[Hubert hums in agreement. He can't speak for the nameless isle, he wasn't there. But he wouldn't be surprised.]

Well, there are, technically, those from my version of events. They are no friends you can make certain of that. It's so very novel to see your murderers and conquerors.

[The bitterness doesn't exist this time around. He keeps his voice level and neutral as he usually does. Not even any hint of sarcasm.]

If you're interested in the short version... My home was engaged in a war with two other nations. The Kingdom Army marched upon the gates of the Empire where I stood giving my life for my Lady in hopes that she would live even if I fell. I know not how that battle ended or if she survived and won. For now, until I am told otherwise, I will keep the faith that she succeeded and was able to carry out her goals. Or at least has an opportunity to start over.

Not so uncommon a tale, I imagine. There seems to be a rather large amount of soldiers and warriors here.
