"If they want Talona they'll drown in their own blood first! We will show those ants who the real devils are! Long live Aquila! - Alysha Shades

[[PRELUDE]]

[[Aquilan Talona Headquarters]]

A low rumble emanates from the ceiling of the bunker. The lights flicker with each faint impact of a high-explosive shell as the officers in the concrete room glance about.

“The civilians should have been evacuated,” notes one major.

At the end of the table in the middle of the room, the commanding general sits in a chair, rubbing his forehead stressfully as he thinks.

“No, Major,” the general states. “The troops must fight hard to protect them. If we keep the civilians here, it will motivate them to give every last bit of effort into defending this city.” Dust falls from the roof as a distant explosion shakes the bunker. The lights shut off for a moment, before slowly relighting the room with their dull colors.

“Do you hear that, General? There won't be anything to defend when the shelling is over!” the major retorts.

The other officers in the room agreed with the major, though they were not vocal about it. One colonel lays out a map on the table to present to the general.

The colonel explains as he points to various locations on the map, “The Antareans are coming from the south, west, and east. We have one opportunity to retreat to the north, or negotiate for terms of surrender.”

The general’s eyes widen at the mention of surrender. “I will not surrender,” he mutters with a clenched fist. The capital of Aquila had just fallen months before. Talona was one of the last few major cities standing to the northeast.

“Our citizens are dying as we speak,” the major speaks again— his voice almost pleads with the general. “Are you just going to let them be killed for the sake of your pride?” “I will not stand for this disrespect!” the general snaps, standing from his chair. He looks around the room to each and every officer. “We will fight to the death. For Aquila.” Morale had dropped significantly. None of the officers wanted to fight anymore. They saw there was no longer any point in doing so.

The major was adamant, and the only one who would speak up. “If we continue giving them resistance, they will destroy this entire city and everyone in it—”

A shot suddenly rings out in the enclosed room. The major drops to the floor, with the officers near him recoiling back from his sudden death. The general’s pistol smokes at the end of the barrel.

“Who else doesn’t want to fight?” the stubborn general inquires.

Not a word from a single person in the bunker. Perhaps their hearing had also been affected; after all, the general fired his sidearm in such a claustrophobic area.
