Flame Rain Chasing the Wind

As remnants of a defeated nation, they were penned up like livestock.

A boy yearning for freedom dreamed of the world beyond the city walls.

An apparently ordinary case drew him into a whirlpool of intrigue.

Faced with the cruel truth, his last sense of belonging to the victors crumbled.

In despair, he broke free of his shackles and became an eagle soaring through the open sky.

But the vast heavens were not all that lay before him.

Below him, the flames of war burned without end.
