PROLOGUE:
The moment their eyes met, they knew it was the end.
It was something they knew would eventually happen for months now; the signs were there, tension between their countries had been escalating quickly to a point of no return, but neither of them wanted to really acknowledge it.
Once upon a time, they agreed that, if this point were ever reached, there would not be tears, nor bittersweet farewells, they would just nod in acceptance and ready their stances.
And so, they were now in opposite sides of a battle neither of them wanted to fight.
She stood proud beside her princess, her sword unsheathed and waiting for instructions.
He was in a similar place on the other side of the battlefield, concurring with his prince and the other generals of the army, probably deciding what would be the best course of action.
And then… the first arrow was shot.
Nobody was sure who shot it, but everybody saw how it hit a minor general on the Lunar Army and the outrage that it caused among the Lunar Army lines.
From then, everything was chaos.
Blood ran freely on the battlefield, the sound of swords clashing and bodies hitting each other was only dwarfed by the battle cries that could be heard all along the place.
She fought fiercely, aiming to get as much ground as possible, but also trying to hurt more than to kill her opponents, a mercy that was not always returned by the enemy.
Unexpectedly, she lost her balance, as she tripped over the mutilated body of a soldier, making her lose her sword. Glancing up, she noticed she was at the mercy of a faceless enemy - one that seemed intent on finishing her as fast as possible.
She managed to dodge a couple of hits, but the same dead body interfered with her daring escape. Everything seemed lost now, and even if she did not wanted to, she knew she was about to die…
Only for a body to suddenly cover her, taking the majority of the attack onto him… even if it still graced her back, and punctured her lung.
The other person was dead instantly.
Her eyes widened and filled with tears when she realized that it was her beloved who had "saved" her.
She swallowed her tears, she promised him as much. She knew she would die soon too, but that did not mean she was going down without a fight.
She killed her opponent, just in time for her to fall to her knees beside her beloved.
What was supposed to be a short silly fic turned out a monster of more than 20k words.
