“The first commander is getting restless, we need to hurry,” a fair-haired Kingsman commented to another, peeking inside the open door of the last home near the entrance to the grain field. He locks eyes with a disheveled young maiden holding on tightly to a frightened little boy when entering first through the singed door.
“Go away and leave us alone!” the disheveled maiden yells, stepping backward ‘till she couldn’t move any further. “My son and I have already been questioned by your men.”
The other Kingsman enters and advances to a hand-made straw bed that sat in another corner of the room. He flips it over with ease, seeing nothing underneath and sat it back down on the floor.

“Something isn’t right about this place. I can feel…” he pauses, tilting his ear up. It was a brief moment of silence before he spoke the words, “Someone’s here.”
“There’s no one else here,” Sara maintains in a firm voice. “Now leave my home!”
Francis stares at her closely to the point their noses are touching. “I do not believe you,” he snarls, showing his teeth. He scans the cramped room, seeing nothing but a small table, a fire pit, and a tossed bed on the floor.
“Why are you doing this?” Sara cries. “Haven’t our people suffered enough cruelty from you and your men?” She then looks to Richardson and said, “I’ve told you everything, endangering my son’s life and mine. Please, I beg you. Leave my home.”
Richardson felt Sara’s pain and sympathize with her plead. “That’s enough, Francis.” He pointed to the toss bed, and the dirt, pieces of straw, and leaves scatter on the floor. “There’s nothing here,” he said, grabbing Francis’s arm.
A scuffle begins between the two Kingsmen.
Francis frees his arm, forcefully shoving Richardson against a wall. His eyes are glowing a solid gold color with amber highlights. He growls, “Don’t ever put your hands on me again,” releasing him from his grasp, taking a step back with his eyes still

Round one of this season's Rutherford County Championship goes to R-S Central (4-3, 1-3), who got past Chase 26-7 last Friday. It was Central's rushing game led by Tyrese Tate that led them to four touchdowns on the ground and well over 250 yards in that category. Meanwhile, the Hilltoppers defense allowed just over 30 yards rushing on the night. Chase (2-6, 0-5) was their own worst enemy with penalties and just not executing when in dire need of doing so.
"If my men are too scared to return without Hannah Curtis, I will happily let Miss Curtis kill them. There is no room for cowardice in these ranks, boys. I, however, am no coward and an honorable warrior will let me go free back to my Queen." The Commander sounds disgusted as he raises his voice to address me, assuming I'm somewhere near him. Which is true, obviously, yet he can't be sure.
The two men made their way back the way they came until they came across a pair of maids who took the king away to his room. Kragen watched with cold yet amused eyes. The king grew weaker and weaker every day but not a shred of remorse was given to him by his so-called friend. After all, it was all part of his
“Yes, it will be fine trust me.” We get to the door and I carefully opened the door that was defiantly years and years old. We walk in and it's so dusty.

“What are you doing here?” She heard her mother hiss angrily, “My husband is not
The soldiers wearing armor, exclusive to the king Royal guards begin to execute the orders given to them, and the king is alone, free to do his work, but he hears a defeaning roar from a distance within the city. He covers his ears. "What in the world was that!?"
"Knock knock," I hear coming from the door. I open the door carefully to avoid alarming any other rebels at this hour of the night. Lincoln bounces through the doors with armfuls of food and supplies.
“I am sorry for what I did with your husband. As you can see – my hus-band shuts down. He’s hard core. He does not show love and when he rapes me it hurts,” sad Gladys. Both Racine and Rebecca hugged Gladys from their sides of the huge black leather couch. Racine had intended to release everybody “You’re a good girl Racine,” Gladys said. “I was so proud of how you took care of ICE. Your mother thought the world about you,” Gladys stated. Rebecca, still disappointed about how she was represented at the news conference, apologized for the first time.
“Don’t move,” Thorn’s voice echoes from the front of the destroyed room and both men stop. She appears out of the rubble, behind them with a gun ready.
According to Literature: A Portable Anthology, “characterization means the development of a character or characters throughout a story” (Gardner 1338). Many times in life we as people tend to look to our peers for acceptance. Usually many obstacles try to distract us from certain achievements for various reasons. For example, the short story, “The Battle Royal,” demonstrates how the perseverance of one African American male allows him to achieve a personal goal. Also, the narrator’s anticipation plays a major role in the accomplishment of his goal. In “The Battle Royal,” the Narrator strives to gain acceptance from his oppressors. All the quotes within this character analysis which support my thesis will be
