SPARTAAAAAAA!

i just watched 300 on HBO. and yes, my ever-present childhood fantasy came to thought.

ever since i caught shows like He-Man, Sword in the Stone and played games like Ancient Empires, i've always had this dream that one day, i would awake and find myself in ancient times. ancient Greece to be exact.

yes, just like King Leodinas in 300, i would be a general/captain/soldier who leads his army to this massive, epic battle. i would be wearing a breast-plate of steel and a Valkyrie helmet (yes, i think its cool). no armor for my legs or i wouldn't be able to run or dodge but yes, cloth underwear. then i'd be wearing sandals, you know those ancient Greek kind. at my belt, i'd have a sword in sheath just in case. in my hands, i'd hold my trident (i've always loved spears) and my steel round shield (i trust in shields). on my neck, there'd be a necklace with an emblem i trust on it. with rallying crys i would gather my troops. and after all of them are in formation and we're standing before the enemy hordes, i'd speak words of courage and truth to them (this is my favourite part). oh yeah, and the sun will be shinning on me, like i'm basking in some glory, hahaha. so like...

"MY BROTHERS! today we stand at the dawn of a new beginning! a new age! ......"

and after that, i would raise my trident (yes, again. but that has always been my favourite ancient weapon) and roar, "CHARGE!"

then, me and my troops would crush through the enemy ranks. my trident stabbing through flesh and bone (ok, so it's a pretty morbid fantasy. but hey, can't blame a guy like me!) and my shield fending of potential mortal blows. preferbly, i'd win the battle and lead my army back home for booze and partying. but should i lose, i wouldn't mind too. if i die, i would die with honour. i would kill (morbid..i know) all around me before falling. and when i die, i'd be clutching my necklace. yes, that's how it'd be.

so yeah, that's my childhood, and still existing, fantasy of fighting in medieval times. don't ask me, i just don't think guns and missiles are as cool as spears and arrows.

ok. end of 300-inspired post. till next time!

SPARTAAAAAA!
