As the generals of the green griffin knight died, they dropped their weapon and surrendered, some tried running away but the archer took them out, Amidst the aftermath of the devastating war, the once-bloodied battlefield lay silent, now layered with multiple dead knights from both the green griffin and blue eagle sides. The earth was scarred and the trees destroyed, and the air carried the heavy scent of blood and death. Surviving knights and their allies gathered in a somber circle amidst the ruins, their armor bearing the marks of the fierce combat they had endured.
Chase scanning all the knights, now visibly saddened by the loss of many knights, took a deep breath, trying to gather his emotions as he addressed his remaining fellow knights, his voice tinged with sorrow, "Brothers and sisters, we have suffered great losses, but we are still standing, and that gives us hope. Today, we begin the process of rebuilding and tending to those wounded in battle."
Ava, her armor covered in blood, noticed the sadness and fear among the knights. She approached Chase with a gentle hand holding his hand, she whispered her voice compassionate, "What should we do about the bodies of our fallen comrades?"
"I don't" Chase shrugged his shoulder, and he replied with a heavy heart, "Freya might have sent some carts so we can return and give them proper burials."
As the knights began organizing their tasks, some cast glances toward the fallen comrades on the battlefield, feeling a mix of grief and guilt. Among them was Galad, a young knight who had lost friends under his command. Ava approached him, offering reassurance, "It was not your fault, Galad. We all fought valiantly, but war is cruel. We must find strength in unity and support each other through these difficult times."
Galad nodded, appreciating the comfort, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he could have done more to protect his comrades. As he walked away, his thoughts turned to the fallen, and he resolved to honor their memories.
The knights worked diligently, gathering the weapons and tending to the wounded, but the question of what to do with their fallen comrades remained., Alex came into the middle of everyone"Knight's lets head into the forest to get a healing potion and our eats from the supplies" He shouted in a commanding tone.
Hearing that there are going to heal and eat the knight got excited, However, the urgency of their needs clashed with the importance of honoring the fallen. One knight questioned, "What about our comrades' bodies?"
Ava stepped forward with a compassionate response, "We will return to pick them up later and carry them back to the city, for burial."
The knights nodded and made their way into the forest, where carts filled with healing potions and provisions awaited them.
10Mins Later.
When everyone arrived in the deep forest there spotted multiple carts of crates with healing potions and fruits and bread.
Excitement turned to selflessness as they ran toward the cart like a pack of wolves hungry to pounce, but suddenly Alex appeared in front of them pushing some of them back.
"Are you all fools" Alex shouted angrily, but the knight scratched their head and talked to each other, unsure what was wrong"We have to share these supplies you can't grab them all"
"Everyone that for all of us but if it ran out most of us won have any"Ava came to the side of Alex and said.
All the knights stopped after hearing Alex and Ava's words and realized they had to share the supplies to ensure everyone had enough unless there want others to starve."Now line up to collect"Ava pointed toward the carts.
As the sun set on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the once-devastated battlefield, and into the forest, the knights gathered around a flickering campfire. The crackling flames seemed to breathe life into the weary souls, providing a warm respite from the chill of the night.
Around the campfire, a lively discussion ensued among the knights, debating how many green griffin knights they killed.
One knight shared his knowledge efforts. "We've faced a tough war today, my friends," he said, his voice grizzled but determined. "With resilience and resourcefulness, we can rise again, stronger than ever."
Ava brought some healing potions and food to Chase, who was sitting away from the camp on a log, lost in his thoughts.
Handing them to chase"Thanks," Chased said biting into a fruit.
"How are you feeling?" Ava asked, her eyes filled with concern as she sat down on the log.
Chase gazed at the forest, his eyes clouded with sadness, "Just sad about losing knights, and grateful for winning the battle."
Chase looked at Ava's armor coved in blood and her hair was messy from the movement on the battlefield, Chase used his other hand to move Ava's hair the way it was before"What about you? How are you feeling after this"Chase asked affectionately.
Ava raised her handheld Chase's hand keeping his in her hair"Thanks"
Ava sigh with a deep breath" Just like you said I feel sad about losing more knights than we needed"Ava said with sadness"I wish I could have done more to change Freya's plan"
"in the future, you will definitely do the plans for attack or defense, "Chase said playing with Ava's hair.'After Freya sees the causality she will definitely change her plans for the future
Suddenly Ava moved forward and her sweet lip kissed Chase on his lips"Thanks for believing in me"Ava said as she quickly pulled away
Chase was surprised by ava bold move but he also like it, He gently moved Ava's hair, playfully teasing, "You've taken the initiative this time, haven't you?"Complementing Ava.
Ava blushed and quickly changed the subject and continued eating, leaving Chase amused. As the night wore on, the knights took turns keeping watch, the campfire's light casting flickering shadows over their tired but hopeful faces.
Chase got up and started searching an moving forward.
Ava looked up at Chase and asked"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to take a bath in the nearby river, "Chase said yawning tiredly hoping the river water wake him up"Do you want to come?"
"Idiot no"Ava shouted with a red face.
Chase started walking toward the river direction"Well you will be missing out"Chase said jokingly.
"No, I won't "Ava shouted, thinking to herself will I be missing out?
After a couple of minutes, Ava got up looking in the direction Chase left'Let do this' she couldn't resist the curiosity and followed him secretly.
Ava then headed toward the direction Chase went, after a couple of minutes of walking she heard the sound of the water flow of a river getting closer, until she spotted Chase clean new wash armor hanging on a tree, looking toward the river the moonlight reflected onto theater beautiful with sparked in the air, there was Chase stong define body, his wet hair on his forehead, a battle cuts on his body slowly healing for the healing potion, he was reflecting into the water.
Ava's face became red and coving her mouth as her eyes scanned Chase's body, Her eyes slowly went down his body but she could see anything because Chase body was coved by the water.
'Damit'Ava thought wishing she could see more, but then realizing what she was wishing for and was shocked by herself, Ava spent a couple of minutes watching Chase before she saw he was about to finish as rushed back to the camp.
Unbeknownst to Ava, Chase noticed her presence and smirked to himself. The next day, the knights continued their duties, solemnly tending to the fallen, vowing never to forget the sacrifices made in the name of honor and spirit. After witnessed the bravery and loss of its knights, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts and souls.
