Victory

by Cearbhall Kingshield

I'm almost can't believe I'm here to write this but I am. We won. We won by a landslide given the literal endless force we were up against. Myself, Takuma and Martin were all victorious in our own duels, most of the King Shields are still alive, my former Stewards and thankfully most of the townsfolk. Takuma seemed to use his wits to out smart the 'lord of order and chaos', Martin channelled the power of the entire Leongling line to overpower and smite the Other King and I, well I simply repeated a feat I had accomplished before. I owed that bastard Ademere two lives for Sodo and Tawaka and I can't even begin to describe just how satisfying it was to cave his head in. We won, the threat is over, never again will our sky turn a blackish purple. We can look forward to the future with a clear sense of optimism and hope that the night has past, the dawn is here and nought but a sunny day lies before us.

I still don't know what the future will hold though. Martin will have to adjust to ruling rather than leading, there is a subtle but important difference, but I think he will be more than up to the task, I know he will. He has Takuma and Lady Jen to help guide him and I'm not going to leave just yet, I'll chip in with as much help as I can before I go. To that end it is even stranger to ponder my own future knowing that for the first time in my life the choice is entirely mine. I can go anywhere, do anything, I am master of my own destiny. A scary thought for someone middle aged who's never been faced with such a decision before but it wouldn't be the first challenge I've overcome.

For now though we must focus on the present. Stormont and indeed the rest of the realm needs rebuilding and I shall add my experience of such endeavours into the mix and see it all restored to its former glory and perhaps beyond. Safe to say we've all earned a little downtime too. It's time to rest, recuperate and rebuild. The future can wait a little longer.
