Through the Oblivion Gate
Disclaimer I do not own elder scroll series the Zachary's on the other hand are mine.
This didn't seem right the hero of Kvatch along with myself and other anvil guards. And those Zachary's many of them only five through ten there was about fifty of them what kind of empire send small children in a oblivion gate some of the Zachary's were fighter's however most were nothing more then small children with no military training and armed with hide armor. "Mara guide them" I said in a soft prayer the Hero of Kvatch who was a female Argonian was arguing with the captain of the anvil city guard. "Here lady you look nervous have some bread" I looked to see a Zachary maybe five or six unlike most of the other he had some understanding of tanning since he wore rough leather and carried a dagger that seemed to be fire enchanted how a Zachary his age would have a enchanted dagger I would never know. "My men and I will be bait and buy you anvil guard's and the hero of Kvatch sometime" the eighteen year old Zachary said in a courageous tone the other Zachary's looked terrified at the Idea. "No Captain Zachary number four-hundred and sixty (he had that name as Zachary's are made and branded with numbers when they are first created) I will not have small children get massacred your err. Army wouldn't last five minutes with the daedra" the Hero of Kvatch said at least she had a heart. We then heard a scream and looked to see at the gate a seven year old Zachary was holding his hand which was bleeding "What in oblivion happened" The anvil captain said "Well mister brains over here decided to stick his hands in front of what we thought was a dead scamp obviously he was wrong" A nine year old Zachary said in a frantic tone " You see Zachary Captain this is what you plan to send in the provide bait" I said in a hateful voice this eighteen year old Zachary didn't care about his troops all he cared about was glory and fame. After much arguing we finally went through the gate and I hope I never have to see a place like this in my life there were heads, lakes of fire, a living plants, and other nightmarish things in this oblivion gate " hey check this out WEEEE" a five year old Zachary said as he continued to play with the Harrada using it as if it were a swing. He then got off and started to laugh all the other Zachary's soon followed "So much for stealth" said a dark brotherhood Zachary said as he then cast a invisibility spell. The Hero of Kvatch saw something wasn't right and soon enough daedra came down the hillside "We'll buy you sometime" the anvil captain said the hero of Kvatch moved swiftly and soon the daedra focused on us I had my long sword and Anvil shield ready a anvil Breton dug his blade deep through a scamps stomach. We had been fighting for hours and many of the Zachary's faired worse than all of us but the Hero of Kvatch closed the gate and we were free however forty Zachary's were dead or wounded. I looked at one of the Zachary's and realized that it was the Zachary who gave me some bread I closed his eyes respectfully and then started to go to the Zachary Captain "You don't care do you many of your kind are dead many of them who were only five and seven years old and you think of them as nothing more then fodder" I shouted at him he just smirked and retired to his hut the Hero of Kvatch laid her hand on my shoulder "They bravely gave there lives and they are a peace" the Hero of Kvatch said in a soft voice. I cried for a while then moved back to my tent the gate was closed I guess that's all that mattered.
