SOLDIER OF HIRAETH'S ARMY
Heavy rain poured on the way to Luxen, the thunder reverberating around us. My feet were caught in the mud, this made it difficult to stride forward much less take a step. The commander was guarding a child, who was a new Regent, the wind made it hard hear. I saw a shadowy figure leaping from the trees, I shouted with all my might. "There's an assa-!"

I saw a soldier a scream out, I looked back to see a man wearing a dark robe shove his blade into the soldier's neck, blood ruptured from his veins, and the sound even amongst the wind was so clearly heard, a loud crack whistled through the air. "Dammit!" The commander shouted next to me. "Watch out for assassins!" The entire platoon looked out into the dark woods, fear coming into their faces, one after another soldiers fell, their moans were heard by the platoon behind us. The platoon charged up hill to help us, and the shadowy figure was nowhere to be seen, I scanned my eyes to ascertain my surroundings, I saw nothing, then blood spurted from next to my face, it was the commander of the platoon, the knife had grazed my cheek and had sunken into the commander's forehead. "Ahhhh!" I screamed in a mix of horror and surprise. My mind was in chaos, but I knew one thing: the assassin was after me, they knew about how I was crowned the new Regent, "how?" I thought, in such a short amount of time they had already found out. I saw him leaping off the tree and in my surprise I fell of my horse, he flinched and fell to the ground, clawing at me with his dagger, I drew my sword and stabbed him in the neck, my hands jittered, and the sword fell from my hands, I collapsed. This was the first man I had ever killed.
