Again the rotten scum charged. Charles was ready this time, though. He lowered his spear to where it was shoulder height. The barbarians charged right into the row of spears, Charles and the rest of his regiment were already braced for the impact. As body after body felt the sharp penetration of the metal spear tip, Charles' heal dug deeper and deeper into the moist soil of a family farm. Blood spilt into the small stream that watered the fields of France, slowly turning the icy water red. He heard is commander yell out orders to hold the line, but it didn't seem like it would be possible against the horde that kept pouring onto his spear.
After hours of fighting, his noticed the line broke to his right; and, like blood into the stream, the Celts poured through the crack and into the regiment, breaking the form. Immediately Charles dropped his spear and reached for his blade that hung at his hip, but he was stopped. The Celt in front of him grimmed as he pulled out the rusty bronze from Charles' abdomin. Charles dropped to his knees, gasping for air. All his life he had enjoyed the uknown luxury and had not noticed until now how precious the air was. Charles fell, face first, into the muddy dirt. As the dark overcast sky began to fade, and his heart beat dim, he heard the cheers of his comrades, and the end of fighting. Had it been worth it? Had the war against the Celts been worth his unnoticable statistical life?
