I stand on a hill over looking a battle field littered with the bodies of friend and foe alike. I lean on my sword for support, while holding a wound on my side. I look around me, but see no one moving, I call out for my frieds "Daniel, Stef, Angelia, Longleaf..." I call out for my family "Mother, Father, Amy...." I call out for my love "Erin Brook..." but I receive no answer. For what answer do the dead have for the living. I start to look for them, 'Maybe their unconscious.' I think, but as I start to stagger forward I hear a noise, I turn to see what movment on this hallowed field could cause noise. What greets my eyes is my enemy, the wildcat known as CrystalRose carring somthing in it's arms. Quickly I act pushing pain aside I raise my weapon and charge. But as I close the distance, she yells "Stop, I wish no longer for you and I to fight." With that comment I slow to a stop, keeping my sword at the ready, unsure my enemy. "Why this sudden change, cat?" I said. "Because I now know why you fought so hard against me, to keep your lands and way of life." It was then I saw what she had in her arms. It was my love Erin, laying in her arms like a babe with its mother. "She made her way to me in the battle and challenged me out right, how could I refuse a bold, if not foolish request. With one swing of my paw she was flying through the air like a lark at midday. When she landed she immedatly got back up and charged me once more, obviously injured, but she came again, I swong my spear at her gut, she side stepped ,but not far enough and was cut at her side deeply, she still kept coming, thrusting her sword at me inflicting many wounds. when I grabbed her by her throat and lifted her off the ground, I asked her 'Why do you fight me so? Do you fight for his glory or his cuase? Do you not see it is pointless?' do you kow what she replied?" I shock my head, tears of rage and sorrow streaming down my face. "She replied 'I do not fight anyone's glory, nor cause. I fight because I LOVE HIM!!!'. With that she fainted under my paw. In shock that any beast could fight for love so strongly, touched me in a way I have not felt since my mate and I first met, for this reason I have lost all anger toward you and your fiends." With that I fell to my knees and wept openly, for I had lost my family, friends, and I thought my love. CrystalRose knelt before me and placed Erin gently on the ground in front of me saying "Mourn not she still lives." With hope in my eye I looked up to thank the wildcat, but she was no longer kneeling in front of me, but taking her journey to the dark forest, with a smile of contentment across her face. With that I turned back to my love to she waking. "Oh Wraithe I thought I'd lost you." all I could do was cry. And with that a new summers day dawned over the valley, with my love resting in my arms.
