Sotha Sil is going to die today. He's known that since the day Vivec, Almalexia and he betrayed Nerevar at Red Mountain. As such, he has had quite some time to plan out his death.
Pinkie doesn't care.

Surprisingly, not an EAW story.
WARNING: This story is marked as complete, however there is a chance it might spiral into something longer. If so, I will create a new story for that, just like I did with The Wrong Mare and it's sequel Piece by Piece.
