The air is heavy with ash, the breeze carries the stench of fire and death. There in the middle is a meadow..... or what is left of one, where there was lush green grass, now burned black dirt stained with the blood of the dead that litter the ground, its a battle field, the atmosphere is heavy with sadness, anger and suffering, The field is quiet with the occasional groan and cry of pain from the survivors dying in a pool of their own blood and comrades blood.
???:" please help m-" Bang
???:" End t-the p-p-pai-" BANG
...Its the sound of mercy, pitty and sadness condensed into a loud short burst
Grimm wander the field eating the dead or killing the other survivors
BANG BANG BANG BANG
???: " 59, 60,61,62..... there are more but I have no more ammo, at least there are the Grimm"
the man walks around looking for a place to sit and rest. there is a rock in the center of the field.... in a clearings, some bodies there but not a lot, he sits down and begins to relax and let his guard down.....
??? POV
Nothing im not used to seeing, but it is always a displeasure for me to experience it
"at least the Grimm are leaving now, always wondered why they always ignore me.... oh well"
there is a faint sound of engines
"now this should be interesting, dont you think" I say to the corpse next to me as i go and continue to sit on the rock and wait for the new arrivals to come and witness what has transpired in the field
Ozma POV (i know thats his first name but hes genderbent and i cant think of other names RN)
I got word from Qrow that there was a recent battle.... a big one..... and I wanted to go and investigate the after math, but with their aura there shouldn't be alot of dead;
"Glynda are you okay, something seems to be bothering you" I look over to the blonde women next to me
Glynda: " im sorry ma'am I never really liked seeing war "
"dont worry there should not be a lot of dead so, I hope this puts you at ease a little " I retort back at her
Glynda: " yes i guess it does make it better " the bull head lands but the pilot face goes pale, I hear the door open
Glynda: " come lets go see wh-!" she looks in front of us and i look too, and I instantly empty out my stomach at the sight
There were hundreds of thousands... dead... the ground now turned to mud from the amount of blood that soaks it
Glynda: " W-w-what h-happened !?!"
ME: " i-i dont know, but we need to check for survivors " we continue on the battle field and the longer we stay the more our hope of finding survivors..... a survivor continues to shrink, bodies, dismembered beyond comprehension, arms, legs organs sprawled all over the ground, bodies that have been burned to a crisp, there is no hope of identifying them, even the orthodontist would not have enough evidence for dental records, Bodies that have been eaten, either grim crows pecking away at decomposing bodies, or corpses that show signs of Grimm feasting upon them . Men who dies still holding their weapons, some who tries to run, some who wanted to hide......
Glynda: 'crying' "ARE THERE NO SURVIVORS!!" she is in distress
ME: 'grimly' "its dosent apear that there i-" BANG
it was so sudden that it alarmed me and Glynda
Glynda:'alert, scared' " what was that?"
ME: " I dont know "
???: "NoNoNoNoono please do-!" BANG BANG
we rush over to the origin of the sound and what ME and Glynda saw will haunt me for the rest of my time here
it was a sea of bodies, and among the sea of death and sorrow stood a lone figure
???:'to far to hear what he says'
ME and Glynda slowly make our way over to the figure only to realize that it was a young boy, in his hand there was a small handgun, smoking and at his feet a corpse of the one I am assuming he just killed
???: " let your suffering end and may your soul rest in peace knowing that the nightmares are done and over with..... may every gun shot be a warning for the powers above to be ready to receive another soul "
??? POV
I showed mercy to another ONE
???: " who are you ?"
I turn my head to see two women standing there, they wore what looked like expensive clothing , now ruined with the dirt and blood of the battle field in which they walk upon
???:" did you kill everyone here ?!" shouted the other women, she was blonde and had a big bust, but that does not matter to me at the moment
me: " I showed mercy to the ones that asked,deserved and needed it "
she is shocked by my answer
???: " what is your name ?" the gray haired one says to me, she is cursed as I am
me: " Y/n....."
???: " what happened here ? why is there so many dead ?" the blonde asks me
me: " it was a battle fought for a reason I no longer remember , I am the only survivor out of the millions that fought" their faces pale at the mention of the word 'Millions'
???: "M-Millions, then that means th-"
me: "The ocean of the dead you stand upon is deeper that you think"
I sit on my rock again and wait for more questions from the two women
???: " my name is Ozma and her name is Glynda and we have come because we were tipped off that there was a battle recently but we did not expect-"
me:" so much dead? "
Ozma:" yes that....... I am surprised that the Grimm have not killed you"
me:" they dont bother me, never knew why but I am not one to complain" I sigh as I look up at the rain clouds
Glynda:" do you have a place to go ?"
me:" no, I go where I please "
Ozma:" why not come with us, I am sure that we can find you a place to stay"
me:" come here both of you" they were confused but hesitantly walked to me, I placed my hand onto their heads and transfer my memories of the battle along with the emotions I felt to them, more like I copied and shared it with them..... They fell to their knees , Glynda threw up and Ozma began to weep
me:" now you feel what I felt and know what I have experienced" they both get up and rush me to their bullhead were they hug me
Ozma: 'still sobbing' " I cannot and refuse to think about what that must have felt like for you... seeing all of those men die in front of your eyes"
Glynda dosent talk but rubs my back in a weak attempt to make me feel better
me:" such is the way of life on the field of battle " They both fall asleep as Stay awake watching the sun shine onto the battle filed, I put my head back and my eyes feel heavy.... I slowly let the cold comforting grasp of sleep take me but say a poem before I fall asleep
'sounds can be the best way to understand events, they can be filled with love joy and comfort.... or they can be filled with HATE, SADNESS, and MERCY...... I have only known one my entire life"
