The door opens, revealing before me the Major’s office. The room is vast and wide. Plaques upon plaques of military accolades and achievements line the wall, as well as pictures of victories at some of history’s most important battles.
I march to the desk, where Major Ilgeran has his back turned to me. He looks out over the city which is visible through wisps of clouds.
“You summoned me, sir?”
The chair turns slowly, revealing a grim expression on the face of my superior. He gestures to the chair beside me.
“Have a seat, General. We have much to talk about.”
THE END.

TANEM
The night is almost as dark as I am.
Almost.
Maybe nothing is darker than I am. I don’t know. I have lived a very long time.
Somewhere in my memory, maybe I can find something as dark as I am.
But I have no interest in searching through my memories for something that doesn’t matter.
What matters is that I am darker than night, and I shift and ripple with the shadows of Eelry.
I am not trying to hide. Not really. I am hunting, and maybe I should hide. Be stealthy.
Maybe.
But I have no patience for playing hide and seek with my prey. They will see me coming. They will see their deaths.
They will certainly feel their deaths.
Next time, I will try to be stealthy. The taste of surprise in the blood and flesh of whatever I am eating is quite exquisite.
That, I have to admit to myself.
My favorite meals are dark elves. They taste like nothing else I have ever consumed.
And in my centuries of living…
Centuries Tanem? Have you truly lived that long?
In my centuries of living, I have never tasted anything like a dark elf. Their flesh is soft, supple, tender.
Their dark sorcery flows through their veins, providing me with strength and keeping me sated days after the meal.
