Three Headed View

It seems like there were two things that he was born for: War and Conquering. At last, Iraddi, leader of a blood thirsty warrior clan of barbarians, had finally found his opportunity to establish a legitimate kingdom. The massive Mount Tunjii stands tall before him, ripe for the taking. Its weakly Tunjii Defenders had put up a poor defense. The only obstacle which stood in his way was three brave miners that had defied all odds and had driven back his barbarian horde multiple times, but nothing could stop Iraddi's small, frail, twisted body, with sunken eyes and a massive overbite from becoming king. With their back against the walls of their last fortified town, the three miners finally surrender. Though impressed with their bravery, Iraddi decapitated their heads and places them on long poles, as a reminder of who the victor was and what would happen should others try to revolt. These Three Lonely Heads, staring across a Field of Sorrows, would become a catalyst for a resistance movement against Iraddi, as well as a refuge of contemplation for the king. Throughout the remainder of the novel, these Three Lonely Heads serve as a focal point, a Three Headed View, on the actions taken on both sides, perhaps aiding in the telling of the history of the new Kingdom of Iraddi.
