CH.1 The Field (Pt.II) Outside the town, about 10 or so miles from it, we knew of a weird base that had been set up by men dressed in muddy clothing. Our fathers had told us not to go anywhere near those places and I had caught glimpse of tall men carrying guns around a couple of times. Percy's theory was that these were bodyguards protecting our village from his father's enemies as they wanted to capture him for ransom. Since a lot of nearby village knew of his fame it was necessary to have heavy weaponary surround the village strategically to fight enemies in case of an attack. The other day I heard Sifar talking to my father about our village being a strategic position for rebels and how the base helped us survive the ongoing war between the rebels and the king. They were 'Amereeks' who had come in to help us survive the war. As days went by it was difficult to gather much of the trade items from nearby villages and we had to resort to giving out some supplies to the batallion. The rebels had slaughtered people who refused to give them shelter and food in the name of "JeeHaan" that they were fighting. No wonder Percy needed all this protection, these rebels sounded dangerous. #TheFinalOver #Ch1 #CalmKaziStories #ThumbSizedStories #Ep11 Click on #TheFinalOver for all chapters.
