As the
guard pushed Xenon to his knees, he looked out across the crowd of those who
were eager for his blood. He found the one pair of eyes filled with tears.
“I regret
nothing,” he said, though she was too far away to make out his words.
The
executioner’s axe clanged against the cement block. In that moment, Princess
Solace vowed she would never follow her heart again.

NOTE: The happenings of this story are not mine. They were originated by my friend Andrea Tonnies as the backstory for one of her characters in a roleplay we do together. The story fit this prompt perfectly, and I was so inspired I felt the need to put the story into my own words, and Andi was gracious enough to give me permission to post it ^_^
