Like sunlight through green leaves. They fade and James finds the archer and destroys him. They burn their king in a pyre built sky high and James watches the flames and sees the rest of his life turn in to ash.
---
They lose the war. James watches with dry eyes as the conqueror sits on the throne and claims the world as his'.
They take his sword and put him in chains. Rebel, they call him. All those that pledged to the conqueror after the war.
He sees crumbling castles in flames and men screaming and dying and when death comes, it comes as mercy.
His wasted life.
Sunlight through green leaves. Quade smiles at him and James finds the prince he lost so long ago.
The End.
