The sun hung at the top of the sky.
Sunlight pierced the surroundings but the Ashen Crucible felt no effect of the heat. The ground swallows everything thrown towards it. Even if it was nature itself throwing it.
Four groups of soldiers stood on the ground and all of them had their particular groups of enemies.
One such group belonged to Pablo and the soldiers of this group were eagerly and patiently waiting for their Commander to say his words to them. As they all knew, his words would decide how they would fight in the war.
Pablo stood in front of them with his hands behind his back and his eyes locked to every soldier present ahead of him.
He cleared his throat and all the soldiers stood straight.
"My name is Pablo Castillo." He said, finally starting the talk.
The heartbeats of the soldiers rose and Pablo heard all of them clearly. And he would make sure by the time he was done, these hearts would be set ablaze.
