A long time ago, I killed without second thoughts.
"Aahh... AAAH NO! FORGIVE ME! I WASN'T TRYING TO SPY! I'M NOT FROM THE OTHER CLAN! PLEASE! NO! AHHHH!"
"Intruders deserve to burn."
"That's my girl. Tell me. What happens to the enemies of our clan?
The child Ley replied expressionlessly. Her eyes were lifeless and dull.
"They will die. Without warning. Without second chance."
The father laughed. "Hahaha!" Well responded."
"Father! How could you teach someone so young to kill!"
"Edna! You dare disobey me!"
"No! I have no intention of doing so! But this is too much!
Then the war came. No. Not a war. But a MASSACRE. On our side.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Where's the Canyon family's power now! Kill them ALL!"
"Ley look out!"
Ley looked over and gasped.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Edna, bleeding profusely from the abdomen.
"*HACK HACK!*" My sister was coughing blood. Then she said,
"My sweet little sister..."
"No! Sister Edna, save your strength!"
"You'll grow into a strong, beautiful lady... Not by violence. But with your heart... Please. Promise me you won't kill on sight. Promise that you will think before taking a life."
"I told you to save your strength!"
Ley's lifeless eyes had color in them. Like she was given a new life by the gods themselves. Edna's, however, were fading.
"Sister Edna! Wake up!"
The enemy demons were approaching her.
"Hey... Isn't that the child of the Canyon chief?"
"If we kill her, we'll be rewarded beyond our wildest dreams!"
That was the last time I took a life. But this time I thought. They deserved to die.
"Garouille... Come."
A wide portal came from the ground and out came a small dragon.
"Don't... Don't tell me this kid's a summoner!"
"Garouille. Do my bidding. Erase these fiends from my sight."
"Wai- Wait! Shouldn't you think?"
"Oh I thought real hard. I think it's equal. A sister for three lives."
The dragon's eyes shone and charged towards the demons.
That night, I buried her. Next to the two swords she wielded.
