The Ultimate Sacrifice
Sullenly.
That's how I marched up the stairs to the roof.
My death would end the Blight.
My death would bring peace.
I left my king at the gate.
I think he knew what I was going to do.
The Cousland line was really going to end.
Death was near.
I welcomed my death, my death was necessary.
I had gotten my revenge and killed Howe.
I had ended it with my love.
I was ready.
A smile.
That's how I killed the archdemon, with a smile.
I was finally going to see my family again.
Goodbye. It is unsaid but my companions know.
