I write this so that in the event of my death, I leave something behind.

In all honesty, I would have wanted to have my kids or something, but written here are things that you whoever you are will not find anywhere else.

A large shadow appeared in the sky, we didn't know what it was back then, past experiences had taught us to believe whatever it as to be hostile and anyone with half a brain would have thought to shoot the dam thing down.

Thankfully we didn't.

We were loosing, the Lucus were pushing us back, we only had one city left, it was Humanities treasure, our last hope.

"Well?"

"They agreed to let us on board, but there are a few conditions" I watch the higher us say to one another, my job was just to keep guard and nothing more.

Still, no one said I couldn't listen.

"According to the Adventurers, that's what they call themselves, we can keep our government and everything we have, but everything from history, technology, books, entertainment, weapons and anything of value will be openly given to anyone and everyone"

"They will do the same"

"Isn't that like we're the ones getting everything we want?"

"That's just the problem, this sityuation, it's too good to be true"

"What about them helping us fight?"

"They said it's not their problem, they have no idea what forced them to show up here and this isn't their war."

"From their point of view, they agreed to house what remains of our population, give us food, water, medicins and so on, but they won't risk their people's lives for no reason."

No one said anything after that and a heavy silence filled the room.

"What about the Independents?"

"They agreed to enter the ship, but won't be obedient to one government, they want to keep their independance."

"The Adventurers agreed to let them under the condition that none of them, no man women or child will ever be able to demand better treatment, because, under those conditions, none of them were ever going to become citizens"

"They nearly killed each other, but in the end, the Republicks agreed. They're moving their people to the ship already"

"..."

"...I'll make the announcement"

My job was to keep guard and not say anything, even when I was ordered to stay behind and make sure that none of the dust-covered papers were messed with, still, I listened to the announcement.

"People of Sera, the Adventurers, the people of Aincrad have agreed to let us into their ship, their fortress, under the condition that we respect the fact that we have no power or control of the castle"

"In exchange, they are willing to share their resources with all of us."

"These years have been difficult and few of us remember a time before this war."

"As of this moment I am ordering every man women and child to grave everything that they can, be it books, drawings even your favorite blankets and head to the ships"

"The war is over for now"

I couldn't believe what I had just heard, the announcement instantly demoralized anyone that heard it, even if they were fighting.

We had lost and everyone was going to be taken aboard a castle floating in the sky.

The door to the room opened and I watched as the same people that had been inside walked back in, they began to take boxes filled with papers, some papers were shredded others were put in other boxes and finally, one of them pointed at me and told me to get on the helicopter.

I did as I was ordered and as we were flying to the ship, I remember tightening my grip on my gun, I remembered the stories I had heard hen I was a kid and the movies I had seen.

How aliens would do strange things to the people they caught, I wasn't going to let them do anything like that to me.

I remember seeing the airplanes, both civilian and military all heading towards the massive thing, giant dors were letting them in.

The moment the helicopter landed, I was the first one to walk onto the place, the entire room was made of some kind of rock, I could see soldiers stepping out and looking around making sure that there weren't any surprises.

The Coalition and the Independents eyes each other but none of us wanted to start a firefight.

"Please come this way" A man wearing red medieval knight said to us.

Soldiers to the front, the back and on each side, to keep those important and the civilians safe, I remember feeling the hairs on my body stand as we walked out of the hanger.

It was like if we had just walked right back outside, blue sky's, yellow sun and the cleanest air I have ever breathed.

We arrived at a village, filled with things that looked like people, but they had no irises and just repeated the same things over and over again, machines that did what they were supposed to do, but were malfunctioning in their speech.

We had the usual done to us, medical check-ups and given baths.

I had forgotten how good it felt to have a hot shower, the sandwiches we were given, I broke down crying, I tried to hold face, all of us did but having something this wonderful was something I never expected to have ever again.

The castle\ship is bigger on the inside, so there is always more room.

I don't want to leave, I don't want to go back and fight for a world we have already lost.

We've done repeated sweeps to make sure we didn't leave people behind, anyone we brought back by force, asked us to forgive them after they saw where we had brought them.

I have a wife, a son that is training to become a knight and fight to defend his town.

I don't want to go back.

I'm not the only one, both soldiers and civilians want to stay.

I don't know what to do.

I've learned to farm, however, because there are big animals here I still need to fight, so once in a while, I go and hunt some miniatures or giant boars to keep the populations down and not have them hurt our harvest.

I don't want to go back. please don't make me go back.

God, I don't want to go back, please I just want to stay here and live my life with my family, god I beg you don't let them send me back.
