The Silent Cry

"What a dark age we live in. Not only do we have to be wary of Demons, but also others. History repeating itself, huh? Now, you can't live without siding with anyone."

"Has it not always been the case, though?"

"What do you mean?"

"Anyone who went against the Empire was a traitor. What makes it seem different this time is that the traitors have a faction."

A sobering silence descended between the conversing people. They were but ordinary Knights who couldn't choose sides. It was not that they were indecisive. To have a voice, one should have a fist. They didn't, hence, they had to follow the words of those who had it. they were betraying themselves, yet it was their only way to survive.

"I heard that the Pacifer faction is ridiculously strong. I can't help but worry about our survival."
