A traitor whose name will never be know had a message to the leader of the persians. I didn't know what to do anymore, i knew that if we kept this fight going that I might not have to see the cities burn to the ground, but if we kept this thing going then i know that everything would be destroyed. When i think back to before all this started and think about how happy my family was i wasn't to breakdown and cry. So sadly I had a sacrifice to make, for me, my family, and my people.
