The sand seemed to retreat in fear as the men clad in steel armour trod upon it. The crowds parted as the foreign men climbed the crumbling stone steps that approached the palace, a single strong soldier clad in thick armour considerably different from the group who had so uninvitedly approached the palace stepped forward and halted the group from proceeding. “State your business in Macedon!” the guard yelled menacingly. “We are simply here to negotiate with King Phillip” The leader of the group
A Tale of Two Mammals: The Analysis of How to Make it in Society Connected by the delicate branches of the tree that sprouted from the constantly expanding lineage of the Mammalian family, the hedgehog and the armadillo are also separated by millions of years of evolution.

The Modern Knight Beep—Beep the alarm sound in a messy room. No one would imagine how messy the room is. A helmet bulkle on the chair, breastplate, vamplate, pauldron, all over the floor. There are few empty beers under and on top of bed. There are no electricity applicants, sofa, or phone.
