Moments that suck

He had fought through a horde of guards, beasts, and one black wizard. Now all David had to do was to cross the empty court chamber and stab the emperor where he sat on his throne. It had been easy to enter he reflected that one open servants door had been all anyone could ask for. He passed through the doorway he had been hiding behind and made a break for the emperor. Half way to the emperor about 1/10 of the royal army stepped out from behind the marble pillars that dotted the gleaming chamber. The emperor looked at him with a superior air and asked before you die mongrel, tell me how did you gain entrance? Still shocked by the guards David replied, a servants door. The emperor raised an eyebrow turned to a centurion that had come to sand behind him and said, told you, pay up Alexander. The prisoner? Asked the man called Alexander. Kill him replied the emperor. Davids last thoughts were, crap, this sucks.
