Disclaimer: Some of the things I use in my story are from the Might and
Magic Series and also from some of Piers Anthony's books.
King Samson was sitting on his throne, thinking about what his oracle had just told him. She had told him that great horrors shall overcome his great land of Martheus. He decided that he must seek warriors of great courage to fight the darkness that will shadow the land.
King Samson: "Lieutenant Kipus, seek forth the land far and wide to find warriors brave enough to face this danger".
Lieutenant Kipus: "Yes, my king".
Kipus exited the throne room and headed into the barracks to summon soldiers to help him. He ordered 20 swordsman and halberdiers and 30 rangers of the greatest class.
Kipus then marched out of the city of Vectris with the townspeople cheering them on and headed out into his quest. During the march, some of his soldiers talked among themselves about what might happen. Some said that all the monsters that were ever feared like Black Dragons, Medusas, Devils, Titans, Wyverns, Hydras, Cyclops, and worst of all, The Undead will gather up in large numbers and destroy everything in their path. Others said that beings from other universes with advanced technology would slaughter the planet of Terjerthon and claim it for themselves.
When they finally reached a spot that was suitable for resting, they set up camp with guards to keep watch of ambush. About 1 o'clock in the morning, when some of the guards on watch started to fall asleep, ogres, hobgoblins and trolls started to gather in the distance. They could smell the scent of human and couldn't wait to tear into the flesh. When they were ready, they charged with their weapons of clubs, bows, and throwing axes. The guards sounded a gong and all of Kipus's soldiers woke up and with great haste, put on their armor and grabbed their weapons. They had the advantage of higher ground, but Kipus could see that his army was outnumbered.
