Broken Spears

The horizon line becomes crooked and indistinct. You feel the vague sensation of your feet drunkenly dancing along the hill, but mostly you are focused on the fact that your kingdom will fall. The blurry figure of your sister chases after you, but her words die away and you feel yourself tumbling, tumbling, tumbling...

You must have lost consciousness at some point because you have just groggily opened your eyes. Unbearable pain runs like a current through your whole body and throbs in your ribs. You open your eyes and find that a large, broken branch is piercing through your middle.
