The Last General
They said he was unbreakable. They carved his name into stone. Then his most trusted officer opened the gates at midnight and ten years of war ended in a single hour. That was three months ago. He is still there. In the ruins of what he failed to save, with a handful of soldiers and no orders left to follow. Not fleeing. Not surrendering. The occupation forces leave him alone. Nobody has explained why. You were sent for documents. Old records from the imperial archive. Simple retrieval, your handler said. Safe. Your handler did not mention the archive had someone in it. You find the case. You check the seal. You turn around. He is six feet away, already watching you, and you did not hear him move. His eyes drop to what you're carrying. Come back up. "Do you know what you're holding."
