Sister in battle
🕑 Added 2024-02-02 09:10:58 +0000 UTCThey told us that the conquest and invasion of Santion was for the greater good of the empire. We were made to believe that these people are a threat to our homeland. It was a gruesome ordeal, to feel the dead bodies under your boots. They never stood a chance, we were methodical and efficient, the killings became more routine to a point that my fellow Hands and I can no longer tell the different massacres apart.
I kept hearing "It must be done" -- "Someone has to do it" -- "For the Empire", taking lives became second nature in a perfect execution of dehumanization through psychological and emotional conditioning.
Time passed and I started to fail in my duties, I started to question our motives and it led to my superiors subjecting me to an extreme form of mental domination. But the ritual was not entirely successful, and I realized that I am not among allies, only enemies.
Rime tried to stop me, resulting in a violent clash of ice and unholy flame. I considered her my equal, a sister in battle and I found no joy in ending her, she was simply in my way.
