At the city gates, Earthshaker and Ol' Two-Horns watched the army depart.
"Old Chieftain, I'm torn," Ol' Two-Horns muttered. "I used to be firmly in the Third Prince's camp. I thought Pallas was the perfect fit for the next Giant King."
"And now?"
"Now, I'm second-guessing. The Fourth Prince... he had the same fire My lord did back in the day. Plus, rumor has it he carved his way out of hostile alien territory. He's been baptized in blood and war. Honestly, I wouldn't mind him sitting on the throne."
Ol' Two-Horns scratched his head, his limited brain capacity struggling to figure out which royal to back.
Smack! Earthshaker backhanded the back of Ol' Two-Horns's head, leaving his ears ringing and his skull throbbing.
"You thick-skulled idiot, what the hell are you stressing about?" Earthshaker scoffed. "A grunt like you thinks he has the right to pick a side? You've got to be kidding me!"
Politics was way above Ol' Two-Horns's pay grade.
