The Blooming of the Rose

The Blooming of the Rose

The young warrior watched as her mother was decapitated in front of her, the killer chuckled softly over the corpse. In anger and shock, the young warrior wielded her father's blade and dashed forward quickly dispatching the killer. She took one last look back at the dead bodies of her parents and exited her home. Blood had been spilled across the ground. Around the village, screams and weapons clashed were heard from all around. She saw a couple being surrounded by two raiders, she took action by this sight and bolted towards the raiders. She stabbed both through the chest and let the other bleed out. She knew the couple would be killed eventually, but it would torment her for days if she hadn't saved them. The young warrior made her way onto an awning and surveyed the area. She spotted the raider captain and made her way towards him slashing viciously through group after group of his goons. She confronted him, her black cloak covered in blood, both clenching their weapons tightly as both have seen what each were capable of. She took her stance and dashed at him slicing there air where he was, she stumbled and fell, dropping her sword. She looked upward at him as he lifted his axe, readying his strike. Her eyes widened and stared as she felt the fear of dying, then an arrow struck the raider captain in the shoulder causing him to miss his swing, she grabbed her sword and slashed at the captain cutting him across the abdomen. He staggered backwards a few steps and shook it off as if nothing had hurt him. He readied another swing and charged at her while she was trying to recover. This time an arrow didn't come to save her, she was hit on her left arm and eye. She lay there grasping her, then she heard a distant voice, it asked her if she would join them if she had the power to take revenge on the ones who had murdered her family and village. She willingly accepted the offer, not knowing the cost. In a flash of light she stood up and stabbed her sword through the captain's chest. He laughed as the blade was twisted within him, the warrior smashed him to the ground and withdrew her sword. She felt her left eye and arm start to burn as she stared at the captain's corpse. She looked up to see a young male limp out of a demolished building. She rushed over to him and saw that he had gash down his right arm she got a piece of cloth and tried to patch up the wound as best she could. The young male asked what her name was, which took her by surprise, he shyly replied with Karen. The young male introduced himself as Eniz and they rested waited for the capital soldiers to arrive. Eniz saw in awe at what he had witnessed her do the raiders, which made her blush, since it was rare for her to get a complement. Then they heard the sounds of many footsteps marching closer and closer. The soldiers had finally arrived, but no one else had survived.
