APPOLOGIES, I HAD TO REDO THIS PART. IT WAS BUGGING ME.


A kingdom burning in fire.

There is nothing worse than seeing the peaceful place you were born in crumble to the ground in a matter of minutes. A single man calling himself King strides through the castle of thorns like he owns the place, thick wine blood dripping down his sword. The jewels of the kingdom have fallen, a suffocating sea of blue and orange swallowing everything it touches, strange men drag people on to the streets. . . the ones who couldn't escape at least.

The city is dead.

By fate or punishment I survived, cursed with the emblems painted on the metal arms and chests forever haunting my mind. Cursed with the scars of my sin.

A motionless body.

I let it happen.

Eyes that would not open.

I was weak. Scared.

Hair dyed red.

I killed her because I wasn't fast enough, wasn't strong enough.

But never again.

Death will be given to those who deserves it. . .

. . . what ever it takes.

Our hearts beat, but who says we are alive?
