Far away in another land are creatures of great power. Dragons, Phoenix's, the mystical Unicorn but more magical than any of these are the three brothers. Three brothers of great power who together, can control the land and bring peace to all. Separated they will tear it apart. The three brothers are born again each generation into a different form. Each have powers beyond belief two blessed with flight, one with the ability to breathe fire, one fireproof and the final brother able to change someone's mind and twist their thoughts. The most interesting generation was different though, these brothers were born together then ripped apart. This is the story of the time when the three brothers were born into four bodies.
At this time the land was at war, the previous brothers still lived in the forms of a Phoenix, a Dragon and a Gorilla. They had been warring for 300 of their 350 years of life and they had eliminated their gorilla brother. Now each day the battle raged, the hills echoing with death screams and the lost cries of the cause they had all forgotten long ago. The red battalion of the Phoenix clashed against the blue of the Dragon but the real battle was going on elsewhere. General Phil in charge of the Phoenix's special unit 'The Lions' ran swiftly along the battlefield dodging the teeth that leapt to him searching for one person. His troop followed each one wiping out the army on front of them. Phil had trained each one of them from the beginning but he was proud of none of them more than his lieutenant Amy. He felt something brush against his golden pelt and there she was. Amy, his love, she smiled quickly at him before bounding deeper into the battle. He looked back at the battle looking for his troop; he saw flashes of gold and red showing his troop, the best troop in the army made up solely from felines and handpicked from a young age then trained for years until all were fearsome fighters in their own right. Only one troop could match the Lions and that was who Phil was searching for. He had to be somewhere; Phil looked round and suddenly saw the familiar flash of blue. He ducked just in time as the blue creature leapt into the space he had just occupied. Phil whipped round to be faced with his enemy, Dan the Danosaur landed hard, his blue scales shivering slightly as he tried to stand. Phil breathed in deeply until he felt the familiar tickling inside his stomach; he breathed out and watched as fire blazed out hitting the Danosaur straight in the head. Dan just sat up laughing as the fire licked gently against his side fire couldn't hurt him and they both knew it. Phil leapt into the air roaring a challenge which Dan met as he gathered strength and flew straight up to where Phil hung immobile in the air. The battlefield lay silent before them each side holding its breath for the fight which would proceed. The Lions and the Danosaur (Dan's special troop) paced the ground anxiously as they longed to reach up and strike but grounded as they were they could only wait for their leaders to finish. The fight in the sky was disturbing both of the warriors were the best yet neither could land a hit. Phil no longer breathed fire for he knew how pointless it was and they were both dodging any attack the other threw at them. Suddenly Dan flew higher escaping Phil's jaws and screamed a cry to the heavens. His Danosaurs below took the command and lunged into battle against the Lions who were taken aback for enough time for the Danosaurs to grab their lieutenant. High above Phil glanced back and saw Amy being dragged off, he half turned meaning to dive back down and just at that moment Dan lunged at him. Phil felt claws digging into him as he was pushed from the sky. He blacked out just before he hit the ground. The entire Red Army moved as one to surround their Hero. They fought against any of the Blue army who attempted to come close to their fallen friend. Dan high in the sky saw them go and smiled to himself, he had the prize he wanted.
Far off another Army stood; this army was different to any other. Each soldier stood in perfect order each one fully in step, all silent and obeying. Two warriors stand beyond them a wolf and a long haired Collie. They stared straight ahead as a gorilla walked in front of them. This gorilla looked normal except for the eyes, the eyes were pure red and glowing, each soldier feared the moment when the eyes fell onto them. The Gorilla stood in front of the dog and wolf "Is it done?" his voice slithered along the air and crawled silently into the ears of the listeners making them want to run and hide but they couldn't move a muscle
"My Lord" the dog bent one knee down to the gorilla as he spoke "The Warriors will"
"Is our own" finished the wolf. The gorilla nodded pleased at his servant's skill.
"Make them meet soon or all will be lost" The wolf and the dog both bowed low as the Gorilla left each soldier relaxing as he did so. The drill continued as the lines of soldiers marched in time perfecting their attacks and parries. The dog and Wolf retreated further back so they could talk more privately
"What did you hear?" the wolf asked
The dog shook his head confused "His thoughts are too confusing. Sorry Alex"
The wolf looked disappointed "Don't worry Charlie. We'll have another chance."
Charlie looked at Alex in sorrow "But what if it's too late? He's told us to kill them we can't do that!"
"Charlie it'll be fine we'll do it. It doesn't matter we'll get through it together." Charlie nodded slowly.
"We have to do it through don't we? We have to kill them" Alex said nothing confirming Charlie's suspicions. "Let's get it over with then"
Dan flew down to the ground to face his Danosaurs "Well done. We have the hostage the Lions are undone. For what is a troop without a leader?" Amy growled at him "Guard her at all times" he was just about to walk away when he heard a voice in his head. He made no movement and in a moment he remembered nothing of the voice but he knew what he should do. "Take the hostage to the cave on the other side of the valley" The Danosaurs glanced round wondering what made him change his mind but seeing nothing they obeyed. Dan followed soon after shaking his head to clear the thoughts that flooded his brain
Across the valley Phil stirred. His back shouted out in pain but he ignored it. He vaguely remembered what had happened and leapt to his feet causing his back to scream out and forcing him back to his knees. "Lie still Warrior" Phil heard the voice but could not quite believe his ears. He flattened himself against the ground
"My lord. I did not realise you were here" Phil felt a warmth against his back as Avis the Phoenix leader of the Red Army towered above him.
"Stand, my warrior. You have earned the right. "
"My Lord, I apologise for not being here to welcome you myself."
Avis laughed "You may be a mighty warrior but you can't do everything by yourself. I realise that you must free your lover and I know there is no point trying to persuade you to do otherwise but I must advise caution. My brother Draco is building his army and he knows you are coming, I fear you ay be walking straight into a trap from which there is no escape. And whilst I will be saddened to see you go I must forbid you bringing any of your warriors. We can't risk so much for one tiger" Whilst Avis said this his eyes burnt red not the normal fiery welcoming one but a soul searching one. Phil thought this strange but didn't question his leader. He bowed ignoring the twinges from his back and prepared to leave.
Amy was secured in the cave by use of the vines and creepers that naturally grew and whilst Dan had exercised every care whilst tying her up three of his soldiers now had flesh wounds from her. He told all of his Dinosaur's to wait outside the cave in hiding until the Lions came and then they would attack and finally this war could end. Dan knew nothing of a world without war for he was still young, he didn't know exactly how old for he had been found abandoned but Draco the leader of the Blue army suggested that Dan was nearing his 20s. This made seniors think very little of him but not Draco. Draco had taken Dan under his wing literally and had become the closest to a father Dan had ever had. Dan would die before he betrayed Draco and he would kill thousands as he had already done. Now he settled down to wait in a cold dark cave for his enemy to come along. Unfortunately for him he was looking for the wrong enemy.
