Atticus opened his eyes and walked out of the room, not really knowing what happened, He stepped outside on a balcony and leaned against the railing. he closed his eyes and sighed," Damn.... this is really getting annoying...." He stood straight and turned around, only to get rammed in the chest and pushed over the railing. He grabbed the attacker and made sure that they can with him. He attempted to right himself in the air, but only managed to turn on his side before they both hit the glass of the greenhouse, going through, and then the ground rushing up to meet them. when he landed, he felt the glass go into his entire right side of his body, and he felt a few ribs break.
He groaned slightly and stood up, drawing his sword, being numb to the pain, and he watched as the attacker stood up like nothing happened. The attacker drew their sword and stood in the same stance as him, the blade was a darker red than his and they didn't move.

They walked up to him, the grin still on their face. he thought," crap.... I have to move...." they smiled wider, thrusting their sword into his chest, and out his back. his mouth opened in a silent scream of pain, and he slumped forward into them.
His vision dimmed, and he heard them say something into his ear, they sounded female. they pulled the sword out of his chest, and he fell to the ground,"W-why....." he choked out the words and looked up at her and she smiled her figure dark, like she was in a constant shadow," You left me.... I never forgave you." and with that she dissapeared like dust in the wind.
He laid there in a pool of his own blood, and he wanted to say the healing spell, but it would be of no use, the spell would kill him in this state, so he just laid there awaiting death's warm embrace. He thought of everyone and a slight smile spread to his lips. he thought to himself," Well... it seems that i let you all down... man... this sucks..."
