A Warrior's Redemption (The Warrior Kind)

Then I saw some of the unknown aggressors as they surfaced briefly for air.

Whales!

The same beasts that had brought our allies to us were now smashing away at the enemy's fleet without mercy. Ships began to sink, their hulls shattered as still other ships made way for the open ocean forsaking the screaming soldiers trying to swim out to them.

The escape of the navy wasn't to be though. I saw one of the farthest out to sea ships completely pulled under by the encircling tentacles of some huge sea monster.

What a bloodbath this day had been!

I noticed General Nadero by my side and as if sensing a gathering darkness crowding the corners of my consciousness I reached out and clutched at his shoulder, "General no more killing! Let the survivors go! We have our victory."

He grabbed my arm, "Consider it done Roric! Roric are you okay? Roric are…."

His words sounded hollow and far away from me and I realized that I was falling. Endlessly freefalling downward.
