I waited all day anxious to fight. I did some last minute training. I knew if I told Zebediah he would try to stop me. But oh how I wished Brently could see it.
All of a sudden the phone rang. I came out of my meditation and answered it only to hear that high pitched innocent voice say, �James, its Haven.�
She explained to me that she was sorry for not speaking to me for so long and how she was sorry about Brently. At first I wondered if she was just trying to make me feel worse. But when I thought harder I figured vengeance wasn�t on her agenda.
Instead her plan was to get back together. She swayed me in my state of madness though I don�t believe that was her intention. There was one normal thing left for me to hold onto, Haven. I accepted and we were back together. I was still in love with Amanda, but she didn�t want me anymore and I knew it.
I got off the phone and went back to my training. I trained harder than ever before. I worked on energies and my physical attacks.
Eventually the time came. I looked outside; the orange setting sun was so beautiful. I didn�t question if it would be my last night. I hoped it would be.
I ran back to the field. I was the first there. I stood on a hill above the bare field.
�It�s exciting isn�t it?� I heard from behind me. It was Torilonos, the resistance leader.
�Yeah, tell me honestly is there a chance we can win? Or is this a suicide mission?� I said.
�Does it matter?� He asked.
He was right. Then I turned and looked at the army he had brought. They spread forever it seemed.
�How many do we have?� I asked.
�Eight Hundred,� he replied.
�And how many do they have?� I asked.
�Four hundred,� he said.
�We outnumber them two to one?� I asked rhetorically.
�We expect a fifty percent casualty in the first few seconds,� He stated.
