King Oban stood silently and still, knowing that to slip from the stool upon which he stood would drop him into the noose that would end his life. He badly failed his people, who now suffered a terribly ignominious rule under the Gnomes. He contemplated if life might serve some further purpose, such as bringing pain to those puzzlingly subservient rulers that merely stepped aside for the Gnome King, as though they owed him a great favour. What purpose could they have had to take the reigns of their nation if not to seek the crown of Alamaze for themselves? To have fun? To revel in a distant second place for the ultimate glory? Indeed, Alamaze had become a queer and confusing place, certainly no place for a Dwarf with giant ambitions.
As much as vengeance was a powerful emotion, death was tempting, if only to relieve the pain and humiliation. Just an ounce more courage, and it would be all over...
