The Rise of Orion
Chapter 1
The night was old in Azarkand as was every night before it, but tonight the sky was scorched with blood and the wind screamed of death, war drums could be heard in the background, they rattled in a tuneless rhapsody, a tune used to strike fear into helpless townsfolk moments before their imminent doom in a raid, it was a tactic used widely by a band of goblins which called themselves 'The spear of Kord' a raiding party made all the more deadly by their fanatical orc leader Morgurth.
As expected the terrifying tuneless drum played on and a large horde of goblins herded a large group of townsfolk across a bridge, the townsfolk quickly learned they had been sheparded into a trap, all about them was fire and burning trees their only escape was the bridge they had just crossed, as they looked back they saw one of the people they were running with standing on the bridge they had crossed, he wore black robes covering almost his entire body but for a glimmer of shinning silver just showing itself from the cuff of the mysterious figure.
Morgurth stepped forward axe in hand and addressed the cloaked figure in an elvish tongue "Step aside elf, or fall to the might of our beloved god Kord", the cloaked figure raised his head and replied "Kord...ha you worship a god that doesn't even recognise your ideals, and a weak god a that" Morgurth was obviously enraged and attacked "you blasphemous elf, your life ends here" Morgurth swung with his axe again and again but hit nothing but air, the elf reached out and touched Morgurth on the cheek, all who dare to watch were stunned as Morgurth was frozen in ice, the elf shattered Morgurth with one kick "Worthless scum, Take heed of this and learn, the spear of kord is no more, leave now or I will send all of you to your graves" the goblins looked terrified at the death of their leader but they stood firm until the tallest of them spoke "Touching speech elf.....but like it or not were coming through" The cloaked elf let out a maniacal laugh "So be it fool, I was getting bored anyway" within a second of saying this the elf began to recite something in an ancient tongue when the elf had finished he shot a large purple orb at the goblins who were already charging it exploded with a strange fire within the goblin ranks utterly desecrating them only five were left by the time they reached the elf but still they attacked, all of their attacks were rendered useless, the elf just seemed to possess phenomenal speed, he parried every attack and with a few swift moments the goblins dropped to the floor lifeless, the warrior spat at the ground before them and said "My name is Orion Nightbringer you fools, take that name to kord and tell him who his servants were defeated by".
