better in the end {thundy; blitz}

There she stood, the ground before her stained with blood, her Dao in her hand, her one remaining hand as slick with blood as the rest of her. Shocked she stared, her face morphing into horror as the image settled into her mind, and she bite back a scream, pushing herself backwards, inly to find that terrifying sensation grasp her as she fell, her leg entirely gone. Horror gripped her heart and the sword she had used to kill so many people clattered against the ground, ringing in her eyes, as her blood pounded. Finally she couldn't hold it back anymore and as her heartbeat reached a pivotal point she let her scream out, fingers clutching desperately at the place where her leg had been -where it should be. Because dear Ripred it should be right there, she shouldn't be here. She had beaten this arena, tears sprung to her eyes, blurring her vision as she dragged herself backwards, as though, it would pull her away from this nightmare, this horror. Here she was, once more surrounded by that arena, by the blood of Yaa, her own wounds gaping wide towards her eyes.

But there was no pain. Gasping, fighting back the sobs that threatened to take control of her body, she clung to that one thought. There was no pain. It wasn't real. Squeezing her eyes tightly together she wrapped her one good arm around her body. "It's not real." She muttered, but it was no use, a sob escaped her lips, and the tears streamed down her face. "Please," she whimpered.
