ASHES OF VALOR

THE VOICE

CHAPTER 4: THE VOICE*

The comms tower was dead, just like everything else.

Kael plugged the black box in. It crackled, then a voice played. Her blood went cold.

It was General Kane. Talking to someone not in the army.

_"There is a bigger war coming. I needed to see if you were ready to lead it. They were weak, you are not."_

The same words he said to her in the fire.

But the second voice replied: "And if Drax survives?"

Kane: "Then she will be declared deserted. Shoot on sight. She will either die angry, or come back angry enough to win the next war for us."

Kael dropped the box. It wasn't a betrayal. It was a test. Jace, Mira, Colt — they weren't soldiers to him. They were a price he was willing to pay to forget her.

Mira was not weak. She was 19 and called her big sister.

Kael picked up the box again. Her hands weren't shaking anymore. no fear in her eyes.

"If he wants a weapon," she said to the empty tower, "I'll give him one."
