A huge island stood at the middle left of one of the seas. Hundreds of warriors rushed into place atop a cliff where they looked down the shore and saw hundreds of enemy ships coming in. Not from a rival kingdom. But a clan that wishes to make their island its permanent territory.
A young warrior at the fore front of the army looked down. Today was the day he died. He hoped it would be a warriors death. Someone patted him on the shoulder and said “Do not falter Daniel. We, are warriors. The bravest in the land!” To which Daniel said “But… Master Gale… That’s a powerful clan we are facing. Their leader is a powerful warlord! No one has ever came out any battle against him or his army.” To which Gale stood silent before saying “Do not fear your enemies, Daniel. He’s mortal after all, not unstoppable so as long as we keep fighting we will win.” Daniel nodded as the ships landed and came down armies before eventually the leader Zeke Zenith came forward and yelled “Warriors! I know about you all of you. Please now we can do this peacefully… Or horribly if you like, your choice. Now if you all peacefully call this off and let us thrive alongside you. No one has to die.” However no one said anything nor did anyone move from their positions. After a long suspense of waiting, Zeke got impatient as he pointed his lance forward and hundreds of mortars rained down at the warriors. And in that instant a battle ensued and widespread chaos emerged. Warriors fought hundreds of the armies of the clan. Within the chaos Daniel was knocked down by an enemy. The enemy charged a glass magic blast preparing to end his life right there. The blast went right towards Daniel. And in that instant Daniels eye world went dark but only for a moment as he regained his senses to realize his body was covered with broken glasses but none hit him. He looked up to see Master Gale having deflected and killed the man with a flying phoenix. Master Gale looked back at Daniel telling him to be careful. However out of nowhere dozens of mortars with explosive shots were fired around the battlefield devastating the warriors. Master gale took a hit for Daniel and instructed him: “Daniel get out of here! Go south west from here until you find a cabin. There is not much time here, I’ll stay back and fight till I fall.” Daniel screamed “But master!” To which Gale yelled at him to go for it and Daniel with tears in his eyes fled the battlefield running past his dead allies.
