503 Sadness

"This is the start of many losses for the Redwing kingdom!" Monk shouted as he went off and marched forward with his army. 

Ray was tempted to walk forward and forget about the deal they had just made, but the others reminded him if he was to ignore the outcome of the battle, then they would lose respect for him as a leader and as a person. A true person kept their word, and a king was expected to do so more.
