The Break Of Marchosias: A Narrative Fiction

Improved Essays
Morning comes, and at the break of dawn, I see a very beautiful sunrise which can be seen from our camping spot. It motivates me to start the day, but before we get moving. I want to practice riding this creature, or horse I mean before anything else. We are in no rush to get to the heavens, and I am far from strong with the way I am now.

"Are you awake Marchosias?" I try to communicate with him, seeking help.

("I am. You want to learn how to ride a horse correct?")

"Right, I forgot that we share one mind, but would you teach me Marchosias? And teach me how to wield your power as well."

("One thing at a time. Otherwise you'd master neither of those if you rush forward recklessly. Calm your mind, and learn only one at a time. Once you feel

Marchosias."

("Nothing, let us move now before dusk approaches.")

Still curious of what Marchosias said in my mind, we head out in search for someplace we can hunt for food. Of Course challenges continually arose, as I did not have experience in shooting an arrow from a horse. "I just need a bit more luck, and we might actually get one."

After what seems like a very long time. We manage to catch three hares at best; but in return, I think I've gotten a feel for shooting on a moving horse, and it goes without saying that I need more practice.

Once we give up on trying to find more. We try to find another campsite since we're very far from our original location, since I do not recognize any familiar landmarks here, and thus we set up once again, and we begin cooking then eating the hares we caught, and feeding Sleipnir with the rations still left in his saddle bag. Planning on trying to find a town tomorrow.

~A day passes once more~

("Get up. Now!")

I am suddenly awoken by Marchosias's voice in my head. My mind still hazy as I woke up in the middle of the

Enter his stable. I am unable to find the words to say, and instead I rely on Marchosias to help me.

("Repeat after me, and say it to the man. Speak naturally.") I do as he says.

"Please take care of my horse, is i will come by again to pick him up later in the evening." I take out the bag containing the gold coins as Marchosias commands, and I take out 1 gold coin, presenting it to the man, still with a perplexed expression as we leave the building.

("Next would be the Inn, most importantly. It is the building with the sign hanging by the the top.")

I enter it not expecting this kind of sight. A woman stands behind the counter, the woman having a rather odd and bulky body not fit for her appearance, and the building is half occupied with people who drink a slightly gold-colored beverage.

The woman behind the counter speaks up loudly. "Hey! What's a kid doing here? Is there anything I can do for you boy?" As she speaks, the people drinking stop to look at me. The men are well built, muscular, some carrying weapons by their side, and som wearing a full suit of armor. They all look to me with with eyes of curiosity and slight

    (1)Most movies that I’ve seen that were based on a real story bored me to death, mainly because there was no big dramatic scene of teen drama or fighting.

    Ancient Heroism of Western and Eastern Culture According to Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, every hero shares the same typical adventure of the archetype.

The river of history flows slowly; every country and every era has its own heroine who is acknowledged in their own ways. In one story of the Bible, a woman named Judith in ancient Israel made the ignominious defeat of the Assyrians; an army bent on world domination.…
