Life On The Border

I took the spear and kneeled down to her level.

"Thank you for bringing me my spear, little one," I removed my helmet and smiled.

"Gather the dead, we must give them a proper burial," I directed the survivors quickly and got to work. The little soul still clung to me, so I held her in one arm as I directed the village's recovery.

"[Divine Spark]!" I unleashed the golden flame in my palm as I prepared to burn all of the demon corpses.
