The Fall of Aomori

[Friday]

DAY 5: The Personal Log of Sum Yungai

It is getting so hazy now Father, the memories. It is surely the Fog of War.

The usual conflicts and skirmishes around Sigma-13 now form the largest of barriers between us - the barrier of time. I have been so preoccupied with conflict I can scarcely remember a time we spoke as a family.

I am told I may be suffering from combat fatigue - and to think the battle hasn't really started yet! My superiors have ordered my back from the first wave, they tell me I shall be needed in reserve. It is a disgrace to be sure.

For the longest time I considered resigning my commission and joining the Marines. They have picked the best and most knowledgeable warriors for the first wave to land on Aomori. I wanted to be among them so badly, but I will be ready to fly as required by my Guild Masters.

I have a feeling I will be joining the battle, and it will be glorious!
