Maiden of the Apocalypse (White Speaker)
When my White Speaker miniature from Kingdom Death arrived, I was a bit upset that her right arm and dagger blade had snapped off. But, as I pondered the repair, I wondered if ti wasn't a blessing in disguise... "Maiden of the Apocalypse" I had been walking for three hours, that day, when I saw her. I was at the outskirts of what had once been Swindon. Survivors were few, around here, and I had stowed my shotgun and lowered my guard, not expecting trouble. I couldn't be sure what finally stopped me, but I looked up as I approached the rise below the A419 and there she was. In the dim twilight of noon, her pure skin glowed. The banner in her right hand flickered wildly in the perpetual wind and a blade gleamed steel and red in her other hand. Her face was covered, but I knew she saw me. Indeed, she had seen me long before I had seen her. She didn't need to speak. I turned away and began to walk in another direction...
