Gabriel stood there, guarding the long forgotten post, allowing his men to enjoy in the festivites that were becoming of the day. He knew it would do well for the morale of the men to enjoy something rather than deal with the day to day bloodshed this war entailed.
Suddenly Gabriel noticed movement and a foul stench on the underside of the bridge, the smell of an orc. Then quickly following after was a full contingent of the members of the Skull. They quickly knocked him to his knee's and began making demands and threats that he beckoned off and in his prideful way, retorted them into insults to the men of the skull.
The skull removed his armor and led him naked and tied up to their torture chamber, where it seemed like the torture was a game of entertainment. The orc and Ceinwyn both tore at him with tools that one would never even dream in the worst nightmare to be used in a torterous way. The orc started demanding to know where his beautiful wife was, yet Gabriel still held the resistance to the power of the orc, and soon the orc poured acid down his underpants, causing Gabriel to scream and wither in pain. During his screams, the orc grabbed his tongue and removed it with a dagger. The worst nightmare was occuring to Gabriel, though no one would hear his screams he knew.
Not knowing anymore where he was, Gabriel was dragged to the throne room of the castle representing the Kingdom of Sanctus to which he called home. The Death Knight spoke of many things, wishing Gabriel to join the Oblivion, yet he held strong until a strong dagger was driven through his chest into the chair behind him.
Glancing at the members of the Skull, he new he had failed Sanctus, he had let his Major, his General, and his King down. Suddenly there was a presence of the soldiers of Sanctus appearing, and the Skull quickly subdued them and left. After their departure, Gabriel lay in the chair unconscious, hanging onto a last thread of life while watching the entirety of his long life flash before him.
He awoke to Aliza Randerstill, Mark's wife, tending to his wounds. With his General and Major both severly wounded, yet holding strong in their efforts, Gabriel was proud to consider himself one of them. Soon his wife arrived beside him, and he tried speaking to her, however mostly he knew he was not uncomprehnsible. The wounds kept being tended, however he knew his lifelight was failing him, and spoke to his best friend, his Major James M'real, and told him to care for his wife, and other pleasantry. He then told his wife how much he loved her and how James would keep her safe. And then, after a concoction made by his good friend Lady Isk, he drank a vial full of liquidized utopia, and stood up to give a final farewell.
Upon saluting his General Eldred Jonas, he proceded, "I apologize to ye General, for I have failed you and have failed Sanctus. With my last breath, I wish for Sanctus to rid this world of all the evil that resides within it. I wish to see from the otherworld that this nation will rise above what it even stood at under it's first experiment. I die a proud man, a man with family whereever he looks. Mark I come to join you..." Gabriel fell suddenly to his knees, spitting blood, "Apologize to Aidan for me?" and he collapsed fully as his eyes closed for the last time simultanously with his death. |
