Nightmare of screams

The storm raged on, the heavy rain drumming against the blood-soaked land.

A lone figure descended the staircase out a palace main entrance, her heels clicking sharply against the wet surface as each step echoing like a death toll.

A woman on her early twenty, moved with eerie grace, unfazed by the chaos around her. As rain poured heavily, soaking her black cloak.

The empire was a nightmare of screams filled with agony and death. Men, Women and children lay lifeless. The empire was not like an empire but a battlefield full of fighting blood and tears of screams, their cries fading into the endless downpour mixed with bloods.

The woman stone on the high stair looking down the chaos of war happening down with one hand clutched a gleaming sword, its edge slick with fresh blood. The blood slowly being washed away by the rain. As on her other hand, she held a severed head, gripping his head, its lifeless eyes staring into the abyss. blood dripping onto the stone floor where she stand, mingling with the rain painting the ground in crimson.
