The pain, it was all too much, and in fact, I wanted to lay down and accept defeat, but I knew I couldn't. I had to last through the battle. My people were counting on me to lead them to glory. How could I disappoint them? "DIE YOU CUR!" The foul words left my lips as I launched into the air, my scarlet red hair flying in the wind as my sword swung down with grace and precision. Time seemed to slow around me as I leapt for warrior after warrior, cutting them down as my army's victory cries could be heard behind me. There were cuts and gashes along my body yet every time my feet connected with the ruined earth below me, my energy soared into the heavens and I kept going. I kept pushing on through the enemy warriors, my entire form gleaming from the sunlight hitting the blood coating my weapon and shield. It was my victory today and I could feel it. I cut through body after body, deflecting arrows left and right, slamming men with my shield and knocking them back only to kill them moments after. The adrenaline pulsed through me when I saw their leader, and I made a beeline for him, the enemy now trying their damnedest the cut me down to no avail. I leapt into the air again, coming down hard on the man that dared to send his army into MY territory. I was about to sink my already blood-coated blade into his back when- BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BE- Thunk! My hand came down hard on the alarm clock, making me groan. "Five more minutes." I begged to no one and was just getting comfortable when my little sister and brother barged into my room screaming happily. "Wake up wake up wake up!" The twins chanted in unison, "It's time to go to the zoo!" Again they spoke in unison, the two of them bouncing on top of me, making me grunt as I opened my eyes.
