She-Knight
#100StoryChallenge — No83
Halina stumbled through the remnants of the battlefield and searched for survivors.
She yelled out for her comrades — other knights who had risked their lives to fight the false king. No one yelled back, not a soul.
She staggered onward, calling for some answer that she soon realized would never come.
Finally, she fell to her knees and brought her hand to the hole in her armor. Her palm came away stained with red.
Useless tears burned her eyes as she tried to accept her time too had come to an end.
The god of death — would he be kind?
