Part II
Prologue
Durza and the Urgals crept along the trail, for they could here hunters' bows fire steadily at the approaching dear. The hunters had become the hunted.
They shot at it, and killed it. Durza could tell theat there were three of them, all male.
They readied their bows, spears and swords, but they were in for a little surprise.
Little did they know, that the hunters that they were hunting, also knew about the presence of the Urgals. The originally prey, had become the hunters, and now had reverted back to the hunted.
The hunters left their prey, and jumped out over a small waterfall overrunning a cliff. The grass was green, and the path was narrow. They readied their arrows soon enough, and fired. They killed off two Urgals, while three shots were fried. One Urgal deflected an arrow back at the third hunter. It killed him.
The second hunter in line shot an Urgal, and had slain him, but another Urgal shot him, and finally, with a fiery blast, Durza killed the last hunter.
The Urgals howled, and shouted and screamed very loudly. "Looks like meat's, back on the menu boys," the head Urgal shouted. The Urgals hopped over the waterfall and attacked the dead dear, they began fliniging it's guts and organs all around up in the air. Durza watched in disgust.
Chapter II
Durza and the Urgals crept along the path, he told them not to make any noise, but he dropped it because there was no use in making 15 hungry Urgals be quiet for 1 moment when hunting until the prey is caught.
They continued along the path until Durza sniffed something in the air. He recognized the scent to be a dwarf. He could have easily shot them in the dark.
"Be quiet you fools" Durza hissed. "They're singing! Ready your bows! For this will be an easy shot."
The dwarves went on singing, unaware of the shadow beyond them.
"Sing upon a song of old!
And let the great tale unfold! See the light that mornin' sings
As Nori, the boats he unhinges.
A small folk arode him,
From he was down under,
Curly be His head of hair,
And the toes are trimmed, and fair.
He knew of the Great Heart,
In a single mountain.
Haunted once by a dragon now slain,
Should be called, Thrain's Bane.
But "The dragon is withered,
His bone's are now crumbled,"
But low! The guardsman slew him,
But his foul stench never went dim."
They went along, until one Urgal let by accident the first arrow. It bounced off of a dwarf's shield, and killed the Urgal one down from him. They Dwarves charged, and let lose their hatchets at the Urgals. 0, out of them 11 dwarves were killed, and 5, out of the 18 Urgals were slain. The Urgal's retreated,. And the dwarves found another path.
Eventually, after their battle at Marna, they reached where their new colony would be at The center, of the Hadarac desert. They set up camp, though the other party that was ahead of them, was already there. Their metal work had already begun, and they had two small mines. The Ingietum built a hurna Akh Gunteraz dorzada. The first mine had gone well, the second mine, had a few accidents in the making. No one was killed, fortunately, but two dwarves were badly bruised on their heads and their legs.
There were, in all, at the colony, 34 dwarves. The first party, had made it safely, the second one, of course, was not so lucky. The colony thrived well, for attacks were seldom, save the few Urgals that had gotten lost, and came down desperately in search of water.
Those few Urgals, never faired lucky. They were slain off easily by the gate gaurds. But soon, the attacks became more often, and often in bigger parties, then just 1-5. Soon, it grew from 5-20. And though few dwarves were lost, they suffered heavy injuries. Urgals had weapons, that dwarves could not build easily with the resources they had gatherered. The culture in that colony did not for long have their axes made of silver. They found obsidian, at least 3 decades after, the discovery of granite.
The guards at the gate lessened as well. For many were lost, because they were they first thing the Urgals shot at. But the Urgals were so countered by dwarves charging from out of the gate on the ground.
They faired well, they had not few, but not many food sources. It became popular to eat mountain goat and deer that would sometimes wonder by. They would find, eat, and though not often ride the wild horses.
They searched greedily for gold and silver, but found nothing but granite. And even so few of that. They took what resources they had, and managed to survive, for the many years to come.
