Subject     A brothers regret.

Born in
tarsis Bazan grew up surrounded by happiness, His mother
Amania
was a local healer and his father Gilf was the former
captain of the city
guard.

His youth was spent helping his
mother tend to the sick that needed aid, and
training with his
father and older brother the current second in command of
the
city guard. One day during training with his brother they are
interupted
by a member of the guard with a message for his
brother. "Lieutenant Artor,
Captain Blackmoor has told me to
inform you one of the scorpions is wanted
for murder and you are
to bring him in dead or alive."

Bazan asks if he can go with
Artor only to have his brother refuse. After
his brother leaves
Bazan decides to follow him into the old city anyway.
While
looking for his brother he is attacked from behind by the man
his
brother is hunting. The scorpion slashes his eye with a
dagger laughing
madly as Bazan lays on the ground screaming in
pain he hears Artor scream
his name. Artor grabs the dagger from
his boot and throws it at the scorpion
but he dives to the ground
to dodge it. 

Using this chance to close the distance he stands
over his brother and draws
his sword. The scorpion jumps to his
feet and draws a short sword and black
dirk then begins to circle
the brothers. Lunging at Artor he swings the
sword in a wide arc
over his head which Artor blocks easily not noticing
till its too
late the dirk coming in from below, getting a small slice on
his
leg Artor grunts and grabs the scorpions arm with his free hand
holding
him in place he stabs him in the gut with his sword.

The
scorpion smiles at Artor and says "I still win." then falls to
the
street dead. Turning back to his brother he sees him lying
unconscious on
the street he picks him up and heads for home to
have their mother take care
of Bazan. Upon arriving he kick the
door open and yells for his mother she
comes walking out of the
back room carrying a bowl of herbs seeing Bazan she
drops them
and runs over to him. Artor places him on the kitchen table
and
Amania begins to examine him. 

Artor and his Gilf pace
around the table as Amania treats Bazan a few hours
of treatment
later Bazan wakes and shakily sits up and Amania says "Bazan
you
will live but will never again have the use of that eye." Artor
sighs
and thanks the gods his brother is alright as he begins to
walk over to his
brother he collapses. His mother and father run
over to him as Bazan slides
off the table and crawls over to
Artor his mother notices the cut on Artors
leg and a fine white
powder at the edges of the wound. She smells the powder
and
screams "NO!" Gilf asks whats wrong Amania says the weapon that
did this
was coated with a powerful poison. A week later Artor is
dead and buried in
the family crypt, Gilf walks into the crypt
and sees a note laying on the
floor infront of Artors tomb
picking it up he reads the note and begins to
cry "I'm sorry
brother Goodbye Bazan."
