[ESP/ENG]The Ink Well Writing Challenge | The Saxon -El Sajon
Sometimes being right leads to a dark and lonely end, I learned that from the iron and fire that left my body full of marks and these marks remind me that my bitter and lonely end is coming.

I knew from the beginning, that Saxon would only bring trouble. Not only because of his way of reaching us, but his look told me something.  How much I regret that I did not insist more that this man was not to be trusted but... with his actions he deceived all my brothers.

From the first day he wanted to show that he would be the most faithful of men. He gave us information, he sacrificed men of his former master, together with my own he killed many men who in the past shared the table with him and who raided the sheep villages with them.

But men are easy to deceive, especially when battles and celebrations full of mead and prizes accompany the looting and long days at sea often confuse the men. Everyone fell before the deception, from my brothers in arms to my lord who, with the passing of time, also believed in his story of betrayal and deception before a lord that, with time, we ended up putting under our sword.


The night of the betrayal was when we least expected it. The time had passed, our ancestral enemy was grass for the worms and I, only worried because the mead will never run out. It was at the least thoughtful moment that the war horns sounded... But it was not ours. The battle began before I realized, they were quickly among us, mutilating and slitting the throats of my men, but... Someone was missing, among the blows of axes and shields, I could see that someone was missing, my brothers were falling like flies, but still, someone who was always there was not there, something was out of place. It was missing... It was missing.... The Saxon.

Very late everyone understood that I was always right, when they saw the Saxon with his bare chest for the first time since he joined us and on his chest we saw the tattoo of the Chosen. Those clan destroyers, who in recent years have attacked and destroyed the clans that go against their twisted gods and... That Saxon was always one of them.


The struggle became more intense and it was clear who would be the winner, our lord had just fallen and there was no longer anyone to serve. With our axes we opened a way to escape the imminent end, many fell... But a few of us managed to escape. Now the few of us who managed to save ourselves are camping in the mountains and I, although I cannot retake the lands that until recently I called home, will not be able to live under this sun in peace, until my sword ends the life of that dirty and creeping Saxon.

A veces tener razón conlleva a un final oscuro y solitario, eso lo aprendí por hierro y fuego que dejaron mi cuerpo lleno de marcas y éstas mismas me hacen recordar que se acerca mi amargo y solitario final.

Lo supe desde un principio, ese sajón solo traería problemas. No sólo por su forma de llegar a nosotros, sino que su mirada algo me decía.  Cuánto me arrepiento de no haber insistido más en que ese hombre no era de fiar pero… con sus acciones engañó a todos mis hermanos.

Desde el primer día quiso demostrar que sería el más fiel de los hombres. Nos dio información, sacrificó a hombres de su antiguo señor, junto a los míos asesinó a muchos hombres que en el pasado compartieron la mesa con él y que asaltaron a los pueblos ovejeros con ellos.

Pero los hombres son fáciles de engañar, sobre todo cuando las batallas y las celebraciones llenas de hidromiel y premios acompañan a los saqueos y los largos días en altamar suelen confundir a los hombres. Todos cayeron ante el engaño, desde mis hermanos de armas hasta mi señor que con el pasar del tiempo, también creyó en su historia de traición y decepción ante un señor que con el tiempo, acabamos poniendo bajo nuestra espada.

La noche de la traición, fue cuando menos la esperábamos. El tiempo había pasado, nuestro enemigo ancestral era pasto para los gusanos y yo, solo me preocupaba porque el hidromiel nunca se acabará. Fue en el momento menos pensado que los cuernos de guerra sonaron… Pero no fueron los nuestros. La batalla comenzó antes de que me diera cuenta, ellos rápidamente estaban entre nosotros, mutilando y degollando a mis hombres, pero… Alguien faltaba, entre los golpes de hachas y escudos, pude ver que alguien faltaba, mis hermanos caían como moscas, pero aun así, alguien que siempre estaba ahí no estaba, algo estaba fuera de lugar. Faltaba… Faltaba…. El sajón.

Muy tarde todos entendieron que siempre tuve razón, cuando vieron al sajón con el pecho desnudo por primera vez desde que se nos unió y en su pecho vimos el tatuaje de los Elegidos. Esos destructores de clanes, que en los últimos años han atacado y destruido a los clanes que van contra sus retorcidos dioses y… Ese sajón siempre fue uno de ellos.

La lucha se volvía mas intensa y quedaba claro quién sería el vencedor, nuestro señor acaba de caer y ya no había a quien servir. Con nuestras hachas abrimos un camino para poder escapar del inminente final, muchos cayeron… Pero unos pocos logramos escapar. Ahora los pocos que logramos salvarnos acampamos en las montañas y yo, aunque no pueda retomar las tierras que hasta hace poco llamaba hogar, no podre vivir bajo este sol en paz, hasta que mi espada termine con la vida de ese sucio y rastrero sajón.
