Ximena knelt down besides the majestic bed. She could no longer hold back her tears. Her hands were wrapped around the lifeless form of the Cid. The cruel wound had finally extinguished the light which had burned bright and guided the people of Valencia through the dark times. Their beloved Cid was no more.
Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar, El Cid had commanded the Spanish conquistadors against the invasion of Yusuf‘s Berber armies. A mighty leader he was, who fought with 邪恶力量 vigour and whose energy was transmitted to all who fought beside him. Many legendary battles he had waged and won. Undefeated in all wars, he had led Valencia against the invaders from Africa. Though heavily outnumbered, the Spaniards were successful at keeping the raiding Almoravids at bay.
That was, until tragedy struck…
Darkness had fallen upon the alcazar. The sun had disappeared behind the dark clouds. The mood in the citadel was grim. The North wind was blowing, bringing with it the hollow echoes of the battle cries. The battle had waged hotly in the fields below. But the 日 was drawing to close and arms had been put down, but just briefly. As the new 日 rises, the battle would resume…
In Peñíscola, the princely citadel of Valencia, on the 墙 over looking the battlefield stood a lonely figure. His 心 was heavy as he pondered over the desolation. The plains were littered with blades and arrow, and corpses of fallen animals. The dry summer 草 was coloured blood red. The bodies of the deceased were taken away to the camps, to be buried with dignity and full honours.
迷失 in thought, the man did not notice a few people making their up from the fields. As they approached the wall, they perceived the figure standing atop the 墙 and called out.
“Greetings Champion Xavi!”
“Greetings my friends!” exclaimed the man, recognizing them instantly as messengers of the Cid‘s host. He also noticed that they appeared somewhat battered. That couldn’t bode well, he thought. ”What tidings do 你 bring of the Cid?” he asked.
“The legion was ambushed 由 the enemy near the river crossing” The messenger said, memories were fresh in his mind and fear showed on his face. “It was a rout, the enemy archers fired from all directions. We barely managed to escape but the Cid has been wounded. They’re bringing him to the citadel”. Blood was ebbing away from above his left eye, a deep gash clearly visible.
“You bring ill news my friend” the champion said. “But 你 have done well. Seek the healers in the West Tower. Ask them to be ready to receive the Cid. They should be able to treat your wounds.”
The messengers departed leaving the champion alone with his thoughts. A shadow appeared on the face of Xavi. The Almoravids were aggravating their assault on the citadel. Peñíscola would hold out till 《勇敢传说》 hearts guarded its walls. But if something was to happen to Don Rodrigo, their hearts would be weakened and Peñíscola besieged.
Xavi looked gazed into the east, in the direction of the vast Mediterranean. The tide was high and giant waves were bearing down upon the shore. The air suddenly seemed heavy and the skies grew darker. His 心 became 更多 troubled. His thoughts now lingered around the fate of his beloved Cid.

poem 1:the world
the sun shines bright
there's day,and there's night
both are beautiful sights
this is the world
Winter,spring,summer,and fall

so there is no reason
for 你 to hate
seasons so great
we are all one
we need the sun
we need the air
we all care
about the world
poem 2:love
there is something above
we cant see it
we cant bee it
but we all know what it is
it is love
爱情 is what we need
to live,to breath
to be what we can be
we all need love
爱情 is power
爱情 is strong.
thats why 爱情 songs
are so very strong
Poem 3:run (this one isnt all that good)
in the sun

away from here
ill not be near
Something that will kill me
something that can be
so deadly and strong
and can kill me with a song
thats why i run
in the sun
i still remember 你 hum.
im sorry i must run.

I remember the times of the i 爱情 you's
and times when it was i hate you.
But 你 come back begging at me feet.
And when my pity defeated me.
and the sweet seranades, in our matching shades.
My rose collection, evidence of your effection.
The sheets unmade, from the nights 你 stayed.
The child in me, from the times 你 loved me.
The debt 你 owe, from using the word borrow.
The times i was scared, was the time 你 spared.
And this dress i wear, in which are people become aware, that 你 are gone, and withdrawn.
The memories i hold, they are written in bold.
my broken heart, from when 你 apart.
so rest now my love, up now from above.
and times when it was i hate you.

I'm sat at home
In my cardboard box
I'm scared to death
So I cuddle my socks
I hear the key turn in the door
Fear swells inside of me
My hope plummets through the floor
I peep outside my little box
In time to see my daddy roar
I'm worried now, I realise
Because he's angry I notice now
That what I'm seeing with swollen eyes
I don't know when I don't know how
It may be the last thing I ever see
This may be the last of me
I see his boots come closer, so I shriek
My bruises hurt 更多 than ever
He picks me up, I feel so weak
He shakes me now and calls me worthless
I just want him to 爱情 me
I just want him to know me
But the broken bottle is against my chest
And is thrust through my cotton vest
Into my heart, the pain is fire
I see myself as I float higher
Now my vision is rimmed with darkness
The end is near, I feel its presence
I just wish that I could tell him
I 爱情 him, but his 爱情 is dim
In my cardboard box
I'm scared to death
So I cuddle my socks
I hear the key turn in the door
Fear swells inside of me
My hope plummets through the floor
I peep outside my little box
In time to see my daddy roar
I'm worried now, I realise
Because he's angry I notice now
That what I'm seeing with swollen eyes
I don't know when I don't know how
It may be the last thing I ever see
This may be the last of me
I see his boots come closer, so I shriek
My bruises hurt 更多 than ever
He picks me up, I feel so weak
He shakes me now and calls me worthless
I just want him to 爱情 me
I just want him to know me
But the broken bottle is against my chest
And is thrust through my cotton vest
Into my heart, the pain is fire
I see myself as I float higher
Now my vision is rimmed with darkness
The end is near, I feel its presence
I just wish that I could tell him
I 爱情 him, but his 爱情 is dim
He gives me sight,
Saves me from evil's bite,
Holds me when I cry,
Always 由 my side.
My last breath is taken and 给 to him,
He saves me from the storm I'm in,
He saves me and calls me his,
Have him when I'm in a crisis.
耶稣 is everything.
Everything to me,
Helping me see,
Stealing my heart,
Oh how I hate being apart.
Stand here and be moved 由 him,
To feel him in my veins,
To feel him inside of me.
My friend,
My helper,
The great shrink,
I am proud to be part of his link.
Blown away 由 his grace,
Blessed 由 his mercy,
Oh how he carries.
Holds every tear in his hand,
Wipes away our sorrows,
For a better tomorrow.
It’s raining on my window pane,
Inside this house looks so lame.
I’m so funny, so bored hunni.
Nothing much to do but to be a horn dog,
Being bored makes me write in my log.
Are we counting up 或者 down?
Nothing seems to go around.
Boredom, 你 don’t like him.
Boredom, 你 wanna shoot him.
Don’t make that move.
你 get in trouble when looking for fun,
你 get so tired when the 日 is done.
Soon as 你 get in bed,
你 remember what should be done instead.
Just forget the problem.
Get a goodnight sleep and dream.
Forget about the boring adventure,
你 should’ve discovered something in nature.
Boredom, forget them.
Boredom, sleep before the morning.
