Lien's Gratitude

"I never thought this would be an easy one." I thought to myself as my hammer collided with Auditor Madness, but his blade had already run through my chest. It felt warm, I see a shade of scarlet gushing out, tainting my Titan's Mantle. It was strong enough to pierce through it.

He missed my heart, but it seems like it'll be over for me eventually anyway. There's no healers around me, and I have to protect Alin, he got fucked up bad, nearly been stabbed straight through, I have to stay back and fight off all these troopers.


Dozens of them, armed to the teeth with their rifles or their blades. They keep coming and they aren't stopping. I close my eyes and I was now amidst them. The Warsmith's gift to me did the rest.

I can't hear anything over this deafening gunfire, the growing dull pain in my body as my suit soaks up the barrage of rounds... but I saw, they were in agony. They've grown to be more human, much moreso since the first time I fought them. It hurts my fiber of being to see them still alive when I don't get them with my first blow, I've really become a softie, I'm not much of a killer I was anymore.

They deserve to be in the spotlight, I'll watch their backs as it ends for me.




But you didn't allow it to end.

You really think I'm more than just your friend, huh? I've really done that much for you? I wept, that's not very macho for someone my size. I really was scared of death, after all, I couldn't get on with it. I felt pain for the first time ever, but you all were there, you all stood me back up. 


I'll watch you guys and girls til the end.

Don't break your arms holding those blades now.
