Shattered Resolve

I fell to the ground, using my sword to support me. It was over, I don't know if I could have handled that any longer. Not because my body couldn't take anymore, after all, I had just been healed. Mentally, I was exhausted, Moon's death and my failure from earlier... it had been too much.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and smiled. Looking at the people around me. Their cries of happiness made me... happy? How they hugged each other with such joy, how their tears flowed down their faces. It had been a while since I was last happy for someone.

But I understand them, I mean, from what they know, no one had fallen in this battle. Of course, that wasn't the truth.

"Hey! What was that cool attack from earlier." One man from the crowd approached me. Adjusting his glasses, he got up in my face. "You must be interested in skills..." I said awkwardly.
