__The Saxon:__ I've forgotten much of my life. I guess it is possible, but who knows ? I didn't remain long in Wessex. It was the early 790s that I left England and joined Charlemagne's army. I fought in Italy against the Byzantine Empire, and defected to them after being killed by two arrows from Khazar mercenaries (I called them Turks at the time. I probably still would if not for the Ottomans, but I keep getting ahead of myself.) Although I was good at war, I grew tired. Every night when I slept for at least a year, I reenacted my deaths in my dreams. I guess the fear I felt had caught up to me. I lived multiple lives in the Roman Empire, and didn't return to war until the campaigns of Nikephoros Phokas. | __The Saxon:__ I've forgotten much of my life. I guess it is possible, but who knows ?

In 1015, I found my way back to England. For the next fifty years, I lived three different lives. In last "life" there, I was a sailor. Of course, I found myself in Scandinavia after a ship wreck. It was nearly impossible to find a job there, so naturally whenever a contingent of men left for Constantinople, I found myself with them. I was finally accepted into the guard in time for Manzikert... | In 1015, I found my way back to England. For the next fifty years, I lived three different lives.

When I returned, I dug my way out of a shallow grave, and assumed a new life as a Frankish knight. That lasted a year, and I made my way to Norman Sicily. | When I returned, I dug my way out of a shallow grave, and assumed a new life as a Frankish knight.

One night, I escaped my captivity, and made my way to Athens. When that city became Frankish property as well, I snuck aboard a Venetian ship.

In 1268, I chose yet another life. This time I was a Flemish merchant. That area was just starting to boom. I did this until 1292. I joined the Reconquista, but fought for the Muslims. I killed many a Spaniard, and grew to enjoy it. But these details are for another entry. | In 1268, I chose yet another life. This time I was a Flemish merchant. That area was just starting to boom.
