Data Entry 50
Narration: Valhalla was bursting with activity in the ''Hall of Battle. ''Kentaru Hyūga was in the sidelines observing the Angels and the Einherjars as they prepare for the battle in the planes of Midgard below, with a worried look in his face.

Nearby, Zwei Schniezel was helping his platoon members when he noticed his fellow Heian warrior, all to quiet and not his usual self.

After helping his comrades, Zwei approached Kentaru. Kentaru notices Zwei as he extended his right hand in handshake.

Zwei: "What seems to be troubling you Kentaru Dono? Today is an important day for us."

Kentaru replied with a strong handshake and turned his attention back at the activity that he is currently observing.

Kentaru: "I've prepared for war numerous times. I am not sure if it is proper for an Einherjar that was given a second chance to utter such words, but I am seem to be losing hope that wars such as this will someday become but a bad memory..."

Zwei: "Wars will continuously be fought, comrade. What will happen to a world being engulfed with evil if good men would to nothing?"

Kentaru: "Indeed... But this is just me wishing there would be another way..."

Zwei contemplates for a moment the words that Kentaru spoke. And then with a smile he faced his comrade once more.

Zwei: "You seem to be losing hope so easily, friend. And for one of Valhalla's finest, that shouldn't be so..."

Kentaru smiled a bit.

Kentaru: "We may be Einherjars, my friend, but we were once ordinary mortal warriors too. We doubt, we lose interest, we lose hope..."

Zwei: "...how about you let me do you a favor, friend." Zwei stopped Kentaru mid-way. "If you are slowly losing hope, then put whatever is left of it on me, and I shall keep the spirit of that hope alive. We will see an end into this tragedy we call wars or battles. The heavens may glorify it all and have our names included in songs of victory and celebration. But I will continuously keep that hope alive for as long as I draw breath."

Kentaru: "Mhmm, so be it comrade. You just gave this old warrior a silverlining." Replied Kentaru with a smile.

Zwei: "You cover my back and I shall reply in kind."
