Black Ice

- None of this should have happened, - I said, filled with sadness. - People shouldn't exist like this. I dismounted, hurried to Brunhilda, and tied the horse to a random stake. Let it graze for a while, if there's any grass left that isn't soaked in blood. - We'll soon reach Mondnacht, but for now... I hope you understand. There's no one else who can do this. I took out the sacred scripture and walked across the battlefield, reciting prayers for the fallen and asking the Emperor to accept them into his afterlife. Ataraxians, Hellgate creatures - all the same. Tears streamed down my face.
