The Lord Gawn steps through the charred ruins of Talmberg. The fire caused by the Union had burned most of the town.
He carefully walks, holding his cape and robes up. He cries out loud at every burnt, useless piece of Groschen, their currency, which hasn't changed after all this time, that he found.
Morphyte watches him from afar, leaning against a post, which was untouched by the fires.
They are corrupting Margaret. She is your daughter. His Raging Fires speak to him once more.
His knees grow weak. After all this time, they speak.
"My daughter is still there...in the soul of this girl." He speaks out loud.
Then tear through the Witch! Tear through Henry!
"I..don't want to.." He defies the Fires.
A small sliver of blue appears behind the fires in his eye, and small trail of red flame travels out of his eye. He coughs up blood after.
"What did you do to me?!" He asks, holding his eye.
You will not defy us! We saved you, Sigor!
"Forgive me.."
Do what must be done, so you can see Martha again.
"Martha.." He falls down on a knee, crying softly.
"Sigor! What the fuck are you doing?!" Gawn stomps towards him.
Morphyte glares up at him, and stands up, pulling out his sword.
He stands tall over Gawn, his eyes glowing brightly.
"Wh..what.are you doing?!!"
Other Guards and villagers of Talmberg gathered around, as did Arthur the Smith.
"These are my people now." He says.
Gawn trembles as Morphyte slowly pushes his blade into his neck.
"Stop! Stop him!! He's mad!"
No one moves.
Morphyte cracks a smile as his blade pierces fully through Gawn's neck, killing him. Finally, his Lord was dead.
He drops his body with the ashes on the ground.
"I am your Lord now." He raises his voice.
The people look around at eachother, then begin slowly clapping for Sigor. He has gained their favor.
But Arthur doesn't.
Morphyte looks out to Rattay in the far distance.
"The invaders that burned our home, they intend to ally with Rattay! Let us bring the fires to them..!" He holds his blade up, igniting a bloodlust in the people.
Well done.
The small flame, that flowed out of Sigor's eye, traveled in the wind, due East towards Rattay.
It traveled past traveling merchants on the road, over a stream, all in the pursuit of rage.
"I simply ask that you give my people and I your aid." Lady Ghost takes her helmet off, standing before Lady Maria.
Vess stands behind her.
"How can I trust your word on these things?"
"Ive seen it with my own eyes, mlady." Camille looks down, to hide a tear.
