Wounded unto death. His blood mingled in the dust with that of his foes and his allies and the horses. He hated the sounds the horses made when they had to be put down after such a calamitous battle. He mourned the loss of his loyal troops, of course, but it was the maimed and ruined horses that he really regretted. Such a waste.
Like his own life.
He tasted ashes in the wind. How fitting. His legacy would be those ashes now.

The hunchbacked monk cradled the fallen Lord's head. Whispered to him. Dark secrets. Bitter truths. A way to start over. To begin again.

ReplyDeleteThis is much more what I was expecting. It's darkly, horrifically Transitional, and very Endian. When do we find out more?
ReplyDeleteYeah, some of this gets a bit dark, but then it's Zalchis. More details will follow after we wrap-up a few end-of-year loose ends. I still owe Gus L a table, and there are two or three other things that need to get done...
