The Veteran

Here is the second in my group of four. The Veteran, I wrote this little bit about him:

"You need the line held? This is the man to go to. 'But he's only one man,' y'say!? Pah! Listen, he's seen more battles than the number o` times ye shit yer pants as a wee lad. If somebody can do it all by hi`self it is him. Hordes of Orcs, armies of Zombies? He's fought `em, and what's more, he's survived every one of them. While your daddy was quailing with his knees a`knocking he held the front line time and time again, comrades dyin` round him and blow bearing down upon him. Aye, and he lives to tell the tales, he do. Not that he would, mind you, he just gives you that stare that strikes right through ye, aye, that tells the tale enough. Yea, only War will collect the soul o` such a soldier, mark it!"
-Retired soldier of unknown regiment-
