The boy's eyes held a deep sadness as he spoke.
Nina could feel the pain in his heart. The village had been peaceful, and now, in an instant, everyone was dead, leaving him alone.
Nina bit her lip and stepped forward to help the boy gather the bodies. As they worked, she asked, "I saw what happened. Weren't those people soldiers? Did your village do something to provoke them?"
A flash of anger crossed the boy's eyes. "Do you think the elderly and children could have done anything? Those weren't soldiers, they were Pharaoh's men!" His voice was filled with rage, words squeezed out between gritted teeth.
The able-bodied men of the village had left to earn money or had been drafted, leaving only the vulnerable behind.
They just wanted to live in peace. What had they done to deserve this?
"I'm sorry," Nina said, at a loss for words. In her understanding, soldiers were supposed to be honorable and disciplined, but the boy's words shattered that belief.
And he had mentioned Pharaoh again. Pharaoh’s men were looking for her, making poisons, burning, and looting…
"Why did you come here, to such a war-torn place?" the boy asked.
In this place, apart from civilians living in the midst of war, there were peacekeeping forces, Pharaoh's subordinates, and the local army. But the local army was too weak to protect anyone.
Nina hesitated. "I came to find someone. I was with friends, but we got separated. What's your name?" She paused before adding, "Is this the Yaren territory?"
The boy glanced at her before bringing some branches from behind a house.
Nina followed, helping him gather more. When they had enough, he lit a fire. As the flames roared, he finally spoke, "This is the northern part of the Yaren territory."
