The Araedarn Orolum
Its was the dead of night as the reflective sky above them seem to move about in the darkness casting on the paved streets and roof tops beams of light that had been reflected from the naphtha lights that darted the streets. All was subtly all was quiet all except the sounds winds to tossing the loose leaves of trees about and shaking the window shutters back and forth creating an eerie sound upon the desolate suburbs of the city.
Hiding in a dark alley away from the sight of patrolling Dwethnors were several Naridonians and there families hiding behind a huge dumpster that block the passage to the streets. Their cloths all tattered and torn, their faces were dirty and holding the look of dread and their eyes shown as black as death that stood for fear and anxiety. They held little belongings and little food. The children the mothers held were weak and thin from hunger, their huge eyes gazed into the darkness in sadness and despair. The mothers were miserable and afraid. They were afraid of losing their children from the Dwethnors and to be sold as slaves to the omniscient one. Many of the Naridon families suffered that fate and that fear held in the sky like the winds that fluttered throughout the world soaring across the skies ready to bring that terrible fate to many other innocent victims. Several of the men that sat there were scared too. Scared of losing their families to death or suffering but they too have to watch out for their own well being.
The leading man who was a tall Naridonian looked out from behind the dumpster to see if the coast was clear. His eyes darted this way and that then his eyes rested upon a corner at the end a street. He saw on the buildings wall at the end of the corner several shadows that grew bigger and bigger than suddenly he heard the stompping of feet upon the pavement that grew louder and louder. Fear suddenly engulfed the man forcing him to duck down. He turned to his comrades, who said,
"What is it Will?" at first Will couldn't answer since he was enveloped in fear that he spoke suddenly, "A group of Dwethnors are coming this way," Suddenly the whole party began to worry. Women began to clutch their children tightly in their arms with some tears suddenly forming on the faces. The men began to comfort their wives and held their children's palms. The marching became closer and closer then there came the sound of a single voice in a drilling tone, "1Arthen, Nolton, Arthen, Nolton..." The sound came louder until it came so close that the voices began to ring inside the ears of all the Naridons that hid their. The Stomping seemed to shake the ground as the sounds pounded upon their head fortunately the party manage to be quiet through the grueling moments. After a few moments the sounds began to disappear and the streets grew quieter and Will stood up to see if the coast was clear then he turned to his comrades behind him and signaled that is was over. The party stood up and began to run towards the streets away from the group of soldiers.
They ran down the streets passing empty dark buildings that were once bustling with business and happiness. They began to clear the empty city into the barren wastelands of Naridon that were out stretched before them. The stars began to twinkle in the night. Secretly looking out of a window of a tall tower stood hooded figure and cloaked wearing a white mask gazed upon the party that were fleeing the city his eyes where his eyes shown as fiery red and floated an inch above the floor. The figure took out his silver rapier and flew out of the window into the dead of night to the fortress of Norlam that stood in the center of the city. Moments later coming out of the tall tower of the Fortress flew hundreds of black cloaked figures across the night. They flew through the sky like a stream of black birds against the darkness. All were flying through the air in one direction towards the party of Naridons that escaped the city all held their rapier upon their palms ready to strike upon their prey.

Jim Silver and Jack landed on the side of a small hill in the out skirts of the city of Nolram that rose ahead of them as a dark shadow against the night. The three of the step out of the long boat and began to tie all the solar sails. In the reflective sky reflected the landscape of the terrain before them which they had to venture to get to their next destination,
"Where do we head off to next?" Asked Jim who was gazing at the sky with utter astonishment. After Silver had pack up all the thing in the long boat he turned to Jim and said, "We will have to go the Valley of Aestari in order to find the Temple of Yesuishartiri that is where we shall find the head quarters of the Bayanis which is very hard to find,"
"How will it take to find this Temple of Yesuiss-something that we should find,"
"Temple of Yesuishartiri that is the temple of God which was lost for Hundreds of Centuries until now," Said Jack who corrected Jim. Jim looked towards Jack indignantly while Silver said, "Um.. It will take about six weeks to find more of less,"
"Six weeks!" said Jim "How could we survive for..." before he could finish the sounds of screams began to appear in the distance as the three of them turned their attention to a group of people that ran towards them. They ran frantically away from a huge number of dark figures that flew on top of them. The party began to ran away from the rest when the back figures floated to the ground blocked the path of several men and women and children screaming in fear and dread. Some who torn away from the party where suddenly where knock dead on the ground by a blast that came out of the tips of the rapiers of the figures. A woman who was carrying her child tightly in her arms running away screaming was caught by one of the figures and was held down on the ground and was torn away from her child who was screaming for his mother who was now lying dead on the ground. Seeing the horror Silver took out his had gun from his robotic arm and began to fire at the figures while Jack who was full with fury took out his pistol and began to fire.
The figures that surrounded some of the Naridons turned their attention to their attacks. Suddenly they flew towards Jack and Silver and Jim and appeared abruptly in front of them. On of them grabbed the pistol away from Jack who thrown to the ground see the tip of a silver rapier in front of his face and the White mask of his attack and the fiery eyes that shown out of its eye slits.
Suddenly shoals of laser cannon balls began to appear in the distance showering upon the battle field killing several of the figures which vanished in thin air when they died. Jack's attack turned his attention to the new enemy the appeared in the hills to the right of Jack. The new attackers were Naridons all held pistols that were aimed at the figures. Gunfire from cannons and pistols resonated through the air as the figures did a counter attack with their rapiers which fired streams for fire balls that were targeted against the Naridon soldiers. Blows were exchanged between the two enemies as flashes of light and smoke and debris filled the battlefield. Moments later the figures gave up their attack and flew away into the night towards the Fortress of Nolram. The Naridon Soldiers ran towards the victim and carried them in wagons and had their wounds treated. In the hills a tall Naridonian male appeared. He turned his attention to Silver, Jim and Jack and approached them. Silver Bowed slowly and beckoned Jim and Jack to bow to. The tall man was an old man with many scars on his face which he dealt with stoically. He recognized Silver and said,
"Well John I see you have a brought the boy," he said sternly as he turned his attention to Jim who suddenly stood upright,
"Lord Gathonir finally we have met again at last this here is my friends, the famous Jim Hawkins and Jack Radford," The tall Naridon who was Lord Gathonir gazed at Jack with much interest his gazed rested upon his face creating a flame of recognition in him he turned towards Silver and said quickly, "Hurry we must get to the temple as soon as we can before the Araedarn Orolums come back I have much to tell you I know of a much shorter way to get to the temple in a few hours hurry." The cold winds of the north began to flutter all around them as the black fleet of Araedarns flew across the nighty sky like dark eagles toward the tower of the Fortress of Nolram where a man stood their gazing in the horizon. His clear blue eyes glimmered in the night as he waited for the moment where he could meet his long lost son again.

Note: Did you know that the word "Bayanis" is actually tagalog for Patriot? Tagalog is the National language of the Philippines.
The word "Yesuishartiri" that I invented part of it came from the name Yesus which means Jesus.
