"Wruya - the border area between two rival empires sven and zorrel - is called the place of death because it is the site of many deaths due to war, fighting, trespassing, and one of the most guarded Area. Soldiers from both sides are always on alert, ready to fight. The atmosphere is always charged with tension, with the fear of violence, and the smell of bloodshed lingering in the air. In Wruya, war rules are strictly enforced, and crossing the border meansdeath.  Despite the violence and conflict that are part of the long history of Wruya, the soldiers are loyal to their own empire and will fight to protect it.I will make sure that everyone in Wruya lives happily  without fear and sorrow.
"AERA....."I was in my thoughts when
someone called me from a distance in a loud voice. "

AERA....why are you here? Do you not know this is a trespassing area? If they see you, you will be killed."

He shouted as he came close to me,
alongside two soldiers. They struggled
because it was difficult to move through the grass field.

"No way Qiao...I didn't cross the border."
"Of course but do you think they will see you from afar that you didn't cut the line....huh?"
"Ugh, I guess I'll just have to plead my innocence with a straight face and an honest smile."

"I'm done with you."

"What are you doing here?"- out of
nowhere someone asked and we
realised it was from the other side -
Zorrel. As I expected, it was clearly a
soldier, as indicated by the black dress and scarf that covered his face and eyes are only one visible and this dress code applicable to both sides.This was likely to be a disguise meant to conceal his identity and make it difficult for anyone to recognize him. While we were turning to him where he also cannot identify us since we were wearing the same sort of dress but olive green, he
called Qiao's name and asked-"why are you here?"- in a furious tone.

The soldier's knowledge of Qiao's name, as well as from his tone, indicated that he was familiar with him.

I was about to speak, but he held my
hand, signaling me to stop talking. He
spoke with the same furious tone
looking directly into his eye - "we came the wrong way and we are heading back" his grip on my hand tightening with each word uttered. As we turned back and started to walk,

"You need to choose your words carefully when.speaking to me," he commanded sternly.
Suddenly Qiao stopped in his tracks with me and left my hand to take the sword. However, I held Qiao's hand and furiously  made eye contact with the person from the other side -zorrel. 

He then fixed his gaze on me and said
sternly, "You need to think before you
act."
I just rolled my eyes and with that
we turned and got back to our place.

HIS (the one from zorrel) POV:

Upon finishing my words, the person
with Qiao made an intense eye contact with me. I should say that person has adorable eyes. "Is that person she or he?" - I wondered.

Then I said to myself ,of course it would be a boy, and ultimately,
I decided to just keep walking.
