Lore/New ways to remember

Hot... too many... shit I can't see anything, where is Jacob? And Hades? Where they get?

Why we had to accept this mission? Why it had to be by night? Useless questions Krana... focus.

*Nate: AIDEN! Ouf of there now!!*

I know I need to get out of here, but I have to find the rest of the team first. Where the hell they get? With this fire surrounding me I can't see anything. Shit, the village is burning really fast, I don't have much time.

*Nate: We don't have any time Aiden. The fire is reaching the EVAC, if you don't hurry then I'll leave with the rest*

Well thanks for the support... I can't blame him, I would do the same if I were in his shoes... There! Is that Hades?

*Aiden: Hades?! Hey, get here c'mon. Where is Jacob?!*

Nate: The hell are you mumbling? Hades and Jacob are in the chopper! Who is that guy!?

I'm about to know, I guess some rebel but I don't have time to... no, he's reaching me... why is he running towards me? Is that a grenade launc-

**Blackout**

*Nate: Aiden, get up and run!!! AIDEN!*

That voice... so far away... Except is not away, he is at my side. And screaming. I'm lying on the ground. Why I'm so fucking stunned?

The grenade went nearby, right? Great deduction Krana but do the favor to get up...

*Aiden: Nate, we can't leave now!*

Nate: Sure, It's a great plan to stay here and see the fireworks, but It's not really healthy! Get to the chopper NOW!

Aiden: And what about the devices? We can't let the rebels get-

Nate: There's no more devices Krana, they ignited the place, there's nothing more to safe here!

Aiden: What about the Roaches and the Ulars? Where did they-

Nate: Some escaped at the second we broke the deal, others like the explosive one, are dead

The rebel was lying on the floor. He had two bullet holes in the chest. Nate saved me life once again.

Hehelped me to reach the chopper, and once we get there, they realised about my wounds.

*Hades: God... Aiden, your arm*

Nates: Damn, we have to get to the Medbay right now, Jacob hurry up with this thing!

Jacob: Wanna drive "this thing"?

Nate: Busy with the dead-man-walking right now

I don't feel anything... why are they so worried? They can't be exaggerating but I don't feel-

My left arm... burned... completely... there's barely skin... When did this happen? When the grenade explosion? Before...?

Since Hades removed the shrapnel I started to be more clumsy and slow... why? I don't get anything... I don't feel anything...

Why everything is so cold now?

**Blackout**

Richard.

*???: Is he stabilized?*

???: Yes. His cardio rate is normal, and he didn't lost much blood

Why?

*???: And his arm?*

???: About that, he lost almost the 70% the skin of his left arm... we bandaged him and treat the burns.

???: He'll recover?

You... why send everything to hell?

*???: Physically, of course, the arm skin can be replaced.*

???: And... mentally?

???: He never... he's not... no. I'm no therapist, I don't know what class of PTSD he has, but he's broken somehow. I don't know what caused the trauma, but he has been thru a lot, you can see that in his eyes.

Everything may went well... we could, live. And now you and me, we're dead, the difference is that you are rotting in the snow.

Sorry, I didn't want to mean that... It's...

*Aiden: Sorry...*

???: Is he awake?

???: No, he's speaking in dreams. Anyway, you can go now Jacob, I'll take it from here

Jacob: All right.

That fucking shrapnel... and now my arm... my... burned...

I opened the eyes immediately, but that wasn't a good idea. The amount of light blinded me.

*???: Woah, you're awake? Sorry, let me lower the blinds.*

Much better. Now to who am I speaking? Nate River. Ok, at least I don't have amnesia.

*Aiden: Nathan...*

Nate: Hey Aiden, glad to see you back from Morpheus arms

Aiden: What?-

Nate: Happened? Let me see, you had a few scratches, nothing important, a few damaged bones by impact, nothing crucial, and ops, your arm, it's...

Aiden: Bandaged, but yeah, I saw it before I went unconscious

Nate: Wathever, Hades and me... we are worried about you

Aiden: I'm ok-

Nate: You fucking liar, since Hades removed that fricking metallic shit from your lung you...

Aiden: That's not your business-

Nate: It is, cuz your arm has 3rd degree burns, and all because your imprudence

Aiden: Look-

Nate: I'm looking, and I see a man covered in bandages. You'll tell me everything about that shrapnel, but first, I have a boiling water ready to become a delicious black tea. You want some?

Aiden: No-

Nate: Water?

Aiden: Nate-

Nate: I'll be back in 5 minutes, be ready to tell me everything. I want details.

Aiden: I can't explain you, I don't rememb-

Nate: Blah, blah, blah. Get comfortable and wait for me

I laughed with a very tiny smile.

I think is the moment to finish with this. Or maybe this could make things worse? Maybe it's not the time to keep my secrets for me.

Or maybe it's the time to make noise.

But I have to decide if I have to do this by myself or not.

Should stay or I should I go?
