The Sorceress
Thousands of years after the golden age of Tortall, when the even the legends of the lioness had faded to nothing, when the ballads of the Protector had been forgotten.
When the Dominion Jewel had been forever lost, and Tortall had faded into desert, a red headed girl with green eyes walked slowly through the shifting sands. She stopped at a great stone pillar. Writing was engraved deep in the surface.
Here lies the sorceress of Alois, who loved the people who killed her.
The girl's eyes shifted to an emerald green.
'Poor Sorceress. Poor people. She deserved better.'
Yes, she did. But maybe now she will get it. She should never have been forgotten, just as the Lioness and the Protector's names should have lived for all eternity. She never had the justice nor the legends she deserved.
'Isn't it my job to make the heroes's names legendary again?'
As it is my job to commemorate the unsung heroes such as the sorceress of Alois.
The cat nuzzled the grave.
And that evening, there was a new star in the sky.
Yeah, so I know this is short but I really wanted to post this. So I just thought, if the Cat could incarnate himself on earth, surely it goes the other way too.
If I feel like it I might commemorate the other 'Unsung heroes' with stars. Then this would become a series- Kalasin jian Wilima, Pahom, and Buri's mother, Fanche Weir, ummm Onua Chamtong and Sarge, Maura of Dunlath maybe? Review with suggestions and I'll see what I can do.
