Blood,
All I see is a Sea of blonde everywhere in this horrid place.
Watching many of my comrades slowly fall or get ripped apart one by one. Bit's by bits.
My eyes starting to water as I watched the souls of my comrades leave their bodies, all booming forever lost in the world that's not living nor dead. Hearing their screams echoed into my ears, feeling my heart ache.
Feeling the emotion starting to overwhelm me all at once, I started to scream in agony, drawing my sword out; lashing out in the cage that's keeping me from helping my friends.
"STOP!" i screamed, over and over again. "STOP IT! LET ME OUT OF HERE!"
I hear the god's hand starting to laugh at me, mock me, not letting me out of this bird caged.
"I see the dove is in hurt" slurred Slan, smirking, "It's a pity how she didn't become one of us, she would've been perfect."
"She little dove has too much light in herself," giggled Ubik, "She's not worthy of becoming one of us."
"Now, Now," Conrad said calmly, "Let's not make the little dove angry now; she's still valuable to our beloved Griffith."
I stopped banging against the cage, feeling numerous tears slide down my checks, hearing his name mentioned. I felt my hands go numb feeling the sword slipped out of my grasp, hearing a loud bang of lost hope.
"Griffith…"

A little girl starred up into the night, catching a glimpse of a bright full moon, glistening with beautiful stars matching and the moon. The stars was beautiful yet silent, only the sound of the fire crackling and a dire wolf companion named Sora's breathing from the slumber.
The girl ran her hands through his fur, only hearing a small purr of delight, enjoying the touch of the girl's finger tips feeling love and comfort. The girl smiled brightly and went back to look at the fire, cooking three squirrels she hunted before night fall
The girl reached over into her large bag and took out a round silver carton. Standing up from her spot, she started to walk towards a stream, and took her giant sword with her.
After the child left, Sora's ear twitched and slowly opened his eyes, and watched his partner walked away. The wolf stood up from his spot and started to stretch out it's body. Sora's ear twitched once more and soon looked up towards a cliff watching a small figure fall off. The wolf's eyes widen a bit in curiosity, wondering what that was.
Sora followed behind his partner,
Not too long, the child finally made it to the stream and placed her carton down into the water, and started fill it up. Letting a small sigh escape her lips, she looked up into the sky wondering what's her next battle plan should be.
Hearing a small noise behind her, she turned her head and spot Sora stepping out of the bushes. Rolling her eyes she popped closed the Carton shut. She looked over towards the dire wolf she hugged Sora around his neck, while Sora nuzzle his partner by placing his head on top of hers.
The girl knew something was up the moment she embraced her partner, she looked up to gaze upon the wolf and wondered a bit.
"Sora," The girl started, "Why are you up? Do you sense something?"
Sora nodded his head, and kneeled down a bit. The girl got the memo and soon quickly jumped on to Sora's back. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held onto his fur. At that moment, Sora let out a loud howl, echoing into the night and soon started to run towards a certain destination.
When they drew closer to the scene, all she saw was a boy around her age, only to see him fight desperately against the wolves with his large sword. Seeing him ruthlessly fight against them, she felt pain in her heart.
It's not the fact that his fighting, nor his wounded
But his eyes seemed so dead, so alone…and betrayed.
She hears the boy scream. She watched the boy fought against a couple of mire wolves trying to eat the boy. Preying on him as if his new dinner. The girl watched him fought bravely yet weakly against them. Feeling his life force starting to tire out. She didn't know what to do, she didn't know if it was right for her to go in and help. Or just let him go on, fighting for his life.
Sora starred at his partner in the eyes, seeing if his partner is going to give him orders. Sora watched the girl standing there in confusion, not sure what to do with this situation. Sora looks at her intently, seeing what she would do. The starred at the boy for a little bit more, and simply give a small nod. Without her saying anything, Sora knew right away what the nod meant. The girl signalled him on what she wants him to do.
She made up her mind, and wants to save the boy.
Sora gave a small bow, and soon started to run towards the boy and started to easily fight off the small wolves, ripping them apart. Giving the girl the chance to go and save the boy, before it's too late.
While the Sora distracts the hungry wolves, the female child started to hurriedly run towards the boy in pure worry, wanting and hoping the boy is still alive. Also along the way, regrets not stepping in on time, due to her confusion.
Slowly lifting the boy up from the ground, she placed his head on her lap and started to check his pulse. Once she felt the pulse, it still beats but only so little. She started to gently shake the boy awake. "Come on, Wake up!" She started, "Please...stay with me..."
