****THIS FIC CONTAINS MAJOR MASTIFF PLOT POINTS****
Series: Strong [#8] Title: Resolute Rating: PG Event: 100D Word Count: 100 Summary: Gareth has made a promise, and from a very early age Sabine has taught him to honor his word. For her, this time, this last time, he will honor her request. Warnings: Mastiff Spoilers...
Eventually, the day comes.
Gareth wishes he could put it off. Sabine’s eyes hold his.
It’s for the best, this way. Sabine has chosen her successor, and Gareth knows the man will serve him well.
(She, standing next to Gareth, looks all too pleased by this. Gareth thinks that she must have been waiting for this for years.)
Bowing low before him, Sabine of Macayhill and Princehold lays her sword at his feet for the last time. Her successor, the new Captain of the King’s Guard, does the same.
This is how the service of the last Lady Knight ends.

It's beautiful, though. I can't wait for the next fic. I love the last line. (...did I just make a haiku? lol)

I agree about the last line; it's very poignant and almost dreamy.

I love this, it's so painful--there's a hint that Sabine's grown too old to do it, by now. And there's also the suggestion that Gareth's unnamed wife has been working about to arm-twist Sabine and drive her from the position :/
