The Dragon's Banner
“Before him was a scene that could have been a vision of Hell. Nearly as far as the eye could see, the hillsides and plains were covered with the dead and wounded. The dead, at least, were at peace, but thousands yet remained alive, bleeding and broken on the field, and their moans chilled even Uther's soul. Horses, too, had been killed and maimed in hundreds, and the sounds of the wounded animals was louder and more piteous still than that of the men. And in the skies, the carrion birds screech...ed wildly, for never had such a feast been presented to them.
His men wandered over the field, gathering their wounded and dispatching the poor, terrified horses as quickly as they could reach them. They were all fatigued, and the task was overwhelming. Uther's body burned with exhaustion, for he had fought all day like a demon, and it had been long since he'd slept.
Still he could not take his eyes off the bloody field. The wind had picked up, and the tattered banners rippled eerily in the fading light.MoreLess
