Backstory:
Ma Rose always said, "Pops was a good man," but I find that hard to believe. I find it hard to believe any Legionnaire to be a good man. They raise us to fight, to bleed, to die. Pops fought, Ma Rose fought, I fight.
We aren't a true family - Pops was a Sgt. who found me orphaned by the side of the road. Ma Rose was his 2nd Trooper. They took me in, and I grew up with Legion in my veins. I knew how to wield a knife while other kids were still learning finger paints and colors. The only color I knew was red. Deep, bloody red.
When I joined the Academy, Pops shook his head. "They let you in? Must be some kind of mistake," he said, but I knew he was proud. I was the closest thing to a legacy he had. Two years later, they assigned me to caravan work near Beacon. We had a small celebration that night. I made Trooper. Pops got promoted to 2nd Lt. and reassigned to Fort D. We were all happy. Ma Rose even cried.
It was four weeks in before I got my first real action - caravan work is slow but profitable. She was a bread thief - dumb as they come. We caught her at dawn filching from the Aldebrandi carriage we were protecting. Had she simply acknowledged her fault and apologized, we might have turned a blind eye. We're all hungry, right?
But then she pulled out her pistol, and everyone took a step back. I grabbed my shield and began inching towards her while Lt. Gaius tried to settle her down. Two shots ricocheted off my shield before I reached her with my mace. One swing and down she went.
Two days later, news of the Slane came.
Pops’ blade hadn't dulled over years, and neither had his skill. I'd like to think I'd find him under a pile of Slane corpses.
He wasn't a good man. He was a dark, twisted, and vile soldier who struck fear and steel into the hearts of his enemies. I can only hope the Legion remembers me the same when I leave this world.
