Summary
Mike is a paladin, sworn to uphold his sacred oaths, protect the helpless, and bring the vile, evil things of the world to justice. On his first solo mission, he's tasked with delivering a necromancer to the hangman's noose, but the man he's been charged with escorting to his death doesn't seem like a villain, or even a threat. Still, Mike has a duty to fulfill. Tags to be added as needed, rating may change.

From where he sat, the bound man looked at his feet, caked in blood and dirt, torn to pieces from the road. Mike glanced away, knowing full well he could cure the wounds if he wanted. Now that really would be a waste of resources. The man was to die anyway and the walk was meant to be penance for his crimes: a small measure of suffering to pay for what he’d done. His blood would nourish the earth, the soil beneath, and something new would grow from it when all the necromancer had brought was rot and disease.
