EXTON
What is happening, old man?
OLD MAN
Exton, run! Get as far away as possible! The soldiers are here and they are ruining everything?
EXTON
Well, what are you doing then? Come with me.
OLD MAN
No, I must defend my land and my village. If I don't see you, remember that our life is based upon our people. Defend yourself and more importantly, your family and friends. They become your life. Grow up and be the man I know you can be. Now run!
(Exton begins to run away but as he looks back, he sees the old man fighting with a soldier. The soldier stabs the old man. Exton turns and runs at the soldier. Just as he did with the bear, he stabs the soldier with a bone protruding from the top of his hand)
EXTON
NO! Don't die! I need you.
OLD MAN
Exton, go now. You must leave me. I will be watching over you though. Goodbye.
(The old man dies)
(Exton gets up after a minute and begins toward the mountains)
