[RPG] The death of Alex, High Marshal of Itorunt

[Alex Davies]

Alex stood with his men on the plain of Igno, irritated tat the Yssarians 
had never invested in building a wall around this townsland. It was now his 
job along with the brave soldiers he now stood and fought with to hold back 
the Caligan raids.

After a few moments of discussion with his fellow TL's, they spread out to 
meet the oncoming archers and infantry.

"Forward!" the cries of the Itorunt Cavalry came behind as they closed in on 
the enemies ranks, preparing to charge into the melee. The Infantry marched 
forward with a trained effciency that would be hard to find anywhere else, 
and Alex and his 9 archers raise their bows and shot their arrows towards 
the caligans.

The archers re nocked some arrows, and prepared to loose another round, but 
just as they did, the Caligan archers had found range and loosed volloeysof 
arrows towards him and his men. 4 fell under the arrows and Alex buckled, 
with an arrow through his thigh. Still he was not felled. As his men looked 
to him he shouted "keep fighting!" Another exchange of arrows, the Caligan 
ranks had been wrecked by the rampaging Cavalry but as Alex fired his last 
arrow he looked up, and the world seemed to slow down...

The arrow cut through his thin armour, piercing his neck, and as his men 
fell around him he struggled and fell, and the Itrount forces ranks ahed 
suddenly broke and scattered... he tried to shout to them to fight on but 
they were eventually overcome... And then the world faded.

San walked through the streets of Ortedail, when he was approached by a 
messenger dressed in black.

"What the..." San looked at him warily.

"My lord, are you San, marshal of the army of Ortedail?"

"Yes, I am... why?"

The messengers resolve seems to falter and he takes a few steps backwards.

"My lord, please, do not get angry with me when you hear this..."

"Tell me the god damned message or I really will get angry!"

"My lord... your other half brother, Alex, High Marshal of Itorunt was 
killed today in a battle in Igno. The details are unknown but it ios known 
that he slew many enemies before he well fighting for his life aloongside 
his men."

San suddenly goes pale.

"My lord ... are you alright?"

"Leave me." San's voice is barely more that a whisper.

The messenger runs off, glad to be dismissed, while San starts to hit the 
wall again and again with unconcealed rage.

The Internet is truly a wealth of exotic and meaningful information. Each 
new nugget of knowledge it brings to me makes me a little bit stupider.
