Can a God Curse be Broken?

Can a God's Curse be broken?

       Silver kicks his  great black steed in the sides making him race faster, the horses old leather armor moving like ripples in the water over his tone muscle as he race across the battle field the war had yet to start. Silvers hair was longer but just as light brown as 12 years ago no long a young boy of 17 but a man the pass 12 years were long and hard but he  miss The First and spent many long nights thinking about what he would do if ever they met again. He was determine not to fail, Sliver smiles as he presses The First body deeper into his chest, it had been 12 long years since that fated day when they first met when they became lovers under the great oak at the edge of the battle field. The First was a young solider about 14 he was made by the gods to be the first one to fall in battle the first one to die. Silver tried swallowing pass the lump in his throat remembering that day The First leap in front of the arrow meant for him Silver lived through that Great War. Now the dawning of another great war was upon them and Sliver was going to take The First out of the battle field in hopes that this would break his curse.

     Silver was breathing hard as he watches the stream drawing nearer if he crosses this water he would be out of the battle field and The First would be safe. But the Gods weren't about to let this happen Silver's horse reared up as he could not go any further. Silver pulls on the dark brown reins as he turns his steed then kicks him as they gallop alongside the unseen barrier that was preventing them all from crossing to safety. But as hard as he tried to leave he found The First was bond to the battle field "so we cannot leave? FINE" he shouts the last to the heavens and the gods that would be watching the battle.

    The First had stayed quiet this whole time he had been shock at first when this male had race up and hauled him up on his horse's back it took him only a few minutes to realize that this was Silver his lover from …….. To the First he had just seen Silver a few moments ago but he could tell by how much older his lover was that at least 10 years had pass by since his death at the last great battle. The First reaches up and touches his lover's face he smiles at Silver's start of a beard "You have changed my love" he was listening to Silvers pounding heart beat, it seem to be in rhythm with the pounding hooves beat. He wanted to tell Silver there was no way to save him no way to stop his curse but he could see by the determined look up on his lovers face his words would have a hollow meaning to them. So The First just laid his head on Silvers chest and closed his eyes he felt the love Silver had for him without him having to say a word.

     Silver had been racing back and forth over the battle field for hours it was getting dark out the autumn air was crisp and cold this battle was coming just before the winter's storms in the late fall. He wrap his cloak tighter around the boy as he walk his tired horse towards his tent the battle would come soon and he had failed not only that he had wasted precious time to be with The First. Silver slide off this horse as one of the stable boys took the horse to be rub down and fed Silver carried The First inside his tent and laid him down up on his small bed he had hope be long gone from here by now. He sighs and sits down at the edge of the bed and pulled off his boots. Laying down besides The First he stroke his soft hair as he look up at the ceiling wondering if anything could break this curse. He smiles as he felt The First stirring he look down into The First Amazing brown eyes and grins as the boy climb up on Silver and smiles down at him. Without saying a word Silver pulls The First shirt off him and stares at the boys smooth flawless skin pale as the moon light he touch the spot over The First heart were the arrow had come through during their last meeting there were no scars to tell signs that an arrow had rip this body 12 years earlier.

    Silver open his mouth to speak but found The First tongue in it he couldn't help but remember their last time together that Silver was the one in charge it was Silver who took the lead now it was The First he was moving fast perhaps he knew that his end was near. Silver help him remove his shirt as they kiss but Silver wanted to take control now he rolled The First over as he grins down at him for a while forgetting that just a outside the small tent was a army waiting for war to start. Silver kisses his way down The First chest as he slips the boys pants off then his own kissing holding The First tightly against his tan body, the pass 12 years seem to faded away it felt like their first night together all over again it was hard to believe it has been so long since they were in each other's arms………..

    By day break a tired drain Silver drags himself out of bed he sat in a chair smoking a pipe looking at the sleeping boy his hair covering his back like a silk black shawl he couldn't help but smile. He couldn't sleep still haunted by the fact he cannot save this boy from being the first do die when the battle began it would be hard to save any of his men but the fact if he could save them he would but the gods refuse to let The First be saved. Around noon Silver was dress walking along the river with The First he watches the boy's eyes dancing as he watches the fish jumping in the water. I was like watching a small child discovering the world perhaps in away The First was a child he never had the chance to grow up he was just born a solider ready to die.

   The First could feel the end coming he wanted to spend as much time with Silver as he could afraid that this may be their last day together even if Silver survived this war he might be dead from old age when The First returns again. He walk up to Silver slipping his arms around his lover and kisses him they walk back to Silver's tent but they never make it by the time they left the river. The horns of war were blaring.

