Retribution

I'm going to kill you because you killed my brother.

This is what some try to do. This is what some fail to do. This is what I wanted to do. This is what I tried to do. This is what I died doing. It doesn't matter whether you're a Pawn or a King. A piece can be taken at any time. All it takes is a well-executed move. Everyone dies in the end. Even if you momentarily escape through some contrived means - memory loss, hiding, or even switching to the other side - there has never been a life that did not end in death. And chances are, you were knocked off of the board by the Black King.
