The Spartans
When the boy was born like all Spartons, he was inspected. If he’d been small or puny or sickly or misshapen. he would have been discarded .From the time he could stand, he was baptized in the fire of combat. Taugh t never to retreat, never to surrender. Taugh t t hat death on the battlefield in service to Sparta was greatest glory he would achieved in his life.
At age 7, as is customary in sparda, the boy was taken from his mother and plunged in to a world of violence. Manufactured by 300 years of warrior society, to create the finest soldiers the world has even known.
The agoge, as is called , forces them to fight ,starves them, forces them to steal, and if necessary, to kill. By rod and lash the boy was punished taugh t to show no pain, no mercy. Constantly tested, tossed into the wild. Left to pit his wits and will against nature’s fury. It w as his Initiation his time in the wild, for he would return to his people a Spartan or not at all.
The wolf begins to circle the boy.
Claws of black steel., fur as dark night.
Eyes glowing red jewels from the pit of hell itself.
The giant wolf sniffing savoring the scent of the meat to come.
It’s not fear that grips him only a heightened sense of him.
The cold air in his lungs
Windswept pines moving against the coming night.
His hand are steady.
His form perfect.

当一个男孩出生后,就像斯巴达所有婴儿一样,会被仔细检视。
如果他太小、太弱、多病、畸形,就会被抛弃。
从他们能站稳的那一刻,便开始接受战斗的洗礼,被教育从不退缩,从不放弃。
开始被灌输一个观念,为斯巴达战死沙场,是人的一生能成就的最大荣耀。
男孩七岁就从母亲身边被带走,投入一个残酷的暴力世界。
经过斯巴达300年尚武社会的塑造,成为世界最顶尖的战士。
正如其名,斯巴达的“酷炼”迫使男孩们去争强好斗,让他们挨饿,迫使他们偷盗,如果必要让他们去杀人。
以棍击和鞭打来惩罚孩子,叫他们痛苦不行于色,对敌人不要怜悯。
时常接受测试,比如被抛在野外,只能靠他们的智慧和毅力与无情的大自然搏斗。
在荒野中生存之是对他们的启蒙测试。
他们若不能成为真正的斯巴达人回到族人的身边,便将尸骨无存。
狼开始在他身边游走。
钢铁般的乌爪,黑夜般的乌毛。
双眼泛着红光,如同地狱深渊来的宝石。
巨狼不停的嗅着
享受着即将到来的肉香
笼罩他的不是恐惧,而是逐渐增强的感觉。
冷空气在他的肺里打转。
深夜里寒风萧瑟,拍打着松枝。
他的双手沉稳,
他的架势完美。
