Reincarnation

[ Note: the grammar mistakes will be corrected tomorrow or day after tomorrow because I have some personal work ]

In the early morning.

A young figure in his early twenties was lying on the ground with many wounds and 3 swords penetrating his stomach. There were many corpses of humans around him, wearing blue armour on their bodies as if they were soldiers of a kingdom whereas the young figure was dressed in dark leather arming garments on his chest, sode shoulder armour, kote arm guards, dark black pants with a black bow tied around the waistline and red leg guards, and black boots.

And had also worn a red samurai helmet adorned with two antlers, a Sanada clan rokumonsen emblem and a men-yoroi (menpo) facial armour, that concealed the wearer's face.

The sun hung high in the sky, shining down on the battlefield, revealing the corpses of hundreds of dead soldiers some have their arms and legs missing and others with missing heads, human flesh and blood scattered throughout the battlefield presenting a scene of horror.

*cough...

The young figure coughed and blood spurted from his mouth. Even though he was on the verge of death he didn't panic or appear affected by it, instead, he just smiled softly and looked up at the sky.

" Finally we did it...didn't we? ",

A voice echoed in the young man's ears as he turned his face to the left and noticed a figure wearing the same arming garments as him with a hole in his stomach.

The two were the only figure who were wearing the same garments as the others, while the corpses around them were all wearing blue armour.

" Yes, after years of battle, we finally defeated them ",

the young figure said as tears of happiness streamed down his cheeks.

" But I still wanted to live a happy life with my wife and with my daughter ",

The other figure said softly with a little emotion in his eyes and looked at the hole in his stomach before sighing.

" Sanjiro, stop daydreaming, you have no wife or a daughter! ",

the young man said while looking at the figure beside him as he revealed his name.

" Neither did you ",

Sanjiro said with a smirk on his face as if he was trying to mock the young figure beside him.

" At least, I am not a virgin like you..ha..",

the young figure said before smiling, sanjiro with a blank face looked at the young figure and didn't reply anything, stayed silent until a curiosity arose inside him as the latter couldn't help but asked

" Licht is there any chance... we'll meet in the heaven?".

Breaking the silence, Sanjiro asked revealing the name of the young figure. To his question licht responded by nodding his head.

" Sanjiro...do you believe in reincarnation? ",

Licht inquired as the latter responded by nodding his head.

" Even if we reincarnate in different worlds or even if our memories fade, you will always be my best friend; no one can ever take your place ",

sanjiro said with a weak smile as his dead time was approaching him.

" Glad to hear that, I was hoping you'd replace me with a girl, hahaha...",

Licht said before laughing softly, the latter also looked at him, seeing him laughing, he also smiled.

After that they both looked up at the sky, and reflected on their memories, the memories of their childhood, being happy and joyful as they both were cared by a loving family consisting of a mother, father and many others, and the memories of Adulthood being harsh and painful as both have to train to surpass their limits, becoming powerful isn't easy at all.

" It seems our time has come Licht ",

After a while of silence, sanjiro said as he felt his body was becoming weak causing him to feel dizziness.

"It seems so ",

Licht agreed with Sanjiro as the latter also felt a different sensation inside his body and knew their time has come.

" Sanjiro, before we die, shouldn't we give each other a fist bump ",

Licht said as he move his fist towards Sanjiro, wanting a first bump before they died.

Sanjiro nodded before giving him a fist bump, tears fell down from his eyes, who knows if this will be the last time they see each other.

" Sayonara my dear friend ",

Sanjiro said before closing his eyes and a smile appeared on his face, he took his last breath and passed away leaving Licht alone.

" I hope you can live your next life peacefully Sanjiro... with your wife and a daughter and with the ones you care about",

Licht said as his eyes get blurry and knew, he will be dead at any second.

*Ha...' this war ruined me and my friend's entire life, if there hadn't been a war we should be living peacefully now, playing with the people around us and living with the ones we care about ',

taking low breaths, Licht thought as a sad expression appeared on his face.

' I hope there will be peace... in this accursed world...or else me and my friend's sacrifices would be in vain ',

This was the last thought that come to his mind before his soul left his body.

In a dark void, a white translucent figure was floating with an astounded expression on his face, as if he had never seen anything like this before.

" where am I? ",

Licht mumbled as he looked around, only to find darkness all over.

He was perplexed as he couldn't pinpoint this place, the place he was inside now is nothing more than a void filled with darkness.

" It can't be heaven right? "...
