Disclaimer- not mine blah blah blah etc... etc...etc...
P.s. I am still figuring out this site as it pertains to writing stories. Therefore, it will be interesting to c how long it takes me to get used to it (if u have any useful tips please share). This story was inspired by Disturbed new song Inside the Fire and again I am sure some of the names will be spelled wrong.
p,s.s I had this story spaced at 3 in word then it gets on here and looks cramped. I went through and played a bit as you can see it didnt do anything so if someone can tell me how to get it spaced on here everyone would be thankfull.
Sacrifice
2 years after High kings Tomb
Zachary stared over Sacor city it had once been a bustling city with people making a living and going through life with the hope that what they were doing would result in a better future for them and there kids. That was all changed though ever since Mornhaven the black had returned a year ago he had destroyed the Wall despite there best efforts and it turned out that he was not the only evil sleeping behind the wall for when he had a woken there had come others that had been imprisoned with him. When they had become aware that he had come back they had gathered an army from all across sacordia to fight him and the evil creatures of his forest and not to mention the second empire who was just as troublesome for they only revealed themselves when they were ordered to by Mornhaven. They had no idea who could be trusted and they had no idea how truly integrated the second empire was with the people of Sacordia for three of Zachary's Weapons had been second empire. A slight smile crossed his face as he remembered the surprise on there face's for when they had come to kill him he had been talking with Karigan and she, Fastion and Zachary had managed to hold them back but they had called for reinforcements from general castle staff. That was when it had happened fastion had been wounded and Zachary had been protecting him and trying to hold out against two of the weapons when they and there reinforcements had been frozen unable to move except there faces. Zachary had no idea what happened until he had looked over at Karigan her eyes were glowing and the blond strip of her hair looked as if it was on fire.
It had turned out that the Eletian Shadwell was right when the wall had come done magic had been restored to the world but not as he had thought. For only those who already had gifts before were affected which was fine for the Eletian's but for them it meant that the Green Riders were there best and only chance to hold back Mornhaven and the Riders had no idea how to use there new powers which were much stronger then before. They had sent to the Eletian's for help but they had refused saying they would not sacrifice themselves for humans a second time. Zachary's smile faded as he remembered what had occurred after that once Mornhaven realized that the only ones who could use magic were the Riders he had begun a deliberate campaign against them. Whenever he had captured a Rider, he had tortured them and then he had them carried crucified before his army kept alive with his black magic unable to die. The sight had effectively stopped any one from joining the Green Riders and soon they had been only a couple left this had led to a desperate attempt by Karigan to go back to the First Riders time (1) to try to learn how to use magic. She had succeeded, when she had come back she was able to control her magic and she had taught the other Riders how to as well. For a while it had looked as if they would be able to turn the war around and beat Mornhaven back for the Riders were rallying with Karigan at there head and there magic in there control. Mornhaven was furious and had come to Sacor city where she was at the time by himself. Zachary felt a tear roll down his cheek as he remembered Mornhaven had come and had stood floating above and outside the walls and using magic had challenged Karigan to a duel saying that if she did not he would raze the city and all the innocent people who had come there for protection. He had tried to stop Karigan but she had used her magic on him and had gone to face Mornhaven by herself. It had been no contest he had easily beaten her despite her best attempts, Mornhaven had to much power and much more experience then she had. Then he had tortured her in front of the whole city for days until she had begged for death. The other Riders had tried to rescue her but he had destroyed them with a wave of his hand and then instead of killing her he had enslaved her soul, which had been at the front of his army during the next and as it turned out last battle. Since then the remnants of the army had retreated to Sacor city, which was now besieged by Mornhaven's army, and trying desperately to hold the city.
All right, I know there is nothing even vaguely relates to the song but I swear the next chapter will. Hmmph next chapter I meant this to be one shot, one chapter damn my muse. The (1) indicates where I think there could be another story but I will not be writing it so if someone else wants to feel free.
