The unending war finally found its end. 34 years of suffering, loss of loved ones, demihumans finally found their solace in annihilating the sentinels—invaders from a different realm only for a single round blue gemstone. The demihumans didn't know what it's worth even though it's their possession. But the sentinels were different. They called it a divine treasure of life. A treasure that's so precious to them that they were ready to go on an all-out war with the demi-humans.
A youth stood up from his rest, gasping for air.
"Commander Belleishor. What should we do with this?"
The youth atop of the hill glanced sideways. He lifted his hand to catch the stone from his follower. Lifted his hand and admired the source of this pandemonium.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"This stone caused our homeland disaster. I wouldn't want another war just because of a damn stone! For my brothers and sisters who risked it all. I'll offer my body as a place of solace for all of you. You shall now be free to rest"
Belleishor raised the stone above his head, showered by pale sunlight. Then swallowed the stone, not knowing what will happen. His body glowed a dark blue in color.
"NOOOOO!!!"
"Commander!!!"
"Stop him!! Somebody stop him!!!"
Then he killed himself by committing self-destruction. His body exploded and ended his life.
Belleishor, the 74th commander of the demihumans, felt relief. Because after the years of suffering, he can now be in peace with his brothers and sisters. Only to find out that it was only the beginning.
