TO MY HOMELAND

Karina, slowly growing stronger from her previous ailments, hears of the murder of her cousin. Her frail hand reaching for the glass cup beside her bed. Swiftly, all in one motion, the girl shattered it against the wall.

 

”Bastards. I knew they were cowards but stooping low enough to slaughter a young girl.” She coughed out releasing a disgusted scoff. “They call us Haense citizens monsters though we have never shed the blood of an unarmed, feeble and innocent child. May those cravens and rotten gutter vermin burn in the fires they started and drown in the innocent blood they shed. GOD may be forgiving but not enough pleading to him could reverse their heinous acts. Children do not pick this war. Men do.” She screeched out to her sister who sat beside her bed that night. “If I had been stronger. I was suppose to protect her.” Weeped out the now older Alimar princess through excessive sobs.

“A true Alimar, one of honor and common morals. If only her pathetic excuses of a father and brother were more like her,” says Otto upon hearing of his niece’s words from a messenger, as he prepared for the second assault of Reza.

Ser Debbie Sugarfoot halted on the bridge right outside Ruebern, near the vast wheat fields. The horse cantered around the outside gates, the halfling viewing the several cages made to humiliate the Orenian forces once captured. However, the halfling sat idly and bare naked, the missive on one hand and the head of a male child on another. Dropping both onto the wheat field, he’d smack his boots onto the side of the horse and galloped off. “Ja, mon. Don kno GODs blessing mon. War init, saint day or something bruv. Don kno the ting.”

“And you kill children!” A rare tone and expression escapes Edyth, one of sheer disgust and hatred. “Innocent children who have done NOTHING to you. Even your High Keeper finds disgust in these actions. If you believe the slaughter of children is ever excusable, perhaps you’re the poisoned one.” 

“I’ve never killed a child, merely kidnapped one who was in a warzone. I believe her name was Lorena or something of the sorts. I do not have a High Keeper, as I do not follow the Red Faith of Morsgrad, I don’t believe there is a God or Heaven above. We all become food for the dirt we tread on.” Godemir would spit hearing a fly buzz in his ear. “I still don’t appreciate the Ruberni ***** mouthing off as if she has a moral high-ground, people die. Soon Haense will burn on the Saint’s Eve of tomorrow...” he’d continue to sharpen his sword eyeing the besieged city of New Reza.

“The Ruberni girl you speak of is also a CHILD.” Edyth scowls. ”And she does have the moral high ground. The side she chose isn’t the one killing children. We all die, aye, but those kids never even had a chance to LIVE. You’ve turned a war meant to prove independence and avenge a killed man into a disgusting moral-less void of hatred and death. You’ve no honor.”

“Ruberni wretches... They shall pay for their crimes.. Haense will stand victorious, and these heathens and heretics shall be cast aside, food for the Crows *Marcus would say as he sharped his zweihander with religous intent*

“Perhaps as a priest you should welcome them into your temple and keep them off of the roads instead of trying to mock the duke, you spineless rodent.” A feminine voice, figure masked behind an old style Norlandic helm, would respond.

“I have extended my hand offering peace many times, each time it was slapped away by the greed and hubris of the Haenseni. War is a terrible and cruel thing. Deaths such as these are inevitable. But each and every death lies at the feet of those who murdered my men, attacked my allies, and violated Ruberni sovereignty. Those who when offered a gentle peace, chose a brutal war. Do not speak to me of slaughtering the innocents when many times over Haense has put entire cities of ours to the sword. Where was southern mercy at Seahelm? At Ruriksgrad.” Godric would shake his head as he would telepathically answer the man many miles distant, probably walking back to Reza from cloud temple.

 

“Despite all southern propagandizing, I have no intent of genociding your people, or destroying your faith. I fulfill my obligations to my allies. Defending them when they are attacked and violated by the Haenseni. Eternal incompetents. The soul of this innocent child was perhaps clean enough that she may rest in the mantle. For that I shall sincerely pray. Weak men inevitably bring about harsh times. And no longer will I subject my people, or my fellow Highland folk to rule by weak, cruel, vindictive, spiritually effeminate men. Say what you will of me. But I have protected my people at every turn, protected my allies when harmed. Pursued my enemies with righteous fury. My people are safe and whole. Can Peter protect his. We shall see come the reaping hour.” With that the weary Duke would turn, rubbing his forefinger and thumb over his weary eyes, the clamor of construction and children at play filling the city behind him. For now, his people were safe. For now the faith endured. But for how long..

Tybis shakes his head as he attempts to hold back a laugh, “Oh, dear Godric, you speak of weak men as if you are not one yourself. You are the follower of your Renatian ‘allies’ though you’ll never admit to being a puppet under their command. Your troops do not win your battles and the remainder of Arcas knows it to be true. While your Renatian friends have strengths, you yourself do not. You are a disgrace to your ancestors.”

“As barbaric as child-killing is, perhaps the Ruberni would not have slain her if the Orenians hadn’t called their children to arms,” muses semi-neutral historian of little renown Mr. Odoaker Drakaene.

Vladrick simply shook his head, being by the side of his son now. He patted his shoulder, gripping it. “She is no daughter of mine nor is she your sister. Disown her my boy, for she is of her ***** mothers kith.” The Black Prince would state harshly, ready to add another to his list.

Ivan barely understands a word of the speech but understands the Young Princesses feelings as a servant reads to him.
