My ears were ringing as I laid flat on my back. I coughed and slowly picked myself up. The castle was on fire, no one was there to aid me. The walls were blasted open. My villagers either perished by the sword or the flames. Those that stayed to fight have been defeated. The bodies of soldiers were everywhere. I was surrounded by those I called allies once, some friends. We fought side by side and enjoyed each other's company. The betrayal is fresh in my mind. A tear escaped my left eye. I coughed blood. Six armed figures around me, like I was the prey they have always wanted to catch. I stood in the center with my sword still raised, unable to move. I looked at all their faces. Those smiles, they look the same, only this time it was because of my demise. "Were they always like this and I failed to see it. Anyway, this was the only way for the rest to see their true colors. Soon the rest will arrive, soon they will see for themselves," I said to myself. I looked at my feet, my men surrounded me to protect me. Are they still alive? I asked myself. Then each one of my enemies began to charge, striking me. I was already so weak from defending. Then the one with the most menacing look in their eyes charged to give me a final blow, in that moment I said "Erza, be my shield." Erza appeared before our eyes and landed in front of me making a thundering noise as her body made contact with the ground. Ezra released a glowing forcefield around her. A thin white line could be seen at an angle. The enemy swung his sword down and upon impact it caused a lightning reaction. He was blown back. Eden's vision was blurry as he saw the man blown back meters away and hitting a wall while coughing blood. Then the rest of the enemies rushed to attack in unison. They were all blasted, as voices screamed in despair "Eden!" The enemy looked over in the direction of the voices and rushed out of the castle territory. I fell to my knees and landed on my back. "They actually attacked me as I predicted, for once I hoped I was wrong," I said as another tear fell out of my eye. I told myself it wouldn't bother me, so why am I crying. More figures appeared surrounding me, but their faces were blurry. "Traitors! You are all traitors!" I heard Ms. Peach screamed as she got closer. "I'll be fine, peach" I said as I fell unconscious.
