Red Snow
Chapter 1: Descend
Frozen fragments danced around two dark silhouettes that had their backs pressed against each other as they crouched into their fighting stance. The blue moonlight twinkled to divulge that one had a lithe womanly figure with fiery red hair and cautious emerald green eyes, the other had a stalwart statuesque physique with raven black hair and sharp eyes of silver grey.
A metallic sound rose when they unsheathed their blades, the crescent moonlight shone to reveal the two forms entirely besieged by hostile enemy soldiers in a dense snow-blanketed forest.
The snow gently descended from the partly clouded sky when the crimson-haired girl recalled with a wry smile, the reverberating words of her mentor four years ago: "Learn to work together, as one day; your lives may depend upon it."
The girl quickly turned her head around to face her companion; his eyes were focused on the enemies before him, but seemed to discern her eyes upon him, which triggered him to veer his own head.
His astute grey eyes softened when he held her gaze, he then gave her a reassuring smile and turned back to face his foes.
The snow gave a crunch under the boots of the enemy infantry as they stalked warily closer, the girl whirled her head back at her opponents, a smile bloomed from within her heart as it bubbled to the surface of her face.
She realized at that moment that her mentor could not have been more correct; deep inside her heart she knew she could trust her comrade with her life, and profoundly still, grasped that if she was going to die, it would be an honor to die by his side—even if he was an annoying, childish, arrogant, beef brain—deep down, he was a valiant man whose actions resonated louder than mere words; a person who stuck on until the end, even if conditions seemed dim: he was always by her side.
"Try not to get in my way, Jane," he jeered.
"As long as you stay out of mine, Gunther," she retorted.
Some things never change, thought Jane as she shook her head, her vibrant red curls waved in unison.
The infantrymen paused for a moment, Jane and Gunther were readily alert, the opponents abruptly lunged for a direct attack at the two knights.
Jane and Gunther parried with ease and retaliated the oncoming soldiers, their swords danced in the navy moonlight as their blades pierced their foes, who, in turn collapsed to the ground, their blood seeped into the white snow.
When did all this began? Mused Jane, it seemed like such a long time ago, the lapse in time appeared so distant and remote from the current heavily-heated battle.
Images surged through Jane's mind when she recollected the beginning of the war.

Sorry for the short chapter, it was actually longer but I didn't feel like rewriting and editing it (too much hw) I promise I'll upload it soon (hopefully) the next chapter will be about Jane's memories before the war started and they will eventually take you back to when Jane is remembering, the whole story actually is her memories leading up to this point.
So far I've only a few chapters in manuscript form and I really have not been able to write any more (writers block or something) but I promise it's all in my head and I will eventually write it soon, so don't worry if I don't update in a while, I really have a lot of homework (doing essays, reading books, college is hard T.T)
Thank you very much for reading, and please review!
