"I know that this is the end. I have no friends, I am loathed, I am defeated and I am broken. This surely is where I will die. Is this how a king dies? Is this how a hero dies? Where did I go wrong… Jauffrey, Reighloph, what did I do wrong?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He moves forward, his body is broken and without the horn that makes a unicorns inner light shine, he wanes. He is weak now and falls, sinking into the mud beneath his hooves. There is water falling beside him, like the crying sky, rain.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I did everything I was supposed to do, didn't I? I fought for my country, tried to make them all better. I defeated our enemies, but they still hated me, they still loathed me. How could they? I was a hero after all, I was a king, a savior! Why did they hate me?!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His hooves scrape through the mud, trying to drag him back up. His bones ache, his body trembles. He lays back down, his heart starting to flutter, beating slower and slower with each passing minute. Fire still burns within him, but it is fading.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I have think back now, try and think about what I did wrong. Uncle Reighloph, you told me about those heroes of old, this isn't how they ended."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He turned over to his back, breathing in labored breaths as he gathered air, forcing his lungs to cry out against their protests, “Where did I go wrong!?” he shouted into the raining air, echoing throughout whatever land he was in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is surely where I will die. But I won’t die a hero, I’ll die a villain… but that’s not how I wanted it to be. I wanted to be a hero. I remember. I remember..."
