The silence that occurred at such a moment was unsettling to the Darkness knight. Such a thing was impossible to her, to know such peace on a field so destructive as this. In this moment, her heart began to race, pulse pounding in her ears as she tried to escape the lull of tranquility. No. This was not right. Gritting her teeth, she growled venomously, tearing through another Earth soldier in an attempt to hear their screams. Yet nothing answered. Not the sound of rending flesh. Not the sound of a deathly cry. Nothing.

It was maddening.

With a panicked screech, she went into a flurry, bodies beginning to fall faster about her.

But she knew that such sweet endings only existed in fairy tales told to children. When a blade pierced her back and protruded from her stomach, she realized that fact. Her magenta hues gazed down unsteadily to the blade and smiled, recognizing the make of the weapon. Her lips curled into a smirk and she exhaled one last time. “Finally...free.” Her last words were carried away by the wind, her mind falling into the blackness that took all soldiers from this world. Ophelia entered death’s embrace happily and for once in her life, she felt truly happy.
