Chapter 1 ambushThe caravan passed in front of them. A whistle like the sound of a bird came out of the forest. Tristan recognized it as the signal, he nodded to his brother Cade and they pulled out their bows and notched arrows. Cade notched two arrows. Tristan pointed at a large man with an axe, Cade chose a man driving a wagon full of prisoners and the captain. Tristan whispered to his brother " one two three " , and they loosed there arrows.
Tristan missed but hit the mans arm disabling it, Cade's arrows flew home the captain fell with out a word , the other man screamed as he fell from his seat on the wagon .
The big man yelled at all the men next to him "get them" as he pointed at the bush , where they were " run " Cade muttered under his breath.
They took off running as fast as they could zigzagging to avoid the arrows of the Irish bow men. ten men on horses rushed off after them but could not keep up through the trees after half a mile a clearing came into view the horse men were close behind them now. Once they reached the clearing Tristan yelled fire then a storm of arrows came flying out of the trees killing every man on a horse, then turning around Tristan and Cade with three hundred men ran back to the caravan and a desperate battle ensued. The big man who Tristan had shot at earlier found him and swung at him with his battle axe at him, Tristan barely dodged it and pulling out his swords swung at him twice missing both times ,then the big man swung his axe sideways Tristan stepping back to avoid the blow he tripped on a rock and fell backwards onto his back the big man seeing his chance stepped on his chest and lifted his axe hi in the air , when a dagger flew into the back of his left leg right behind his nee cap casing him to fall over . Tristan jumped up and took off his head with one blow. Tristan nodded at cade who ran off. Tristan grabbed a key off a dead mans body and unlocked thirty wagons full of men ready to fight. Before the Battle had started they had been out numbered two two to one know the odds were even.
