Charge of a Million

My Last Breath

I pulled my sword from the lifeless body of a dead Gryphon. Despite all odds, we won, I held my hand to my stomach and looked around.

Nothing left but corpses,armour and weapons. I looked up at the sky, raining, still. 5 endless days of fighting under rain, it was a bloody battle, no-one lived.

I say no-one for a reason as I looked down at my hand, blood was spilling between my fingers, I had been hit, once, Gryphon sword straight through my abdomen, not gonna last long I guess. I coughed as I fell to my knees unable to support myself.

So this was what its like to die, just getting tired? I chuckled at that, thought it would be worse.

At this point I was just laying down it hurt to move and made me more tired. May as well just wait it out, it'll come eventually, any time now...

any time now...

It was beginning to blacken around the edges of my vision. And for once, I actually wanted to die, just get it over with, fall asleep.

I'd been able to help Equestria, save it from destruction, give foals around this god damned planet a life instead of slavery.

Good enough. "So what now?" I asked myself, my voice was raspy as I just stared upwards feeling the rain hit my face.

"Game over?" I chuckled again on that, I always knew it would end, everything does, just didn't think it would be like this. Or at least not this peaceful, nothing moved around me, or at all apart from the rain or my chest when I took a breath.

I sighed and closed my eyes, slowly feeling everything fade away.

Like water rushing over me.
