Chapter II – Dark Grey Skies
She loved the rain…
How she loved the rain…
The skies were crying hard as a sign of clear sadness for the blood spilled on earth.
Her movements were fluid. Everyone slowed down around her because of the heavy rain and because of the amazing creature that kept moving like a butterfly despite of the rain.
Her movements were still so graceful…
A lightning nearby…
Steel against flesh…
A ripping sound…
Something heavy rolled on the bloody floor…
Something heavy like…
Like…
A humam head… A man's head…
The creature stood still as she took in the sight of the headless body falling.
Her dark eyes swept across the battlefield in silence.
"What a waste…"
She silently whispered as she turned her eyes towards the angry skies allowing the rain to wash her bloody face.
This image whispered every surviving man on that battlefield.
An angel someone whispered…
A dark angel others murmured…
Suddenly the creature kneeled quietly near the beheaded head and her eyes focused on the widely open eyes of her victim.
"What is she doing?" Came the quiet question from a young captain's lips.
"The last words." The old Colonel whispered.
"What…? Is she praying…?"
"Don't we all pray, lad?"
"Yes but I… thought that people like her had no God… they believe in nothing…"
"They have no God but they believe that a man is defined by his actions and consequently there is a place reserved to him after this life."
"So…"
"Spear it lad, you would never understand. Gather the troops Captain Akira, our work here is done."
"And her?" The young captain's gestured towards the woman who was still kneeled.
"Give her a few minutes."
Her hand rose to touch his forehead.
"You were an honourable soldier. Be proud." The woman quietly whispered as her bloody hand moved to close his eyes. "We shall meet again." Her voice was heard again right before she got up.
She welcomed the sound of approaching steps. It made her remember that she wasn't the only one alive.
"Colonel Gensai." The woman acknowledged knowing hell his heavy steps.
"Raven…"
"I'm fine Colonel Gensai… I'm fine…"
"I wish your words true…"
Her eyes turned to dark skies once more.
The skies were still crying…
