep the thought away from her mind. Risa assisted in the best way she could, fetching her everything she needed like she always did. After a long time, they were done. They left the cabin and Gamama greeted them with cookies. 


"You are here. You must be hungry." She handed the cookies to Sunain. She accepted and started eating quickly. 


Before they could have any further conversation, Dek came in. He greeted them all quickly, grabbed a large cup of water and gulped it down then took some cookies from Sunain's plate.
