Past (Part 3)

14 years ago...

On a grassland, lay a girl in her neat military uniform. Her eyes were closed as she enjoyed the sweep of the wind and sunlight that enveloped her body.

"What is it?"

The girl's eyes remained closed as she asked a man who had quietly approached her from behind. Feeling that his movements had been discovered by his friend, the man let out a disappointed sigh. He walked quickly, then squatted in front of the girl, who didn't flinch at his presence.

"Ava, you don't intend to run away again, do you? The general has warned you a lot about this. He will send you as a mercenary to another country if you still don't want to obey his orders," warned the man worriedly. Ava slowly opened her eyes. Her blue irises stared at the man before she opened her mouth.
