End of a Soldier

 

 

A short recap of life and final moments by Velhrun William Darkwood

 

 

 

The road was a long one indeed, to think of my humble beginning - arrival at Helena and enlisting with the goal of finding a purpose, tis was that which started my road and set my goal before me.

 

 

From my first major battle I charged forth along the cavalry with a call of Death and Glory to the suicidal missions of  Korvassa, my road was a simple one indeed.

 

 

My life is defined by a simple thing, loyalty, endless loyalty to the Empire, the Emperors and Empresses, that was the core of my creed.

 

 

With this in my mind I fought forth against any enemies of the empire wherever they could have been and I did not spare my flesh of resources for the sake of the empire, all I had I gave when and how I could.

 

 

What did this bring me,  I proved my mettle and ascended to the nobility, proved my prowess to become a Knight Commander and many more recognitions from the Emperors and Empresses of the past.

 

 

Yet now I  rest most likely on my deathbed and I look towards the current Emperor of the Empire that I am and will be loyal to till the end of my life and beyond it.

 

 

I have full faith in the Imperial State Army and their work. The general himself honored me, a dying man with presence, I could not ask for more.

 

I rest waiting, a bird sent but a response not seen, as a peer, former general and Knight Commander I wished in my final moments to apologize to His Imperial Majesty for failing to accomplish the Venerable quest  that was given to me in my lifetime and to pass to the Seven Skies with full faith in the Emperor.

 

 

Yet I am left waiting, I know the end is near but not even a response could be seen, but I still hold hope, for how could I not?

 

 

 

His Imperial Majesty would spare a mere moment to allow a dying man to apologize for his failings before death wouldn't he?

 

 

Signed

Velhrun William Darkwood

Was fun playing the character, but everything meets a end sooner or later, tried to do a decent sendoff, but it is what it is.

Dame Viktoriya entered the hospital in a hurry, her white robes trailing on the floor behind her. The moment she burst into the room, she could tell she'd been too late.

 

"Ah. An old face . . ."

Conversation commenced. Velhrun had been her oldest friend - literally, and figuratively, and despite his actions, she felt she should aid him. Yet, she'd been too late.

 

"Vhat do vy mean, vyr . . . dying? Vyr young! Young folk don't die!" she chortled, looking down at him with a crooked grin.

 

 "I'm a hundred years old, friend."

 

As they spoke on, his voice had gradually dwindled. And then, at last, his breath had, too. "Vel -- VELHRUN!"

 

She'd sought to resuscitate him; she was in denial. Yet, she'd been too late. 

 

That maleficar didn't leave the hospital alone that night, but with a heavy bodybag in her arms.

"I'll find out who did this to vy, and t'ey'll . . . I'll faechkin' - kill them!"

Captain Sir Robert Archibald Galbraith mourns the death of his former commanding Officer "It was a damn pleasure to work under such a brilliant individual. A true shame to see the man go."

[Buffsanta 961]

Holy sir hieran thinks about the loss of his great comrade in arms 

 

"A good man he was. And a good soldier" 

 

The dark elf stays silent for a few more moments, before rising from his seat and leaving the past in the past, but the memory in his mind. 

 

"Not so spiffing, dare I say" 

[XOCO 502]

"Death and Glory, General Darkwood. Death and Glory." Lieutenant Ezekiel Moores brandishes his cavalry sabre, engraved with old man Darkwood's motto.

[kuerbis 3802]

A woman believed to be long-dead offered a mere grimace at that. She recalled from a life that she had long since left behind to start anew; "He is one of the men that tortured me... You know, perhaps they shall brandish him now, in the nether, where he belongs." A wicked smile thus appeared on her features before she got back to studying a tome.

RIP william, he was a chad

"So you'd like to enlist in the Glorious State Army? Alright let's get the paperwork done and you in the reds." a sheet of paper would be placed in front of the Interviewer.

"So what's your name?" asked the brown haired man, gripping his pen tightly, he would be prepared to write down the details.

Pausing for a moment, he would then tell him, "Velhrun? Darkwood? Quite a unique name..." he'd then chuckle, "You know you seem to have yourself together. I think you'll do wonderfully in my brigade. After we're done here. I'll tell you more about it."

 

In the Seven skies a long deceased member of the Imperial State Army would sigh, but smiled! at the fact that Velhrun now has his rest.

For your First character, you made such an impact on my roleplay and on those around you. I am glad to have been able to be one of the first people to bring Velhrun in. RIP General Darkwood

Adrianna Darkwood sheds a single tear for the deceased William Darkwood and her Great-Grandfather in-law. "Ich should have made ein effort to meet du sooner, Ich am sorry. Gotte forgive mich.."

[Gandhi 3225]

Charles Darkwood weeps for the soul of his Great-grandfather, something rattling within his mind that only one person outside of himself knew. "Ich am sorry...Ich- Ich am." He murmurs.

[oryP 1068]

William looked upon the newsletter shortly, tossing it aside. “So I’m to be removed from the family soon, Surprise there.” Sat back at the table and rested his eyes.

[Franczhiz 4437]

Philip Hughes de Rosius saluted for his great-great grandfather from within the Chateau de Rosius as he saw his other family members mourning the death, signing the Lorraine afterwards. "Rest in peace great-great-grandpere, on behalf of your many grand-children and their children I thank you for your service. May you reunite with my grandfather Valent and with my father Charles in the Seven Skies."

[Shmeepicus 4215]

Caspian patted his old comrade on the shoulder as he entered the Seven Skies. "It's been a while, friend. We can keep each other company while we wait for the others to join us." He'd remark, a smile on his face.

[sergisala 3451]

"The death of the former General Darkwood has truly shocked me. Despite our punctual disagreements we worked together in the Council of State in the decisive moments of our country, where we defended the authority of our Emperor to rule over humanity, and I know that he tirelessly worked very hard for our army and its troops, risking his life in the process. The truth is that the 1st Baron of Darkwood was a true orenian patriot."

 

Sir Charles Galbraith sighed, before rolling over his shoulders and signing the Lorraine.

 

"Rest in peace, my lord." 

[Phoebe202 1057]

Elodie de Rosius signed the Lorraine “May you rest in peace, Grandpapa.”
