Koarules: This is my first fan fic and this part is just the intro. Well I hope you enjoy it
"Da** you Rider!" Cried the half-elf swordsman as a tall, light-haired figure drove a long, shining, black, blade through the half-elf's stomach. The small band of elven archers riding behind him sent a volley of arrows at the half-breeds swarming Rider and his fellow swordsman. With only five half-elves remaining the Defenders of Gallion knew the battle was over. Rider struck a half-elf into the air with an underhand blow and then split his helm with a two-handed overhead strike. Another was dispatched by Garret, a fellow swordsman, and the other three were fell to archers.
Rider wiped his sword on his pants and thrust it into his sheath before leaping onto his horse. They looted the dead half-elves and rode on, Rider at the head of the group and his brothers, Garret and Nolan, at his side.
It was more than 500 years after the fall of Saruman. And much has changed in middle earth. About 400 years after the fall of Saruman a powerful elf named Norguf was leader of New Rohan and its vast army of men, elves, dwarves and half-elves. New Rohan had always been a place of peace and harmony where kind people of any race were welcomed with open arms. Norguf had always been a kind and just ruler of the great nation. One day he found a beautiful, golden, ring in the possession of one of his generals. That ring happened to be the one ring that the evil Sauron had once had. The general was somehow immune to the rings allure but Norguf saw it and some horrid spirit residing within the ring took over him. Norguf struck down the poor man and stole the ring from him.
The spirit corrupted Norguf and soon the once peaceful man sought to take control of all middle-earth. He called his people together and announced his ambitions. He told all of how he wished to have control over everyone and everything and how he would kill anyone who stood in his way. The people took Norguf to be mad and many tried to flee the nation but Norguf's army was forced to kill them all or suffer the wrath of their comrades and their king's magical powers. Norguf single-handedly broke the minds of almost all the half-elves in his army for they were born with weaker minds than the others. Most of the men, elves and dwarves tried to launch a rebellion but the were vastly outnumbered by the half elves.
Some of the men, dwarves and elves agreed with Norguf and wished to command the mindless half-elves but Norguf easily broke the minds of those who wished to join him too. The orcs, goblins, trolls and other horrid creatures who had been forced into hiding came from their hiding places underground and in the forests to join Norguf's forces. Norguf's army quickly overcame many surrounding nations and soon controlled much of middle-earth but the remaining nations bound together to protect themselves from Norguf's forces. For many years it remained that way with both Norguf and the resistance trying to gain the upper hand in what became known as The War of the Mad King.
It soon seemed like Norguf was about to destroy the resistance and then the elves were forced to do what they had vowed never to do again. The wisest, oldest, and most powerful of the elves gathered and created ten rings of power. Each granted the wearer similar abilities and one great ring contained enough power to kill Norguf and destroy the ring that was thought to have been lost in MT Mordor. The leaders of the resistance gathered their strongest, wisest and most loyal nobles and gave them each a ring of power. Four went to elves: Prince Auron, Prince Leon, Sir Isren and Sir Garret. Two went to dwarves: Prince Gliof, and Prince Nor. Four went to men: Prince Nolan, Prince Garret, Sir Elegon and the greatest ring to Prince Valon known by his alias Rider. They gathered twenty more great warriors and known as the Defenders of Gallion they were sent off to find Norguf, kill him and destroy the ring once again.
After riding for twelve days the Defenders have arrived at the Gate of Malik a small city controlled by Norguf. Rider and the other Defenders of Gallion make camp outside the walls and ready themselves for battle.
