"Good master...your village is in need of you--For the recent raid of the bandits have left us in ruins"
Our people were burned, our huts were destroyed, women were assaulted and our children were taken away. These were the words that were written on the letter before Clovis Theudebert rushed to his stable. His hands shook yet with a lash of his horse he fled. His heart hammered against his ribs as the image of his pregnant wife played out in his mind. His heart clenched at how she had clung to him and whispered for him to come back soon.
"I pray to the almighty god that he will let the father of my child hold my child"
She had smiled graciously and said to him prior to the incident.
His eyes darted to the lush field--Though his mind was as empty as a void.
He then gazed out to see the entrance of Cysantium.
His horse then came to an abrupt stop as he hopped off. Clovis's eyes were widened, every step of his felt like the sound of a gong of death.
As he made his way in--The elderly rushed to him. Some stayed seated.
"They destroyed us, our master"... cried the people.
Clovis's jaw ticked as his eyes roamed the place--His knuckles whitened as the ruins of the Burn victims everywhere--Realization struck him as he sprinted his way to his manor. He pushed open the curtains--Startling the physicians.
Master...please!
He had let this happen.
