Living with the Mongols
November 30, 2015
First:
Peace-Tranquillity-Joy.
Men tend to horses and crops.
Women construct crafts for the village.
Children frolic in the village center.
Second:
Shaking-Thunder-Realization.
Men search for weapons.
Women calm children.
Children panic, then sprint home.
They knew what was coming.
Third:
Destruction: The most powerful bows of time used with flaming arrows tear through homes.
Agony: Men lay on the ground for hour before they perish
Pillaging: Mongols take what they want. Burn what they don’t.
Men. Dead.
Women. Dead.
Children. Dead.
