Description
Of all my relatives, my brothers and cousins born by incest, my aunts and uncles who inter-wed, my father and my grandfather, how is it I alone, the bastard daughter of Heron Vervix, who remains alive?

They never thought much of me. My grandfather had me taught to fence as a joke because that's all I was as the daughter of an outsider; my father choosing to have his first time with a servant rather than a sister.

Now both of them hang from posts along with the rest of my tangled web of a family.

How ironic my father's sword is all I have now and it is by that blade I survive, drenched in the blood of southerners.

Well the invaders gave me freedom, they're pretty smart really. A pity they want to kill me too.

What do I do now though? I have no home and the incompetence of my relatives means I cannot marry a southern warrior. Where do I go?

I wonder where my mum is. She always looked after me until she was forced from the castle. I want my mum!

I'm getting tired and this sword is heavy. My arms and legs are sore from killing.

Maybe the Eye will watch over me as I rest?

Contrary to what modern historians believed, Princess Brijeka managed to escape capture by the Emperor, and hence, execution, following the Topor Campaign. Here she rests in an old shrine lost to all save herself and a few wilderness farmers and wanderers, wondering where her life will go now that the Khanans have 'ruined everything' and contemplating how unlikely her continued survival was.
