"Justice" from Hyades

Hopefully all of the mistakes in grammar have been corrected, here...


And such was the law; one must certainly always pay his dues. If not he himself, then perhaps another who is ill of fortune and least likely to question authorities. Another, another...
A less fortunate other.

Poor young man. Confounded by his alleged crimes, he struggled with great effort to know remorse for his unlawful, unfamiliar deeds--which were recounted in great detail by the public court--though he himself remembered none of it.

This humble guest to Castleton from the surrounding Hylian country, was condemned to die by the hands of justice.

Palsied with instinctual, mortal fear, he rattled his shackles at the stand.

The near-destitute spectators from above, removed from the misfortune below by barred windows, trembled with a similar intensity.

    "Justice", indeed.

    I might make a fuss with all the usual questions - "Who is this young man?" "What crimes is he being executed for?" "What are the circumstances that brought him to this place of accusation?" "Who is the actual criminal? Anything to do with the beau monde as mentioned in the last post?" "et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, inserting a slew of exclamation points and question marks disproportionate to the question but lacking in the department of fan enthusiasm?!?!" - but I think we can all do without that for the moment. The summary in your FF.net profile at once partially answers and thoroughly challenges my questions and assumptions and predictions, so I'll lurk in anticipation.

    I love how you create sympathy for the young man with a few, carefully written sentences. His mute confusion strikes me even more than his unjust jailing; the attitude, too, of the crowd, is striking, as though they share his confusion and know of his innocence. Beautiful contrast with the attitudes of Zelda's counselors and the beau monde (whom I could see, either them or their counterparts, presiding over and administering the "justice" under which this character suffers) in the last post.

    It's interesting, too, how the young man's confusion might even lead him to falling in with the misnamed and misapplied "justice" - your wording suggests that he's not fighting the injustice of the situation, but himself for not accepting the situation, neither ruing nor remembering his supposed crimes.

    Now that is intriguing. Looking forward to reading more.

    And now I'm gabbling and perhaps have been very silly, so I'll shut up now. =D
