Tremorus is a splendid city atop a mountain. In ages past, there was a particular punishment, reserved for the most vile of traitors and those who had otherwise severely offended our rulers.
It's called the dragon's flight.
First, you must have your target at your mercy. This is a method of execution, not an honourable death in battle.
You will cut slits beneath their shoulder-blades. If needed, you will break away their ribs, outwards, beneath. This is to create a gap. A pair of wounds large enough that you can reach in and pull their lungs out.
If done correctly, this will not kill them. But I am told the agony is uncomparable.
When your enemy has their lungs out their back, like stunted wings, they will slowly suffocate in their own blood.
So, having them thrown off the side of a cliff, to see if their new wings will let them fly...
It is a mercy.
Though, of course, through this pain, they will still have time to consider their lives, and their actions, and every moment that led up to hurtling through the air to a brutal death. If the cliff you throw them off is tall enough.
Tremorus touches the sky. Tremorus is tall enough.
I wonder,
can Ivan the Apostate fly like a dragon?
