War
War... a gray, dark, morbid word, which brings chaotic conflict and death to many. From within its twisted grasp of chaos heroes are born. Through their choices heroes affect the fate of many lives. This story opens in 1757, in the middle of French-Indian War. The French are at war with British over territory of America's frontier. Nathaniel, a passionate and brave young man, was raised by the native chief, Chingachgook, who took him in as a son. He was originally the son of a colonial and his connection to this white man will affect the lives of the one he loves in the future to come. In the beginning, Nathaniel, Chingachgook, and son decide not to enter the war but, head west to Kentucky. On their way west a group finds tracks left by a Huron war party and decide to follow. As they approach, they encounter the Hurons slaughtering the infantry of British soldiers. Nathaniel and family decide to help the defenseless women and soldiers. The father and son want to continue west but Nathaniel decides to assist the three back to Fort William Henry. On their way, the party comes across the massacre of the Cameron family, who were killed for no reason at all.
After the death of Magna and a prayer for his son's death, it is said that Chingachgook is the last Mohican. Nathaniel, Chingachgook, and Cora also rushed but only reached there in time to see Magna killed. Though said by General Webb, Monroe overruled it and ordered them to stay. Nathaniel with a glimpse of Cora races to her aid selflessly, for this would have been the time to escape with family, and rescues her fro9m the clutches of death. As Magna left the camp, the young-indian rushed to Alice's aid for his had become taken with her. By choosing to stay with Cora, Nathaniel placed his brother and Father in jeopardy. His choices shifted the plot of the story. As the Huron approached Nathaniel is told by father and brother that it best they leave with Cora. With thought of no aid coming and the fleeing of colonial soldiers, Colonel could think about his remaining men and surrender the fort. Shortly afterwards Alice leaping to her death to join her love. These soldiers were informed that if this were to happen they would be given the right to return home, to defend their families. By choosing to take the three to Fort William Henry, Nathaniel through himself into a war he was trying to avoid from the begin. Magna was given Alice as compensation for his children, and the Huron freed Cora. By Nathaniel choosing to stay behind it meant so would Chingachgook and his brother because they wouldn't leave his side.
