I’m trying to write a story here’s what I have so far, let me know what you think.

(obviously updated)

Pollen skins the water along its shores, as silhouettes of trees in the distance contrast against their blue backdrop. The reeds whisper their secrets into the wind as a warm breeze transforms the water into a barrage of broken reflections. Sparkles of light splash the underside leaves that hang just above the water.
Just below these branches stands Roland Nedion, resting with his calloused left hand against the bark of the tree. His thoughts are mixed; surveying flesh and a slaughter unfold, yet distracted by the stage the battle performs upon. Floating into his attention is a leaf dancing with the wind. With the area of his focus as their ballroom they sway and rotate together, descending ever closer to the surface of the water. The leaf lands with grace and a ring of waves form around it. As it rotates water floods its ridges. The water battles its crimson twin for dominance of the pool forming at the center of the leaf. The blood curls and coils like a heavy smoke slowly effusing itself into the air. Instantaneously liquid becomes relative as the leaf sinks below the surface and casts itself into the lake. As the leaf slips away and the sounds of war echo him back to his senses, Roland reacquaints himself with the battlefield by turning back to his servant bellowing the following orders:

“We’re doing exceptionally well in the water! Inform Mr. Short of our impending victory, I believe he will be pleased that his ships haven’t taken on much water, and his industry will stay afloat.”

He offers a quick chuckle to his own delight.

“Also be sure to let him know that his investment as a businessman and a friend will garner great rewards.”

Roland removes his arm from over his servant’s shoulder and allows him to run and deliver the message. Watching the young boy run off in the distance he returns to his officers to deliver a short briefing.
