Chapter 6 by Caesar25 Caesar25

How will the battle unfold?

God intervines (4 Piety)

Michael: My lady... I must say, never have I expected to see you at my side at such a place! I am happy you are my wife!

Lily: My lord... I am also happy I was sent to be your wife. From among all the nobles my father could have married me off... He sent me to you and I am happy for it! All I regret is that I haven't spent enough time with you... And I couldn't produce a son to you...

Michael (putting his hand on your shoulder): Lily... Don't blame yourself for something like that! We have plenty of time to produce a son! I am patient, don't think on such small matters now! Know, that whatever happens, even if we will never have a son, I am a happy man with you at my side! But now... Battle calls me. Be well, my lady!

He kisses you and mounts his horse. As they march out, you see they are outnumbered... Greatly... But there is no turning back. They must fight their way out of this. You return to your tent and start praying as hard as you can...

Lily: Please Lord above! Help my husband in this dire time! Allow him to return to me unharmed!

Michael and Erik cut down one heathen after an other, it seems they can get out of this alive. Lord Michael is surrounded... Erik arrives with a dozen men to help him. They all fight valiantly, but the enemies are too many... Your army loses more ground every minute... A horn is sounded, the sign for your army to retreat. But they are at the middle of the fighting. As they are making a fighting retreat, Lord Michael is shot in the thigh with an arrow... He falls on his knees... He is carried back to the camp... He is still alive, but can't walk... Erik stayed behind to allow his men to take him to safety, sacrificing himself for his lord and fulfilling his oath to him. You look out of your tent and see your husband bleeding.

Lady Lily (screaming): NOOO!

You rush to him... You see his wound is not grave but he needs to ba carried to safety...

Michael: It will be all right my lady...ehm... Don't... worry about me... You deserve to stay alive and live a happy life... Leave me behind and run!

Lily: Noo...! I want to live my life with you!...I am not leaving you behind Michael!

Michael (seeing your men can't protect the camp and longer): Erik stayed behind to save me... Now, I'll do the same for you... I have brought a few of my family jewels to give me protection... These will distract the enemy while you flee the camp...

Lily: Michael... I won't leave you here...!

Michael: Nonsense...ehm... I am... done for... don't die for nothing... Take care... Please Lily...

Lily (lifting Michael to his good leg): We are doing this together Michael... We will share the same fate today!

As all the horses have ran off already from the camp, you have to carry him on your shoulder while he can only use one of his legs. Soon a group of Baron George's men arrive to help you, they get you a horse to put you and Michael on and get you back to safety. God damn miracle that you both made it out alive!

What's next?
