Sage - The Greatest Fool, #1

A Hero falls. And before his head rolls, he will utter a wish. One that will allow rebirth in a world without heroes. After decades of servitude and leadership to a single cause, a worn hero finally awaits to meet death. No more of his allies remain, not a single general that stood at his side after every battle, nor a single soldier of his fearless men. Today, he alone and the protected remain. And upon such day, the very people he and his comrades fought and died for throughout the many lands of Argo now do nothing more but wait in silence.
Wait as the end to a long fought war finally comes to a end. And when his head falls and victory is secured, he will offer a final wish."If I am to rise again, may he be less a fool than I."His wish will be granted. Along with a reminder of the harsh truth that one world's victory today may cause the end of another tomorrow.
