[" A BATTLE WON IS A BATTLE IN WAITING, A BATTLE LOST IS A WAR WAITING TO BE CONQUERED, "] ~King Tobias. Chapter 1:THE SIEGE Screams filled the air. Screams of terror and fear. Scent of blood and death filled on the Kings nose. Blood was splayed all around. On the gates, the walls. Ogres, had invaded the great castle of King Targaryen. The king know to all as a “god".What had befallen him was tragic. Ogres climber the castle walls trying to invade the castle. The Chieftain of the ogres tall, bulky, two horns and a double-axe on one of his hands ready to kill anything on his sovereign path. “ CHARGE!!“ King Targaryen barked orders to his men. An instant of clashing swords filled the already pungent air. The ogres bested the knight in bulk and strength but the knights had their advantage in skill and agility. Bodies dropped down on the floor like bags of sand. King Targaryen’s men dropped fast. Numbers reducing by the minute. Ogres overpowering driving them back. A pin drop silence was heard all over the battlefield as a catastrophic cloud covered the castle. Ogres, knights, the king looked up into the sky. A dark ,horrific laughter came from the cloud. The laughter was evil and one so familiar to King Targaryen. [”It can't be, “]King Targaryen said. “Oh, why can't it Targaryen, “A deep, earth shaking voice filled the scene notify everyone of its presence. A figure appeared in the sky. A tall creature embodied with wings like that of a dragon, a muscular build, two horns and a sword in hand. The Ogres bound down to the being as it landed on the ground. King Targaryen grasped the Hilt of his sword tightly than ever as beads of sweat ran down his forehead. [”We meet again Targaryen. Thou thought that thou can seal thee away, “] The Creature asked. [”Ho•••••oww••••••••••••d••i••d•••••you••••••get••out, ”]king Targaryen responded with a tremble in thy voice. The creature mover slowly towards the king. The king took steps backwards. The creature's large sword screeched on the floor with a deafening sound. With fast ,anticipated precision,swung its sword towards king Targaryen. To slow to move , king Targaryen stand rooted in place accepting his fate of death. As the blade neared his skull, a powerful blast of energy shot towards the creature pushing it back. ["Who dares harm thy sire, "]A human appeared from the shadows cloaked in blue and white with marking of runes on his hands and face. [" Its good to see thee Malen, "]King Targaryen remarked. [" It's good to see you to My King, "]the sorcerer Malen responded. Kratos, the creature's name, stood up after being pusher back. it's face changed to grim and death. [" Who dares to fight thee. I KRATOS KING OF THE UNDERWORLD, DARK LORD OF SHADOWS!! ]KRATOS said as his deep voice rose. ["Kill them all. None to be left alive. Devour every last one, "]Kratos commanded the ogres.The ogres readied their weapons for the onslaught. King Targaryen's men some retreated, some stood their ground, but who was strong enough to challenge them? King Targaryen stood his ground with the Sorcerer by his side ready to take Kratos head-on. The knight charged forward ready to kill. Archers readied their arrows. Barrage of arrows flew towards thee ogres impaling them in thy eyes making it hard to see.The clashing of swords and shields filled the battlefield. What was to become of this? A surge of dark energy came from the edge of the warzone. The earth shook violently at the immensely gustly power. " ITS KRATOS,"A man shouted as an axe decapitated his head. The King's heart beat faster, nervous he was. The Nervous, fearful King Targaryen pushed through the horde of ogres with Malen tugging right behind him. Targaryen's blade drenched in blood as he killed every ogre in his path and as Malen cast spells in every direction. And right there in front of him was, The dark Lord, Kratos channeling his power. Shadows formed around the Dark Lord forming a circle around him. [" If we don't stop him were all going to die, "]King Targaryen remarked. The Sorcerer Malen charged a blade of energy as it formed on his frail hand, He rushed formed towards Kratos. As he swung the blade in air, he took a blow to the gut throwing him back far. The chieftain of the ogres appeared in front of Malen protecting Kratos. As Malen flew through the air after the powerful blow. The king caught the sorcerer. The Sorcerer Malen coughed up blood spraying the king on his face and clothes. The King's expression changed. An expression not of fear, not of terror, not of anguish but of sheer determination and anger. The King's grip on the Hilt of his sword tightened. A mumbling of words came from the King's mouth and his sword shone bright white. The King rusher forward to challenge the chieftain. The chieftain parted the sword with his axe. Their swords clashed. A series of sparks came from their swords. Targaryen did a series of cuts on the ogres arms, legs, face. Did the king best the chieftain in combat? Who knew what was the outcome. Maybe it was , maybe it wasn't. The Knights regained their ground against the ogres with sheer hope of winning. Ogres dropped lifeless to the ground. The king satisfied with the progress of his men, he switched focus on his own battle. ["HA! HA! HA!"]The dark Lord laughed ffrom inside the circle.King Targaryen and the Chieftain looked at the direction of the laugh. [" Fall back!! "]The King shouted at his men. BOOM!! Kratos released his energy in all directions lifting up dust in the process making it hard to see. The power knocked the king down to the ground. Targaryen crawled on the floor, vision blurry, blood on his face, legs weak, chest tightening. With the help of his sword, Targaryen managed to stand up. Looking across the battlefield, only he was left. All his men dead. Lifeless. What shocked him the most was that thee ogres sacrificed their lives. Kratos appeared face front of the King. Grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up to the air. The King struggled under the sheer grip of the Dark Lord crushing him. " Thou has finally caught the great King Targaryen. Now it's time to perish, "]The dark Lord said as he laughed maniacly as his grip tightened on the King. As the King started to lose consciousness, a sword of glowing light impaled Kratos right at the center of his chest. Kratos dropped Targaryen to the floor. He turned around displeased with the sight. It was Malen. Malen uttered an incantation under his breath looking at the Dark Lord with fury in his hazel-brown eyes. The sword on Kratos chest emitted a bright light growing brighter by the minute as Malen chanted the incantion. Malens eyes changed from hazel-brown to bright white as Kratos wincer in pain. Kratos grabbed the sword to pull it out but unfortunately the light burned his clawed hands. With rage he grabbed Malen and impaled him on the blade of his chest. Malen let out a gaso but didn't stop chanting. A light came from the sky as a beam of light struck Kratos and Malen opening a void. The void swallowed them whole leaving no traces behind but a hole on the ground. Was that the end or was it the beginning of something far worse.
