Nathan's POV

I stand up from the ground with the young private as I stare at the beauty of the place. Nathan crouches and reaches his hand onto the flower, looking at it.

"A-Are we dead sir?"

Cole asks me as I let go of the flower.

"I don't know kid...I don't know..."

I told him as I grab my rifle off the ground, him doing the same as we look around. I noticed a nearby dirt road as I walk towards it with Cole quickly following me, worried.

"Okay Kid Listen, we'll try to make our way to that Castle of sorts, it's better than staying out here where we don't even know what the hell is out there."

I told Cole as he came to my side as we continued walking down the Hill. All of a sudden as we were about to reach the dirt road a Horse and a Carriage comes to a halt in front of us.

"Morning Gentlemen!"

An old man says, hopping off the carriage while approaching us. The old man wore...Medieval clothing...

"You need a lift? I was going to the Capital when I spot you two fine young men."

He says kindly as I glance At Cole who was Nervous and had his finger twitchy.

"Yes sir...We'll just need a lift..."

I say while eyeing Cole as he smiles graciously.

"Please, hop on."

He says as both I and Cole cautiously hop on the back.

"Sir, shouldn't we try to contact Command?"

Cole asks me as I look at him, my rifle on my lap.

"We don't have a Radio, whatever this place is...This isn't Nam. So, I'm hoping that there are other Marines, Hell I'll settle for any American in that Place."

I told him as the ride continues, we pass by the beautiful scenery as I take it in. I was all used to the rain, Mud, Violence, Silence, the smell of Gunpowder and Blood...This was out of a Kid's fairytale.

"Captain...How do we get home?"

He asks as I glance at Cole. He worried about his eyes as I sigh silently, he was just straight out of boot camp.

"...I don't Know Cole...Let's just pray we can find our way home."

The Carriage Suddenly stops as we look upfront to see the old man being dragged out.

"Oh shit!"

We quickly duck, the unknowns not knowing were in the back as I could hear their conversation.

"Give me all of Your Money Loyalist."

A voice was heard as I shoulder my M16A1 with Cole doing the same as I ready myself.

"P-Please, Don't. I-I need to support my Son's Famil-"

I hear the Old Man scream in pain as I quickly hop off the back and aim my Rifle at the...The...Elves?

The elves quickly noticed me and drew their swords.

"Drop it now! I'm warning you!"

I told them With Cole joining my side, aiming his M16A1 at the Elves as the Old Man stares at me with his eyes begging me to help him.

"I suggest you drop yours human."

He says as I count six of them. One of them suddenly lunges as I quickly pulled the trigger.

The rounds easily tore through them, sending them tumbling to the ground as I kept Firing with Cole. I quickly held fire and motioned Cole to stop as we stare at the dead bodies.

"Capt...Were those...Elves?"

He asks me as I crouch down at the bodies, looking at their ears.

"Yeah...Their Elves..."

I say while standing up as the Old Man rushes towards us.

"Oh thank you! Thank you, kind sirs! I wouldn't know what to do if they took my Family's savings!"

He says, shaking both of my hands repeatedly as I smile.

"No problem sir, it's our duty."

I told him as he lets go of my hands and turns to the Bodies.

"Aye...Poor Elves...Brainwashed by the Believes of the Dark One..."

He says, confusing me and Cole as he turns back to us.

"Let's get going."

He says as we got back on the Carriage, Leaving the bodies on the road. As the carriage drives, I stare at the bodies as they gradually became further and further.

"...What the hell is this place..."

I mutter to myself as the ride continues in silence.

I close my eyes and I immediately regretted it.

I now stand in a destroyed American FOB With bodies of Vietcongs and Americans everywhere. I start to breathe heavily as I look down at my arms. I quickly dropped the M16 on the ground as it was covered in blood, my clothes covered in blood as I breathe heavily.

I heard a sound above me as I look up to see a Burning Huey about to crash into me...
