And So The Story Ends

[Abeam 511]

It’s been years since the days that Alexei Nicodemus could of called his ‘Prime’, he was aged by now, old, withered, and demoralized beyond belief at the loss of Peter Chivay.  For almost Eighty-Nine years Alexei lived, from his early years living in old Arethor, up to now, in his manor in the northern reaches of the Empire, just north of the Clay-Canyons.  His wife having passed on two years past,  and his son and two daughters having come of age and left long ago, Alexei sits alone in his home, rocking back and forth in a large rocking chair.  

 

 

“What’s the point of all this nonsense?”  He mutters darkly.

 

“I’m too damn old, too damn tired, and too damn full of piss and gout to just sit and rot, let it all end.”

 

Alexei stands forth, using a walking stick to aid him to the bedroom, where his relics of days gone long past sit.  He peers fondly at his various suits of armor, worn by wooden manikins.  Finally settling on the oldest suit in the room, an aged and somewhat rusted set of chainmail and plate, with a tabard fitted over, a tabard solid red, with a white rose set on the center.  

 

He sits on his bed, letting the old walking cane fall to the floor.  Lying down, Alexei Nicodemus closes his eyes, and dies quietly in his sleep.

Arthal Lowedge puts his head down in his office, and swings his arm, smacking his cane across the room as he recieves news of one of his best friends' death.

 

He simply sits in his office and silently cries as he continues to drink himself to death.

The based-god, rhyme-master, who also happens to be a priest Balthazar cries silent tears as his greatest adversary in both rhythm and rhyme passes. Never will there be one who can equal him again, never.

Boef of Briezh didn't know the man who served the Empire bravely, but he is Boef of Briezh. The honorable man that he is, puts 1 wilted rose at his grave. He looks to his wife.

 

"Many peoples die this year. Bad year, eh?"

 

His wife nods silently, together they walk back to their farm.
