Sur Vos Genoux

The dark clouds gathered. Was this an omen?

Some of the soldiers did their best not to turn around. The cries of other soldiers falling to the ground from the enemies arrows made them quiver.

Where on earth was their King? Why wasn’t he leading the army into battle?

All of a sudden, one soldier looked back in awe. A stranger appeared it seemed out of nowhere. He stood right close to the soldier’s side and then smiled.

In a flash, the stranger leaped into the air and then swung his blade. A powerful gust of wind blew across the desert plain.

The ocher soil rose into the air. Soon, the soil began to twist and swirl around like a tornado. While the soldier tried to duck and cover from the violent rotating dust, his eyes caught sight of something of a miracle.

His enemies screamed as they were carried off the ground by this man-made tornado. As soon as the tornado started to die down, the stranger appeared out of it.

The soldier gasped. Who was this guy?

Then he saw the stranger raise his sword once more and exclaim, “Sur vos genoux!”

The soldier fell on his knees and almost cried. Was this the end?

He slowly raised his head when nothing happened to him. The stranger burst out laughing. “Sorry about that.

“I didn’t mean to frighten you. The King sent me to make sure that his army would be victorious!”

The soldier nervously chuckled. “Oh,” he said. “Okay.”

Rays of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds like bolts of lightning. The sun came out & the soldier rose to his feet almost crying, “Thank you for coming to save us!”
