Bit by bit, I came close enough to touch the warrior. I stood directly ahead of him and stared hard at his
unmoving, blank eyes. My gaze then diverted to see the rest of him. His prominent facial features were
very different to the soldiers that stood to either side of him. His stance and aura oozed loyalty and
discipline. He appeared to be a tad bit shorter than me but nonetheless it still made me feel intimidated by
his presence. By the army’s presence.
I slowly brought my hand up from my side and lifted my index finger. I slowly got closer to his chest. My
heart was beating a mile a minute and my mind was in overdrive as I contemplated my choices.What
could happen, I thought as I placed my palm flat down on the cold clay structure.
What could possibly happen?
