Title: Battlefield Blues

Summary: Seto survives another battle, and ends up in a conversation with a certain Valkyrie.

AU: Basically Warrior!Seto and Valkyrie!Siegfried, though being a Valkyrie technically makes Siegfried female as well.

Challenge: Write a drabble using only dialogue.

Notes: None


"Congratulations. You are allowed to fight another day, brave warrior."

"Hmph."

"What's wrong? Not pleased that you're blessed to walk on earthly soil another day?"

"No, I'm displeased because you're here again."

"Oh Son of Gozaburo, you shouldn't be picky when it comes to who decides whether you live or die, not many are as merciful as I am, you know."

"There are also few that are as annoying as you, Valkyrie."

"Oh how you wound me… Dear Warrior."

"Hmph shut up and leave, your hair's hurting my eyes."

"Well it's better to be a Shining jewel than to be a dull pebble."

"Well I'd rather not have my head be a target for an incoming arrow."

"You might want to watch what you say, your sharp tongue may lead you and others to your doom, dear warrior, as one slip of that tongue of yours could get you killed when it comes to creatures who are more powerful than you are"

"If I've never seen it than will never believe until I do and from those creatures I have seen, none of them are stronger than me."

"Tch... It won't be like that forever you know… One day you shall fall from your pedestal, and then you will spend the rest of your mortal life trying to climb back to the top… Perhaps I should have let you die… It would save you the trouble of having to watch everything you worked so hard on fall apart around you…."

"…."

"As lovely as this talk has been, I must now take my leave. Remember dear warrior, that one day you will fall from your pedestal, but it is your decision, and yours alone, that will cause you to continuously try to reclaim what you have lost and will eventually cause everything to fall apart. Remember this. My dear warrior."
