the last battle



by bofa xesjum



so these are the sort of fellows you bring me, eh? that you expect me to defend the empire with?

we have had this conversation before, darl krogar. at least once a week since the beginning of hostilities, i believe.

with a smile, lord vindo turned to the two young men and one young woman standing just inside the doorway. do not mind darl krogar. beneath his rough exterior beats a heart of pure bluster.

the milder looking of the two young men smiled politely at the vizier’s comment. he was only too well aware of the scripted nature of the warlord’s and the vizier’s banter.

darl krogar, the all powerful warlord of the embattled empire, who directed the empire’s military efforts for as long as 90 percent of the empire’s citizens had been alive, suddenly stood up from behind his desk, clutched ar his heart, and fell across the desk, dead.
