Colonel Zakariah stood at the precipice of chaos, his country torn apart by the flames of civil war. For two long years, he had fought tirelessly against the rebels who sought to overthrow the government he had sworn to protect. But with each passing day, the conflict had only escalated, leaving destruction and despair in its wake. The rebels had waged a relentless campaign of destruction, targeting the very foundations of the city's infrastructure and leaving its people to suffer the consequences.

As Sarah slowly regained consciousness, a wave of dizziness washed over her, disorienting her senses as she struggled to make sense of her surroundings. Blinking back the haze of unconsciousness, she found herself lying on the floor, her hands bound tightly behind her back. Panic surged through her veins as she realized the gravity of her situation, her mind racing with thoughts of escape and survival.

Sarah's heart pounded with a mixture of relief and apprehension as she entered Zakariah's quarters. The simple, one-bedroom accommodation felt like a sanctuary compared to the bleak confines of her prison cell. She took a moment to survey her surroundings, noting the sparse furnishings and utilitarian design. It was clear that this was a space meant for functionality rather than luxury, a place where Zakariah could retreat from the chaos of the outside world. But as Sarah's gaze fell upon herself, she was struck by the stark contrast between the cleanliness of Zakariah's quarters and her own disheveled appearance. The grime of days spent in captivity clung to her skin, mingling with the dried blood of a rebel's wounds. Her hair hung in greasy tangles around her face, and her lips were cracked and dry from dehydration. The stench of sweat and filth permeated the air around her, a constant reminder of the indignities she had endured. Zakariah entered the room, his expression betraying
