As she looked up I saw what I had seen many times before, those icy orbs shining in the light of the foggy dawn. The golden light shining off her brown hair as I looked down from the shadows of my cowl as she said the words that would echo in my mind, echo as I drank away everything, echoed as I looked at my knife and wondered why, echoed as I left the best place I ever found to find redemption. To find rest her voice echoed in my mind echoed ever since that day her eyes met mine me from my usual place, standing my full height towering above most men as those who met justice knelt before me. For the first time I paused was it justice I thought as I looked down as a tear fell from my eye I knew this woman but knew that the law was broken I knew my duty I saw her myself pockets filled with money from the tavern I knew my duty I took Beth my Beth my sunshine to the place I took every law breaker. I waited till dawn and took her to the center of town and like every criminal I did my duty I raised my blade and brought it down a flash of iron an arc of scarlet. I did my duty to my king as always as always I was given my pay my blood money. Money covered in blood, blood of thief ’ s blood of killers the blood of my daughter. This is the coin of the headsman the coin of blood the coin of Judas the coin of a traitor now the coin of the father.