   Silver grabs The First's hand and race with him towards the forest hoping he could hide him among the trees. but before they reach the forest a huge enemy solider rode up on a fierce steed, swinging a battle axe Silver spun The First around and race back towards the river but the enemy solider leap off his horse knocking Silver and the boy down grabbing a hand full of Silvers hair pulling his head back so he could slit his throat with his axe blade.

   The First grab a stone and spun around smashing it in to the enemy's noses knocking him off Silver. The huge solider leaps out and with his face bleeding he charges at them both battle axe swing. Silver grabs for The First but the boy Shoves him down just as axe swings low loping off The First head. Silver screams out in a rage pulling out his dagger shoving it between the enemy soldier's ribs into his heart he pulled it out stabbing him over and over again until his dead weight was too much to hold up any more he turns and looks at the boy watching his body vanish like it had 12 years earlier two of his own men had to race in and pull him to safety as he was still in shock by it all.

      Years spun by slowly at first then soon time flew by once again whispers of war could be heard over the land. The First walk through the knee high snow grinning he had never seen snow so deep. He made his way towards the rolls of tents looking for one soldier in particular. The First face lit up as he saw him Silver his hair was long and white he was still as beautiful his blue eyes sparkling in the morning sun. The First began to run towards him but stop short when a older female walk up to him handing his shield and sword they kiss then The First watches as three girls and one boy races up to him calling him father. The First look away he felt the sting of betrayal but what did he expect Silver to live his life alone in hopes there will be another war so they could steal a moment or two? He turns and walks away back into the woods making his way towards the battle field he stood with his dagger and sword in hand alone waiting to fall as the snow began to fall covering him in a layer of snow funny he could even feel the cold.

    Silver caught a glimpse of The First as he race off towards the woods he called out but the boy didn't hear him his family all turn to look for the boy they all heard so much about. Silver lead his family through the woods as they came up on the battle field it was snowing they watch The First standing out in the middle of it alone. Silver put his hand up to quiet the others as they watch Silver's eldest son 15 year old Arrow Ridge walk up to The First. Silver heart sank at first then he smiles he had given up on seeing First again and married now he was old and had a family he no longer could call himself The First's Lover they all watch the two boys.

   Arrow thought this kid was crazy standing out in the middle of the battle field all ready waiting for it to start sighing thinking perhaps the boy was daft he walks out towards him "You know kid if you stand out here like that no coat on your going to freeze to death before the battle even begins" he slip his coat off.  Arrow reaches out and brushes the snow of The First hair and shoulders then slip his coat around the boys shoulders he look in to The First Green eyes "hey cool you have Green eyes I love green" he blushes. He tilts his head and studied The First "Have I seen you somewhere before you look familiar?"

   The First looks up at this boy he look like Silver perhaps one of his children "no we've never meant" he looks away from him his heart hurt too much right now. He just wanted to be the first so he could die the pain was too great dying never really hurt. But seeing Silver with a family hurt, it hurt so much right now. He didn't want Silver's son seeing that he had been crying he just wanted to left alone it was better when he had been alone.

  Just then it dawn on Arrow who this boy was, he glances around as he talk to him "So do you like the snow kid? I do I love the snow making snow people building forts ever have a snow ball fight boy?" he sees his father and the others in the forest spreading out. He could feel it now death was near drawn to this boy called The First.

    Silver signal to his family to spread out to be prepared, he watches Arrow talking to The First knowing that he was in good hands Arrow was well trained they all were. Silver signals his men who signal back as they all spread out looking waiting.

   The First couldn't believe how talkative Silver's son was the boy never shut up but he answers him quietly "no never really had time to play in the snow to know if I like it or not" he sighs he could feel it was getting closer to the time for him to die he closes eyes for a moment but he just saw Silver there still young still his when he open his eyes he saw Arrow who was now inches from his face. He glances away not wanting to look at Arrow who only reminded him of Silver.

    Arrow just grins at The First his father was so right about the boy he was beautiful he was something else he was glad he was the one who found The First. Arrow watches his father once he nods his head then he knows it would be time. But there was something that he wanted to do first, something he needed to do before it all starts. Arrow hair was blowing it was long and a dark brown than his father's he was taller than his father but just as tan. Arrow took The First face into his hands turning it to look up at him, holding it firmly but genteelly as he leans down to kiss the boy.

    The First open his mouth to protest but just like when he first met Silver he finds this boys tongue in his mouth he growls trying to push him away. But he just like his father was stronger than The First and held the boys hands behind his back as he kisses him. The First heart races he didn't want this he didn't want another not now but he felt his heart betraying him as it gives its self over to Silver's son.

