As my arms reached out to my fallen friends, the stench of blood all over the place, I began to realize what we had just done.
We had slain a God.
Sure, the price we had to pay had been gruesome, but from this day on, there would finally be peace with no rotten deity deciding over us.
Now, at long last, our families would be safe.
And as sleep creeps up to me, like it did for my comrades, I lay down next to them in the pools of blood.

For we had done well. Now we may rest.
A quick flash fiction about the end of a major battle. Inspired by the quote from the game Tribes 2: 'Let me rest, oh my people let me rest, for I have bled for you.'

Ah yeah and for the flash fiction contest at :iconthewrittenrevolution:.

Thanks for reading. :)

It's an intriguing story - I really like the understated poignancy of the ending.
