Thread: The Decades Long War {LittleCookie x MysticSparxman}

For a long time now, Alexander Valentine had done his best to avoid the war. While it was true that he had once been a part of the vicious war, he quit the army he had belonged to for many years after witnessing so many horrendous things during the war. There came a time when he just felt as if none of it was right, so after quitting the army and the war, he escaped everything. He headed to a place that had not been touched by the war. He escaped to a place that no-one else knew about. He went back to his parent's place way up in huge forest way up in a vast mountainous region far, far away from the rest of the war ravaged country. Luckily for him, he knew how to look after himself as he had been one of the best swordsmen not only in his unit, but also in the army he had once been a part of. Once again, Alexander had come down from the place he had come to call home just like he would most days. Normally, he paid no attention to the bodies that lay scattered around in the wastelands he usually did his best to avoid. However, as he had started to pass them by, something made him stop. Out of the corner of his eye, he was certain he saw someone fall to the ground. He turned in the direction he thought he saw someone fall, and then started making his way there. Alexander sighed to himself as he had to step over body after body until he got to the place where he thought he had seen someone fall. He looked around for a few seconds before he spotted her a few feet to his left. Alexander made his way over to the fallen girl and crouched down beside her. He was surprised to see that she was still breathing as he noticed the wound on her shoulder She's still alive. He whispered to himself. Even after noticing the symbol of her empire on her uniform, he still scooped her up in his arms. Turning on his heels, he started stepping back over the bodies as he walked from the wastelands as quickly as he could with her in his arms. Alexander was confident he would be able to save Nalari just as long as he was able to get her back to his home quick enough. With her in his arms, it took longer than usual to get back to his home deep in the forest up in the mountains, but he was able to make it back there in roughly 45 minutes. As soon as he had made it back to his home, he rushed straight through to the spare bedroom in his home and wasted no time in setting her down in the already made up bed. He got back to his feet and headed back to the bathroom to pick up a few things for Nalari's wound. He returned with some hot water, bandages and some gauze. Sitting back down on the side of his bed close to her, he was careful to remove her armor before he started to clean up her wound. It took him nearly five minutes to properly clean up her wound and then it took him another five minutes to properly dress and bandage up her wound. Setting her back down in the bed, he pulled the blankets up and around her shoulders and he decided to let her rest. He stood her sniper rifle up against the wall by the side of the bed and then he left the room, leaving the door slightly ajar just in case he needed to check in on her again. After leaving the room, he headed down to the kitchen to prepare some food and something to drink just in case she were to wake up.
