The Druid chp 12

The druid chp 12 The Battle Of The Red Star

I set off at once packing and getting all of my troops in line. We set off I rode on Grace Wing. It took about eighteen days before we got to the edge of the border. It was my first time crossing the border to anywhere except for the dark lands.

Once on the other side of the border. I felt a strange sensation but it was not an unpleasant it was just a strange one and I cannot explain it. The trees looked different they looked like they were more like pine trees even though none of the trees look like any of the trees at home. Even the rocks looked a little different they had tinge of brown.

After a while little while we came to the main city from which we of course questioned and all we answered was we were here to help them kill Jack. Every body had eyes on us and there hands on there blades but none of them had a choice they were being taken over the information he could give and even gave us a few troops. We learned that for this specific mission Jack was mostly using undead solders. So that means he would have a lot of necromancers so we would use paladin weapons. We then calculated best we could were Jack would strike next. We then tried to calculate the best way to counter attack. Sadly this process took a good three days and by then Jack had already taken a quarter of the land so we were forced to immediate action and so the battle began.
In days to come the battle we were going to fight warred be recorded as the great battle of the red star.

We were going to fight against jack in a place were magic energies flowed easily. This battle would determine the entire war for Kog for it warred take place under the red star. The place directly under the red star was actually a valley.

The legend of the red star. Was a long time ago when the world was young the land was made up of fire. There was a volcano from which one day shot up a part of the world orb at the center of the world. Now the world orb held all of the world but it was surrounded by fire and such as the world was held by fire how ever when the piece of the orb flew out the world gushed out of the crack however the world was still just a shapeless blob but then the orb fragment came down by gravity and hit the world a nine 99,999 times and so the world was shaped however the first of the falls the gravity was so strong that it made valleys and the last ones made mountains. Then finally the orb bounced far far away in space and became the red star. It is said that it will some day come back and finish shaping the world by bouncing evil away on the millionth bounce.

The battle plan was to meet Jacks army with a small force. But as jacks army come for us we flee. Then we divide and flank them. But for a plan with that we would easily be defeated. So while we divided a bigger army would drive right through them. But even with that plan we would fail. So the last part of the plan was that While we were doing this the main army would come down from the back and fight the armies in the back and come down and we would then join up regroup and kill the rest away. Even that plan was a risky move against Jack so my dragon and me would attack while the two armies were fighting to regroup me and Grace Wing would come down from the sky. This was to be the first time Grace Wing and me would fight together.

When it was time to carry out the plan we were all ready (This was the first time we were able to se up a good plan before the battle).

Every thing was set up now all we had to do was wait for Jack and his army. Here is some information on Jack. Jack is an undead general he is one of the greatest generals of the Swarm (the Swarm is anther for the army of the evil army). He is said to be an amazing sorcerer in dark magic but not the kind of magic that raised the dead more the kind of magic that kills and stuff like that.


We then saw Jacks army over the sunrise. But the horrible part was that the suns light was blocked out but there was no cloud next to the sun there was light but it did not seem to reach us. Jacks army slowly was coming.

I was hiding behind a cloud directly above the valley. I then saw as my plan was being carried out and as my army was regrouping. But I also saw that the undead were great fighters for solders without any muscle.

I then saw the queue given by officer Bob (don’t laugh). I swooped down ready to kick some butt.

We swooped from behind the cloud craving blood. First of all we came to twenty feet from ground level then Grace Wing started to shoot lightning bolts while I was summoning the right winds to help him go at full speed. Then I saw something on the horizon at first I thought it was a trick of my mind do to my rushing adrenaline. I soon saw that they were not a trick of the mind they were Fallen Angels (Fallen Angels are mortal women who were molten by magic and there souls were seized by death and evil how ever they are always just as beautiful).

I told Grace Wing what I saw and he immediately pulled up ready to face his new opponents that now invaded his kingdom. I slashed through the air cutting through their skin and there wings like they were water. The strange thing was even though this was the first time Grace Wing and me fought together in a real battle and in our training we sucked but while fighting together in a real fight we were kicking butt we rocked.

We dived right then left I had sheathed my sword and took off my lance off my back so I had longer range swinging my weapon left then right we were killing about six of them until I saw him. He was about seven feet high he had a large cloak wrapped all around his body. The horrible thing was that all of my armies warriors that came close to him ready to strike him down. Then all he did was point his bone finger at him (or her) and all of a sudden there came these black tentacles that came out of his cloak and started wrapping around them choking the life out of them covering there nose and mouth but the worse part was that the tentacles seemed to be made out of shadows.

