Through terrible sacrifice, the next of which will inevitably be your own life, you have fought endlessly for a chance to save the kingdom.   You've had no sleep for days, and your thoughts are muddled and painful.  You remember your allies dying one after the other, giving their lives to delay the enemy for a few more moments, with only the hope that they're lives would buy many more. You remember how each one of your friends met their fate, but their faces were hidden from you by dust and gore and your own scalding tears.  The Royal family insisted on being the last to leave, so you fought for the future of the land. The city now stands as an empty husk littered with the shattered remains of friend and foe alike. Empty but for two survivors.   You look into the eyes of your enemy and see a mirror of the contempt that you feel.  Realizing that you're unarmed, you pick up a sword dropped by a fallen defender.  With strength that you thought had abandonned you long ago you swing the sword into the magical mirror that was the creatures' only way of following the escapees as you feel the shocking blow from behind you and know that it was well worth it all to save them from this much pain. Your anguish turns to confusion as your last cry escapes you lips, "Hear Ye, Hear Ye!" The town square in the village you spent the night in is crowded, and a messenger stands above of the crowd on the twelfth step of the gallows. "By decree of the Royal family of our great country, all citizens must make hast to the capitol. Anyone of able body must be prepared to defend their land, and any heroes of note must make themselves available to lead the defenders."</blockquote>
