Crimson Requiem PT I

my thoughts flooded my mind once again as i lay on the bloody ground.

usually after a battle of such proportions i find it easy to walk away in a beat.

yet this one was different.
she had always smiled at me when i walked pass her in the kingdom and when i finally gathered the courage to ask her on a date,
she almost explode with happiness.
even after the years we spent together i never thought it would end like this.

i could hear the roar of the two armies still battling around me.

not a soul could’ve know what was to come.

the general sure didnt.
when he initiated the charge, it really did seem like we could be the victors.

no.

it was certain.

but that was because we had thought she already died.

i knew she did.

i killed her.

but vengeance seemed to be stronger than death.

the colors red and silver were all that could be seen as she slashed her way into the sea of knights.

turning the tide of battle.

all while looking as beautiful as she did when i first saw her.

now,
with half of my comrades dead or about to be,
she locks her eyes onto mine.

i cant move.

she does.

before i can regain myself i feel the pressure of her foot on my chest,
knocking me down in one mere move.

she stands above me, sword at my neck, pain in her voice. "i trusted you." she hisses through her teeth.

my lips won’t budge.

tears in her eyes, she smiles that same smile that warmed my heart.

chills encompased me this time around.

she stares at me as if stabbing me multiple time in her mind.

and then... she coughs.

blood trickling down the sides of her mouth.

a spear.
right through her back.
my brain couldnt regerister the event before she fell beside me.

eyes wide with shock and red tears on her checks.

i am petrified.

maybe this was a good thing i try to convince myself due to the warmth coming over me,
not realizing it was becuase of my wife bleeding so much,
it began to seep into my armor.

my thoughts flooded my mind once again as i lay on the bloody ground.

usually after a battle of such proportions i find it easy to walk away in a beat.
