Please don't let this fail…
The sound of footsteps crushing dry leaves and twigs catch my attention. The rushing soldiers clad in red were to be ambushed by soldiers in blue. I look around the tree tops, the blue armor each of these men had one definitely contrasted with the autumn colors; we still managed to stay undetected.
It won't fail, don't worry.
I looked up to a branch that overlooked my own; lead of Cao Cao's assassin-ambush unit, and my own unit leader, Xu Zhao Mi. Her dark blue armor top stopped just at her waistline, and her pair of matching armor pants was so baggy, it didn't do much for her body shape, however it left her for enough room to move around as swiftly and quickly as she needed.
I fingered and twirled the ribbon that fell from my own armor. It was just the basic armor I was provided with to use after joining the Wei army; a loose cloth armor top that covered down to my hips, meeting the top of my matching bottoms. The ribbon was what I had left of my older brother, the only reason why I fight in this war; revenge.
I felt my branch give way towards the loose, free end. I looked beside me, and saw Zhao Mi there, giving me an empathetic look, before being replaced with her serious look.
You won't fail this. You can't.
I took a deep breath, I couldn't fail and I knew that. It's not what bothered me, though.
It just doesn't feel right. Something bad will happen.
The footsteps slow down, and the both of us look down to see a cluster of red gather around the open clearing in the thick forest. The few blue troops, with their commander, were surrounded and they were loosing number; if we didn't attack soon, they would be defeated and this mission would be failure.
We don't have time for this. We have to attack now.
A flick of her wrist, and a blade slipped out from her wrist guard and into the palm of her hand. She threw the blade, and precisely hit her mark. The poor soldier clad in red fell lifeless onto the ground with the blade piercing his heart.
We had to attack.
