She never thought it'd happen, to be honest, the thought never slipped into little Karteria's mind. The thought that her beloved father, Cybrixius, could one day die, never to see the very little "Sunlight," they get in Esoteria. Karteria was in the verge of tears, her body in excruciating pain. She used her only good limb, her arm in other words, to crawl to the cold body laying a few feet away from her, that said body happen to be her father's.
"F-father-" she began, feeling her fathers face with her good hand, the one that wasn't numb at the moment. "F-father," she said once again, her eyes watering, she couldn't believe it, she wouldn't. "Fath-" She felt for his pulse, there wasn't a trace of life anywhere in her father's body. She felt a lump in her throat, she soon attempted to swallow it down, as an embarrassing memory of her mother's nation still watching her, shocked. She couldn't swallow it down, though, as it came back up her throat, causing her to choke on a sob, tears slowly running down her eyes. She hugged her father close, then as if she'd been waiting for this moment, she picked her dead father's body up as high as she could, retrieving his dirtied rainbow uniform, and his sword.
He always called this sword his, "Badass Adraxian Sword," - she mentally chuckled at that - He told me the day he died the sword would go down the family line, down to me. Soon she began to cough up blood, she couldn't remember anything after that, only her slipping her father's rainbow uniform on, and fainting from blood loss, hearing her named being repeatedly yelled in the background. Music to her ears.
