the bed when one of Vogers broke into his house. He
watched him fencing with his father as each one struck the
other one’s sword twice. The assailant was stronger than
Reid’s father, and stabbed him in his belly that the sword
got through all the way out of his back. Young Reid
watched that from under his bed, shaking with horror, and
suddenly he became overwhelmed with sorrow for his
father. That happened again when the assailant stabbed his
mother to death, killed his two brothers, and then looted the
house without noticing the young boy under the bed.
The Vogers left after committing that massacre.
Reid was horrified by their excessive savagery and was
filled with pain, and hate. He was certain that no one could
feel the same way as he did because he had lost everything.
He felt that his life was over and meaningless. He did not
have any goal or purpose in his life except maybe to have
his revenge on the Vogers. He prayed to God against them
and asked him to provide him with a mighty courageous
knight to avenge him as he was too young and his tribe had
vanished. Hence, victory must come from another party.
After a while, God eventually answered his prayers well
and retaliated against his enemies when King Kendrick
came to the land of Maloms tribe and met with those who
were still alive. It was the first time for Reid to see him.
“I swear to God, I shall never sleep until I have
killed all of Vogers,” said King Kendrick firmly, filled with
rage as Reid looked at that strong courageous knight with
whom God had answered his prayers.
The king’s promise was fulfilled as he sent a huge
army, which punished Vogers by killing every single one of
them. With Vogers annihilated, all the negative emotions in
Reid’s heart vanished.