I told Grace Wing and she immediately dived down then came up flipped around charged right through the hull of the Fallen Angels. Then came around behind them and started killing off the last of the fallen and angles now it was time to take care of Jack. We dived at them weapons ready. First we hit Jack with lightning that was shot from Grace Wings mouth knocking him off his feet he immediately pointed his fingers said some words in the language of necromancers and I felt immediately weak and slow and by the way grace wing was moving it was taking is toll on her to. However I had enough strength inject my sword what I thought was his heart I soon saw that all I had done was stab in between some ribs under the heart. So all I needed to do was twist my sword and send it upward however I did not have the strength. Then for no reason I felt strength shoot through my arm (it was little painful) and I shot my arm upward killing Jack.

After that victory was easy. The plan went through quite well. Once victory was achieved we made our way back home and in but a few weeks the two empires of Zeln and Kog made a firm alliance. After that Artica didn’t give me any missions for quite awhile so I had plenty of time to do what ever I wanted to do.

The Druid chp 11

The Druid chp 11 I smell like wet dog.

I was then given my first mission. There was a cave not to far away from Zelns borders were there was Lycans (Were Wolves), and it was believed that they were massing for a attack on one of the five towers. I was supposed to defeat them before they had the chance.

We packed up, and got ready to go. The first eighteen days we made our way through the land of Zeln, and it was very nice to go along and feel every thing growing. However the second we went over the borders the change was instant. Every thing was horrible the trees branches looked like twisting curved broken fingers tearing at the sky trying to get away from the awful place. The rocks looked as if they were melting and trying to commit suicide for death would be a blessing. The worst part was I could hear the screams of every thing all around me

We walked on for what seemed like years when it was only a few days when got to the Lycans cave. After that we set up camp about two miles away. Once in a while I went next to the cave and sensed but I always just got a blur. Then one day some images came clearly to my head and I heard voices and finally I see a room shaped like a dome I saw several Lycans and one gigantic Lycan. At first I thought that he might be like a super weapon they were going to use until I saw his armor, and then I remembered that these were the alpha males, the leaders of the pack. I could luckily under stand their language and so I could hear what they were talking about.

“And so the plan is that we shall attack the fourth tower by flanking it then we shall draw the full force of our strongest troops through the center by using the new weapon the fearsome duelight blade!”

This cannot be good is all I could think of.

After listening to the conversation the Lycans were having I quickly ran to the camp and told them about what I heard. Grace Wing asked if I heard when they were going to attack. I did and I told them that hey were going to go out of there cave tomorrow night. The next day me and my dragon and the some lower commanders planned what we were going to do that night.

It took a long time but finally we came to the conclusion that we would attack them the second they opened the door to the cave we would barge straight into the cave in a surprise attack. The main army would go to a giant cavern that I had sensed for it was the biggest of all the caverns so most likely to make sure every thing was organized the king wolf would have to make sure most of the Lycans in that cavern.

Then the time came all of my troops gathered around the entrance of the cavern we waited for long agonizing minutes then all of a sudden the door burst open. I saw a few Lycans start to come out then they saw us and paused for no more then a heartbeat before they howled and came out at us snarling and growling.

My warriors and I rushed into the cave hurling our weapon left and right. The main army and me rushed for the biggest cavern which is were we also suspected to find the leader while the smaller armies went everywhere else. Every inch we had to fight for every step was battle as little by little we edged forward to our destination. Finally we got into the believed location of the king but when we got there we did not see the king. Suddenly I realized that the Alpha male would not be within this room he would not care about any organizing at all he was a beast. Cursing my self for a fool (But then realizing sometimes a druids curse comes true I quickly lifted it off) we could not group back together again and we would most likely all die.

After hours of fighting I finally found the alpha wolf. he was huge and in his hand he carried the fearsome duelight blade I could sense great power coming off of it but not a power of good or evil simply power.

I lunged at the Alpha Wolf with my new crystal sword. But then the most peculiar thing happened my enemy just threw his sword and it started to whirl around like crazy going left and right. While I was watching it the wolf lunged at me with amazing speed. I barely had enough time to melee him away. But the second I was able to get him away his sword lunged at me as if it had a life of its own.



The sword gave me two solid blows and then I could feel as if the entire power of the sun
was soaking into me in the most horrible way. I staggered back feeling sick. I then saw the wolf laugh at me a horrible sound. But then I saw that the wolf had let down its guard. So using every last drop of energy I had left I lunged at him. Slashing left then right I was able to get two blows but then the enemy seemed to recover and started to attack back. The problem was I could feel the energy draining from me with great speed. Then some how a thought came into my mind.

