You are awoken, not by the sound of singing birds and the glare of the days first light, but by the sound of guards hammering in the town square - you knew this day would come but you were always unsure as to when it would rear its ugly head. You go about your morning ignorant to what you know is coming; as you sit with your family eating the last of your winter supplies you cast your mind back to what a difficult winter this has been. You switch your attention to the eyes of your children's "What does their future hold if it indeed holds anything" you wonder to yourself.
After mustering the courage to head over to the square, there is already a crowd gathering. After what feels like hours of pushing and shoving you see exactly what the guards were placing on this morning:

You sigh to yourself, you already knew exactly what it said before you read it but you had hoped some how you were wrong. Looking around you, you see a multitude of different emotions. Some are scared, some cry and very few you see the glow of pride in their eyes but what you don't see is anger and this settles you for if you die on the battlefield protecting your family and realm then you have died for a noble cause!
