Background[ | ]
As you near, you feel a vibrant history contained in the essence of this man's soul. Voices from its past seem to call out to you.
You see a large crowd gathered in the middle of a courtyard. This man stands in the midst of them, a cloak pulled over his head, holding it closed around his neck. The crowd has congregated around a platform and they all watch, transfixed, as a man is led to the platform, flanked by two city guardsmen. The man is shackled hand and foot but carries himself as a nobleman, not deigning to even glance at the crowd.
The cloaked man pulls his cover closer around his face and turns to leave, hunching over to avoid being seen. A crier on the platform unrolls a parchment and begins to read, but the man pays no attention, intent on getting away from the courtyard. The crier's voice grows louder and more intense as he reads and voice from the crowd start to punctuate his sentences. The jeers and shouts grow more frequent and with each one, the cloaked man flinches and his shoulders droop. He breaks from the crowd, coming to the edge of the courtyard as the crier reaches the end of his proclamation. The crowd grows silent again save for the occasional shout. The man turns back to look at the platform, seeing his father kneeling before the block, neck exposed.
The executioner moves into position, lifting his axe to strike. The man turns suddenly, unable to watch. There is a wet thunk and the crowd breaks into cheers and applause. He leans against the wall, regaining his composure, then straightens up. With obvious resolve, he strides off, away from the crowd and his legacy.
