...I show no mercy. I fight as well as I can, but the stream of enemies is never ending. I see the hero beside me, but then I realise that I am not beside him, and that I do not have a sword. My armour is now a t-shirt, and the enemy is the air before me. I realise that I have been ripped out of the books world and in to my own, by the yell of my mother telling me to come down to dinner. I quickly put down the book and run downstairs to eat my dinner as fast as I can. I wait impatiently for my permission to leave the table.

I love to read, but I usually only read only read on my vacations. When I chose a book I always chose a Fantasy or medieval book.

There he is taught to read and speak Latin, and many other useful things. He meets a monk who used to be a Templar knight. The monk teaches Arn how to fight, ride and shoot like a Templar knight. After 10 years Arn is sent out into the world, and after a few days he meet Cecilia Algotsdotter. They fall in love, and he makes her pregnant. It is a sin to have a baby before you are married, and for that they are both sentenst to 20 years of penance. Arn is sentenst to serve his 20 years in God’s army, and Cecilia has to live in the monastery of “Gudhjem” for her 20 years. In the second book the story splits and switches between Arn and Cecilia. There has now gone by 10 years of his and Cecilia’s penance, and Arn has become the most feared man in “The holy land”. He has also becom...