   Arrow couldn't help it he's been in love with The First ever since he could remember he didn't want to miss a chance to kiss him hold him touch him if they fail he might never get a chance to again. He breaks their kiss and whispers "I'm sorry it's just…….." but before Arrow could tell The First that he has loved him forever a huge horse white horse leaps up out of the snow just a short ways away from the two boys. Arrow didn't need to look at his father to know he was nodding it was time. He grabs The First and races off with him towards the woods as his father's warrior's race out after the warrior.

   The First tries to pull away from this boy he had a job to do "let me go I have to go back" he tries to kick and slap this kids off him.

     Arrow growls and spins The First behind a tree and pins him there "Knock it off kid" he dives to his left pulling The First down on top of him just as the warrior on horseback battle axe slices through the tree that The First had just been on. Landing in the deep snow it falls over the top of them both hiding them for a moment giving Silver and the others time to surround the warrior.

    Silver roars out as he blocks the warriors down ward swing aim at the spot where Arrow and The First had vanish. "Give up I have figure it out it has taken me a life time but thanks to The First I had a life time to figure it out" He yanks back on his battle axe the one Silver pick up form the last battle where this warrior had appear trying to kill him and The First he went after Silver that day jealous of the his and The First love. Silver now stood over the huge warrior watching him pick himself up off the ground Silver had manage to dismount the warrior but he still stood about 7 foot tall. Silver blue eyes traveled up the mammoth size warrior he grins "You see there is a first to fall in ever battle true but what no one thinks about there has to be The First To Kill and that my friend is you" Silver spun his battle axe it was huge but he's had the pass 40 years to learn how to wield it he has taught his family how to fight and how to protect The First.

    The First To Kill eyes flash red with anger this was the one who dared to love his First Kill they were meant to be together not some horny farm boy who stolen his beloved The First he roars out and attacks Silver driving the male backwards he wanted to kill him for touching what was his then he will kill his son the one that darns to take is fathers place in The First's heart. He kept driving his battle axe down but this male was blocking each swing he was using his old weapon that he had drop on the battle field 40 plus years ago…………

     The snow was making The First panic he felt trap he wanted out of the snow he open his mouth to scream. But found Silver's son mouth covering his again when he scream out it was muffled by this boys mouth on top of his own he could feel the boy pulling him deeper into the snow away from the sounds of the battle he needed to get back there and fast. He fought with the boy wanting to scream out for him to let him go.

   Arrow was finding it hard to hold on to The First he was surprisingly strong, but he had been training all his life for this they all had his mother join Silvers band she was the first to believe in his dads story then when they got married his father taught them all to fight and how to protect The First the battle was not between two armies no it was between his dads army and The First To Kill. Arrow held The First down so he wouldn't leap out he kiss him to muffle his screaming he wrap his arms around him trying to hold him and keep them both warm the snow was cold against his body but The First was very warm………..

  Silver felt his arms beginning to feel like lead he had been able to block the warriors down ward swings but he could not swing back to busy blocking each blow. He signal his men who race in attacking the giant as soon as the warrior turn to swing at them Silver swung his battle axe around then downward cracking open The First to Kill's chest plate and chest. Silver watch as the giant began to topple he yells out for Arrow to get out of the way the giant was falling towards where Arrow and The First had fallen.

    The First slide his hands around the boy's waist as he rolls them both over just as the giant hit nearly missing the both by a foot. They both toppled out of the snow bank, they were laying in the opening now kissing.  

     Silver cleared his throat if you two can pull yourselves apart I think it's time to go home now" he pulled The First up off from Arrow given the young boy a huge hug he wishes he had figured this out all those years ago he hands The First over to Arrow then hug them both he walks over and picks up his battle axe they all watch The First To Kill vanish. Silver watches Arrow putting The First down as he leads him around where The First To Kill had been they all hope that the curse was broken  when The First To Kill became The First To Die…………………….  

     Arrow took The First hand they were following his dad Silver and his mom Victoria the others were ahead of them as they reach the river's edge there was a small hand bridge there now. Silver smiles as he took his wife's hand and crosses the bridge they stop and look back to see if Arrow could come with The First was the Curse broken or was all of this for not? Arrow step up on the bridge he pulled The Fear up with him so far so good they began to walk forward. Just then The First to Kill appeared grabbing The First back handing Arrow sending him flying.

   The First screams as he sees Arrow slamming down into the deep snow he begins to hit and kick the creature that held him knocking his helmet off The First screams out then faints. They all stared The First to Kill look like the boy but more of a man………….. Arrow leaps up as leaps on the giants back he stab him in the neck with his dagger grabbing The First he leaps down holding the boy up  watching The First To Kill topple into the river breaking the barrier as his blood spilled into the river. Arrow kneels down with The First on his lap he looks him over to see if he was hurt before he smiles and carries him over the bridge………………..
