Blood of the Chosen

I was bleeding, injured, tired, panting and exhausted.

I was left with just one of the beasts, it was on the floor, unmoving , multiple ice arrows pierced its body. Like me, it was equally exhausted, in pain.

I had done it, I had successfully exterminated the monsters. I had saved lives, I had not run away, I had done a selfless thing. The battle was over and I had come out victorious. As much as I wanted to scream in victory, I could not, not when my body was screaming with exhaustion.

The monsters might not have gone far into the village but they had gone deep enough. I could not bring back the lives lost but I had prevented anyone else from losing their lives unjustly.

Victory
