Knight Richard's adventure
Chap. 25: Getting to know our friends.
July 2nd,1005 Late hours of the night
Finally after much disorganisation the meeting got started. I finally meeted Traveler in person. He seems like a good man, appears to be extreamly educated in history, which i find strange,yet facinating as he used to be a servant. We didn't talk much though as we had to talk about other more important issues.
We talked about many things. We will begin our march to Andrinople no earlier than tomorrow, so we won't wait for the supply wagons. Xuca also presented a very joung men, looked like a noble. He said he was the son of Frankish knight, of whom I have heard he was another great hero of the mercian campain that falled in battle. If he inheareted the great leadership his father had, I'm sure he will become a great King someday, speaking of which the things aren't clear as to why he didn't took the throne of Mercia when his father died. I might ask Xuca later.
Also we decided what to do with Sir Dobber, who Have been talking and screaming in his sleep.Accordign to the nune that has been taking care of him, his shoutings could only mean that he was been visited by demons because he had commited a sin by taking revenge on Sakim. But I don't know what to belive anymore, is there a God? when so many men have been draw to this war, when so many have died, when so many have lost their husbands,sons,brothers fighting these tyrants who call themselves "great kings" while they starve their peasants with hideus taxes.... Why can't "God" put an end to them and save so many innocents? IS he somehow trying to test us and our will, for some purpese beyon our understanding?? Or is it because we only come to this chaotic earth to complete our destiny? Questions that allways seem to hunt me,yet I can't seem to find an answer too, but I know one day I will.
We talked of many other things that I can't recall now, most be that I'm too tired, it has been a long day. For now the camp seems quite, but tomorrow we wil continue with the meeting. I will propose the idea to train the army to be more disiplinated and maybe we can come up with some strategies to fool the Greeks. Also I have notice that our army is mainly, if not all composed by infantry and cavarly only. We need some archers and that's another thing that I will propose tomorrow. I might be able to ask my king to send Bows from Anglia,which we buy from the welsh skilled bowmakers, but for now I will rest, tomorrow awaits a long day.
Please don't take my comment about religion personally, I'm trying to bring soemthign into the story, you guys will understand later.
