The Will to Survive

Chapter 1
The war was not to be messed with. Kaye knew that firsthand. She knew what it felt like to be taken away from her parents, and get forced to work for the tyrant. She knew what it felt like to be discarded as useless and have to fight every day for food and a safe place to rest.

And it still happened. The war had been going on for four years, and the tyrant was still ruling. No one knew who the tyrant really was. Whether they were male or female or gender-fluid or non-binary/agender. Only the closest confidants knew. And they probably were kept watch closely.