I have nothing left to lose this Lycan and his followers were most likely going to kill all of my troops burn all I have come to know in this land (Looking back on it I have no idea how I drew strength from that thought).

And for some reason I found great strength in that thought. I screamed at the top of my lungs I then started going each and every way with speed I did not recognize as my own every were the Alpha wolf attacked I protected and I strike and attacked and slashed until before I new it the Lycan was at my feet. Then with out a second thought I stabbed the Lycan right through the skull.

For some reason after I killed their leader all of the Lycans seemed to have a lot less moral and there for did not fight nearly as hard and so we were able to regroup and take them out. Afterworlds we made our way to Zeln bruises and cuts on our body but pride and strength in out hearts. I was tired and weak so I rode on Grace Wing.

After we got to Zeln many more quests and victories came. I became one of the top three generals. One day Artica gave me a quest to kill an enemy general known as Jack. I had read about Jack and I new that he is one of the most powerful generals. I accepted the mission. Now the objective was to kill Jack but I new that the goal was to ally with the country that Jack was attacking a place called Kog.

The Druid chp 10

The Druid chp 10 Wow they must really need a general.

The same day as when I got my weapons Artica came over to meet me. She told me that I only needed one more thing before I started training as a general. She told to follow her and started to walk off I shrugged and ran off to catch up. We walked through a forest and continued to walk on then we came to a sudden halt. And there before me was a gigantic dragon.

I stared at the dragon in awe. It was gigantic. Its wings span was forty feet long while from head to the tip of his tail he was forty-five feet long. Its scales were white while the under side was a beautiful blue and it had spikes at the end of its tail that was the same white as the scales. The membrane was a little less white then its scales while you could see some blue tinged in. And unlike the dragons in the kingdom of Sork the underside was just as tough as the backside though instead of scales it possessed folds and layers of tough nerveless skin.

As I stared with aw I heard Artica say. “her name is Grace Wing and she is yours. How ever her voice seemed very distant. Once I broke free of the trance looked at Artica and said “really?” “Really”. I then turned my head back to the dragon and then for the first time I looked into the dragon’s eyes. They looked liked little saphires almost glowing with power and intelligence I then saw that this dragon was very special.

Then next few days was very busy teaching me how to be a general how ever I passed through it quickly because I had learned so much from the books at the library. The hard part was learning how to fight as one with my dragon. Its not that my dragon and I did not get along we were best friends on the day we met it was more we did not really7 know each other that much and did no how to compute and when we both tried to compute to each other then we did not know what we were doing.

After all of the training of how to become a general was complete I was immediately given my army of troops. This army had humans in it but also had many creatures and beasts.

The Druid chp 9

The Druid chp 9 I get some crystals

“Ok What do I do to train do I have to take a series of tests or something.” “Yes but only one. There is a tree made up of pure magic energized crystals and talismans you must go there and come back with enough of those crystals so my people may carve it into a weapon of your choice.” She said turning her head to look at me. Sounds great but is there a catch” Yes the tree is huge not only that but from it sprouts creatures that then protect it.

“Great” I commented sarcastically.

After my conversation with Artica about my mission I asked if I Was allowed to bring any weapons with me into the cave. She said that I could bring with me the weapon I had brought to this land.

The next morning I set out for the cave. It took me about nine or ten days until I got there. When I did get there I immediately set up camp outside of the cave and began sensing. I felt a greatly powerful presence in the cave but it was not an evil or good presence it was more like a solitary presence.

The next day I went into the cave from which I was attacked by two creatures made up of gems. They were beautiful they were mostly made up of purple gems they had the general shape of a dog but they also had spikes sticking out of there back. I unsheathed my sword even though I new it would not help me.

Then an idea came to me. Immediately I sheathed me sword and drew the staff off of my back. I then said. “ZAL NOK FALV KOLK”.

I could immediately feel the ground beneath start to become part of me. I got into a fighting position and drawing strength from the ground. I cracked the first of the two with my now nearly unbreakable staff and shattered its face. I then turned to face the second one that lunged at me a little to quickly I accidentally dropped my staff and grabbed the creature by the throat. I immediately saw this as a mistake as the sharp spikes stabbed into my hands gritting my teeth I threw it at the wall picked up my staff and cracked the creature into two.

