BORROWED TIME

THE ENEMY 

has been driven from its holdings once again.

 

With the island secured and Balianese ports blockaded, the final days of this war draw to an end.

One more stronghold stands in the way of the siege of Portoregne; within the year, it shall belong to the Holy League.

 

I speak not just for my flock and our beloved allies, but to the people of Balian too. 

The war shall soon be over; Burgundy will lead the way.

A site of great betrayal, the blood of my brothers ran once spilled upon your cobbled streets.

Soon shall the city of Portoregne be reduced to dust and broken dreams, and my wroth at last shall subside.

 

I had offered you a mercy never afforded to me.

And you have chosen otherwise.

“What was the alternative he offered again? My memory fails me at the moment.” The Amiratus asked her trusty secretary.

 

“..Eh— the dissolution of the Kingdom and annexation of its lands, Your Excellency.”

 

“Oh!” Esfir couldn’t even stifle a laugh at the irony of the missive. “How merciful indeed.”

"The blood of his brothers spilled upon our cobbled streets? I would be interested to know when that happened, for as I recall the only battles upon Balianese territory have been the raids and sieges of others," Aurus remarked idly, not much thought spared to yet another missive declaring battle.

 

Lucien lay on the warm sand of the Balianese beach alongside his brother and his goat. To both, the child assured, "I'll take care of you while mama and papa are fighting. And if anyone tries to hurt us, I will scream and throw glitter in their eyes."

Johanna weeps for how desperately she loves her children. She watches them play in the sand, building their final sandcastles, knowing that soon enough, this tropical home of there's will simply be a distant memory to her sons.

The Sohaer smiled the sun's smile, setting down a draft of the plan of attack on the table in the Sillumir war room. A miniature copy is pinned alongside Church Coalition propaganda to her fridge.
