The Knight in Shining Armor

Prompt : Make a story with the same sentence at the beginning and the end.

The blaze of the uproar fire, sent horrors into my soul. My mother is gone.

They came for us that night.

My sister and I were sent to the silent house full of others like us. We were scared and hopeless.

Our mother's last words were, "Protect each other." My last memory of her.

I sore on her words to protect Mellow, my little sister, with every breath in my body; with every wills I give; with the dagger of our father.

To this day, I did.

.

But at what cost?

➢➢➢

The Day They Came.

➢➢➢

Why was it always us?

Since that day, evil fortunes have been bestowed upon us.

I was the first to those fortunes.

.

Those flames that took our mother haunted me. The people who took her from us, took me from you. Oh, how your face broke my heart to see you that way. I had no choice. It was joining them, or joining our mother.

They took me to the doors of training "angels".

Side by side, we trained to the day we are needed in the cries of bloodshed.

➢➢➢

Bloodshed between Monsters.

➢➢➢

King of Blood wants. He wants the places of the land that he has no need of.

No place is safe with him. All those who live, will die.

.

Those of the lands will bring bloodshed to the king's "angels". Drop by drop. One by one. All have fallen yet the king sends more and more. His kingdom will drop just like his little "angels".

.

I was one of those.

Day by day, I watched as friends and people whom I have met fall to arrows and swords.

The monsters that we fight may not be the only monsters we see and trust.

We're fighting side by side with them, everyday. We may not know it but it is true.

.

The day I left to fight with "angels" of blood, is the day I left you and the last day of my youth.

We traveled far to the place of the fallen and of the cries.

I didn't know how long we were meant to stay in the land.

Days on end, the bloodshed seemed to never end.

I lost myself to the blood and the cries.

When they stopped coming to the blades, we were unsure of this. They were the monsters and, we, the peace keepers. Or so we thought.

.

We were there to ravage the land for the king of blood.

.

We left days after they stopped.
