It's been a while since I accepted the Commander's offer.
I've been building a lot of weapons and showed them how it works.
I was about to finish another when the Commander approached me.
"Hey, Peridot. We need another soldier to roam around. Can you do the honor?" He asked.
Cool. I can finally fight some demons.
"Oh. Sure. But I won't take your weapons." I said.
"Why not? You'll get killed out there!" He said.
"Cause I'll be using mine." I said, smirking.
"Heh, whatever you say, Soldier." He said, walking out.
I did a yes gesture and took all of my weapons.
This should be enough for a thousand.
I walked out.
All my weapons hanging from my belt the Commander gave me.
I started walking through the city.
No Demons yet.
This might take a while.
???'s POV
Ugh! Stupid Stupid Stupid!
Why didn't I take that guy seriously?!I hid myself with a cardboard near the garbage disposal.
I'm probably alone.
Demons roaming around.
I'm gonna die here.
I cried silently.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Huh? Foot steps? Demons fly right?
I peaked through the cardboard holes and saw a soldier.
Though the soldier seem familiar.
The soldier soon looked at my place and I saw the soldier's face.
Peridot?!
She was about to ran off.
"Peridot!" I shouted.
She jumped a little, startled.
"W-who are you?! Show yourself!" She said.
I slowly crept out of the shadows to show my face.
"L-Lapis?!"
Peridot's POV
"L-Lapis?!" I exclaimed.
She smiled.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
She was about to answer when her face changed to a scared one.
"Peridot! Look out!" She shouted.
I turned my head around to see a demon attacking.
I didn't have enough time to dodge so it clawed my face.
Blood dripped at my wound.
I fell to the ground and my weapons fell out of reach.
I saw the demon about to attack.
I braced myself.
Nothing.
I removed my arms from my face and saw Lapis holding a destabilizer that I built.
"P-Peridot? A-Are you okay?" She said, approaching me.
"I-I'm fine. But We have to go back to base." I said, tried to stand up but failed.
Lapis helped me up and we walked slowly.
"Base? Where's that?" She asked.
"It's a few meters away." I said.
We walked a few more meters.
"Since when did you become a soldier?" She asked.
I blushed a bit.
"Ehm. Since I got left out." I said, chuckling nervously.
We continued to walk until we reached the base.
She helped me in and I asked for a medic.
The medic took care of me while Lapis ate.
The medic patched up my face and I thanked her.
Guess I'll be wearing this for a while.
I saw Lapis eating on a table so I sat infront of her.
"Hey." I said.
"Oh, Peridot! You're okay now?" She said.
"Kinda. It still stings. But I'm okay." I said.
She giggled and continued eating.
"So, how come you're here and not with the other citizens?" I asked her.
Her face flushed.
"Ehm. I kinda. Didn't believe the man on the news." She said, scratching the back of her neck.
I chuckled.
"Looks like you have no other choice but to join this army." I said.
She blushed.
"Will it be okay for you?" She asked.
"That's cool with me. I don't actually know these guys yet. Only the commander and those guys." I said, pointing to a group of soldiers that are looking at blue prints.
"Well... Okay. I'll join. But in one condition." She said.
A cache? I like how this is going...
"What is it?" I asked.
"If...I'll fight with you." She said.
She hid her face from me with her hair.
I cuppd her face with my hands.
"Okay." I said, smiling.
Her eyes was filled with happiness and dove at me.
She hugged me.
More like squishing.
I just hugged back and chuckled a bit.
This might not be as bad as I am imagining.
