《The Innocent Soldier - Linstead》Chapter 4
Advertisement
"Hey Hank" Erin says as we walk up to the bullpen. I'm dreading this. I don't want to talk about it. I've seen too many people lose their jobs over PTSD. I don't want to lose the job that made me find Erin, or the job that I've made many friends from, or the job that helped me get over the last time I came home from a tour.
"Hey guys. Jay, I understand you've had some issues?"
"I wouldn't call them that but I guess, yeah."
"Sit."
We sit down and he sits down as well. He has that look in his eye, that look where he knows something is wrong but doesn't know how to fix it. Yeah, we've seen that look before.
"I guess we'll start with how you do with a gun. I'll take you to the shooting range and start from there. I'm gonna do what I can."
"Thank you, Sarg. Can we talk privately?"
"Um, I guess so."
Erin looks confused but she gets up and exits Voight's office. I've been nervous and this probably isn't the best time to do this but I have to ask when I get the chance.
"What is it?"
"Um. I, uh, wanted to ask you something. I know this isn't the best timing but, I'd like your permission to marry Erin."
"If I say yes, will you promise to get through this? For her?"
"Y-yes sir."
He nods and signals for me to leave. I struggled to say yes because I don't know if I can do this. I want to, for Erin. But it just seems so hard. How the hell do you get rid of constant nightmares, flashbacks, and memories? I just, I can't get it through my head.
I wake up to the loss of breath. I open my eyes and feel hands around my neck. I push whoever it is off, grabbing and scratching them. I turn the lamp on and finally see who it is.
Oh . My . God.

8 1441Magitech Awakenings
In this world of Terrapia, myth states that Dragons are caretakers of the chaos wheel, a band of energy that encircles the world, penetrating through the very fabric of the dimension. They tame and convert it, not only to fuel their primal magic, but also to gentler forms that man and beast alike can tap. But now they have faded away, being sighted less and less the past couple millennia. With magic weakening, science has taken root and in many cases merged in a symbiosis with magic. Guppy Bright, a 17 year old young woman, is a technomancer apprentice living in the bustling city of Nolusburg trying to make ends meet. Apprenticed to the enigmatic and somewhat crazy Technomancer Friedrich BrassTuner, she participates in an experiment meant to tap a new rich source of energy. However something goes horribly wrong and a rip in the very fabric of reality opens in the workshop, sucking in her mentor and ejecting a dying white dragon. The dragon, after examining her, takes a gamble and entwines their souls, an act that causes the dragon, Barthurthalomalew Dresnarian Kratomanger Harrowhew Objuslorow, the 5th, aka Batty, to regress into a baby dragon, sealing much of his powers and memories in the process. This act also has profound effects on Guppy, her own magic is now crazily changed in ways no one, least of all her, understands. Guppy is suddenly plunged into a world of mystery, intrigue and politics, where everyone either wants to control, or eliminate her. Armed with little but her courage and unpredictable newfound magic how will she survive and protect herself and those she loves when everyone from techno radicals, magic purists, politicians and guttersnipes are out to get her. And those may be the least of her problems if Batty's fragmented memories are any indicator.

Everyone that might have known human me is long dead. Anyone that finds out what I am now will almost certainly want to make me join them. I'm all alone. And I'm hungry. What the hell am I supposed to do now?
