loved_by_twoThe first time I saw the Sarmatian knights, I was a young child, just beginning to learn the ways of the forest. I was learning how to track when I came upon an encampment.
It was full of boys that most couldn't be much older than me. They looked scared and upset. They also looked like they were dreadfully unhappy and out of place.
When I asked my father about them later on that night, he explained to me about the Romans and how they took young Sarmatians from their home and forced them to fight for Rome. They were from a line of elite fighters and they were hard to defeat.
This bothered me for a very long time. I didn't like the idea that these young men were being taken unwillingly from their homes and being forced to fight for another country that wasn't theirs.
Those faces stayed with me for a long time after that day. Some of them I ended up fighting many years later.
One of those young men grew up to become someone I fell in love with.
