Beginnings
She looked over the two armies, the larger of the two better armed, trained and lost. Where as the smaller; theirs; wasn't as well trained, but they knew what they were fighting for was true. Oh yes, the truth, it was such a funny thing, pulling the mighty down to its knees and leaving them venerable to attack.
As she watched from the background (as close as she was allowed to get); Kurdy, Markus and Mister Smith could be seen making their way across the expanse of land that separated the two milling armies. Armies that instead of being in the heat of battle as may expected were just standing around.
Today was the beginning of the end. The end of the rule of Daniel. The end of the labor camps that left hundreds dead in unmarked graves like in the days of the Death and before.
Running her hand over her swollen stomach; the beginning of a new world for all of them. Yes, they may have started over back when the Death finished, but this, instead of beginning with death, it was life... peace. Something she really wasn't used to, but something she could definitely live with.
She sent a silent wish with those three men that they could make things work for all.
