Words used (P4d): farm pulled draw voice seen cold cried plan notice south sing war ground fall king town I'll unit figure certain field travel wood fire upon slowly north himself covered wind rock listen Oh fact scientists course decided though language heat
The boat-plane flew south and landed upon the ground in a field near a farm. They went inside, and a dark figure whose face could not be seen said, “Are you cold?” and he pulled up a chair near the wood fire. “Please,” said the figure, whose face could not be seen. “Sit.”
Bill was certainly cold and fell into the chair upon a blanket.
“We have travelled from the town,” said the English scientist. “The king will certainly fall.”
That's when Bill noticed the sound of someone singing. It was a beautiful voice, singing a song of war – so beautiful he almost cried.
“The king will never fall,” said the figure as he came closer to the fire and slowly pulled back his hood. “I am certain of it, and I'll show you why.”
“Is that a fact?” said the English scientist.
“We, the farmers, have a plan,” the figure said, drawing near the fire, “We have decided a course of action.”
Bill saw a red scar stretch from the man's left eye to his mouth.
The heat of the wood fire was warming Bill's hands. Outside, the beautiful voice continued singing, though Bill could not understand the language well. Something about a certain town in the north.
He covered himself with a blanket and listened to the patterns of the wind whistling against the rocks.
Suddenly the voice that had been singing so beautifully, cried out, “Oh! War! War! There will be war!”
