I fell to the ground crying my eyes out. I felt a strong hand on my shoulder.
"Anora where is North?", he asked me softly.
I got up shaking and said, " I had to kill him. He told me too".
"It's okay", he said sadly.
I put my head on his chest for some unknown reason. I need North now but he's gone. Because of me! The cold wind blew past me and Ren.
"I know when your birthday is", Ren said putting his hand on my head.
" When?"I asked through my tears.
"Today April 21", he said in a soft voice.
" Why?", I asked looking up at him.
"I don't know just feels like this is your day", he smiled.
" We should tell capital about this", I said changing the conversation.
"Oh yeah! I'll ask Sister Genesis to write a letter", he said.
I walked over to North's body. I stood over this time not crying. I did what he asked. But I will always feel bad. He believed in me so much. He helped me with everything I asked. I should have been grateful for his help instead of not wanting it. Even though he is dead I am still gonna try and have a higher position than him. I don't care if they think I have to much pride I will do whatever I can to be successful even if they don't like it. Suddenly I heard horses coming in. The king was on one!
He came up to us and said, "did you kill him Ren?"
"Of course I didn't. It was Anora!", he laughed.
"I was hoping you did", he sighed.
" I can kill you too king", I said rolling my eyes.
"Where is North?", he asked Ren
" Dead", Ren said silent.
Widow jumped into my arms in his cat form.
"I'm so proud of you Widow", I said kissing him on his head.
Re came up to me.
" The battle is not over now. We still have to deal with demons", Ren said petting Widow.
"Well I guess we have a long ride ahead of us", I laughed.
" The princess is here if you wanted to see her", Ren said as me and Widow ran off together to find her.
She was helping some children get on horses so they could go to safety.
"Your covered in blood Anora!", she screamed.
"Just like always", I smiled.
" I have been inspired my you lately and I want to be just like you", she said shyly.
"Well you can't ever be me but you can take what I do and learn from it", I said and she just nodded.
"Aren't you scared of dying?", she asked me.
" Before the battle yes but during no. I just think about my goal.", I told her, "I will die with much pride".
" You sure do have a lot of pride don't you?", she laughed.
"Yes I'm not sure what it is. I just know I am good at fighting", I said looking into the town.
" You know that's a deadly sin right?", she asked me.
"Of course! I might be the holy child but I'm am only protected by demons. But my pride will kill me.", I said.
" Well you'll probably get married and have a child before you die", she said.
"Huh? I don't want to get married or have kids", I said feeling embarrassed.
" That's not what someone else thinks going to happen", she giggled walking away.
"Wait! Who!", I said running after her, " I am a strong independent woman you don't need no man!"
