Beneath a sky drowned in black, where stars hid their light out of sorrow, a lone knight sat in the sea of violet blossoms. Her silver armor shimmered faintly, reflecting the trembling glow of a world that had long forgotten her name.

Her wings—once radiant and proud—were dulled with ash, one feather at a time torn away by years of unspoken grief. She had fought battles not for glory, but for promises whispered to her in gentler days, promises that crumbled like dust in her palms.

The flowers around her bowed as though mourning too, their fragile petals brushing against the cold metal of her greaves. She drew her knees close, eyes of crystal blue reflecting the countless lives she could not save. Tears welled up, but she did not let them fall. Knights were not meant to weep.

And yet, here she was—armor gleaming, wings broken, heart shattered—watching the horizon that would never bring her the voice she longed to hear again.

A whisper drifted on the wind, neither friend nor foe, neither divine nor damned:

"Tell me, knight…" it asked softly, curling into her ear like the breath of a ghost.
"If a warrior dies forgotten, and the flowers are the only ones to remember, who truly carries the weight of her story—the knight, the blossoms, or the silence?"

And with that question, the meadow grew still, leaving only the rustle of fading petals and the heavy silence of an answer that might never come.
