Author's Notes: For yet another "What if the Lucavi won?" AU. Written for Algus' birthday.

They are marching under the same banner again, and as before, both are cold. When Algus is shown the fallen general of the Northern Sky, he does not fall to any excess of feeling. He barely moves. The slight smile on his lips is one Zalbag cannot possibly register. It is only when they are alone that he has a word with his former commander.

"I hear you are more a thrall than I now--that you cannot fight save when ordered?"

There is no reply; none is expected.

"My condolences. It is a sorry thing to be another man's weapon."
