Wars of Deltora: The Pit of Despair

Chapter 1: Tidings of Terror

Lief downed a large goblet of fresh ale and licked his lips as he settled into the jovial ballads floating in the airconjured by expert bard minstrels. He also tore a chunk of chicken of a chicken leg and contentedly smiled at Jasmine. She smiled back, rubbing her pregnant chest and at the same time trying to keep Draken, their child, from running into banquet tables. She mouthed anincoherent message.

"Pardon!" Lief yelled over the crescendo.

"Captain Kwynlin requests your presence! And Draken is getting rambunctious; I'm taking him to his chambers!"

Lief eased himself off his chair with a groan. He sheathed his sword and wobbled off toward the Great Hall, where an individual dressed in armor and bearing a spear and long locks of hair resided. As he got closer, Kwynlin uttered:

"A crow of the Shadow Lord was shot down over on the Eastern Tower. The corpse was sent to the furnaces; yet a message was strapped securely onto it's leg and fortunately Gildas retrieved it for us."

He reached deep into the depths of his pockets and rummaged through them. After many minutes of painful suspense he tore his hand from his pocket and in it he grasped a dirtied and yellowed piece of parchment. As he unrolled the scroll, Lief's eyes swept over the writing:

Do you fare not well

In the trenches of hell

Evil lurks in your domain.

You will fall

You will not fare

In the Pit of Despair

Sorry it's so short! More updates coming soon!
