A Warrior's Redemption

by Guy S. Stanton III

  Sebastian heard the clatter of glass breaking against the door and a brief smile touched his lips. Melancholy soon returned, however, when he stepped back into the bright world of the ballroom, which was still in full swing. He quickly located his contact messenger and closed in on her. Once more back into the fray, perhaps for the last time.

  The familiar thrill of danger once more coursed through his old tired bones and Sebastian welcomed it. This might be his last battle, but it would be his greatest achievement yet, for God and country.
