Here is my first topic that will explain all the storyes of my tribe, characters and other background.
However, I don't have much free time, so the stories will be entered by parts.
And here's the first.
The great Migration
A tale of hunger and pain
Part1.
The caravans clattered and resounded in the depths of the valleys as a great convoy crossed the Mountains of mourn through the silver road into far Cathay. 50 Caravans filled with ivory, weapons, gun powder, silk, livestock and most importantly; gold. As the great path grew ever longer before them, the Bretonian horsemen who were charged with defending the cargo, grew wearier and cold, but they knew they could not let their guard down, for rumors told of many caravans that had ventured the journey never to be seen again. Whispers of a mighty peril grew louder in the old world as less was the contact with the eastern empire.
As the convoy advanced, Sir Heathwel II saw a strange figure in the mist at the side of the road. Small and stinky, the creature glared at the caravan as they approached, it's great ears erect and focused on the lord. Heathwel ignored the small green skin and it's prodigious nose, and lead the caravan to continue on it's path. As the caravan passed by, the creature turned to the mountains and gave loud screech, the sound resounding through the peaks. One of the horsemen, taunted the goblinoid with it's horse, to which the creature started to run into the rocks, and disappeared in an instant.
The air stood still after the sound of the creature, and the men dismissed the event, continuing on their journey, but they were then surprised by another sound, far louder than the previous. A loud bellow that shook the earth and scared the horses. The mere sound made rocks crumble down the mountains, and the men desperately tried to save their ears from the pain as the cry echoed in their helmets. Heathwel turned to the providence of the sound, and witnessed a mighty creature atop the hills pointing a great sword at the caravan, and as it screamed to the top of it's lungs, dozens of creatures larger than horses began to run down the mountains towards the convoy. The caravans stopped as they watched in fear the coming of the fat creatures, and the horsemen swiftly organised themselves into ranks, lances pointed forward, and began to charge their powerful steeds with no fear of the enemy, and as they were about to hit their target, the front line of the creatures rose canons held on their very hands, and fired a volley of metal and death unto the horsemen. Confused and with his company destroyed, Heathwel had not a second to blink before the creatures came charging towards him, waving clubs and canons like one would wave a child's doll. The mace landed hard on the head of LightSteed; His most beloved horse, and it fell crashing on the hard soil as its brain melted withing it's skull. Even with his most priced steed defeated, and his men poorly trying to fend off the creatures, Heathwel was not the man to give up on a battle, and he rose from the floor, drawing his long sword, and began to battle the ferocious beasts. With the skill worthy of a Bretonian lord, he sliced the throats of many of the bulking creatures as they came in un-ending numbers. Yet every kill made the man more and more tired, until suddenly, as his sword pierced the thick skin of one of the creatures, he felt a sharp and intense pain pierce into his stomach. Stepping away, he removed his helmet to see what had hit him, to find one of the small creatures hanging from a spear stuck under his ribs. The green skin giggled loudly as it shook the spear within his entrails, and the pain it caused was too much to bear. He screamed in pain and dropped to his knees, as he presenced the caravan being ravished by the mighty beasts. Out of the dust, an even larger foe approached the defeated hero, wearing several skulls adorning his body, and a massive weapon fit only for the greatest statues raised high above his head. The last words to come from the mouth of the Breton were the whisper of the name of his lady, interrupted by the sound of a cracking skull.
This is just a little prelude before the actual story. Hope you enjoyed it.
