Chapter 4 Illondria the Heroine ch.1

The birds sang beautifully in the trees and the grass swayed in the wind. The trees were whispering. Illondria was an elven archer who had a strong connection to nature and all living things. Just then, the conch shell sounded! The undead were threatening the woods once again! Illondria hurried as fast as her legs could carry her (which is pretty fast, even for an elf). She rushed past a babbling brook where the fish were jumping out of the water and the water was crystal clear as it formed into a larger river. She came to a large battle in a glade. The undead were advancing fast. The elves were being pushed back, and they were losing. After a minute or two of bloodshed, she dropped on her knees and started crying. The elves were defeated, and the survivors were retreating back to the forest, then suddenly as she looked in her hand, she was holding something. It was a ball of some kind. The ball itself seemed to be made of diamond and it glittered. He saw runes inscribed with gold on the ball, and when he picked it up, the runes glowed and a mysterious emerald light shone from the middle. Just then, a disembodied voice called out. "Illondria! Illondria! Illondria, do not despair, you have been chosen to make a journey to the sacred tower and fulfill your destiny. Be warned, the journey will be filled with peril and great danger, and even death."And so ended the message. I must speak with my people so I can decide what to do. She ran all the way to the senate where they were already debating what to do about the undead crisis. The leader suggested falling back even farther into the woods. Some suggested creating shields, or perhaps use sacred runes to protect them, but they all eventually agreed that wouldn't last forever. So then the senate finally agreed to fall back. Illondria was enraged but she then decides finally that the destiny the sphere promises may save her people.
