I pierced the enemy. The most vital organ in their body stopped and they fell silently. With irises that started to look like an emperor angelfish, I became non-existent to the world.
They all fell one by one onto the ice cold floor. Many lives have been lost but the one I care most for is about to meet the same fate. I selfishly commit murder as I call out to that life.
The distance between us stretched and the world around me crumbled. Despite the freezing atmosphere my body was set ablaze. It was pointless for the murderer to escape. No, there was no escaping death.
My body that was set ablaze froze. I challenged the surrounding temperature as I absorbed the situation once more.
A lifeless corpse that overshadowed the others.
A small pain shot through my knees and dirt jammed into my fingernails. My body quivered as the snow began to fall and dissolve into water.
We had escaped a life filled with seeds, hoes, straw hats and dirt and I remember the words told to me.
"We'll be ninja!"
