"The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold, And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold"

The attack immediately reminded me of The Destruction of Sennacherib by Byron. I'll echo what others have said too; the art is fantastic.

What a way to start a story. It could go in many different ways, from vengeance to survival to a hero's arc. I can't wait to see what comes next.

That was incredible! Very impressive opening, going from zero to sixty in only a few paragraphs. No info dumps, yet we can still see a perfect picture, not only of the main character, but also his family, his village and even his culture.
