Nothing Stands in the Way

The battle was bloody and exhausting. Though there had been few fatalities, a number of soldiers had received nasty wounds, including the Kings.

"You've got to have that looked at. It's probably already infected!" the Just king pleaded.

"Ed, yours is probably worse and one of us has to make sure everything's in order," the High King responded, angry.

"Well I couldn't just let them lop your head off!"

"And I couldn't let them skewer you."

"So Your Majesties are even, and may escort each other to the healers, and I'll take over, temporarily."

"Yes, Oreius," the Kings chorused, chastened.

A/N: Hope everyone is doing well! Just wanted to give you a heads up (in case you are interested) – I've decided that this will probably end with 50. So the end is near. Unless I get bored and decide to resume. Which could totally happen.
