"You will be White?"
"Always."
A pawn was moved forward.
"I have word of discontent in your ranks."
The move was matched.
"Exaggerated. We bicker, but share the same goals."
A knight leaped forward.
"And what goal does your wayward son represent?"
A bishop sallied forth to meet it.
"Strength, in the face of loss."
A rook was shifted.
"So, you have given up hope?"
Another knight entered the field.
"There is always hope."
…
"Your move."
"Pass."
Another pawn moved out.
"I have heard, from reliable sources, that the Brothel has a guest."
The first pawn neared the battle line.
"We were aware."
A knight leaped forward, and the pawn was removed from the board.
"Are you aware of the nature of his invitation?"
The bishop smote the knight.
"No."
Another rook slid out.
"It appears that a certain alchemical solution has remarkable effects upon celestials. If they are unprepared for it."
Unexpectedly, a pawn moved forward to block the rook.
"So it was not by choice."
Boldly, a queen moved forward.
"You thought it might be?"
A king was brought to the tower for safety, and the tower was moved to replace him.
"It was a possibility."
A pawn was lost to the rook.
"I see."
The rook fell to the queen's might.
"I doubt it."
…
"Your move."
"Pass."
The opposing queen was released onto the field.
"The shield maiden guards the cottage."
A pawn was moved.
"We were aware."
And was struck down.
"The axe-bearer has been removed from the field, after protesting to the field marshall."
Another took it's place.
"That we were not aware of. The reasoning?"
A queen seduced a knight, and caused his downfall.
"I cannot say."
The remaining knight quested for vengance.
"I seem to lack for pawns."
…
"There is a certain couple in Anhui Province, China. They live quietly, selling healing herbs of remarkable potency. The villagers appreciate their selflessness."
A pawn died.
"I am corrected."
A rook met the surviving knight, and fell before it.
"And …?"
But the surviving knight was no match for the queen.
"What the whore has, is not what the whore seeks."
A bishop moved to protect the king.
"What would make her happy?"
The queen struck the bishop down.
"The innocent child she lost."
The king retreated to safety.
"She has no more children."
The queen moved forward once again.
"Perhaps I am mistaken."
The King's loyal wife took down the opposing queen, who had not seen her in hiding.
"Or you are not. This area is grey to me. Mate in three moves."
…
"I resign."
"Good game."
"You will be White?"
"Always."
A pawn was moved forward.
"I have word of discontent in your ranks."
The move was matched.
"Exaggerated. We bicker, but share the same goals."
