Part 8
Whatever innocence I once had was robbed of me. Every day either brought the same routine or horrors old and new. Despite me being known as the Victory Keeper, our side was losing on many other fronts of the war. Most of the missions I was sent out on I shouldn't have expected to return alive, nor did I deserve to.
As you know, most things come to an end, and that includes wars... It was mid-summer, and the war could pretty much be won or lost by one right or wrong move by the high general. We had made up camp near a forest and I was going to be sent out to locate where the major leaders were among the enemy who weren't far off. I was getting ready when I heard a great disturbance outside my tent. The enemy had planned an attack in the night. They obviously didn't care that there would be high casualties due to the darkness, otherwise they would have waited. I don't recall much from that night beside the horrors that seemed to play on repeat. The battle continued as the light of morning slowly returned. Somehow though I was very exhausted I had only taken a little damage, but most in the camp weren't so fortunate.
A large soldier approached me. I did what I could to keep him at bay, but the odds were set against me from the start. He impaled his sword into me, when I didn't fall he delivered a few more strikes until I was down. Once I was on the ground he continued to the next man still standing, leaving me to parish. He didn't even know he had struck down the Victory Keeper, as if that title meant anything anymore though. To those who found us though I would be just another ninja, another solider, a faceless and nameless loss... As I contemplated my demise in what I believed to be my final moments I saw something white flash on the edge of my vision. I thought surely I was seeing things. I glanced up to see Tear's human form standing over me. Before I realized what was happening she was kneeling by my side.
"I feared this would happen." She said, "however, the Forest Guardian told me there is a way I can save you."

Maybe I'll do something similar in the future.
