Edward saw what was happening as the Wickshields attacked, but before he could respond, they had separated his band and had cut them off from the rest of the battle line. What a tremendous military machine the Wickshields were, and Edward could not help but admire their precision.

These Wickshields are not what Father had anticipated, Edward thought. And he knew then the whole kingdom was in jeopardy of being lost. He shouted encouragement to his men to hold ranks. He knew if they held on long enough, help would come. He then heard the war cry of Sauron Crestlaw and saw them charge in his direction. But a large line of troops had already flowed between them and the progress was halted for the time being. Edward’s troops were doing well against the superior numbers but they were slowly falling. Then they began breaking through the ranks, and Edward surged forward on his horse and eliminated them as they came through. They were holding their own when all of a sudden two broke through. Edward took on one, but before he could turn to the other he had struck his horse and down it went. Edward sprang to his feet so swiftly the soldier was caught off guard and Edward ran him through with his sword. He then heard a blood curdling war cry, or rather a scream and saw Andrew madly hacking his way in his direction, trying to reach him.

A sadness came over Edward. How foolish his father had been. He now knew for certain, beyond any doubt, that Andrew was loyal to the throne, probably more than any other subject the king had. Their roles had been reversed. It was now he who was cut off and almost surrounded by the enemy. But instead of leaving him to perish, the Crestlaws were throwing their lives to the wind in order to try and rescue him. This gave him a new surge of strength, and he began to methodically cut down his opponents.
