The once proud Tel City of Hidden Forest lied in ruins. The long siege over, the might of Hinnom broken, their false god humilated and banished, soon to be forgoten. "What a grand ballad would it make", thought Dag and felt the despair creeping over him. For how could he sing it, if he was mute. If he could at least write it and hear some other skald sing the verses arranged so perfectly and powerfully in his head... but alas, he was BLIND! This one fateful moment, this one moment during final days of the siege, when he let his guard down and a foul fire drake spit fire in his face, this one moment cost him way too dearly.
There he was left by Frode's army, a recluse in the castle's keep, doomed to live a life of a cripple. "A retirement" Frode called it. Damn this fool. He must have faith, for if there was a force in this world which could deliver Dag from his current predicament, it was surely Dogmeat.
"But damnit, he could move his hairy ass and break free already."
edit:(oh, and I've seen what Obama did to those atlanteans last turn. I can imagine E.Albright as he bites on his clenched fist muttering "just kill him already you useless fucks!" Well, at least he got wounded.)
