The general had to been a trained warrior in hand to hand combat at an expert level because he dodge the blows of the boy without even moving. His feet never physically moved from the spot he started in but the boy was gasping for air. The general had just wanted the boy to wear himself out so that he would be easier to handle. Today had been a very hard time for the boy even before this attempted battle with the general. He was fighting the urge to fall into unconsciousness and his head is starting to dip. The boy was fighting to keep his head up.

What is the boy going to do? How is he going to escape this trap?

The boy has a knife in his hand pointed at the Urano general and he had tried to attack him. The struggle was in vain and the boy was just wasting his time. The boy begins to look at the general's eyes and he was surprised at what he saw.

The general's eyes were very tender and even showed concern for the current state of affairs that they both were in.

The boy thought,”This man doesn’t have the same kind of tone to his voice as the man in a trench coat and his boss. Could he be a good man? He has the eyes of a good man, but I know that not all those in the military are evil.”

The general just stands there listen to what the boy might say.

The boy speaks,” I can tell that you are not evil like the others! But why do you have friends that are killers. Your buddies had tried to kill me and was heartless in the killing of your own people! What kind of good man associates himself with people like those?”

The officer says,” I am sorry about what the rest of the military does but I will do my best to see that you treated fairly! I am not like that and I do all I can to do right by people!”

The boy still had a look of scorn on his face and shook his head out of disbelief.

The lad speaks,” Why is a good person working with such evil men!?! It does not make sense to me! You are trying to lie to me I just know it!”

The officer says,” You and your family has been wrong, take it all on me! I will be the scape

goat for your anger and do not fear doing me harm! I will take the blame for the entire military of Urano!”

The boy was completely surprised by what he had just been told. He did not know what to do.

The officer puts a gun on the desk and walks right in front the opposing wall of where the boy is at. The is at a loss to what the general is trying to do.

The boy spoke,” Why leave a gun in my reach, are you trying to earn my trust? I do not believe you! You are a liar, I just know it!”

The officer gives the boy his opened back.

The boy spoke,”Are you suicidal? Do you want to die? Is assisted suicide still banned?”

The officer says,”You can shoot me if you want! I will not blame you! Take the gun and kill me if you want! Take out all your aggression on me and I will not be able to defend myself! I promise to not attack you out of retaliation!”

The boy sheaths his blade and puts it in his pants' pocket. The boy walks over to the desk and looks at the handgun. The boy picks up the gun and aims it at the officer.

The handgun is shaking in the young lad's hands since he was raised to not cause harm towards others. The boy loved wrestling and fighting but that was mere competition. Yet, this was a life and death situation and not to be taken lightly.

The general spoke,” You have never killed a man before, have you lad?”

The boy remains silent while having the gun in his hands.

The man spoke,” I did not think so! The first kill is usually the hardest! I remember the first time I killed someone in war times. They were the enemy in the battle, yet it did not make it any easier for me! They bled just like me but I still had to kill them. So I did kill them before I was killed by them. It was kill or be killed in war and I had no other choice. I am sure the man I killed in war had a family like I do but I had to take him from his family. I did this by shooting this enemy's face off and the image of the defaced man still stays with me over all these years! I will take that horror from you and face towards the wall. That is all that I can do with you, my young lad! I will not hate you if you take my life!”

The boy is starting to cry extravagantly and throws the guns behind the desk. The gun was

loaded and it goes off.

The gunshot hits the wall that is on the same side that the general was on. The bullet was

embedded in the wall twenty feet away from the general.

The boy cries out,” I just can not do it! You are a good man and I will not kill you! It is just wrong, since I see the goodness in your eyes! I saw the Maker standing behind you as if he was standing in your place! I could not shoot Him!”

The officer turns around and remains silent. He walks over to the gun and picks it off the ground. He walks over to his desk, puts the gun in a drawer, and locks the desk drawer.

The general speaks,” When I was a little boy I heard about the story of a hen who let herself be burned so that she could protect her chicks. She died but all the chicks who were under her body lived. To answer your question the reason I associate with such evil men is that I can better protect those under my command if I stay. Does that answer your question?”

The boy nods his head in agreement.

The general speaks,”Do not worry I will look after you and try to make this travesty easier on you! I can not take you out of this place but I can protect you the best I can. Become strong so you could make these place better!”

The boy smiles which is returned by the general.

William and Susie were a couple of ministers that had been infertile for years but finally had given birth to a son. They were speechless when their son was born,

It was happy times for twelve years then the boy was taken by the Urano military by force.

They were at home praying for their son’s safe return.

This boy was the fulfillment of a promise that God had given William and Susie all so long ago.

He brought so much joy to the couple's life but the military had stolen their boy to meet

whatever means that the Urano faction had sought.

To what means that was unknown to the boy’s parents and only those wanted him knew that answer.
