A Good Day!

Today was going to be a good day, it had finally been decided, Evermore and Everlast would be going to war.... don't get me wrong I know war isn't a good thing, however our lords have been in negotiations for months on years and tensions within their respective peoples have been growing, some ancient families have relations on both sides. As a warrior I am content in times of piece but these last few years have been hell, so now I can say I am eager to step up and defend my people my Lord my city. the rumble of readiness rang through the barracks as I did up my last buckles, grabbing my swords I joined the march, after a long two suns travel we met our enemy. swords clashed horns sounded, bodies on both sides fell, we were now fighting in blood soaked mud, amongst the sound of weapons clashing you would hear crying wailing and the screams of the once brave now wounded and dying, in battle the lucky one die on the spot, they don't have the agony of slowly bleeding out, and as for the living, forever haunted by the lives lost and taken.

I had just slain two half giant battle axe wielding brutes, my blade was dripping when I thought I heard a thud....my eyes closed.

I woke in darkness, no moonlight not even the flair from a torch, and there was no sound, not of battle or of the land itself. I blinked several times and shook my head still nothing, was I asleep??

I started when the hand took mine, it was cold and thin, a firm but not hard grip, I dared to look to my left, a tall dark figure with a featureless face looked down at me and nodded once. He started forward and I walked with him.

Into the ever dark and silent void....
