Chapter: Prologue
1930, Capital of The Empire, Berlun
203rd Imperial Army Flight Mage Wing, Wing Commander, Major Tanya Von Degurechaff. The legendary named mage of the Empire was now running through the streets of Berlun.
A few days ago the Empire had officially capitulated to the allied forces. After fighting for the Empire faithfully for 7 years, Tanya was now fleeing from that very same nation.
She could have easily fled the city if there wasn't hundreds if not thousands of enemies on the ground and in the skies.
Hoping to get to the countryside before she was caught Tanya ran as fast as she could. When she would come across a group of soldiers, she would dive into the closest building. Luckily for her the city had been bombed to hell in the final stages of the war, so it was easy to hide.
To keep herself from being stopped easily, she had tossed her rifle and was now running around with a Luger Pistol as her only defense. She moved quickly from street to street, keeping close to the shadows, and alleyways.
She was in such as hurry that she didn't check around the corner of the alley to see if it was clear, resulting in her knocking over a Republican soldier.
The man fell hard on his side, his rifle skidding across the ground. Tanya didn't stop for a second however; she knew that now was the moment to run even faster. Running in another alleyway across the street, she could hear the soldier shout for her to be captured.
Exiting the alley Tanya spotted a Republican army car, the type used to carry officers and other officials. Clenching her teeth and cursing under her breath, Tanya knew it was her one chance to move even faster.
Running towards the vehicle, Tanya slammed her body into one of the two soldiers that were leaning against the car. Raising her pistol up she fired a single round into the second stunned soldier. Killing him instantly and spraying the ground with blood.
Moving quickly, she then fire three rounds into the soldier on the ground. Civilians screamed and ran away in all directions. Jumping into the car she started the engine and took off. Turning a sharp right around a corner. She crushed a soldier under the car and an unfortunate child. Their blood leaking slowly into the war torn streets.
Tanya did stop for a second. With one hand on the wheel, she patted her pockets to check how many magazines she had left. She counted two, meaning 8 rounds in each magazine. She fired 4 totals round in her current magazine. So in total she has only 20 rounds left.
Scowling at how little ammo she had in case of a fire fight. She drove the car to its limits, stopping for nothing and slowing down only to turn, she raced to the edge of the city.
Soon she had reached the eastern side of the city. Where the Federation and Western Allies divided the city. It seemed to her that the guards had received news about what she had done. Why you might ask, well because as soon as she got close enough. They turned their Lewis gun sentry to face her and opened fire.
Ducking her head down Tanya hoped the car held out long enough for her to cross the line. Too bad luck was not on her side. The machine guns shredded the engine block easily. One round ricocheted into her right leg, causing her to scream out in pain.
With the engine gone the car slowed to a crawl. Opening the door, Tanya fell out of the car. She crawled her way to the back and used the bumper to lift herself onto her left foot.
Allied soldiers rushed to get her but she fired at them. One soldier was killed with the four remaining rounds she fired. She struggled to get the second magazine out of her pocket. Once she did, she was forced to duck because of incoming fire. She exchanged fire with the soldiers but it was futile. She was out gunned and out of ammo.
Once she could no longer return fire she collapsed on the floor and waited for the inevitable. In a few minutes the barrels of several guns came into view. A commanding officer stared down at her.
"Major Tanya Von Degurechaff. It is a surprise to see you and also a great gift. You are the only surviving member of the 203rd Imperial Army Flight Mage Wing. Everyone of your comrades have been executed. Only you remain." He said. Reaching to his holster he drew his pistol.
"Orders are to kill Major Degurechaff on sight."
Tanya stared at the barrel of the gun and felt genuine fear creep into the back of her throat. Her heart raced and she knew what was about to happen. So with all her might she opened her mouth and screamed.
"Curse you Being X!"
A flash of yellow light flashed and a thunderous noise was echoed by silence.
Her eyes moved but nothing else did.
"You were so close, you of so little faith."
Her eyes seemed to shake with the rage boiling within her at hearing the, oh so familiar voice.
"Being X! You always show yourself at the worst of times! You twisted sack of shit!" Tanya tried with all her might to move. But it was all in vain, she could only helplessly stare at the frozen bullet in the air.
"And you are the same as ever. After all that has happened up to this point, you still reject me." The thunderous voice of Being X echoed from every direction.
"I will never praise you, who with your sadistic mind have cursed me!"
"It seems your anger and arrogance blinds you. Those traits of yours will be the end of you."
"My arrogance!? I have simply shown you that faith is unnecessary when you have logic and reason!"
"Yet it is this same logic and reason that has put you in conflict with me. And by your viewpoint, observation and evidence need to be shown for something to be logical and reasonable."
"By your own logic, you should have already acknowledged my existence and power. No, what stops you is not your logic and reason. It is your arrogance."
"Your ego doesn't let you accept my existence, even though you are speaking to me and given me a name. You even acknowledged the blessing I gave you."
"..." Tanya remained silent, she thought back to all that has happened.
"Have I really changed so much? He is right; my ego doesn't let me acknowledge him. But after all that has happened I will not bend my knee to this being!"
"He does not deserve my acknowledgment nor my praise. Only my hate and anger!"
"I will never praise your name! I will never bend my knee to you! You are my enemy and will remain so!" Tanya declared; voice firm and full of conviction.
"It seems that your reincarnation did not put you in a situation dire enough to ignite your faith."
Her eyes widened in fear, she felt the familiarity of these words.
"Though I should let you die, no longer allowing your spirit to reincarnate. I will not do that; instead you shall be taken to another world I believe has enough peril. Maybe then you shall learn to pray."
Without any warning Being X left. With no room to even argue. Time returned to normal. The bullet that had been approaching Tanya was released from the prison of frozen time.
Major Tanya Von Degurechaff, Wing Commander of the 203rd Imperial Mage Wing died. She died on the border of East Berlun.
