Chapter 3 :Servia

Servia is in the exact center of the continent Kwaha. A very ancient village, it doesn't look like a village though. It looks like a great kingdom. All of the houses on it are atop a hill, with water flowing right between the hills, making transportation and trade easier with other countries.

A few hundred years ago when colonization broke out on earth, the most powerful kings started fighting and ruling the countries they wished to. At that moment the village elders decided that a village as valuable as Servia is too dangerous to fall into the wrong hands. Thus, Servia was divided into two parts. The inner part was called the "core" . The Core is the part of the village which is inaccessible by the outside world. It has been deep embedded in the dense forests , in the midst of a big canyon. It is here that the major mining , lumbering, farming etc. takes place . It is rich in gems and diamonds, which makes it the most valuable place on earth . That is why it became such an unsafe place.

 
 The outer zone , which the rest of the world PRESUMED to be the real and whole of Servia was actually the "buffer zone" , which had hardly some mines and farms , but nevertheless , was very important for two reasons:

1.) To the world, it was the key to the lush forests as Servia bordered the dense forests, and disallowed any access to strangers.

2.)To the villagers, anyone who had destroyed the Buffer zone would get easy access to the Core, which would ultimately break all other balances ,and anarchy would rule.

When sudden Colonization broke out, the village elders sent out their best of warriors , but it was too late.  Servians had spent so much of manpower and wealth in building the core and the buffer zone that they hadn't invested any time and money in war and weapons of combat.

The elders then decided upon a plan . They sent out the handful of inexperienced soldiers to defend. The buffer zone had another handful.

The only job expected from these was to put up resistance until the core had committed the biggest ethical mistake they ever could.

Create an army of children soldiers.

Rather than giving them an education , they gave them arms training , combat skill training, cavalry ,infantry and stealth training. These children, who were too young to be independent thinkers , trusted the elders and did as they were told. Most of them , by the time they had reached their adolescence , had become great fighting machines, but all of them were just plain robots. They had no thinking skills,hardly any feelings,the merciless training had made them just lifeless killing machines.




But one of them was different. One of them was more brilliant than the entire village put together, more agile than his entire army ,  and more ferocious than the foreigners themselves. A combination of this made him the most dangerous 17 year old in the whole of Kwaha.
