Chapter 4 This Better Be A Dream


    At the military base, a chaos erupted. It wasn''t the signal that am unexpected war hase, it was a


    signal that the god of War had returned. In the recently concluded war that happened, ny percent of


    the soldiers returned while ten percent died on battle field. Out of the ny percent of soldiers that


    returned, about eighty percent were injured and that was why the country sent for Easter Ocean City


    medical unit toe to their aid. But the country had been living in fear cause the most important


    person in the military is no where to be found: The god Of War.


    The god of War had lead several battles for his countries and had never lost, though this recently


    concluded battle was almost lost but luckily, the other country retreated making him and his soldiers


    also retreat to their country.


    But the god of War was no where to be found ever since other military officers return. The government


    had searched for him everywhere and hadn''t found him. Some believe that he was probably killed on


    the battle field and that his body had been taken away by the enemies.


    While others who had a strong believe in the ability of the god of war belives that he will return home


    strongly.


    "The god of war is back!" A top officer shouted into a microphone at the central field of the military


    base. At once, every military officer in the base, those that are are sleeping, eating, in the toilet, or


    doing whatever, immediately left what they were doing at once and began to speed towards the central


    field.


    Everyone was d, they were happy that the god of war is back. Everyone wants to see him, the


    dreadful beast who single handedly killed five hundred men in battle, the one who is best in the use of


    gun, best in the use of swords and best in martial arts. Once upon a time, the enemies sent three lions


    to him at the battle field, with his power, he tore the mouths of the lion and defeated them. Who would


    not be scared of the god of war?


    He had once lifted the gate of an enemy city alone with his own hands, such a powerful and blood


    thirsty man. He only knows to kill and doesn''t understand thenguage of mercy. He has no


    weaknesses and is impossible to behold. He''s the god of war. The fear of many enemy countries.


    Katherine also heard about this chaos but she was eating lunch with her kids at that time, she checked


    the military group and saw the news that the god of war had returned. She immediately told her kids," I


    need to attend to something urgent, you all should stay inside, okay?"


    The kids could also hear shouts and screams of many officers from outside.


    "Mommy, what is going on?" Marie asked.


    "The god Of War was lost but now he''s back. I need to join others to go and wee him," Katherine


    said.


    "Okay, mommy," Marie said and received a kiss from Katherine. Katherine hugged her two boys as well


    then went to change to her military uniform quickly then sped out.


    She joined the thousands of soldiers running to the base central field.


    In a jiffy, everyone was lined up ording to their ranks. The private first ss formed a row and


    column, they were about 150,000 in number. The corporal, staff sergeant, sergeant first ss, master


    sergeant, first sergeant, sergeant major,mand sergeant major and sergeant major all formed


    different rows and columns making it easy to identify them. They all had a look of anticpation on their


    face as they await the presence of the god of war. The soldiers were about eight hundred thousand in


    total. They were all lined up in order.


    There were one hundred and ten Generals before the eight hundred thousand soldiers, out of these


    one hundred and ten generals was Katherine. She was also anticipating the presence of the god of


    war. She had heard a lot about him and can''t wait to set her eyes on him.


    Before the one hundred and ten generals were ten Grandwar kings. These were men whose ability to


    fight were beyound the ordinary and before the ten Grandwar kings were 5 Grandwar masters. These


    ones were old men who thrive in wisdom and are best at war strategies.


    All of them all awaits just one man, almost a million people stood in attention to wee one man, that


    man is the god of war.


    Although everyone was anticipating to see this man, their heart was also beating heavily. The


    atmosphere fell into a deep silence and no one dare to make a statement nor even say a word.


    Like a gush of wind, as if the cloud had suddenly turn dark, a majestic and powerful figure climbed the


    scary. He wore a short sleeve heavy-duty jacket, and abat boot. He had a ck beret on his head.


    "Attention!" The five Grandwar masters at the forefront shouted and the officers behind them them


    shouted in uinson even as they raised their left legs up and marched it to the ground," Salute!" The


    sound of their boots marching the floor at the same time sounded like an earthquake.


    But there was Katherine, whose heart was palpitating and who almost lost the ability to breath. She had


    seen the god of war and had be extremely scared and confused. Why does her new husband


    look like the god of war? Can''t be him, right? The god of war has just returned so the soldier she got


    married to definitely can not be the god of war.


    But as she looked inside his cold and icy stare, her mind argued that it was him but she argued back


    that it can''t be him. But why was her heart beating like it will fall off her chest.


    "I, Marshall Derrick Walker has returned," he said inside the microphone. Everyone watched in fear.


    There was a drop dead silence and people were even scared to breath. He added, "I will properly


    address everyone in seven days time. Until then, keep grinding."


    "Yes sir!" The voice of the soldiers that answered in unison sounded like thunder.


    All of a sudden, Katherine felt him looking at her. Was she hallucinating? She thought to herself but the


    god of war suddenly stepped down from the podium through the front step and stood before the five


    Grandwar masters. Their heart began to beat faster than normal as they thought he has something to


    say to them.


    But he left them and soon stood before the Grandwar kings. The Grandwar kings wanted to urinate on


    their body out of fear. They had no idea what he want to say. Fear was clearly written all over their


    faces.


    Then he left the Grandwar kings and went to stand before the one hundred and ten generals, they all


    shivered, it was as if they were suddenly enveloped in minus three hundred degree Celsius cold.


    But amidst the one hundred and ten Generals, the god of war was standing before one person, and


    that person was Katherine.


    Katherine prayed for the ground to open and swallow her up. Why was he standing before her? Why


    was he staring at her? Is he really her new husband? Katherine prayed to God that he would not be.


    The god of war smuggled a small paper into Katherine''s hand without letting anyone know then he


    walked away and dismissed everyone.


    When everyone was dismissed, Katherine stood rooted in the spot with a heart palpitating heavily. She


    was even scared to open the letter. Was he really the one? Can she meet the god of war easily like


    that?


    Oh gosh? She didn''t want to have anything to do with someone as powerful and dreadful as that.


    She wanted to know the content of the letter before returning home. She breathed in as she shut her


    eyes, she held her breath for a few seconds and released it all at once. That was her way of calming


    her anxious self.


    Then she eventually opened the letter and it reads, "Since we are married. We must now live together.


    Bring your children and your luggage to the supreme house "


    Katherine almost fall to the floor as her legs suddenly became jelly. He was really her new husband. He


    was... She almost cried. Her legs had be jelly and she felt her world copsing. How could that


    be. How could she get married to the god of war?


    Oh no! This better be a dream. She quickly tapped herself, trying to wake herself up from D****e but


    she didn''t...


    Haaa.... Katherine wanted to cry. How will she survive? How can she cope with someone who only


    knows how to use swords and guns? And he even thinks she can help him find his mother... Katherine

    suddenly regretted agreeing to marry him. She could have rejected his offer to marry him and walk


    away.
