The Last Battle On the Wall Top

The wall that the warrior must climb was not only steep, rough and slippery, but the weapons of all kinds were waiting on other side to kill the warrior. Although, there were warriors so called enemies much like the warrior who climbs the wall they glare at the climber from other side of the wall, with bow and arrow in hand to pierce in climber’s heart, with hatchet in hand to chop climber’s head, with sword in hand to stab the climber’s throat, the climber kept climbing on the wall that is steep, rough and slippery as if treasures more precious than his own life is there on the other side of the wall. When the climber came to the top of the wall, the flying arrow dashed over for his life, the spear thrust his heart, the hatchet copped his forehead, the sword stabbed his throat, and, when the climber shed his blood and fell with ghastly cry a warrior other side of the wall also fell, and when these two lie upon one another their blood ran down on the wall in the setting sun with the color of crimson that is redder than the glow of the setting sun.
