"The Weary Warrior" by Rob Joseph
The warrior has fought valiantly throughout the campaign, making progress towards his people's effort. Through extreme exertion, and costly, hard-won battles has he and his comrades tasted victory bittersweet. Having endured crushing defeats, seeing his brothers fall beside him and knowing that their sacrifice only bought the others time to fall back, and the objective was lost.
Time and time again has he fought and bled through this Hell, whilst enemies and allies sate the thirst of the sands underfoot. In the fray he now surveys the battlefield - taking in the sight of the brothers having been devoured by the mouth of the sword; the once magnificent buildings and commoners homes that now lie in ruin; the screams of death and cries of battle that fill the air.
Insurmountable devastation has cast its shadow upon this land. Utterly exhausted, the weary warrior collapses to his knees. Will he get up?
