Markus plunged his war hammer down into the skull of the last dwed that dared to challenge him, leaving the field about him scattered with the dead. With a solemn nod he followed the rest of the soldiers home from war, his squires taking up the plate he had gained as war trophies. As they teetered into the capital of Felsen after several days of travel, Markus set to repairing all he had gained from this leg of the campaign. He had high hopes, in truth, but came from humble beginnings in a far distant realm known as Brolimund. Orenian politics made little sense to him, and due to that he had no choice but to do what he did best, fight. As the sun rose the next day, Markus was awoken by a hard knocking on the door, his close friend, Ser Roke stood nearby, offering a quick statement to which Markus bobbed his head, following eagerly. As he entered the office, the door shut behind him and the men within began to chat. Suddenly, there were no other words, just steel."For zhe Order". His body contorted and shook tremendously as the dirks and swords pierced into his unarmored body, rendering him dead.

 

"Why? What have I done? Why have these men I fought alongside betrayed me?"

he thought as he drifted into the darkness of death.

 

His body was heavy, though it did not phase his craven murderers. The four of them carried his body off for the balcony of the palace, throwing him off into the gardens below. Shortly following, his body was carted off and thrown into the sewers, only later being found by a young boy due to its horrendous stench. The only thing that traced Markus Aveere back to his identity was the tabbard he wore with pride, it bearing the dragon of House Horen.

Markus Aveere, Knight Captain of the Crownlands, Holder of the coveted Imperial Merit Award and sole emperorsguard to Emperor John Horen, first of his name; was dead, murdered in cold blood by the craven men he surrounded himself with.

 

OOC:

I guess this was an interesting death, I can't really go on further into detail without ruining the surprise, but hey who cares anyway. Not sure if I'll stay or quit, I was excited about this character and losing him was kinda upsetting. Anyways, good rp I guess.
