PRIDE OVER PEACE

[mmjinae 79]

A lone librarian stared at the missive in her hand, the words lit up by flickering candlelight. Old memories flickered through her mind's eye: the screaming citizenry of Portoregne, slaughtered by remorseless Ferrymen; horror stories of kidnappings and maiming committed against her friends, her people, her Royal Majesty; the air of terror that loomed over the Marchlands and beyond. The missive crinkled under her tightened fist.

 

"You shall fight for pride," she murmured, "and you shall die for pride. So be it. So will I." 

 

Asya Carmesía got up from her chair, and set the crumpled paper down on her desk. She marched to her armoire and threw open the doors, revealing her armors, her sword, and her bow.

 

"I will help see this war reach its end. I will put your brigands to the sword. I will see Winburgh burn."

[TeawithFrisket 2634]

Sofiele ontop of her horse back looked upon the long line of 20 men columns rising and lowering over the mountains towards windburgh. She then saw the fortifications over the hills towards the hills on Adria. The Paladin overlooked the battle from up high with her scope. Her eye filled with a bit of sorrow.

 

”war brings chaos, pain and death. My lord commanded us to keep order- yet descendants create madness and chaos themselves.”

 

The elf returned her scope to the horse satchel as she leaned foward.

 

”even in their missives. They lie…”

"Why did they think peace was an option?" wondered the Priest Belisarios, preparing his armor for the coming battle.

Hali smiled the suns smile. “Could not have stated the situation better myself. Are those who stood alongside the butchers, lending hand as necessary while muttering hasty objections to be seen as innocent? They call us warmongers and yet we offer real mercy to those with the humility to accept it.”

[VoidTermnia 259]

A Musin who was exceedingly tired of war pinched the bridge of their nose. "Well, suppose it's time to stock up on healing supplies again.. So much needless pain.." They murmured. Picking up their alchemist's shears and heading off.

A mali'aheral in Cormath would look to the poster with a soft sigh. "Forced relocation isn't peace by a long run. This is why I don't like going to most Valar nations... Except one, of course. So many ghosts and unneeded bloodshed...." 

 

And with that, she'd hop back into the ocean. Back to spear-fishing as usual.
