Family Obligations

Stephen Simmons

5/5 ( ratings)

In this short story, a quest for vengeance turns into an awakening of truths long since buried.

Mahel had one goal – to kill the king who had cost him every he held dear. The king who had killed his brother. The king whose negligent care for the realm had led to the deaths of the rest of his family. The king who failed in every aspect. The king who not only knew Mahel’s name but who seemed to encourage him to pick up the fabled thoughtblade Klennermald and use it to strike him down. Glad to obey this one royal order, Mahel reaches for the blade and the world turns upside down and all his carefully erected defenses crumbled and death suddenly seems preferable to the truths revealed.
