“Alright,” he said aloud, not particularly wanting to see every single hiding spot within the city. Ikary stopped, and Calix took him on his arm. He stroked the falcon a bit between the wings and gave him silent orders to stay out of the fighting as much as possible, and watch out for archers. The bird squawked as if to say, “Obviously,” and gave a lofty toss of his head. He preened at the dry skin on his master’s fingers a bit, then took off again.
After watching Ikary fly off to resume circling around the city, Calix broke a likely looking branch from a nearby tree and walked down Weisr’s main street, the one that led straight to the Tower, and etched glyphs into the cobblestones and the supports of some of the scaffolding. Most soldiers on guard in the streets ignored him, some cast a wary eye his direction. Each glyph appeared in his mind’s eye as a sort of map of the streets. They would act as conduits, allowing the Emissary an arm into the surrounding area through which he could send spells. As he walked the streets, he noticed he hadn’t been the only one with this idea. It seemed a Journeyman or Master, or maybe even one of the more advanced students, had wanted to have a hand in things in the city as well. They weren’t the same glyphs that Calix was inscribing, and couldn’t be used for just any spell, but Calix thought he recognized a few fireball triggers and other nasty things.
The mages who’d remained at the Tower would not be wandering far from it. Most of them weren’t even going to put their power to use on the offensive; that duty was reserved for the Masters and Journeymen. The students would be almost entirely set on defense, whether providing protection for specific formations and regiments, or bolstering the wall...

A rhythmic pounding of feet sounded, coming up the main street. Sidhe killed her next opponent and pushed him aside to see what was going on. She groaned at the sight.
Ladders. A line of men carrying long ladders were charging up the street, obviously intending to just scale the wall instead of trying to fight through it. They were led by a man who had to be a commander in fluted full plate armor and wielding a great-sword, and were nearly a half-mile away. Teal magic streaked out from the glyphs Calix had left on the cobblestones and walls of buildings, striking at the carriers, while the archers at their posts rained arrows on their heads—but before any attacks touched anyone, they were repelled by a shield manifested in powder-blue power.

Miles opened his door and got out of the car. The Bonewoman, insane with fear, and resting her rat gun on the sill of the upstairs window, took aim and fired a .22 bullet that entered his skull an inch above the left eye. She had vowed to herself as she had watched the singing, chicken-killing soldiers drive away in their jeeps and trucks that she would murder the next man who set foot in her yard. Into the mud beside the yellow Mustang, Miles fell backward, dying. (Page 275)

Originally used by the Romans, the Anglo Saxons used their shields and created a tightly dressed shield wall to protect themselves from enemy attacks. This is true because from the text Medieval Sourcebook: William of Malmesbury, d. 1143? : The Battle of Hastings, 1066 it states “The English… All on foot, armed with battle axes, and covering themselves in front by the junction of their shields, they formed an impenetrable
‘Instantly, in the emptiness of the landscape, a cry arose whose shrillness pierced the still air like a sharp arrow flying strait to the very heart of the land; and, as if by enchantment, streams of naked human beings – with spears in their hands, with bows, with shields, with wild glances and savage movements, were poured into the clearing by the dark – faced and pensive forest.... ... middle of paper ... ...

a. Railroads in the late nineteenth century helped America become the richest industrial nation on earth. The railroads increased commerce and integrated the American market as well as helped national brands to emerge such as Ivory soap and A&P grocery stores. They also introduced time zones to make shipping and passenger travel more standard. The railroad was the first modern publicly traded corporations, the companies were large and expanding across the country. Railroad companies had a large amount of employees. Capital was needed to build railroad tracks so stocks were sold to the public such as wealthy tycoons such as Vanderbilt and Carnegie. The Railroad system was also a symbol of the partnership between national government and industry. The railroad would have never been created without legislature, land grants passed out by congress. An example would be the Central Pacific Railroad it was backed by wealthy tycoons including Leland Stanford, the ex-governor of California who had useful political connections, and Collis P. Huntington, an adept lobbyist. Railroads gave land th...

Injury patterns were also seen in both deaths as they were both repeatedly stabbed and cut by the assailant. On Brown there were four stab-wounds in a close-set pattern that would suggest that she was held in some way and gave little struggle (Siegel).

The castle, a strong stone structure, which invokes images of kings and knights, dragons and princesses, is such an integral part of medieval history. One cannot think history without thinking about the towering structures of stone that dominated the green landscapes of the past. These stone monoliths served many purposes: buildings of government, defense, symbols of power, and homes. Just as it has varied purposes, the castles diverse and interesting history, from tiny wooden structures to the behemoth structures of rock and mortar that we associate with the word: Castle.
