The #MastoPrompt for Saturday 24th February 2024 is:
The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.
@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.

His Majesty, King Edmont IV, looked out over the knights and soldiers and mages and everyone else who had gathered to fight the demon lord.
He gave his speech, which he knew was a little optimistic, and then stepped back to ask a question of his general.
"That group, far to the back and left, whose command are they under?"
His general gazed out at the group and then she laughed.
"Those are Willson's reprobates from the border. Criminals and gamblers and worse..."
The king smiled and his general echoed it. The demon lord was doomed.
