"And banished Iphor for all eternity, I've heard this story hundreds of times, Grandfather," Rendar continued.

"Rendar.", his Grandmother blurted out, slightly annoyed.

"I'm sorry Grandfather," Rendar cowered at the sound of his Grandmothers' voice. Just as his Grandmother was going to continue to scold him, the warning bells began to ring.

"Wake your sister, and run to the clearing," his Grandfather told him. "Yes sir," replied Rendar as he began to wake his sister Nala.

"Wake up, we need to go,"

Rendar took off like a shot back towards his village, using the starry night sky to light his way, jumping and climbing over logs and rocks as he ran as fast as his Kyph legs would allow. As he got closer to his village, he was able to smell the huts that were still smoldering from the fires that were set.

He made his way in silence to the place his home was and spotted his grandparent's lifeless bodies lying on the ground with arrows in their chests. He had heard tales of these arrows with black and white fletching, and red arrow nocks. These were the arrows of The ****. A group of raiders that wiped out everyone in the villages they came across. they took what they wanted, and destroyed everything else.

    William of Rubruck composed a sequential and descriptive analysis of his experiences during his journey to the Mongolian empire in 1253 CE. His conquest took place primarily to affirm that Sartach Khan and the other Mongol Khans were Christian. Throughout his recordings he is repeatedly overwhelmed by the religious, cultural, linguistic, and political differences between the Mongolian Empire, and Western Europe. As a Franciscan friar, his humble circumstances pose a challenge as he proves to be unprepared in his encounters with Captains and the Khans. With little gifts to bear, William is advised by the merchants of Constantinople that the captains and the Mongol Khans must be greeted with gifts, otherwise he will not be looked upon properly (William, p. 49). William embarked on this mission to deliver a letter on behalf of King Louis IX to Sartach,…

    Blood splattered to the ground, flung from the end of a longsword blade thrust in and out of the red man’s heart. Stumbling back, he fell to the earth beneath him, writhing in discomfort and pain. Such a descent left behind a resounding thud, though muffled by the pings and clashes of shield and sword and the screams of pain, agony, and terror. More red men arrived in droves, marching onward, firing a barrage of scorching arrows at the town, striking thatch roofs, the fields, and the trees. The quick strikes of boots on the ground echoed like drums through the still air. The sun shone on the blades of the red men’s axes and swords, blindingly bright, as it slipped below the horizon. Night was nearing.…

    Sitting in silence, they watched the grandfather clock tick eerily, mimicking the reverberating beating of William’s heart. The vision of dread on Edna’s face was overwhelming. The thought that William could die- from a scratch, gunshot, disease- after spending five nights, watching her husband suffer in pain.
