War of Ages
Chapter 1
"Retreat!" I yelled to my soldiers as I shot up into the sky to see how many of the enemy's soldiers were still alive, and still a threat. "Back to the Palace! Now!"
The troops followed my orders, retreating before any more soldiers were killed, when an all to familar screech peirced the night air.
Nathaniel. No.
I flew back to where the noise came from and landed, a few feet from my younger brother, who had been pierced in the stomach by a Western soldier's knife.
"Ser...Serena." he gasped as I fell to his side, holding him in my arms. "You... must go. There are still Western soldiers... around here." He said, looking straight into my eyes.
"Nathaniel! You are hurt, I'm not leaving you here. I'm not." I said, as tears began to roll down my face.
"It's too late for me, sister, it's too late. I...love...you." He said, closing his eyes.
"No! Nathaniel! Don't die on me! Don't die!" I yelled as his breathing slowed down and eventually stopped. "Please, Nathaniel, don't die, please don't die." I wispered as I took him back in my arms and took off toward the palace, wanting him to open his ocean blue eyes that mirrored my own.
Back at the Northern Palace
I didn't sleep the entire night, but instead stayed by Nathaniel's bedside, tracing his marking that were so like mine, wishing him to wake up.
One more brother to grieve for, one more brother dead. Nathaniel is, was, only 14, and now... he's gone. I wish for this war to end, I need this war to end, and fast. I don't think I can take another person dying. I don't.