I looked around a little dazed as the spell wore off once I regained my senses I put back my staff and drew my sword again. I started to walk down the tunnel when I heard loud scraping noise that made my ears hurt. I gritted my teeth and pushed onward though the sound was nearly deafening.
I walked a good two hundred yards before out of no were came this gigantic humanoid monsters that sparkled with a radiating force. I saw that he was the one making the scraping noise because it looked like every time he moved the crystals scraped against one another. He then grabbed a huge bolder and hurled it at me luckily I leaped to the side. The bolder missed me but only by a couple inches. I then thought up a plan I dropped my sword and raised my staff I then said few magic words and flashed a huge sunbeam at the golem. When the sunbeam hit the golem it shrieked as he saw that the beam was making him so bright thanks to his crystals it reflected it through out his body with so much power it was wearing out all of the joints through pressure he became dust in seconds.

I started walking down the tunnel again. Several times I was attacked but I was able to defeat them with a little bit of power from my staff. Finally I saw it a tree that must have been three hundred feet in diameter and was at least six hundred feet tall. It was beautiful until a doubt came to me. How was I supposed to ship any thing off of the tree that was as hard as diamond without hurting the crystals he chips then another idea came. I said some magic words and took some seeds from one of my small pouches and threw the next to the tree said some more magic words and willed the seeds grow into plants. And slowly with satisfaction I saw the plants slowly grow into the tree separating a heap of crystals out of the main mass.

Once all of the crystals I needed were packed. I sighed with satisfaction not only because I had gotten some crystals but because I knew that the plants would keep on growing around the tree for the tree a had a powerful aura and the plant could feed off of the aura and grow and grow until it was strong enough to feed off of its own aura and finally the two became one and there for mad huge benefits to one another. I also figured out the reason my magic was so powerful while in the cave was because with out knowing it I had used the power from the tree. I emerged from the cave unchallenged and packed up then started to walk back to the castle of Zeln. It took a couple of days but nothing touched my good mood. Once in the city I went off to meet Artica at the wizards throne.

Once I got to the wizards throne I saw that the wizards were having a meeting so I quickly left. I sat at a bench next to the tower soon Artica emerged. She asked me if I had the crystals and I said yes. She soon took me to the black smiths forge were the black smith looked amazed to see the crystals and asked me what I wanted him to make in very respectful voice. I said a staff a lance and a sword would work very well. The black smith set to work immediately and so the next day I had my weapons.

THE DRUID chp 8

The Druid chp 8 What started out as a tourist thing turns into a living nightmare

The food was great yet horrible at the exact same time, it was truly strange. After I left the Hillka I saw Artica. So I ran over to her and asked what she was doing she then looked at me and said your help is needed, come, follow behind me. She began to walk away so I followed her. She led me to the Wizards tower but not just to the first floor all the way to the top. I swear to you that the room I saw there was of one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. I looked around mesmerized. I saw that the room was perfectly round. The sides of the room had strange symbols on them and there were many of these strange disks in the ground in some parts of the room next to the wall. I saw that in the center of the room loomed a huge flawless sphere that had these blue crystals in it. Not only that but in a perfect diameter around the huge sphere were six other smaller spheres each one with something inside of them.

One of the smaller spheres circling the bigger sphere in the middle had a flame inside. Another had a skull inside of it. Another was simply a ball of pure light. One was what looked like a ball of water. Another was weird it looked like a condensed cloud it also had four little sparkles dancing deep inside. The final one was the strangest of them all on the top had small bits of grass, in the center it was pure earth, and the bottom was molten rock. I then realized the pattern of the spheres such as the sphere with the skull was opposite of the sphere of light and the sphere of fire was opposite of the sphere of water and the sphere I decided was the sphere of earth was opposite of the sphere with the condensed cloud. But the truly odd thing that I noticed was each of them had a small stream of energy falling to the ground and on the ground there were these disks and painted on each one was a symbol of the element above and there were these lines connecting each one to the disk in the center disk below the blue crystal sphere. I then saw a seat that must have been a throne considering how beautiful it was. “What is this place?” I whispered. “This is the Wizards throne,” replied Artica.

I was amazed at the throne room. After what seemed like hours I regained control of my senses. I then asked Artica why she had brought me here. She told me. “I have brought you here because I am desperate to find a general for the fresh supply of troops that Zeln has recently gotten.” “Why me though I asked staring at her”. Because you can sense the land maybe even find out what the enemy is planning and then you will most likely be able to plan a counter attack, She replied.
