[b][i][u]Dying Breed [/u][/i][/b] [b]As the snow blanketed the world Royal left the dojo, sighing as he looked back at the gates a final time. He vanished into shadows, standing in the middle of the refugee Islands. He looked around as a man approached [/b] http://iob.imgur.com/uYGg/jgT2dLAxQy "It's that time. I know it is, Rocwald." [i]"So you remember me...."[/i] "I remember all those that I failed, all I loved, all I-" [i]"Shut up. Face your death with dignity." [/i] "I have lived a million adventures, and fought a thousand wars in the span of my life." [i]"Is that so?"[/i] "I was there, when Aragon claimed the crown. I was there during the great war of the Dragons, and their downfall." [b]Royal looked at the Knight Killer [/b] "I have seen worlds you could not comprehend. I have lost things you could not even begin to feel. I have destroyed worlds. But I am honorable!" [i]"Let me say this to you now, Izodath. You stand among the ash of billions of dead souls. Ask them the question of what your honor means, and their silence will be your answer." [/i] "You do NOT have that right -" [i]"I have every right. You ordered me and my men to certain death." [/i] "WE WON THE WAR WITH YOUR SACRIFICE!" [i]"But what about your sacrifice? You lost nothing" [/i] "I lost a friend..." [i]"I was never your friend." [/i] [b]The Knight Killer, Rocwald approached Royal and raised his sword when there was a crack. Zora appeared behind the Knight, a sword straight through his chest [/b] [i]"You... Do not.... Have anyone....." [/i] "ZORA WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" [u]"It had to be done. Your future does not end here...." [/u] "WHO GETS THE RIGHT TO SAY THAT? Certainly not you!" [b]Rocwald slumped to the ground, dead. Zora simply looked at Royal blankly [/b] [u]"You're welcome." [/u] [b]She vanished, leaving Royal with a dying Rocwald[/b] [i]"Even... When you are saved.... By someone... You are alone." [/i] "I Am not alone, Roc. You are. I have the biggest family in the Gorram Universe. I have come to face death, and I have cheated death. I have much to do." [b]Royal vanished as Roc took his final breaths, the snow covering him completely in a white blanket, stained in red. [/b] [spoiler]Closed! The end of a little side plot I had going. [/spoiler]
