Casey chuckled softly to herself as she stepped onto the already scarred battlefield, while grasping the remnants of a letter addressed to her that pulled her through the darkest days she had ever seen. Today, it's words were silent & meaningless. The letter had used the last of its magic long ago. Her hands trembled as she read the final sentence one last time.

"No matter what happens from this point forth, I will be with you and beside you, my greatest friend & ally."

In her last moments of clarity before the chaos of battle broke out, Casey neatly folded the crumpled paper with her shaking hands & placed it under her chest armor beside her rapidly beating heart.

She could sense with bitter understanding the deafining trumpets that haralded so merging terrible...

This was finally the end.

Today, Casey Amy Stone would die. Should history remember her as hero or villain, she would never know, as the final blow that would be dealt to the tired twenty some year old, would take her far away before history even had a chance to pen her name on its pages.

She smirked in her usual cocky way as she wiped her sniffling nose. There would be time for emotions & sleep in just a few short hours time, she knew. Now, she just had to be strong.

With weary eyes & a smug smirk plastered on her face, Casey patted the letter under her armor & signaled to her troops.

It was time to go.
