27 September | Alexios of Sparta
That was a battle the likes of which I have rarely seen. Perhaps my grandfather's final battle, his 300 Spartans against the Persians, might have been of the same ilk. I can't say I like being injured but I am being treated kindly and if I must be confined, then it is not such a hardship to spend time with such fine fellow warriors. Doubtless we would all like to be elsewhere though!
