Burden

by HGoltara

Two lovers lock themselves in a deadly combat. They know only one can come out alive. But, will they be able to carry the burden of killing her love? This is a drabble on my Point of view of Garen and Katarina's last duel together

It was a mess. Bodies were scattered around the Field. The sound of clashing blades could be heard for miles. But away from the conflict, in a forest, a personal battle was happening.

Garen, the Might of Demacia, and Katarina, the Sinister Blade of Noxus. The two champions from enemy countries, locked in a deathmatch. Katarina with her agility and Garen with his strength. Their mission was to kill one another.

Both hoped to go back home alive, but they knew only one would do so. Locked in a dance of blades, Katarina saw a opening and knocked him down. She was with the upper hand. Driven by the adrenaline rush, she plunged her blade through his chest.

As she did that, the adrenaline wore down, and she realized her mistake. His last words were I love you. And he died. Katarina killed the one who had given her love and a reason to fight. She killed her love. She couldn't bear that. Picking up her blade, she shouted Blood for Noxus before stabbing herself. That was her end, bleeding alongside her forbidden love, waiting for her country to find her body on the ground.
