A heavy rain accompanied by arrows is pouring down to our carriage.

Shoook! Shook!

The arrows keep on coming one after another.

As the arrows come in contact with the carriage, debris of pierced wood falls to the ground. Some arrows had successfully penetrated to the wall and landed an inched miss onto the soldier head.

Fear can be seen in the two soldier's faces.

Their skin is pale as a dead man. They can't even move properly as their unnatural breathing pattern can be heard

Heyah! Heyah.  Throw everything that's heavy!

Faster! Faster!. You two. you prick bastards! load that bow with an arrow and fire it to the enemy! For God's sake! Are you not a soldier!.

As the Captain shouted at the top of his lungs.

Tension can be heard in the captain's voice, he maintains his composure and manage to make some judgement

Though both soldiers had just finished military training yesterday, their first actual combat is far greater for them to endure.

The two of them tried to shoot, but their hands are shaky and cannot aim properly. Some arrows are fired, but its accuracy is great off.

A heavy infantry is chasing us. The sound of  horse galloping  is like a death alarm. The  muddy poodles splash as the horse run straight to it. Unsheathed sword sounds are being heard from every corner.

Don't let them get away! Scream by the enemy.

Keep shooting the arrow!

Forward!

One of the enemies sharp shooter was waiting at the top of a mountain, he stretches the bow string and tighten his grip on the handle, the tension can be felt as the string bends the bow's limb. He slowly moves his arm horizontal pairing the speed of carriage and the aim of his bow. He calculates instinctly and made some judgement. He predicted the path that the carriage will go to and aim for that predicted spot .As the carriage got nearly 1 meter to his predicted spot he let go of the String.

Twang!..

The arrow head pierce through the wind, droplets of the rain splutter as the arrow passed through it.

Swooshhhh. The arrow directly hit the carriage and peirce through the wall

When a soldier tried to throw something off of the carriage at the moment he stands up he felt pain in his ear.

Ahhhhhh! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!  He heard a bell like ringing sound as he scream loudly.

The arrow hit his ears and stock to the wooden post of the carriage

Ahhhh. Bastard! Captain help me! My ear! The soldier shouted.

He tried to pull the the arrow, but it won't budge.

Kalamlan! Cut his ear off!

captain shouted to one of the the soldiers.

But captain kalamlan responded with a shaky voice.

I said cut his ear off!

Yes, captain. He approached the other soldier and cut his ear off despite the begging of that soldier.

The  enemy tried to go on board the carriage  some even jump from their horse, but at the end they failed

The captain keeps on whipping the horse to run faster. The whip hits the horse's butt

heyah! Faster dumb fat pigs!

The horse gallops faster  and faster, pulling the carriage faster than the chaser. The carriage keeps swaying from left to right as the wheels hit some rocks, and run over to the unpaved roads

As a treasurer I can only sigh. How on earth did this thing happen. Fear left my body as age comes by but for this Lord its unfortunate to die in this manner.

It's already midnight and the rain is pouring down. We had manage to escape  from our chaser. We entered the town of Piaong it's a town where prosperity is unheard of.

I pressed both my hands to stop the bleeding from the wound of the Young lord. How unfortunate for this man to be stabbed by his brothers. The lord's face paled as and his body temperature begun to drop.

The village chief had been awakened by our sudden arrival. he gets out his house carrying a wooden club and tried to say a word, but the captain cut his way into the village chief and show the token of the young lord family. We quickly entered a room made of wood and bamboo and there we lay down the Lord.

Prepare some hot water and clean cloth!

I can only clean the wound and prevent blood from rushing out to the young lord's body.

Cold his body is cold as an ice! Village chief ! Does this village have any doctor?I asked, only to received a sorry face.

I'm sorry your honor, but this village is the outskirts of town and only once a month a doctor come by. Village chief said.

Then we can only wait for what's going to happen next. I said.

After 3 days the young lord miraculously awakens and little of disarray for this 3 days I did not let out a single glimpse of worry .

Where am I? The Lords question.

You're in the town of piaong my lord. I answered

Who are you? What's happening?

The Lord asked again. Fright and confusion can be seen in his face as his voice becomes shaky.

Young lord have you forgotten what had happened 3 days ago?.

I'm Alfred your personal consultant and your treasurer.

I have begun to worry. People sometimes get traumatised when they get into a life and death situations and the brain tries to forget that memory for once safety. I have begun to explain the chase we had encountered and suddenly the Lord has begun to quiet for a little while and after a couple of minutes he has begun to speak something I could not even comprehend.

There's nothing!

The Lord has begun to pronounce words that even I don't know the meaning of. Did the Lord injure his head and now he act like a crazy person? I can only sigh.
