Following orders

The oldest of the soldiers, a veteran who trained a young Celera yells at her. "Get through that door and seal it behind you. We'll take care of this."

For the first time in a battle, Celera hesitates. She shakes her head no but the veteran soldier shouts louder, "DON'T YOU DARE MAKE LIGHT OF OUR SACRIFICE. GO, CELERA!"

She snaps out of it and sees the man wear a determined smile on his face. They all know, this will be the end for the men. Feelings overwhelm the female paladin as she crosses the threshold leaving her men to die. Tears fill her eyes.
