Gail Simone’s RED SONJA #1, #2 and #3
For a moment… for a moment
We are eternal.
We are every warrior forced to kill and die for a cause no one will remember in years to come.
Every adversary who felt blade cleave into bone.
Every crimson-stained fighter who died for nothimg.
I imagine the first beings left here by the gods died thus.
And when the sun sets on our race, the last two men will have their brothers’ blood on their blades.
And for a moment I consider putting down my weapon and praying.
But JUST for a moment.
The promise of avery soldier in war.
"If I LIVE, I’ll pray TOMORROW"
