[i]”The infernal bombardment kept going and going, only having been there a day we had to entrench ourselves or die, a cruel reality we accepted in the face of danger. However, we held hope that we could make a breakthrough within the Karumi line, I heard talks of the preparations and the briefings. At least we would not have to wait long for orders, I know I want to end this as soon as possible, a war that was not our own. Maybe that will be the day I earn glory in the eyes of the republic, or the day I lie dead when we attempt to lift the siege. I pray that this plan goes off without a hitch, I don't think I can stomach watching a child get ripped to shreds by a field cannon round. 

I knew what I was getting into when I signed up for this expedition, but to see innocence being taken before you is not a pleasant sight and to think that the Karumi may be shelling their own in here as well. At least I know one thing is for sure, we cannot allow another meter of land to fall to the Karumi menace or else we shall face the consequences of it all. Perhaps once the war is over I can see my wife and kids another, but I doubt I will see them for I signed up for a death wish, a consequence of allowing the Karumi menace to get so far into the Seronan lands. This makes me wish we had gotten here sooner, so that I did not need to see kids die in front of me as we got into the city! At least it instills a hate in my heart, a rage to destroy Karum.”[/i]
