I awoke on a grim and foggy morning. Ten inches of snow laid on the ground, and snow still drifted delicately down. My tribe, the Amorites, were all still sleeping. The visibility was but a few feet, and the atmosphere seemed strange. Something was brewing, but even I did not for-see what would happen on that dreadful day. As I stood outside breathing in the misty air, a piercing scream suddenly broke the silence. I sprinted indoors to grab my shield and sword and took off in the direction of the scream. My shield was the most famous of the Amorite tribe. My symbols, the cross and the symbol of fall, were displayed proudly upon it. My name gleamed across the top in a glistening gold. The scream came from the north side of the village, but

When I, along with a hundred or so Amorites, arrived at the location of the screams, we found ships docked on the shores. The ships belonged to none other than the Danes. Our tribe had a past with the Danes. They had destroyed our territory two times in the past. I could not let that happen again. This time, they had captured one of our own, Katrina, and were holding her captive because they knew we would try to rescue her. We knew that as soon as we went down the hill, a war would break out. They never showed mercy for others, and were known for destroying everything in their path. We had to keep them contained at the base of the hill. If they entered our land they would surely decimate it before claiming it as their own. We decided to split up and invade from every point around their ships. I looked around and everyone was staring unblinkingly at me, waiting for the go-ahead. I glanced down at where they were standing around Katrina, tormenting her, and knew that we could wait no longer. I looked at each of the Amorites around me and nodded. We flung ourselves over the hill and took off at a mad dash toward the …show more content…
I knew I was the only one that could defeat the Danes because I was the only one in the Amorite tribe born in the fall. This gave me incredible powers that no one else in the tribe had. I could extract people with my shield, but I rarely used my special powers. Today, however, called for the use of my powers. I charged at a mass of Danes with my shield pointed in front of me. The force caused them to be swept off of their feet and thrown into the air. I continued weaving my way in and out of the Danish people, throwing each of them back into the boats in which they had come. They had traveled from a nearby island in which they inhabited. When the Danes had been shepherded back into their boats, I used the force of my shield to guide them back towards their island. When they were out of sight, I glanced around only to notice that I was the only Amorite remaining. The Danes had killed all off the men willing to help me fight. I knew that I could not reflect solely on that. I had managed to keep the Danes contained at the base of the hill, and by doing so, spared so many lives in our tuath. However, that is a day that forever tore a gigantic piece of our tribe apart. That is the day we lost so many innocent