The child felt his pulse started to fade, and soon tears started to appear in her eyes, she started to wake him up again, not wanting him to fall into the death realm. She doesn't want his soul to be lost like this. "Please..."
The child felt a soft and furry texture on the top of her head, only to see Sora starring right at the boy. He closed his eyes and stood beside him and started to sniff him. Seeing if life still lingers in this boy. Sora soon opened his eyes looking over at the child and nodded his head.
Wit pure happiness lifted up in the child's spirits, the child wasted no time and lifted the boy up, and places him on Sora. Who's kneeling on the ground? The child picked up the boy's sword and held it. Gently as she could she lay on top of Sora and they both started to walk away from the once battlefield and started to walk back to camp.

Snapping my eyes open, I looked down on my body to see my body covered in bandages. I placed my hand over the arrow wound that was on my shoulder is no longer there. It's almost healed but I can still feel the pain. But at least it's gone.
One of the other things I noticed is two things. The first one is the fact that I'm covered in a nice comfortable blanket and a camp fire happening. Along the line I notice three cooked squirrels in front of the fire that seems to be cooking. I have to admit, it smells amazing.
The second thing was...there is an enormous black wolf that's twice my size, under my head that's being used as a head rest for me. Watching me, feeling its eyes starring right in the back of my head watching me. I could feel its stare bore into my mind, making sure I won't become hostility. One wrong move and I'm done for.
"Comfy?" A voice called out, snapping my attention to the voice.
A girl, a girl with jet black hair with a pair of deep, dark, Onyx eyes staring at me intensely as the wolf is. She has tanned skinned and a white cloak to cover her body from her neck until it reaches the tip of her toes. There's a large sword that leaned beside her against the tree. It took on an appearance of an over-size wolf's fang. As a hilt it has a fur like texture giving it off as if it once used to be a wolf. Along with a wolf, there is an emblem of a dove carved onto the blade. Alongside the blade is my blade, leaning against the tree beside hers. Clean and polished, looking as if it's brand new.
"Who're you?" I asked, glaring slightly, "Where am I?"
The girl giggled a bit and tilted her head to the side smiling. "There's no need to feel alarmed, were just in a forest at the moment that's near a town."
"What do you want from me?" I asked, not listening to a single word she said. I kept my guard up towards the girl and not care about the wolf at all. "Why did you save me?"
I watched the girl pouted slightly. She crossed her arms over her chest and puff out her cheeks. By her actions it seems I offended her in some way. Don't know why though. "Do I have to have a reason to save you? I saved you because you were dying! So excuse you for wanting to do so. Plus, I don't want anything from you."
"Nothing at all?" I asked dumbfounded.
"Man, you ask to much questions for your own good." She said sighing, "If anything, all I want is for you to get better."
I couldn't help but too mentally face palmed myself, not believing a single word she's saying. Out of the blue this girl not only saved my life, but already she's showing she cares? It's as if she cares for me!
"Your so annoying..."
"Your so mean!" She exclaimed pouting, "Being mean to your saviour isn't nice you know..."
I glared at the girl, "Yeah well, I never asked for you to save me!"
"Does it look like I care?!" She yelled at me, drawing me back, "You were about to become dinner! I've done something any kind person would've done!"
"But why save me?!" I yelled back, "You should've left me there to die! Yet you didn't!"
"I hate seeing people die..." I heard her say, completely tipping me over the chair, "Especially when you could've saved them..." More tears starting to fall from her eyes, she buried her face into her cloak and started to cry softly. "I'm an idiot in the first place for hesitating…but…" she trailed off. Not wanting to say anymore.
I looked into her onyx eyes and noticed tears starting to swell up in her eyes. Seeing the fact that she was dead serious about all of this. I let out a sigh and looked up at the wolf. Only to see it looking up into the starry night, minding its own business. More so, doesn't want to be a part of it.
I sighed in defeat, "Guts..."
The girl look up from her cloak, showing her face stained with tears in confusion. "W-What was that?"
I looked away from the girl, and scratched the tip of my nose, "Guts...that's my name ok?"
I heard the girl sniffle a bit and stood up from her seat. Few seconds later she made her way beside me, and held out a piece of squirrel that she just cooked in front of my mouth. Her onyx eyes shined brightly as the fire, and gave me a grin.
"Jiyu."
