THE MOUNTAIN OF FIRE

The land of crocant was in peril.The land now divided in factions was in state political and actual
war over a thing which was the true holder of power, the holy ring of st.davis, which is said to
be forged by the god emperor himself to counter the forces of hell waiting at the gate of doom.
He gave the power to the eldien race, a race of elite magical creatures who were taller and
faster than humans the god emperor gave them the gift of adam, granting them immortality.To
protect them the tarnished were formed,created by the fruit of lilyth with the gift of knowledge
and mortality.They formed the sacred order and had peace for 300 milenia until the eldien king
Horas III,The heretic, used the ring to curse the tarnished and destroy the sacred order which
lead to the peril dividing crocant in factions the east had port of the pirate,tarnished cursed to
roam the seas as the creatures that live inside the waters, the north had the knights of valagon
which were the sole protectors of the kingdoms of the tarnished, formed after the breaking of the
sacred order, the last of the surviving tarnished and the last holder of the sacred testament of
god, written in a language which was only understandable to the tarnished and some of the
eldien selected by god himself,the west had knights of the white mountain, they are tarnished
cursed to live as demons in the beautiful white mountains of athonia.

DELTONA
The old man was rambling again about the golden age, about the age of heroes about the
sacred order he was part of the knights of the valagon he is old so it makes sense
But whatever the case I just want to clear the dungeon of loot and get off
The knights disappeared 50 years ago and no sign of them since disappeared. Fought in
one war and disappeared some knight they were. “Holy shit” the dwarf said, he didn't talk
much so it was quite a shock for me, his face was filled with pure terror it was odd for
him to do anything like this, he never showed emotions or talk, he was part of the old
miners guild in the southern mines of sapphire and working under the eladrum,an old
authority of spacing guild formed by horas for travels of the imperium throughout the
greater Alric, the path of the imperium used for interstellar travel, he used to tell tales abt
going to hunt across the stars of those who defied the imperium or the followers of the
sacred order, until he quit and became a bounty hunter his reason “the pay was better” .
As for the old man he was OLD as old as the knights and older than the spacing guild he
was a boretian a sub species of the eldien race, said to be eradicated .The dungeon was
up in the mountain of anthonia at the peak of athonia. It was cold……painfully cold. The
old man didn’t even show an inch of emotion, his face never showed an emotion. The
dwarf was fully covered with his black leather armor which kept him warm. But for
me….well 2 of my fingers had broken off due to frost and my knees have almost given
up. There was a cave,not too big but big enough to be considered unnatural. A noise.
Loud noise. Screeching. The waves of the noise blocked the cave and the path from
which we came

Out came from the cave, A serpent,it didn't hiss it screeched like a death whistle used in
the old days it was like a person was screaming at top of their lungs,its scream soon
blew out our torch and we plunged into the darkness the only thing we could see was its
blood red eyes. The eyes disappeared. I quickly took out oil, pouring it on my sword and
lighting it. As the light touched the stone of the walls of the dungeon I saw true fear run
down my spine. The dwarfs body was ripped in half the serpent's teeth,which were like
ivory, were soaked in his blood the old man,enraged, took out his ax and charged with a
powerful strike he hit the serpent….strike so powerful it shook the dungeon and took out
one the eyes of the serpent . The serpent took quick action by countering his attack but
was swept up by the tail of the serpent he charged towards the old man.Their attack
clashed.
I wanted to go back in but my ribs were broken. I can feel the blood from the punctured
lungs flowing inside me. I soon started to cough up blood. My eyes looked for the old
man like a glimmer of hope that he had killed that beast……I saw his
hand……….his…..hand was gone and…….his ax was broken……..
The serpent lept and with a flash the old man was crushed by the serpent’s tail.
I……………….feel…………………………..cold………

GUNMAN
It's a bright morning in the city of Khalshuna with the sun smelling with
gun powder the evolution of the army of horus has pushed the civilisation
to evolve most of the time an evolution occurs when a civilisation is at its
peak and ready to move on but the king had other plans he made a push
toward the engineering of modules,first came the guns,then the
cannons,then the airships and then came the most vile creation in the
name of the god, they were called the imperium guards half machine half
tarnished dining the armor which wreathed in the blood of their own kin
they tore everything in their path in the name of the god emperor who is a
husk of who he was every day 3000 people are sacrificed just to keep him
so they can extract the power of the gift out of his blood cursed with
immortality and tortured by his,now,only son. Horus used the ring to
power his twisted dreams of ending the tarnished blood and making the
eldian race the only superrior race. But soon the imperium guards realied
the power they hold the power which is held in them and then came the
mutiny…………Dear god the mutiny,the mutiny caused horus to use the
ring at its full potential and it broke him his body became a behemoth of
flesh covered in his blood.You could hear him scream in pain from miles
away the guards charged but horus had other plan he screamed a single
spell which moved the entire castle into the battlestations so big the
airship’s hull melted by the body heat and collapsed into him

RED AND BLACK

The grumbling thunderstorm at the edge of my sight had me worried sick about the
outcomes of our survival through the night. I sadled the horse and just departed
from the old shack up the northern mountain and down at the hell that is the
country of smite and pain. Its been a long time since I went of into the woods alone
atleast we usually get patners for these types of stuff but due to the dam bieng
under suppervision by the main population of the north and the west the less
maned east were given the duty of finding resources this lack of supervision cuased
most of the parties to form new factions. I still remeber the peace we had prior to
the war before the the great collapse of the human race. I still remember bieng in
the battle field just hearing a scream and seeing a white light.
The light made me blind it made me feel euphoric and then waking up in this
outpost thats where I met john also a soldier. he brought me to the catalan back
then it was just a few villager and builders using made up country guns to protect
themselves from the infected.
they came in groupes some of them were slow most of them were fast,very fast. I
still remeber encountering my first one it was fast as hell came real close to taking
my life.
I need to take my gun back at seth's for repairs the rifle has seen it all and gone
through it all. The barel has gone a bit rough cuase of all the rain. the wood has
been torn apart by the infected. I need to go back to the outer city across the
river.Its mostly vegitation now and occupied by infected.
