(Speech is in Spanish) "Quick, Get her inside the church" An old greying black man with a dirty priest shirt and collar, pointed to the biggest shack amongst the hundreds of make shift houses outside the capital of. The three men carried a screaming woman and lay her down on a blood stain worn carpet. "What happened ?" the priest queried as the three moved away equipping AK rifles, which were holstered while they carried her. "I see" he saw as the three men left that she was screaming because she was pregnant and the baby is on the way. "Father, pass me thy strength" he recited as he did a crucifixion gesture with his hands across his body. The Hispanic lady in labour reached out for him to calm and as servant of the Lord he did what he could. "breathe, everything is going to be alright, my child" he encased her hand in his and kissed her upon her forehead, as she passed out from the pain.1642 South Warwickshire, England

To begin with King Charles the First decided to raise moral by riding in front of the troops. "Do you ever think? We are on the wrong team" Lord Goring chortled as the war council heads looked on bewildered at there leader.
"Better a dictatorship, then a Democracy" Prince Rupert answered as he fed his black tamed poodle a piece of raw meat.
"Do shut up Rupert! Jacob would you do the Honours" Lord of Lindsey erupted as Jacob Astley addressed the troops in prayer.
"O Lord, Thou knowest how busy I must be this day. If I forget Thee, do not forget me" which he followed promptly with the order "March on, boys!" But before they could a hale of ranged missiles descended from the sky which ensued a battle between the archers. "My King?" Jacob addressed the returning King.
"Rupert Immediately Counter." Charles Tried to control his horse.
"Not Him Milord, I should do a better job." Lord of Lindsey gritted his teeth at the Kings Prague native Nephew Rupert.
"You will not insult my prerogative, by questioning me! Understand!" Charles' temper flared due to the fact that this war is because of those who question him.
"Gorling and Jacob take yourselves to the foot of the hill and hold the infantry tight, Lindsey position pikemen to stem any attacks on the Kings elite guard, my King advance at your discretion, I will take the cavalry to the only flank and prove to Essex my superiority" Rupert ordered as he kicked his steed and trotted to the flank.
"Yes My Prince" Astley replied as he cantered off.
"Jacob leave the fighting for me" the jolly general chased after him.

Lindsey saw Rupert de-horsed from a roundhead champion. "For King and country" Rupert withdrew his rapier blade and quickly cut the opposition down. Lindsey saw this as his only chance to do away with him.
"Rupert all because you sound English doesn't make it so." Lindsey charged at him with his lance.
"Robert what are you doing?" Rupert had to think fast and launched his blade through the skull of the horse while dodging the pike held by the lord. "Robert I beg you! Don't do this!" Rupert was pounced upon by Lindsey who now drew his own rapier against Rupert who was unarmed. "My Lord I am pleading with you." Rupert tried again.
"Stop your whining, My Prince!" Lord of Lindsey sneered as he drove the blade through Rupert. "I am the General–in–chief yet the army holds arms for you!" He spat as he withdrew his blade and turned away coldly.
"Robert!" Rupert roared tackling the Lord to the floor and using the sash around Lindsey's body, as do all members of the royalist army, choked the life out of the man savagely.

"Fifteen hundred foot soldiers, three hundred large cavalry and 100 hundred cannons"
"and we have our six thousand fatigued soldiers some still injured from Roundway down and eight siege cannons." Rupert seemed far away. "Grandison, Wentworth, Belayse Go to the north and set up encampments there me and Maurice will attack for the south, we will have their heads." Rupert seemed fired up now.
""
The siege was long and tiring with Rupert riding his horse backwards and forwards uplifting morale while his four main generals led the armies in the siege, Maurice had attacked first and subsequently being pushed back first but this allowed Grandison to attack hard severely wounding himself in the process leading Rupert to him to help with the tactics which Grandison struggles to give due to his injuries.
Rupert arrived and demand to be led to Grandisons position which was well within range of the walls but Rupert was a solider he didn't care as he road getting shot at by the fortification guards.
"MY PRINCE!" Grandisons cried as the Prince fell to the floor. "Rupert?" Rupert just rose from where he had fallen. He kicked the horse which was dead, Bullet right threw the eye.
"Grandison, Pull your men back, Wentworth has breached the walls with Belayse following, Trevannion and Slanning will join them with some of the reserves while Lunsford will come here and help you back to safety. But Moyle and has been sent to Maurice leaving Hertford to be the last reserve brigade meaning you might have to fight again if there commander, Colonel Fiennes puts up a good fight." Rupert said to Grandison as another horse was brought to him. I'll see on the other side" He nodded and charged in the direction of the breach.
""
"You DARE call for parley after that" Rupert spat at the surrendered colonel. "so be it, Hertford put him in the dungeon with his legions and send out the ransom." Rupert turned followed by Maurice. "Speak brother, I can feel you want to." Rupert said when no one else was around.
"Why did you order the reserves in, you got everyone killed" Maurice was upset.
"Brother I know you are aggrieved by my decision but come on, with out the extra men, my Generals would of died, so what if the lieutenants done their duty to be sacrificed. For THE KING" Rupert screamed the last bit slurring up spit.
"Say that to the families of Moyle, Slanning, Trevannion and Lunsford who need to be informed that there soul provider is dead." Maurice screamed back
"Or how about to Belayse and Grandison, who probably would of died if the reserves hadn't of arrived when they did" Rupert turned away "Five hundred men dead, is a god send for capturing a parliament navy as well as Bristol" he started walking away.
Maurice saw a stunned Wentworth. "Prepare the men for Oxford, we must see the king."
1101 Alamut, Iran
The Big man in the alley knocked on a low wooden door, were a robed man answered the door. "Yes" his gruff voice queried.
"I am here to see the master" his jaw was dis-aligned due to years of fighting.
"What is your name young sir," the gruff voiced replied.
"Ghazi" he looked dead at the old man.
"ah, a warrior name, born to be a conqueror" the old man let Ghazi in, who needed to duck to get in. "I'll get him for you." The robed man hobbled off.
As soon as the man left the room a Gavrok Spider demon leapt from the roof on to the big man, he tumbled trying to crush it but was slightly troubled by the fact that the big spider has an extra appendage that was trying to cut his chest open. "Damn Bug!" He shouted as he used his strength to slam it into the nearest wall and toss it onto the clay stove which was already boiling water burning the spider to into a green coloured broth.
The robed man came back in and went straight to the boiling water. "My master is just finishing bathing he will be with us shortly." He turned and smiled at Ghazi. "would you like some?" The man took a sip of the broth. "It's good." The man smiled.
"No thank you" he kept looking up making sure there was no more demons.
"Really you must have something." The man followed Ghazi's line of sight to the roof.
"I'll have some water please." He said quickly.
"Of course" the man hobbled off out the room and returned swiftly with some steamy water. "Enjoy" they both sat down awaiting the master. The man was drinking the spider stew and Ghazi was sipping the water then Ghazi started to feel a bit off and the room started spinning.
"Samad who has called for me" a very well tailored woman entered to see Ghazi and the robed man now known as Samad sitting down.
"Master" Samad nodded to the woman. "This warrior would like a word" he smiled sinisterly.
"Let us talk then, Warrior." She ordered harshly but Ghazi couldn't concentrate as the room carried on spinning until he saw a few more Gavrok Spider demons attack from the ceiling.
