The Guardians

“It’s not your fault, Jack…”
He heard his friend’s words but they failed to penetrate his thick head.
“I couldve saved all those people…”
“We can’t stay here for long. Cmon, I can’t go by myself…”
Jack just stared blankly out the window of the delapidated building they’d taken refuge in. In the distance he saw smoke rising above the horizon. He was on the move, and it wouldn’t take him long to get to where they were.
Could this be the end? Could this be the fall of the mighty Stervian Empire?
It all seemed impossible… The land of Aun had remained peaceful for hundreds of years. He and rest of The Guardians had made sure of that…
why… I trusted him… we trusted him…
The world he once knew was gone in what seemed like seconds…
“We have to go, Jack. Come, the ocean awaits.”
