• 612th year of Six Kingdoms' age. The Linar country has been under control of tyrant Aerian Mildear. Nearby states has also started to yield to his tyranny. Three years ago streets of a capital city – Sybris, which used to be peaceful, changed into a place of massacre and Haliciel river ran with blood. Citizens of Linar have never seen such a tragedy. "Rout of Sybris", as it was called later, made them live in fear. But not everyone.
    Not even a year has passed after that homicide as resistance movement, known as "Rising Sun" has formed. This small group of young people has been continuously fighting with Mildear's cruelty and army. Despite sustaining many casualties they haven't given up and continue fighting for their homeland.
    -Hey! Have you finished?!
    -Still need about 2.5 minutes!
    -You've got 1.5! Hurry up! We haven't got much time!
    -Just a moment… Finished! Let's bolt!
    Whole group ran away. After a short moment the four of them was sitting, hiding in a nearby railway station. A few seconds passed. Just a moment, just an instant… Now! An explosion occurred. They did it. Train derailed.
    -Now!
    They ran towards the train on leaders command. With great caution and in an equally great hurry they have begun to serach the overturned car and take the weapons away. It would be their end, if military found them.
    -Hurry, kid!
    -Just a moment…!
    Suddenly someone started to shoot. Boy suddenly felt pain in his right ear. It's military! They've discovered them and started to shoot.
    -Run! – the four of them started to run away. Despite the ongoing gunfire, none of them have left their weapons. Although fought for life, they were aware that, In this moment the most import ant is the execution of the mission. After almost hour pursuit they've lost them.
    -Are you stupid?! – the leader of the group grabbed wounded by a shot boy. - We could all die because of your foolishness!
    -I… I'm sorry! – new one seemed to be much more scared than during escape.
    -Do you think that some shitty "sorry" is enough! You snot! You should have let them kill you, you squirt!
    -Chill out, as for his first job, it didn't go that bad. We've got weapons, all alive, you don't have to shout. – after some time of silence another member of a time has spoken
    -You know it's not the point, Luka! This kid…
    -He didn't manage! OK. yeah?! He won't blow it next time!
    -Guys, let it alone, think how must he feel… Or at least about this, that we need to return to the base.
    All came together at glance and went towards the headquarters.

    The northern headquarters of the "Rising Sun" was placed in an old deserted hotel on the outskirts of the city. It's name –"Hope", perfectly matched their organization. It wasn't the most beautiful building, but they found a shelter there. On the ground floor was a small living room, where social life of whole resistance was somehow taking place, kitchen (feeding all this lot was a real hassle) and the dining room. On the second floor there were members' bedrooms. Unfortunately they were not their goal. And the third… it was like the Final Judgement. Each group had to go there after the completion of the mission, and see the Commander-in-Chief.
    They were walking the long and winding stairs. New one was getting more nervous with every step taken. He has never been there before. And after an earlier wigging, he'd rather not even think about what was waiting for him . They were increasingly closer. Only a few steps left… He felt he's going to faint. Brass door has opened.
    The greater part of the third floor was cabinet of Commander-in-Chief, Carius Sokaro. This was a man thinking seriously about his work. Maybe even too seriously. He was horribly punctilious, every single and the smallest mistake could make him angry. However, he also appreciated when someone succeeded. They only hoped that he's in a good mood.
    Sokaro was sitting at his desk and viewing some documents. He looked quite nervous. Too bad… All of them have already come to the cabinet. There was that troubling silence. They've been standing there for a longer time. Seemed like he didn't notice them.
    -Rico from group 24th reports himself! Mission completed!
    -Ah… Rico! Already finished… Fortunately. I heard the Exchange of fire occured there. – newcomer was barely standing because of nervousness – It wasn't your fault, right…? And what's wrong with your ear? – Busted… it's over – So it was you…! – Commanders vain started to throb – Do you realize…?!
    -I'm deeply sorry. It was my fault. – Luka started saving new's skin – I was supposed to tell him all the details of that mission. Therefore, this whole situation was only and exclusively my fault. – maybe he hoped long speech will somehow save them
    -Is that true, Rico? – Carius was completely confused. He did it!
    -Ah… yes… that's how it was… -Rico also had such hope
    -So… mission completed… you haven't sustain any casualties… - even Sokaro wouldn't like Luka to keep talking. There were rumors that He has once litterally talked someone down for death. Although nobody is able to confirm it, there must be something about it – so I think we can just forget about it.
    -So guns go to the depository, right?
    -Oh… yes, yes. Just go… Ah! But you Luka, stay for a moment…
    They were all surprised by that. Never happened that he had to tell something only one of them. It couldn't be about that mission. He said he doesn't blame them for it. But they couldn't do anything about that. They've left their comrade and went to the depository.
    -So, what's going on?
    -Congratulation, boy.
    -What?
    -You got a transfer.
    -I don't understand, transfer? Couldn't you just say it with everybody around.
    -From tomorrow on, you'll be at the centre, in the first group.
    -First group?! But that's a task force?! Why would I…?
    -Well… considering your past… It's a decision from the top. We can't do anything about this. Better say "goodbye" to your group. – commander stood up and gave him a hand – So, thank you for cooperation. – they shook each hands, than Luka went out. It was a shock for him.
