Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

Diana was a only a few metres away from the villa when an officer approached her and saluted her, subsequently giving her some papers. It was met for the president general and since she was now his vice personal assistant, she could handle it.

As she flipped the papers , she heard someone call her name from behind. She turned and surprisingly it was Flora. The president generals mother.

“Hi!!!!” She said with a forced smile. She didn’t like Diana from the onset because the love she ought to be getting from her son were all going straight to her or atmost being shared between the both of them.

Yes, she was that kind of mother…

“Hi, Good evening ma’am!” Diana greeted respectfully, even though Flora ought to be the one to greet her.

In the military base, age is just a number… Even if you’re 70, it’s your duty to obey your superior even if he or she is 10 years old.

“How are you? ” Flora inquired,

Gradually she successfully initiated a conversation with Diana and it was going well. At some point, Flora made a suggestion that they take a stroll and Diana already feeling relieved and comfortable with her company, agreed.

They discussed about a lot of things, shared memories and fun moment even as Flora intentionally led Diana to the ammunition building.

The grandwar masters ward was 200 metres close by and Mark had been there to sort out some urgent issue. He was on his way back when he saw his mum and Diana bonding very well. He was very happy with the relationship that had suddenly began to develop between his mum and his betrothed. He thought it would take time, but surprisingly it didn’t.

He hid in one corner as Diana and Flora walked passed him. None of them saw him, he however, wondered what Flora and Diana were doing in the grand masters ward.

“Maybe its women’s thing… ” He thought.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Only the grandwar masters are allowed to enter into the ammunition house vicinity and as such Diana halted on her footstep.

“We can’t go in there…. Only the grandwar masters are allowed into the ammunition house vicinity….” She explained when Flora asked.

Flora already knew that and that was why she was bringing her there to be precise.

“Com’on… I’m the president general’s mother and I can do anything… Even the grandwar masters respect me. It won’t be a violation of the rules as far as you’re with me. So, chill….”

“There is something I want to show you! In there” Flora added, in an attempt to persuade her.

It took almost 2 minutes of persuasion, still Diana held her ground insisting it was against the military rules and regulations, violations would result in death.

Alas, they both resolved to sitting at a bench closeby.

Few minutes into their dialogue, Flora’s phone chirped and she excused herself to answer the call.

Few minutes after she left, Diana overheard a disturbance at the backyard of the ammunition house. It was so disturbing that she fell for the temptations of crossing the boundaries to go check what was up.

“Maybe, that was an enemy… ” She thought, and it was her thoughts that lured her into the temptation. She brought out her small pistol and dropped into a shooting stance as she walked tactically to the backyard of the building.

When she got there, she was surprised to find out that it was just some woodworks not properly arranged that fell and scattered. Little did she know that someone scattered it.

She dug her pistol into its pocket as she left the backyard. She was relieved to find out it was no big deal.

Just as she stepped out of the ammunition building vicinity, she was sent flying by the forceful loud explosion behind her.

Stars started to spin around her head as she crashed to the ground heavily. Few moments time, she managed to recollect herself. When she turned, she was shocked to see the ammunition house burning. The radiation of hotness from the fire sent her to step few metres backward to avoid the radiation.

She was shocked, ” a war is coming and now the ammunition house is burnt down?”

The burning fire was very massive that a commotion had suddenly erupted in the military base. Smokes hung around the air. Plenty of officers disorganized.

All sterling city military base weapons and ammunition were kept in that building. Their explosive inclusive.

Fire fighters had already been alerted and they were all over the place trying to quench the fire, it was however a very difficult task.

At 9pm in the evening. Every living soul and officer in the military base were called to the central field.

Over thousands of soldiers lined and stationed according to their ranks stood at an attention staring at the tall large podium with fear and tension gripping them.

Lights from the streetlights illuminated the whole central field and comprehended the darkness totally.

The atmosphere was a mixture of sadness and fear. They had never lost a battle, but with these major loss in their ammunition building their chances of winning is very slim.

The ammunition cost the government billions of dollars and it may take time for a new ammunition building to be set up.

Richarlison had returned. He was standing with Derrick on the large and tall podium. Grandwar masters stood by the left side of the podium and the other thousands of officer stationed according to their ranks stood before the podium…

Then, Mark cleared his throat as he spoke into the microphone that magnified his voice so loudly that everyone could hear it.

Diana and Flora stood behind the podium as they watched in anticipation, what the president general would suggest the military base do before their enemy attacks.

Meanwhile, Jason had received the news and he was fueling his men to charge up as they would attack anytime soon.

Every of his soldiers were all training and getting ready for battle…… a battle that they have an upper hand at winning.
