Gard against the Labinnac

by Jet556

In search of a ring at the top of the tallest mountain in the vast, unknown Wilderness, Gard encounters a hunting party or war band of Labinnac, since with that race their is no distinguishing the two kinds of groups. To Gard, the Wilderness is sacred ground. To the Labinnac, it is hunting ground. To anyone else, the Labinnac would have started a fight. To Gard, they started a war.

Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

To the Mountains

The battle quickly took a turn from the trees to the mountains. As Gard defended himself by sending the very rocks of the mountains down upon the Labinnac it seemed that the ones that did not get killed simply got a fiercer desire to kill him. Though he began to tire of this, Gard knew that if he did not put an end to the Labinnac he'd be a dead man.

Taking a moment to rest on the side of the mountain, Gard thought about all those who were back at Wilusa. He thought of Piyamaradu, the wise Chieftain of Evabon. He thought of Ekoto, proud son of Piyamaradu. He thought of the might Zuvowang and cunning Dalv, good friends of his. He thought of Balor, his young descendant. He thought of Brigid, Balor's arranged bride and Zuvowang's young descendant whom he at one point claimed looked much like a wife of his for Zuvowang had been married more than once.

He then thought of one not at Wilusa. He thought of Kernunnos, Dalv's deformed but wise descendant who had fallen at Sengann.

Standing up, Gard once more looked down at the Labinnac. There were three of them.

They stared back up at him and they did something Gard had never known Labinnac to do. They saluted him and started to climb down the mountain.
