To fell every linden tree by vrisadefer

Summary
It is the final day of the siege of Suchdol. Judgement Day, some would call it later on. The Praguers' camp had been razed to the ground by reinforcements arriving from Rattay: with Markvart dead, the rest of their forces flee.
Yet, despite being taken back, no victorious hymns echo through the fort. Mortal silence falls upon them: in the heart of the inner courtyard, Sir Hans Capon of Pirkstein kneels, unmoving, on the blood-soaked ground. No words reach him—no hands are strong enough to pull him away. Those who try to approach him cross themselves: the young lord is blind to the world.
It is only Father Godwin’s prayer that breaks through; his palms shaking, spread over Hans’ head: Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificetur nomen tuum; adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua.
Fiat voluntas tua, he repeats, and waits.
Sicut in cælo et in terra, Hans finishes, his voice breaking. He raises his eyes for the briefest moment—as Godwin kneels down to gently pry his hands away.
Henry’s body in his arms is already cold.

Summary
“Penumbra (n.) — a part of a shadow where the light is not wholly gone, used especially of the half-shadow cast during an eclipse.”
Evil does not reproduce; it perfects itself. And the Lord does not halt wheels that men themselves insist on turning.
Some would argue whether Henry pushed or István leapt. But they should note, perhaps, that God kept His silence as ever.
࿇
This work is a large-scale István Tóth bildungsroman covering 1372–1403 and is intended as a hypothetical prequel to his main KCD narrative.

Summary
‘We’re all a pawn in someone’s game,’ He said, with a familiarity and softness that pissed Henry off a little bit, but he couldn’t help but listen. ‘Whether you want to be or not. You were a piece on Brabant’s board, but who’s on yours?’
Henry shook his head. ‘I refuse to play games with people. I know what it feels like. I won’t do it.”
Dream-Ištván watched Henry with his soft, almost mournful brown eyes. Henry thought he could see a twinkle in them, a spark of recognition. Perhaps Ištván had been like him once, he thought; perhaps they were alike even now.
‘Well then Henry,’ He near-whispered. ‘I wish you all the best.
/////////
Every night Henry is haunted by a familiar face. They talk, argue, and perhaps find common ground along the way. Even if it isn't easy
