Short Story
(Wrote this a few years back. Recently edited it.)

It was a grey, saddening day. Tears cried by the very gods themselves rained down upon the battlefield. A lone knight sat against a tree over looking the red stained field below. With a warm stream of blood coursing down the knight's face, he looked up at the darkened sky. A pale figure walked from its hiding spot behind the tree and looked down at the knight. The figure's eyes became misty and turned to look at the pain filled land. The knight sighed at the figure and opened his mouth to apologize for his ill deeds. Before he could speak the figure had slid beside him and softly pressed a finger to his lips to silence him. Through its tears, the figure smiled down at him. The knight gave a light smile as the figure helped him into a more relaxing position. As he looked straight up through the branches of the tree, the deity caressed his face and slid her hand over his forehead. Closing his eyes the she placed a gentle kiss upon his lip. The figure rested her head on the knight's chest and shed tears for the fading hero. As the tears trickled down the chest piece, he raised his hand and pointed towards the heavens. A swift wind caught the knight's last breath as the glowing figure faded away.
