Changing History
For the "legends" challenge at the discworld100 community on LJ
It was strange how history could change, contemplated Vimes, as he walked around the stone kings, with his son in his arms.
He'd seen it happen before. The murderer of a king became the man who did what needed to be done, when no-one else dared. There was even a statue.
Now the slayer of trolls became a peace maker. The kings themselves were the statue in honour of a peace that should have been made centuries ago.
The legend was a lie and a new one grew up around the truth.
No doubt it would change again, in time.
