Tiy glanced up from the motionless blade and into a pair of eyes she had seen a thousand times-eyes that were often filled with laughter, never widened in terror as they were now. The sword hit the deck, but a reverberating clang never met her ears. She had no choice but to watch the steel rotate over and over as it fell, the glinting metal mocking her mistakes with every flash. It tumbled so slowly that it seemed as if time itself was stunned into inaction. Although, it didn’t fall as she thought it would. Her useless hand dropped the sword and the blade tumbled toward the wooden planks. Was she screaming? Or was her Ka, her soul, abandoning her as well? Hot a ir rushed from her open mouth, burning its way through her vocal chords, yet she heard nothing. The moment he fell to the ground, the moment his breath hitched with finality, she knew her life was over. Everything hushed into a dull hum, her mind retreating from what she had done. An unsettling numbness smothered her as she watched her truest friend clutch a hand to his side.
