The night had been beautiful. Darkness curling at the fringes of the wood, moon bright in the sky. The grass had been wet with dew, trees silent in the absence of any breeze.
Now the darkness is distorted, shattered by the flares, the burning beacons on the high castle walls. The grass is wet with the blood of the fallen and the trees scream in protest as spells tear through their branches.
She had held his hand, coaxingly pulling him away from the castle…away from his obligations, his duty. He had followed and laughed as she skipped under the light of the moon.
Now his hand clutches hers, desperately dragging her away from the castle…away from the horror and the pain. She follows blindly and sobs at the corpses that litter their path.
They had strolled by the lake, the deceptive water merging their reflections into one. She had smiled and hugged him closer, he had whispered in her ear.
Now they run, the lake a pool of writhing lava by their side. She gasps and stumbles as the spell hits her from behind, he shouts her name.
They had sat; content to simply be in the others company. The moon shone on and the water replayed it all. They had kissed and held each other and she fell asleep in his arms.
Now they sit, her only wish to never leave him. The fire spreads, trees ablaze as the battle rages on. She bleeds in silence and his tears make no sound. He kisses her and she clings to him… Darkness settles and she falls asleep in his arms.
