And on to the story

Red. That was all that could be seen. The sky was red. The clouds were red. The ground spotted and speckled in infinitely varying shades of red. Even the fires that adorned the blackened monstrosities that used to be the beautiful palaces of Alagaesia were red.
How did this crimson veil originate?

Blood. It was everywhere, giving everything a crimson haze. There was so much of it, it made the soil soft and your boots sang into the ground. Blood so palpable in the air you could smell and taste its iron ,coppery essence. Crows dove down from high places invisible to the eye jubilantly singing the encore to the choruses of war.

Then, without warning, pain . White. Hot. Pain seared through my entire being enveloping my body in its suffoacating embrace. I looked down and watched as the blade pierced through my heart. I couldn't cry. I couldn't scream. I couldn't move. My eyes met his and he smiled relishing in my obvious agony. The suffering, the blood, the carnage, the bodies, he was completely comfortable reveling on it all. That smile was the last thing I saw as my mind descended into darkness.
