Fate of a Swordsman

The dark age

 

The guild continued to flee towards Britian, the undead long behind them, many people were running and screaming for there lives, you could hear the screams of absolute horror as men and women were being eaten alive.

They ran into town, and to Lord Britishes castle, they ran to the throne room avoiding all guards.

Lord British looked at the guild as they walked through. You look like hell said Lord British.

Were doomed said Seth, the undead and the Orc have allied, set up defences you got 14 days to do so.

It just so happens I have the best carpenters and craftsmen in town, we will build a gate in 5 days, untill then, re-gain your energy, you will need it.

Let me take the sword yelled Bwoire.

I cant let you do that said Lord British.

Are you insane yelled Bwoire, give me the sword the life of Britania is not worth it.

Go and rest.

Give it to.... Bwoire said Seth, give it up, come let us rest, we are safe for now in these walls.

 

5 days later.

 

Lord British had kept his word and had done what seemed like the impossible, he had gates up at every entrance, how he did so still amazes everyone till this day.

Lord British had a meeting and sat down with all of the surviving guild masters.

 

Alright said Lord British, this is how it is going to work. We have 200 guilds, I have planned out in detail who will go where, we have 4 gates to defend here.

Lord British started naming off guilds and assigning them gates, finnally Seekers of lost Justice was announced.

The Seekers of Lost Justice shall be at the South wall.

After he finnally finnished off announcing the positions, Lord British gave a little speech.

 

Alright guildmasters, this is where you become legends, go to the gate I assigned to you, that will be the home for what will be the rest of your life for alot of you.

 

 

After the meeting Seth gathered the guild and went south towards the great wall, it was a mighty wall, at the top 500 men from Lord Britishes forces stood.

Alright said Seth, this is what we are going to do, mages are going on the top, along with a few warriors, they will most likely have ladders so we are going to need close ranged combat in order to prevent the wall from overflowing with orcs. Ontop of the wall will be myself, Destiny, Johnny, Hephastos and Rinoa. We are going to need Bwoire, Caend and Falcon at the bottom, we are short one warrior because of Zeladon so be sure to make up for it.

The guild went to there positions and waited. Lord Britishes servants brought everyone food and drink, there was not much to celebrate though, this was the dark age of Britania and it might be the last age.

 

7 days

 

Everyone was going crazy waiting for the Orcs, they all tried to amuse themselves but all attempts failed, Seth would often make rounds to his guild to see if they had any questions. Finally Bwoire asked Seth.

 

Are you insane? asked Bwoire, your going to get us all killed!

Well we cannot leave now anyway said Seth.

Why is that? asked Bwoire

If we attempt to leave, we will be killed, so we might as well stay and fight for the cowardly king.

I say we take the sword said Bwoire, we take the Sword and run!

We dont know where the sword is said Seth, if we did you could of killed British then and there.

 

6 days

 

What is wrong? asked Caend

I am going to die out here said Falcon, we dont stand a chance, I am afraid this will be our last battle my friend.

Caend hit Falcon in the face, with that kind of thought you wont stand a chance.

Falcon hit Caend back, they started to fight.

Bwoire pulled them apart. Next time that happens I will have both of your heads mounted on my wall, got that?

Caend and Falcon lowered there heads in shame.

 

5 days

 

The sky's are looking rather wierd said Hephastos.

Aye they are said Rinoa.

The Sky started to turn red.

What kind of Sorcery is that? asked Hephastos

I dont know said Rinoa.

Suddenly the sky started to rain blood.

Hephastos stuck out his hand and licked the blood. That is blood said Hephastos.

 

This is not good said Johnny, In all of my days I have never seen such a thing, it must be the works of an evil necromancer. I will go to the Royal Library to Investigate

 

4 days

 

It had stopped raining blood.

 

I have figured it out said Johnny, this is not good.

What is it? asked Seth

It says here, that 1000 years ago was the first coming of Neria the Necromancer.

Each 100 years it had rained blood 5 days before her wrath would be unleashed upon the world.

Neria the Necromancer, I have heard horror tales of her doings, the rain was apart of it said Seth, this is worse than I imagined I must tell the king.

 

Seth stood up from his post and walked towards Lord Britishes throne room.

Seth walked into the throne room and before he could speak Lord British said

 

I know.

How could you know? asked Seth.

I am no fool, I know the tale of Neria and I know the carnage she unleashed upon the land. Now go back to your post.

 

 

3 Days

 

A loud horn sound was heard.

 

That is no Orc horn said Bwoire

What is it? asked Falcon.

It is an elven horn, help is on the way.

Open the gates yelled a guard. The gates opened and an army of Elves started to walk in. Suddenly the elf who seemed to be leading the army stopped and looked at Bwoire. He smiled.

I never though I would see you here said the elf.

I never thought you would get here in time Calmantos.

I am good at suprises said Calmantos, I was here a few days ago to alert Lord British, we could not let our friends die, the alliance of Human and Elves is born once again said Calmantos.

How many men do you bring? asked Bwoire.

10,000, all that I could spare said Calmantos.

It is almost 3 times more the men we have left, thank you my good friend.

Well now that your here said Calmantos, I would belive you could of taken on the army yourself, you are a mighty warrior said Calmantos. But I have heard news of another warrior, who happens to be the great grandson of pure evil, I do wish a word with him.

Oh Scott? asked Bwoire, I am sorry, he died a few weeks back in Yew.

Then the legends are not true said Calmantos.

Scott, will not be our saviour said Bwoire, Johnny is here.

Johnny said Calmantos, what is so special about him?

He is Scott's older brother.

Calmantos looked at Bwoire in shock, you mean all this time he has lied about his past.

Not to me said Bwoire, he did it for his own safty, you know if the dark mages got there hands on him as a young lad they could of easily persuaded him. He has powers that no ones knows about besides himself, he has hardly been using his magic besides on two seperate occasions, the first time I did not see but aparently he nearly killed himself and the other time was just a bluff said Bwoire, he had grown more powerful by then and could handle the spell, he had his reasons though and his reasons saved his life.

Well then, after this we must make way to Bromarth to destroy the sword said Calmantos, I think after Lord British see's the devistation of the Orcs, he will re-consider. Johnny must be the carrier of the sword of peace.

I have some more news said Bwoire, there is a third brother, he is the oldest.

Really said Calmantos, go on.

Bwoire's eyes grew with fire, I will kill him, he killed Lyna and shadowsbane.

Calmantos grew with sorrow, so you mean, the oldest brother has been corrupted?

Aye said Bwoire

I must speak with Lord British immidiatly, I will talk later said Calmantos with sorrow.

 

Was he a good friend of Lyna? asked Falcon

No said Bwoire, more than that, that was Lyna's father.

Oh said Falcon.

Now please, leave me in peace, speaking of Lyna brings me great sorrow.

 

2 days

 

The people of Britania need a king who is not greedy said Calmantos, he will cause much more death before he dies himself.

Aye said Bwoire, but we are here now, and we stand a chance with more help, let us dispare afterwards.

I will get that sword, and Johnny shall carry it said Calmantos, if it is the last thing I do.
