The Battle

A crowd gathered to see the action, hoping that the sheer battle for survival would provide both entertainment and a rush of adrenaline. A cheer unlike any other was heard as the warriors took center stage. The two armies stared each other down as their leaders approached. Their beady eyes locked on their targets as the sounds of the crowd around them were drowned out by the beating of their own hearts. A loud alarm put the event into action.

Dirt was flying, sweat was dripping, the two sides engaged one another with sheer determination, each one hoping to live to fight another day. Like a powerful thundering herd each pounced their prey in an effort to subdue and conquer. Many were drug unwillingly to the ground as their enemy unmercifully laid upon their struggling bodies. Others trampled their opponent as if nothing could stand in their way. Cries of approval were heard from the crowd as they begged for more. However, just as suddenly as it had began, a loud shriek signaled the ending. When the dust had settled, the field laid barren thirsting for the bodies of more victims to trample upon it in an engagement of pure will for survival.

The battle rages on and can be seen by those who desperately seek it. The next battle will take place a week from today on Immanuel's green fields as the Kindergarten League of UPWARD Soccer meets for Week 2. Be there!
