“The guard on the other side of the door then heard a litany of profanity that he would not have thought possible even moments before.  Though the thick door muffled much sound, he was fairly certain his lord was swearing in multiple languages as apparently common-speak alone was not sufficient for the task.  The man stood still and simply accepted the experience as a learning opportunity.  Several days later, he used his memories of that night to swear at another guard in orcish.”

“He looked at what he had wrought, and a faint smile worked its way onto his face.  He realized that he had been asking the wrong questions earlier.  It was not a question of if he would kill in a given situation, or even if he would risk the suffering of innocents to further his own ends.  The question was ‘Would he go as far as was required to secure his kingdom in The Land?’  Richter drew back his sword to thrust into another helpless creature and answered himself, ‘Of course he would.  After all, blood had always been the mortar for the foundations of an empire.”

The pitiful creature cried out as its young existence was extinguished, but the man barely noticed. All that mattered was that he was one step closer to his prey. The captain of the plague squad left the charred shell of the warehouse and slowly spoke the name of his quarry aloud, as if tasting it.”
