caper_est: The grey wolf in the red gloaming. (golden kate)
[personal profile] caper_est
Killer-Kate and Luke Lackland: 240 words.  The tragedy begins to close its jaws, and a nameless sergeant who is probably the greatest real hero on the Bad Baron's side closes skilfully with Fiery Younger Sister in her battle-taking.  The baronial side will never remember him because he was just another churlish servant, and the good guys will never remember him because he was just another soldier of fortune in the army of the Man.  In the grand scale of things, he is one of the least significant characters in the whole tale.

But this is his tale too, or it is no-one's; and though I know next to nothing of him, I doubt I will soon forget him.

Next, the culmination of the Assize in the market-field below.

Without this part of the story, everything before and after would go for nothing.  Also, I think it is doing more or less what it ought to do.  I never expected to hate writing it so very much!
