Effigy
Outside the Battle Museum, Trevor watched the effigy burn. A sign below the blazing straw figure read, "So end all who want war."
Although he was a member of the village guard, his position outside the door was ceremonial. This meant his sword was safely at home.
He ground his teeth in impotent rage. These townies had no idea the kind of sacrifices he and his comrades made on their behalf. He doubted any of the soft, well-fed fools could survive a week of drills and hard living along the border where skirmishes were more common than sleep.
