Sacrificed

From the time she was born she knew that she was special. She knew that she was destined for something great. She had always known that she was different that she was important. That she had something greater in life that her life would never be average. She breathed in deeply as she strapped the hard metal to her shins. Running her fingers along the buckles she slowly pulled the leather straps tightly securing the metal plating to her legs. Not even once had she believed that she was normal. She knew she had purpose. She knew she would never live the life that all her friends lived. But they could not understand. They would never be able to fathom the knowledge she obtained. The power she possessed to change there world sending everything and everyone they knew crashing to the ground. They didn't understand that she was the chosen one. That she was the only one who could save what they loved the most...life. She pulled the breastplate over her head fastening the ties on either sides. She knew it had to be done....she knew it wouldn't be easy. Once she began she knew that there was no turning back, no way of escape, no where to hide, she would never have a chance, it would be over, it would be finished. She could feel her heart begin to race. She was not afraid...she knew what would befall her...that it would be the end. But still she proceeded. Sword in hand she began to walk straight forwards. Her hair blew in the wind as she headed into the center of the battle field. Some thought she was brave, most believed she was insane. She was still so young with still so much life ahead of her. But she knew what needed to happen. If giving her life meant saving the rest it was worth it, if by buying time she could even spare one life it was necessary, if it meant standing in the heart of the battle to give hope to the rest...it was the right thing to do... To save the whole some must be sacrificed.
