Chapter #10 - A New Dawn
The fortress had been retaken, all opposition had been crushed. The Eribites were entirely wiped out, the traitors among the freemasons had been cut down, and all of the rebel military was in chains below. Queen Urist had managed to get the Duchess' children into all the positions of power. Urist had killed their father when they were very young, and had been able to brainwash them their entire lives. They were absolutely loyal.
It was a renaissance, a rebirth of Uristian law and order. She was disappointed that the Eribite Heir had been killed...but there was one person she could still take joy in seeing misery heaped upon.
Myth was pulled from his bed in the tower early one morning. There had been no warning. As far as he had known, there was still a chance for him and his men to be freed and to launch an uprising that could bring down the Queen. Myth was paraded down into the depths of the great fortress. He was taken to the heart of the forges deep in the old demon pits. Aldaris stood next to a lever wearing an executioner's mask. The Queen read his charges.
"Grand Master Myth Kediden of the once noble Cult of the Free Mason, you are charged and convicted of heresy, treason, embezzlement, fraud, extortion, thievery, racketeering, money laundering, impersonating representatives of the state, kidnapping, bribery, lying under oath, falsely accusing innocent citizens, conspiracy to murder, conspiracy against the crown, conspiracy against the state, hate crimes, crimes against dwarfkind, crimes against peace, crimes against the planet, stealing candy from babies, and oh yeah, cheating me at poker that one time. How do you respond?"
"Huh? Hey most of the stuff on that list was stuff
you ordered me to do!"
"Silence!!!" shouted the Queen. "I find you guilty! Furthermore, in penitence for your crimes I sentence you to burn in the eternal hellfires of the Underworld!" The Queen nodded to Aldaris, who pulled the lever, dopping Myth to his fate...
Video!While Myth was plunging into the putrid sulfury fires of the Underworld, above them in the temple the rebel military dwarves (minus their commanders) were being locked into the new pin pricking room. In full armor, they were impaled over and over again by single wooden spears. How long will it take to die? Lets find out, shall we?
