Worthless Chris Howard 12/02/12

"Forget it Slyand, you're worthless. You couldn't protect them and now they are dead! DEAD!" It echoed through my mind a million times, tearing me apart on the inside. Did my failure lead them to death? The dark green of the forest illuminated from the surrounding trees as I stared at the graves that lay before me, taunting me, teasing me. Lucky bastards. They had what I've always wanted. I quivered in my plate armour and I pulled down the scarf I was wearing. If I could change one -
"You can't change anything now. The past has been and gone and you failed them all. You had the opportunity to save them all - Your family, your friends!"
"That's not true, I couldn't have done anything. It was just all so...fast..."
"Just fast? Years and years of training just to say it went too FAST?! You're pathetic Slyand, worthless..."
The last words gutted me. It felt like a deathly cold blade has slowly sunk its way through my heart and out the other side. I turned to heave myself onto my Deathcharger, daring not to argue with my own conscience...

I was worthless...
