Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
The Following Day
Gard stood upon the wall of Wilusa, looking out across the land. The siege was over and already there were the same old arguments and discussions going on. Things had gone back to normal so quickly. Too quickly… Soon all Evabondom would be marching to fight Mumm-Ra. Then things would be very different.
Turning away from the wall, Gard looked at Llud and Arnuwanda sparring once more. Best friends who would not see each other as often now with Llud as the Chieftain of Braki were trying to get as much time together as possible.
He then looked at Balor playing with Brigid and some other children. Children who had once found the city of Wilusa to be so cramped would soon find it so empty.
What was there to do? If all of Wilusa's warriors were to go to fight Mumm-Ra it would be left undefended. The other Evabon nations had given some warriors to aid Wilusa and those warriors would gladly march to Mumm-Ra's pyramid but Wilusa needed to choose who would go and who would stay to defend Wilusa.
Gard did not like the thought about leaving Wilusa so soon after returning to it but Mumm-Ra had caused a reason for Gard to go marching. Mumm-Ra had tortured Gard's brother Procyon into one final bloodlust caused rage. In the end Procyon took his own life, leaning back and falling from a cliff. Gard had no idea if he could have killed his brother for even as the bloodlust has caused Procyon to lash out at anything he had still been Gard's brother. Still, in the end it had been Mumm-Ra who had ultimately driven Procyon to his death.
