Adigun jin Wilima
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adigun sighed. He regretted the death of his wife very much. Reports told him that his daughter, safe in the company of lady knights and shang warriors, was making her way to Tortall.
Adigun knew that many wished him dead. His food was poisoned often; he'd gone through three testers in the past week.
But today, Adigun was done. He wished so badly that he could have had a simple life with his wife and daughter. He wished that he'd followed his heart years ago and whisked then away to start a new life in mountain country. They could really have been happy. But Kalasin was too heart-strong; she would never have left her people.
It didn't matter now. Kalasin was dead, Thayet was gone, and soon Adigun would be no more.
He sat down to his supper, taking a large ladle of soup.
He felt the poison beginning to work in his veins.
It was over.
