The Conquered, Part 6: The End?


Your soldiers chased me to the edge of the precipice.  Who was it that discovered my plot, that betrayed me?  Your chief advisor rides next to you with a smug grin.  He will die slowly; this I swear.

With anger hot on your face and with a word, your guards let loose their arrows.  Three plunge into my chest.  I topple backwards over the precipice.  Blood gushes from my wounds, drifting above me as I fall into darkness. 
 
My blood.  The last of the blood of my people.   Avenge us! they cry.  But the darkness wraps around me.

AVENGE US!
