Hey guys Funkadeli here, sorry if you were waiting but I had lots of school work that has really been stressing me out. Anyways I have finally finished the second chapter in my epic series.
Enjoy and comment plz.
Chapter 1: Night of Unrest
''What that can't be the end of the story. What happened to the dragons? Who succeeded Arthend as king?'', asked a girl of 11 years old. She had short brown hair, sapphire blue eyes and tanned skin. She was wearing a sand colour night clothes that she often decorated with sea shells she found on the beach.
''Well nobody really knows what happened to the dragons and as for who succeeded Arthend, I'm unsure'', replied a tall man with short blonde hair, brown eyes and an unusally large scar that ran across his lip.
''I still think it is just a story'', said a young boy of 16. He looked quite similar to to the man with his own brown eyes and blonde hair but his face resembled to that of the girl's face.
''Colton must you always have disbelief amidst your mind. Let me warn you that it shall never do you good'', stated the man. Colton just muttered something under his breath and went back to looking out the window of their thatched house and continued to gaze upon the night sky. The little girl then broke the silence as she climbed to bed asking ''Father how did the other races come to Ragnar'',? ''That is a good question Kira'', replied the man. ''A few years after the dragon's disappearance the Elves noticed a strange presence in the northern part of Ragnar known as ''Skyland''. The Elves went to investigate this presence that seemed alien to them and that was the moment that they came face to face with the human race. Being the kind-hearted creatures they were, the Elves allowed the humans to build their settlements in Ragnar however many times the humans angered the Elves by the pollution and the endless killing of animals. I only remember that they were constantly at each other's necks because the humans always wanted to expand their boundaries through Ragnar''.
''Of course the humans succeeded otherwise we wouldn't be here'', interupted Colton.
''Be quiet Colton'', snapped Kira.
''Kira that is no way to talk to your brother like that and Colton do not interupt me'', said the man.
''Yes Father'', Kira and Colton said in unison.
''The humans didn't succeed through violence like they did in the beginning but through negotiation. While the elves and humans were fighting over the provinces of Ragnar another intelligent but barbaric race landed in western province we now know as 'Trosys'. This race had green skin, pointy ears, similar to that of an elf and sharp teeth complete with fangs that emerged from their chin and potruded from their mouth. They called themselves the orcs''.
''These orcs you speak of are they the same creatures that are just a few days sail from our home Trosys?'', asked Colton.
''Yes they do indeed live west of here across the ocean. They are currently settled on the large island called Marcannar. I believe that they named the island Notashgar in memmory of one of their ancestors'', explained the man.
''So what happened when they came to Ragnar?'', asked Kira
''Well it is tough to say what their intentions were since no human or elf has been able to communicate with the orcs for they spoke a language that was not known by human nor elf. The orcs almost instantly attacked the humans and the elves with great rage and skill. The humans, elves and orcs both powerful and intelligent races were at war with each other. It was a complete massacre. After two years of this outrage the humans and the elves came to a truce and discussed whether a proper bond of friendship and alliance could be forged between them. Both races agreed after many weeks of negotiation over various things such as the ownership over the different provinces. At last the two races decided to become 'brothers in arms' against the blood thirsty orc race. The two noble races after 5 years managed to rid the mainland of orcs and so they fled to the island Marcannar, they haven't been seen since that bloody war''.
''I wonder what they are up to right now. Has anyone ever tried to find out?'', asked Kira
''There were a few braves souls that dared travel to that acursed island but none ever returned from that dreadful place'', answered the man.
''Father what is the story behind that scar on your face?'', asked Kira
''Now that is a story for another time my beautiful girl?'',said the man. He kissed his daughter on the fore head and gave her a blanket.
''Where are you off to?'', asked Colton still looking out the window.
''I must meet with a friend of mine in a moment. Good night you two'', said the man. He then left the small but pleasant house he and his children lived in. He flet his feet touch the soft sand as he walked past more houses. There was no one around at this time except for one man that he spotted sitting at the docks that contained the village fishing boats. He walked up to the man and sat next to the man and gazed at the endless ocean.
''So did Kira force another fairy tale out your mouth John?'', asked the man.
''Ah Agarth, you always find a way to start a conversation before anyone else does. Kira was asking about a more historical topic this time'', replied John.
''Really, what did she ask?''
John turned to look at Agarth he had a cloak on and John couldn't see much of his face. He was still staring out into the ocean as if he was waiting for something to happen. Agarth was a strange traveller and met John while he and his wife were headed to Trosys to make a home. They had been friends ever since they rescued one another from a bandit raid. Agarth never spoke of what his true goals besides travelling Ragnar.
Agarth pulled his hood back and turned to look at John. No matter how many times John saw Agarth he always felt as if he wasn't human, he did look rather strange after all. He had silver hair but looked very young and with a short beard that was also silver. His eyes had a golden tint to them that any person could easily lose their 'train of thought' just by staring at them.
''She asked a lot of questions about how this land once was and how it came to this'', replied John.
''I assume that you told her about the number of wars this land has endured''.
''Yes she was quite desperate to learn everything''.
''heh just like Kira''. ''Tell me how is this little fishing village fairing without the guards it used to have?'', asked Agarth
''We need no such protection'', replied John.
''You may need that protection when the orcs suddenly decide to attack Ragnar yet again''.
''The orcs have been gone for hundreds of years and I don't think that they will come back now'', said John
''It never hurts to be prepared, besides if they do attack it is likely that your village Karga will be their first target'',
John knew that Agarth was right and felt anger boil inside him as he remembered why the guards had left. ''That selfish king it is all his fault that we are defenceless. Hmph he says that it will help us learn how to protect ourselves bah he is just a coward so he has more and more guards protecting his fat hide'', said John.
''If the king wishes to act like this you must try to get the village to prepare themselves for danger. Ragnar is always full of surprises no matter what part of it you are in'', said Agarth trying to calm his friend down. ''Now I must leave I have important business to attend to'', said Agarth as he stood up to leave.
''Very well goodbye Agarth''
''Goodbye my friend and may the gods guide you and your children''
Agarth then made his way into the palm forest that stood behind Karga and disappeared into it. John was still sitting at the docks staring at the sea and admiring its beauty. Something suddenly caught his eye and his attention then turned toward a small island not far from shore. John could've sworn that he just saw movement and light in the small dark forest on the island. John then dismissed it and started to walk back toward his house. On the island a pair of blood red eyes peeked out from darkness and watched John walk back to his home.
Well what did you guys think. Was it good :) or was it bad :(. Give me comments and ratings. I really need to know how I am going.
