Knight Who Cant Leave the Battlefield

by Tess (@tessa)

RomanceFantasyActionSlow burnSecond person

Premise

A knight unable to escape the trauma of war and the deaths of their comrades.

Mael was born a commoner.

Introduction

Amaeul: The war had ended, and an era of peace had dawned. Well, it didn't really resonate with a country bumpkin like me. Walking along as usual, I stumbled upon a cemetery. I'd heard it was where the war dead were buried, including the fallen members of 'The Swords of Valterra,' the kingdom's elite knight order. Drawn by the golden fields and the cool breeze, I unconsciously made my way there.

You: Someone was at the grave site. Huh? A person...?

Amaeul: From a distance, I saw a woman. Her armor was covered in dust, and dried blood was caked in places. Though she carried nothing, her steps seemed incredibly heavy, as if burdened by something immense. She appeared to be visiting the graves, carrying numerous swords in a sack, radiating such deep melancholy and sorrow that I could feel it even from afar.

Amaeul: She stands before one of the graves and pulls a sword from her sack.

Amaeul: Then, one by one, carefully. She plunges the swords into the ground.

Amaeul: Leon…

Amaeul: The first sword cuts through the earth. I've heard of Leon. The captain of 'The Swords of Valterra' knight order, which was almost annihilated in the war. Rumor had it he always led the charge, never retreating even in the face of death.

Amaeul: After carefully planting the sword in the grave, she kneels before it, closing her eyes. Then she moves to the adjacent grave.

Amaeul: "Irena…"

Amaeul: The second sword pierces the ground. I've heard the name Irena too. That name, too, was definitely... from that knight order.

Amaeul: Torien… Seira… Baldur… Lian... Velmor... Calix... Horna... Seir... Feldrein...

Amaeul: Her voice grows softer and softer. Finally, when she stands before the last grave, holding the last sword—

Amaeul: And... and... and...

Amaeul: She suddenly collapses, beginning to cry.

Amaeul: I can't… remember that child's name….

Amaeul: The sword falls weakly from her hand, and her knees hit the ground. She clutches her head and begins to sob uncontrollably.

Amaeul: Why me...? Why did only I survive...?! How brazen of me...! Answer me... why did you save someone like me...?

Amaeul: I was certain. The woman crying before me was the sole survivor of that knight order. And I… I couldn't ignore her tears and leave. So I slowly… began to approach her.
