[RPG] [RP] [FEI] An Execution in Colasan

[Chuong Huynh]

[OOC: Could someone please forward the first paragraph to Lasanar]

The darkness crept every closer from the edge of her vision. She did not
fear death, it was a welcomed relief from the world plagued with wars. The
irony that she worked so hard to prevent the death of soldier only to
welcome it herself.  Maybe like her they sought death as a relief from their
less then perfect lives.  For them that brief moment of glory on the
battlefield maybe what they lived for.  It was too late now, her lungs
struggled for the last bit of air.  Mayhaps her death will put to rest the
hatred from the Lasanar nobles and put their hearts at peace.

She closed her eyes focusing on the fleeting images as they flashed by in
her mind, some events she could not consciously recall. As an infant, she
was left outside the estate of a wealthy merchant in Oligarch city, her
mother knew a brothel was no place for an child to grow up.  She could see
her foster parents faces as they aged over the years, the only parents she
had ever known.  She saw her mother wanting to take her back to pay off a
debt.  No she could not live that kind of life and do what her mother asked
of her.  She saw the Ibladesh sergent at the recruitment center.  She saw
her first battle against the armies of Perdan, the chaos, the disorder, the
bloodshed.  She quickly retired to a non-combat military role as a trader
and bureaucrat.  Her one love in life was to travel the countryside from
city to city and she made her living in trade. She could see the towers of
Ibladesh city, the plains of the Cagilan Empire.  It was there she took up
mentoring, the large realm had many new troop leaders join daily.
Eventually the Cagilan Empire too became engulfed in war and she left for
another land to travel and trade.  She could see the coastal waters of
Lasanar, a realm whos food was to feed the entire continent. Lasanar too
soon fell into the grasp of war and she was accused of High treason for not
giving support.  The Lasanar people called her a traiter, but the only
person she felt she had betrayed was her Duke Ingus. She saw him at the
moment when he stepped down asking her to take good care of his city and she
failed him.
