The smell of blood and smoke. The deafening sound of colliding swords.
Swords dancing in the hands of the men who were surrounded by burning walls.
She was in the middle of a tragedy.
How did she even end up in here?
She had no answer.
There was just a tall man in her sight covered in an armor as black as his hair. He was holding a long sword in his left hand but the true color of his blade was hidden from the blood that was dripping down at its edge and marking the way he walked.
The way towards her.
It was a little bit too late when she noticed it though, the man was already standing in front of her.
Her mind was dizzy and her body completely paralyzed. She couldn't move, she couldn't even
scream. It felt like someone had removed her pipes to prevent her from doing so.
There was no escape
„Finally," he groaned, „I've found you."
He stood right in front of her, looking down at her small body.
Slowly he bend down and reached his free hand out to grab her.
„AHHH!"
A cool chill shot trough her whole body and she breathed heavily until she realized that the shrill voice that had echoed in her surroundings was her own. Her hand found its way up to her throat and she touched it slightly. She made weird sounds with her mouth until she was sure that her pipes were in their usual place. She must've had a nightmare but she still could smell the smoke on her whole body.
„But how?," she whispered to herself. There was still no answer. Her mind wasn't working after all. She felt somehow empty and overwhelmed at the same time, like she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders without knowing where that feeling came from.
She looked around herself just to find that there was nothing but darkness. Somehow she ended up in a forrest without knowing it. Without knowing anything. Sitting there for a while she tried to remember something, it wasn't even about the way how she got into this situation. It was about the commonly things like her name.
What was her name? Or what did she look like?
Instinctively she grabbed her hair to get a glimpse of it. She let her finger glide through it until it reached the end that was at her waist. Her fingers played with the tip of her hair until her eyes widened at the sight of the color. It was black like the mans hair she saw in her nightmare. Thinking that it could be a misunderstanding because of the darkness she stood up and started to walk on a random road nearby. Her body moved on its own, she didn't even know where to go.During her walk she checked her outfit out; she was wearing a tight fitting and yet suprisingly comfortable bodysuit which was matching her dark hair. Wondering what her face looked like she observed the road more accurately to find a mirror or people or a town or anything that could help her out.
The trees on both sides of her looked all the same and after a long while she thought she wasn't getting any further on the path she took. What if the end of it was unreachable for her? Panic overcame her body. She started running as if the man in her nightmare was chasing her.
And she ran.
And she ran.
And nothing much changed.
Out ouf breath she sat down and pulled her knees to her chest. With a loud cry she began to shed all the tears that were stuck inside her tiny body. It was dark. It was cold. It was scary. God, she felt so damn lonely.
