“It’s been a long journey here.” The Colonel walked up to a patch of settled dark soil. A tombstone right above it that read; ‘In Loving Memory of Nameless Soldier’. The war is over and finally the old scholar can sit down and spend some time with his son. As he had promised before. No more to fear a feeling he wished both had lived to experience but he was just as loyal to the Empire as his father was. “I’m sorry, son.” he slowly wept. “Nobody will remember your name from this war. But we will. The war is coming to an end. It's our time to join hands and ensure that all of our sacrifices will not be in vain.” On the horizon came a platoon of men dressed in Helena reds marching towards the capital city. Turning his head over to the cheers echoing throughout the valley where a lot of the war’s blood was spilled. Now men marched coming back from the front. “We’re all coming home, son.”

 

A letter written by Darius Sabari to the servicemen of the Imperial State Army

“Men and women of the Imperial State Army, you’ve done your nation a great service. I was never one for speeches as many of you know already. So I will state it simple for my own sake as I am now an older man. We had nothing at the beginning, not even a functioning gatehouse to even work with. Yet you all stood together alongside people who you took up as brothers and sisters against a threat to protect each other's way of life and created a union stronger that gave meaning and drive to the Imperial State Army. We've molded this city ourselves and now that an end to this war is in sight, it is all of our duty, soldier or not, to protect it from those who wish to destroy it.  We’ve all lost a tremendous amount, let’s make it not be in vain. Every day we live is for one of our Nameless soldiers who could not come home to family, like the rest of us. The Empire and I want to thank you. We truly owe a great debt to the servicemen who put themselves in the center of this war to ensure what we have built prospers for centuries. Thank you all for this experience of a lifetime, soldiers.”
