Prologue
October 14th, 1066 A.D. The Battle of
Hastings
The battle for Britain was done. The
enemy had won. The fighting had lasted for nine hours, an unprecedented amount
of time. When it was over, King Harold lay dead, and William of Normandy stood
victorious over his slain enemy. However, for Willan, a humble Anglo-Saxon
soldier, the battle was still very much ongoing. Willan lay on the slick bloody
grass. He had suffered a blow to the head that had left him unconscious for
some time. But now, he woke to find himself surrounded by his dead comrades and
in a dire situation.
The Norman soldiers were walking the
battlefield, seeking out their wounded and killing any of the enemy that they
came across. His life meant nothing to them, and if they attempted to kill him,
they would learn the truth about what he truly was. Still, he had no choice. If
he stayed here, they would find him. If he got up and ran, it would mean a
fight he was not sure he could manage, and he would still face destruction. He
looked around as best he could. From his position on the ground, with the other
bodies lying around him, his vision was obscured. If he rose even the slightest
bit, he was sure that he would attract attention and probably get an arrow to
the head, just like his king.
Someone drew near. Their footsteps
rattled the fallen shields and armor. If he was going to move, he had to do it
now. His weapons were lost to him, and all he had were his feet. He jumped up,
but he was grabbed from behind and thrown back to the ground. A large armored
foot slammed down on his armor-plated chest, knocking the air from him. The man
standing over him raised his sword, ready to strike. Willan looked up at his
enemy’s face. When he stared into his enemy’s eyes, he realized that he knew
them.
“Marcus?” he cried, hoping he was right.
That his words would stay the man’s blade. For Marcus was not a man either.
Willan and Marcus were the same.
It worked, and the man knelt down by
Willan’s side and gazed into his eyes as if not completely sure what he saw was
true. Finally, he said, “Wit? Is that you, Wit?”
“It is, Marcus. It is Wit.”
Marcus stared at him again for a moment.
Then he said, “Wait here. I will not hurt you. Wait here until after nightfall
and I will come back for you. You understand, yes?”
“Yes.”
“Do not move a muscle. You need to act
dead.”
“I will.”
“I have to go report that all are dead
in this area. I will be back for you. Do not move.”
“I will not, Marcus.”
Marcus left him then. Willan lay there
and tried to think about the last time he had seen Marcus. It had been about a
thousand years or so ago when they were living together in Rome. Marcus had
been a soldier, and he had been Marcus’s servant. He had left the night that
Marcus had hit him and Willan had decided he couldn’t take the other man’s
anger anymore. He had loved Marcus, but Marcus…could Marcus love? He had loved
being with Willan. But did he love me?
