Rain was pouring over a military encampment and in the medical tent in the center of the camp a wounded man was laying down in pain and next to the man was tall man with blonde hair and blue eyes who looked almost identical to the man on the bed
"James I don't think I'll live to another sun rise" the wounded man said
"Henry you mustn't die because if you die I'll become heir, I don't want to king." Said James nervously "all you need is rest brother and you will be fine by tomorrow."
"James I have a question."
"what is it?"
"why do not want to be king."
"I think that sounds like a lot responsibility, also I am content just doing nothing except drinking and fighting." He answered honestly
To that Henry simply smiled and slowly went to sleep and James left the medical tent and went to his own for the night
With thunder roaring and lightning flashing in the sky Henry drew breaths slowly before drawing his last one and with a strike of lightning he was gone replaced with someone or something else.
-where am I?- he got up -why am I bandaged up-
he was hit with a sudden and painful headache as memories flooded in burning themselves in his mind
-who am I?- he thought -Am I a prince?-
"Your highness you should rest." said a man wearing white and gray robes and had silver hair tied back into a ponytail "You've been through quite the ordeal." The man said
"Who are you?" asked the prince who was still trying to remember everything from his past life

"I'm the camp's physician Dr. Lee." He replied
"Do you know what happened to me?" he asked again
"Yes your highness you were shot by an arrow and it pierced right through your shoulder." He said
"How did I get here?"
"his highness your brother carried you here." Dr. Lee answered
"Just tell me how long ago this happened?"
"a few days ago sir but you should sleep now"
He nodded and laid back down.
when dawn broke over the encampment James rushed into the tent
"Doctor the Zephyr army has caught up to us!" He took a quick "Get the wounded to safety! Hurry!"
"Yes your highness!" Dr Lee said making haste
"Brother are you alright?" James asked
"Yeah miraculously I am quite Alright."
"that's good. Do you think you can fight?" he asked
"I believe so" I responded as I went get my armor on which was similar to Gothic armor.
"Good I'll assemble the men"James said as he left
Initially struggling to put on the armor a squire eventually helps me put it on and gets me a horse a black destrier. I rode to where army was and went right next to my brother. Overlooking the position we had roughly 12,000 infantry most wearing chain mail and brigandine armor armed with mostly spears and axes and 5,000 knights and mounted man at arms mostly in heavy plate armors all carrying lances. the opposing army was a horde of people to our right was a bunch of naked or half naked warriors armed with spears and axes in the center they were at least fully clothed and a wide variety of weapons and to our left the infantry had chain mail and plate armor armed with almost entirely swords and finally in the back were archers totaling to around 50,000 men, 20,000 archers and 30,000 infantry.
"What a bunch of barbarians." said James
"Yet you lost to them." I said "That's why I had to save your ass"
"and I dragged you to a doctor." he said in response "We are even."
I sighed
"Have our knights position themselves on the left." I order
"but Brother would it not be more advantageous to position our elite troops to the right."
"On the left the infantry hold nothing but swords they can't do much against our cavalry it'll be a breeze"
"Very well I'll pass on the orders and rearrange the troops." James the rode away
a couple hours later everyone was in position, and the Zephyr Soldiers were just in front of charging forward.
