"Burn it all down."

Within minutes, Cliff saw the whole village burn down. The fire reflected in his eyes, hands behind his back, he seemed to notice very carefully the view of the Village.

"Sir, we did it. A victory?" One of the people who had gone to burn the village returned and asked.

"We've burnt many villages." Cliff said as he stepped down from the rock he was standing on, "The fire was the beginning."
He commanded the soldiers to follow him and that their work there was over.

The sun had started to rise, and the rays had started falling.

After riding for a few minutes;

Suddenly a sound came from the bushes in front of them, a small shadow in the rays of sunshine.

Cliff raised his hand and the thumping of horses grew quiter behind him. He got down from his horse, pulled out his pistol and made his way towards bushes.

"Hold." Cliff said as he slowly walked towards the bush with a pistol in his hand.

One hand pushing it aside and then catching hold of something, he threw it outside. The sound of shotguns on standby was heard as the soldiers came in line; three went behind to check the bushes.

"Who are you..?"
