One Wrong Slip

With one fell swoop, a life can be taken. No remorse. No fight. Just silence. A man’s accomplishments leading to naught once they hit the end of their road. Such is the case of Arthas Edvardsson Ruric, Prince of Norland, Chamberlain of the Kingdom of Norland, and a committed father. He knew that he would eventually meet his end, he just did not know how. Arthas spent the later part of his life making a secure environment for his son... but life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. Any inhabitant of the Palace in Varhelm would quickly learn of the Prince’s demise; his body slumped on his side against the wall at the bottom of the stairs while his eyes offer a bleary glare to anyone who came across him. 

 

With no will and a now-orphan son of four years of age, that leaves his relatives to decide what to do with what Arthas has left behind. As he comes to the Father’s Halls, embracing his lover for the first time in years, he can only feel regrettable warmth for while he can now rest, his son will have to live on without him.

 

Strangely, it seems that despite this event, the Prince’s departure was not unplanned but rather in a way he had not expected. Arthas’ final letter was seemingly published posthumously, perhaps by his steward colleagues.
