The Emperor looked at Boscha.

"They failed to take BonesBorough. It's only a matter of time before they come and attempt to take the castle." Belos said, "I need you to stop them."

Boscha smiled. She knew exactly what to do.

"Yes, My Liege."

"Leave. Go plan a way to capture them." He said.

Boscha left and smiled. She was going to end this war. Luz walked into the medical tent and looked at the injured.

"Kat, who has it the worst?" Luz said.

"From what I've seen, I'd say Amelia." Kat said.

Luz nearly flinched. Amelia was one of her best Rebels, she's a Rogue. Her being injured was a massive blow.

"Take me to her." Luz said.

Kat brought Luz over to Amelia. The former Plant Track student looked like she was in immense pain. Her uniform was off and replaced by a Healer Gown. Luz looked closer and saw several large blood stains.

"She was hit with almost eight arrows. Combine that with a broken arm and crushed leg, which we may have to amputate, and the fact that she almost bled out, she clearly won't be returning to the field anytime soon."

"Is there anything else?" Luz asked, clearly worried.

"At the moment, that's all we know. It wouldn't surprise me if she has a few broken ribs, internal bleeding, or even a pneumothorax." Kat said.

Kat left and Luz walked over to her and sat next to her cot. Amelia looked at her.

"I-I'm sorry. I failed today." Amelia said.

"No, don't say that. You didn't fail." Luz said.

"I... I am going to make it, right?"

Luz saw the look of fear in Amelia's eyes.

"I... I promise, you're going to make it."

Luz had the upmost confidence in her Healer's. Amelia will survive... she has to.

"Just rest, you've done enough for today." Luz said.

Luz walked out and walked over to Willow.

"What's our next step, Luz?" Willow asked.

"Our next step... is to end this war."

"You mean-"

"Yes, we're going to take the Emperor's Castle." Luz said.

"Luz, that's suicide."

"I'm done playing his fucking game. We're ending this war."

Luz walked into Hexside and sat at her desk. Luz can't help but feel responsible for Amelia.

"Hey, you okay?"

Luz looked up and saw Amity.

"No, Amelia got hurt... badly. It's all my fault."

"Luz, how could you be responsible for that?"

"Because, she fought for my army. I'm a bad leader."

"Luz, she fought for you of her own accord. She knows the risk, we all do. We aren't fighting for you, we're fighting with you." Amity said, "I think I know how to cheer you up."

Amity took of her shirt and locked the door. She sat on the desk and pressed her lips against Luz's. Luz ran a hand through Amity's hair and the two moved to the floor, not caring about Luz's injury. When Amity says she knows how to cheer Luz up, she means it.

I feel so bad for doing that to Amelia, she's my favorite background character, so hurting her feels wrong. Follow, Favorite, and Review for more.
