The Rogue King
The rogue king of Annondale sits on his throne made of blood. He killed to obtain the throne - he thinks he is a god messenger but he is just a person set on war. No one wants to tell him - he is too tall, he is too dark, he wears ash for wars uniform. But he will not listen. Instead he picks a swords and tells all who questions that fight him to lay all tongues still. So all the kingdom grows quiet - they cannot best the best and he knows it.
Still out there in the brittle woods there is another traitor on the march. His farm had been turned into rambles because of the rogue king; and so he has taken horse and sword and used all craft of blacksmith to battle the rogue king. He will find him soon.
The rogue king asks for more wine and he is given. he is drunk by the time his gates are shattered with a bomb that is thrown from the woods. The rogue king shudders and he moves to see what has caused the interruption. He sees the traitor in the wood, wearing white and gold as though he has been given them by a lord. The rogue king snorts, and he drinks the last of the wine in his cup before he moves to march against his newfound enemy.
The rogue king fight the traitor. The battle hard. Then the sky turns red and it stays red for an hour before the sun sinks completely. It is a majestic battle, but in the end one has to be slaughtered. The kings-men prays it is the rogue king, but then shudder when the head of the traitor is cut and put on a flag staff.
The sun dies and all hope dies with its light. The world dark, and those who remain alive hang their heads in shame - the rogue king has won.
