Blog #1 First six weeks Sept. 28 2012 The battle of castle Basron

It was late at night when it happened. The night patrol had just come back and now we had archers at the towers, acting as sentries. Meanwhile, I was in the barracks with the royal guards talking about the men at fort Cavell. The soldiers at the fort would stop at nothing to destroy our precious castle and take all our riches. A few minutes later it was my turn and with my quiver of arrows, a bow, and my trusty blade, I took up guard at the north wall. I was out there for hours and my shift was almost over when I heard it. A war horn blew and echoed through the valley. I took my telescope and what I saw was horrifying. I quickly screamed with all my might, “The knights from Fort Cavell are invading”. The castle was then filled with chaos. Soldiers getting their weapons, family’s finding shelter and archers were readying there bows. Once everyone was ready, men with torches came up to the wall to light arrows on fire. In a matter of moments, the sky was filled with arrows, booth from us and from the enemy. Down below the walls, knights were loading catapults and men getting ready to charge. Some of the men from fort Cavell were at the wall, the soldiers at the door charged out as the drawbridge was lowering, but didn’t see how well armed the opponent was. It only took a few minutes for us to fall back. While I was firing arrows, a horrifying thing had happened. //The enemy has broken into the castle!// put my bow down, grabbed my sword and climbed down the wall.
