Bran Mak Morn: the Last King
“She was captured and brought along with the Assyrian army.� So the girl I had carried before me on a half-wild Assyrian horse, the girl who had slept in my arms, was a princess. I marveled that I, Lakur, a common archer in the army of Carchemish, should been priveleged to so much as touch a person of royal lineage. I felt diffident about carrying her as I had but there was no other way so soon we were under way, the girl sitting the horse sideways, her arms about my shoulders. And when she smil...ed I felt strangely at ease.
Without incident we reached the Hittite camp. The princess I gave in charge of a general, who was pleased to aid her, as by doing so we might gain an alliance with Cicilia.
Then I sought out the company of archers of which I was a member.
Ammon expressed his wish to join in the battle so I asked him, �ith whom do you wish to fight? Are you a bowmen, spearman or what?� �ive me a sword,�he responded, � sword and a horse and let me fight among the horsemen.� I had him accompany me to my captain, Gurom, to whom I told Ammon� wishes.MoreLess
