The next day…..

Janna walked the fields of golden wheat. On top of the hill she stopped to look at her castle. The cool wind blowing through her hair, she stood to contemplate the future of what is to come.

A renegade from the distance, but at close range, coming near field close behind her, an arrow aimed at her about to shoot.

Sean looked into the distance, suddenly becoming aware of the renegade. Sean, with his arrow aimed right at the enemy. “Janna-Get DOWN-NOWWW!!!!!!!!”

Janna, abruptly look behind.

The renegade’s shooting the arrow at her.

Janna, with widen eyes, quickly ducked from the arrow fast approaching, but instead, the arrow hitting another renegade in the chest in back of her. The renegade falling to the ground quickly Sean, released his fingers from the string , the arrow flying through the air, shot hard at the enemy, boldly hitting the other renegade as the enemy fell to the ground.

Janna look up then stood to see the results. Suddenly, the sound of people in the distance echoed as she quickly turned to see what the commotion is. A mass of commoners running toward the field to escaped a small army.

King Colin on his horse comes forth boldly out from his knights making his way to the forefront, then halts. His knighted soldiers all line up in front of them.

Janna, in question. “What does he want?”

Sean, in answer. “I suspect for you.” Sean turns to his people. “Close the gate!!! Men, mind the fortress!!! The gate collaspes with a loud closure as the gather of soldiers in protection, lining them up in front, side to side leaving the center row open, then turns to hold his position.

Colin seeing this,stalls. “ I’ve come for my bride to be wife!!!”

Janna, spreads her arms out to her sides in a ’come and get me’ gesture, then turns to walk down the center of the soldiers.

Colin, taking his sword above his head, then quickly gestures the sword down to indicate a move as his solders move ahead, the battle between two kingdoms as the first row of his soldiers going after Sean’s soldier with a first clashing commenced, some men on both sides falling to the ground.

Janna, continuing her treading down the center.

Colin, on second swipe of his sword, signaled the next set of his soldiers to attack as they came with a growling hollar towards Sean and Janna’s soldiers, bashing hard into each other as more knighted soldiers on both side fell to the ground without motion.

Janna, half way to Sean, continued her treading plight to him.

King Colin, with his striking down his sword, in furious constraint as the last set of his soldier ran straight at the third row of Sean’s soldiers with a bursting last vigor of warring battle, but fell to their own demise.

Colin, dismounting from his horse, set his sight upon his now deceased soldier knights, fell to his knees in defeat. Then looked up to Sean and Janna.

Janna, making it to the end of the two set of lines, turned to stand with Sean as they stood on the hill watching the outcome of the embattlement.

Colin, with angry wry mouth, pulling himself up onto his feet, taking his steps backwards, turn to leave back to his own kingdom.

Janna, standing next to Sean, stood upright in honor to the many deceased soldiers in circle formation.

Sean, taking a fiery torch, looks upon the deceased soldiers, then in honor, places the tip of the torch to each torched pole until he reached to the other end of the respectable soldiers as the flames disburst higher of red heat. The ignited flames getting hotter, as the flames spread to the bottom of the poles then to the ground giving way into each soldier’s own marked grave. Their burial cloth showing their heraldry.
