THE TAIL OF THE DARK KING:


A long time ago in the age of my great great grandfather, in our land, it was always warm and sunny. our people lived without fear. we lived in peace and harmony, until that day. on that day something strange happened.

Clouds formed, but they were not like any normal rain clouds. they started to drop white crystals from the sky, "a gift from the heavens" people would say. these crystals rained onto our civilization for about 3 suns. everyone thought it was harmless, but these crystals stayed on our land. soon our crops died, the animals left, and people were starting to grow hungry. on about the 7th sun our people had a meeting. "we must move to another place." one cheif said. "no, we must wait out these times." another disagreed. "no we must leave, our people are dieing."
"NO! we stay until it passes."
the discision went to the high cheif, he chose to stay. "fine, then i shall take my people and go." the one minor cheif said. so the next sun he and his small group of people left. how i wish our people had traveled with them. a few more suns passed and more and more people were dieing. a guard then came to the cheiftens tent. "there is a strange old man outside the city walls." the guard sais to the cheifs. "he speaks of us, he tells of great misery to come to us and that we must leave."
"kill that old bat.." a cheif told him.
so it was done. about three suns later the same guard came running back. he went to the cheiftens tent, this time his clothing spattered with blood. "what is it?" a cheif asked.
"sir, on the outer wall, creatures. theyre attacking us!" the guard said running back out of the tent. the cheifs left the tent, only to find another guard run to them. "theyve breeched the inner wall, one more and theyre at us." the guard yelled.
"tell all men to go to the wall and defend it! we cant let our people be harmed." the main cheif yelled.
the guard ran off to the siren. ringing the great bell tons of troops, their swords and shield out. the men ran to the gates, ready to do battle. when over the wall came 5 of the troops, flying through the air. then three troll like creatures smashed through the 3rd wall and hundreds of strange cratures, dressed in black armor, came bursting into the kingdom. dragons flew over the walls, burning troops and snatching up people. giant creatures crashed through the walls and killed people. the dark army ravaged and destroyed everyones homes. then and evil knight stepped forward claiming the kingdom in order of the dark king.

this is the story of my people, we still fear the dark king to this day, but pray for a brave warrior to go to dead mans peak and defeat him...
