The Soldier in Red

July 25, 2009

I was a soldier, i was ordered by my superiors to go to a town to govern, so i went and bought my family with me. I arrived there and found the town to be in a disarray due to the lack of military support, i immediately dispatched request to send for men to help me govern and restore peace and order to this town. I soon found out that there were a lot of bandits roaming around the nearby woods and there was a another faction that was near this town the threatened to take over it by means of force, though i was not sure who they where yet, I remembered taking residence at a mansion located near an open field. I did my job and was able to restore peace and order to this town, i made peace with the local natives and found the bandits to be unreasonable so i didn't have a choice but eradicate them. As soon as security was restored within the borders of the town, i immediately built fortifications because it seems that i was expecting an invasion from the other faction i was talking about earlier. One peaceful morning I went out with five thousand men it seems and went to a fort of some sort to check its status, We passed by the native Indian village where i was very much on good terms with the chief. I went to the fort and found it utterly destroyed. I immediately realized that the invasion has begun and that i was a fool to leave the village with minimal protection, I immediately rushed back to the village along with all my men, running as i remembered it, as fast as we could manage. We arrived just minutes before the opposing faction and I saw them lined up in great battle formation ready to attack the village and i remembered they where all wearing a blue uniform. They where unaware of our presence as we hid ourselves expertly behind the woods. I saw some of our men which was left in the village take up their battle formations valiantly, brave even though greatly outnumbered. As the enemy drew closer so did i give the signal to attack by running first into the heart of the enemy. One by one i managed to stab, slash, shoot people, I saw then that we where winning... But then i woke up. In the dream i was wearing red, but i don't remember exactly what type of uniform it was
