The ground army! Their plan was as courageous as it gets. They managed to sneak into its lair and slay it with an overwhelming force of men.
*Places my hand to my mouth and speaks with a hushed whisper*
They won’t tell you this, but they planted a spotter to evacuate the city while they held it off if the tides started to turn. One way or another, you were all getting out.

@Legend

And that's what that is? They're parading the corpse through the gates?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

You don't have to stand guard. It's over! The beast is slain!

@Legend

By who?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*An entourage carrying an enormous, elongated plank of wood covered by a white tarp emerge from the woods, laughing, cheering, and full of joy; I notice you standing outside the gate and make my way over to you*
Hey feller! Looks like the news hasn't reached everyone yet!

@Legend

*Glances from side to side, then responds after seeming to think about something for just a moment*
News?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*A warlike chant can be heard swiftly approaching the city gates, which open in anticipation; nobody around you seems to pay you any mind*

@Nimda

*Narrows my eyes and looks toward the opening gates*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*A handful of people can be overheard discussing a recent death of a young member of the rural town, who was found torn apart by wild animals outside the safety of the walls*

@Nimda

*Looks up to the sky and crosses my arms in anticipation*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The echo of my voice is replaced with the sounds of cheering coming from within the walls of the city*

@Nimda

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, that you might be wise given your name. Oh well.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

And yet have done nothing to this day.
*The mist begins to solidify, with rudimentary stone city walls coming into focus*

@Nimda

Wrong again.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

You have made peace with your own apathy. The scales will reject that mindset.

@Nimda

A set of values misaligned with what yours may be do not make anyone apathetic. I stand my ground, firmly.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

You offer lip service but have no intention to change her. Nor will you change your own path.

@Nimda

Were that true, I would have killed her when I met her. If you can't see at least that much then you fail as a bearer of your title.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

She's cut down thousands since she met you. And you intend to chain her now?

@Nimda

It’s always been my intention. If I give up on anyone, I might as well give up on everyone.
