Thirty men retreated to the fortress Karsiv, which translated means "Sanctuary." The Yussin surrounded Karsiv and prepared for siege.
From among the thirty, Ennis spoke, "Forty years has it been since Keifas died and vested his authority in the Knights of Donar. And though I am a scribe and have never held a sword, give one to me now. Let us fight our last battle, and make the last great journey beyond this life."
The men agreed this was good, and attacked the Yussin at Karsiv and fell before them. Thus ended the life of Ennis of Nator, friend of Keifas.
Brief Conceits will be moving off of Blogger onto a WordPress-powered site. The transition will happen later this week. The web address will remain the same, and if you are subscribed to the RSS that should remain the same as well. Thank you!
