Battle of right

Continent of Eldonia

• Devinrite , east elven stronghold

• 1234, year of snow

The elven army gathers to defend their last stronghold as the human army approaches . After the upset victories against humans on two major fronts .

Magnus, the elf from the dark keep ,stands atop the keep of Devinrite glaring into the smoking horizon , waiting for the enemy to arrive, he is lost in his fore planning on what's the worst they can a expect from the lower race such as humans.

Wondering how could they even over come the mages of "blue keep" which now is under the human control, the keep gave them enough equipment to take over the" Spring hold " castle

Now in the east only Devin right remains.

As he is lost in analysing the current situation, he over heard two elven soldiers Say " Armour with a burning sword , is that one of the freaks from the dark keep ?" says one elven soldier "yes non from the west sent their help and now this freak thinks he's doing us a favour , good for nothing swine " replies the second soldier.

Hearing it he diverts his golden eyed glare toward the two soldiers saying " This good for nothing swine might end up cleaning shits off your corpses pants when you are decapitated in the battlefield by some humans."

"We will see who shits whose pants after we have defeated the low born worms like humans and then maybe it's the dark elves turn to die for treason for not sporting the elven kind against the low born" replied the soldier " Making an other enemy before defeating the first , hmm, so very wise of you and why would westerners help you if they send their army to defend your matters their own homes would be left ripe for taking all humans have to do then would be to go west instead of east " replied Magnus "you look to bold to be such piss pant hearing just the word of some maggot human " said the soldier ," don't you think you are underestimating the opponent that pushed you to the last line of defence " says Magnus calmly with not a hint of anger or offence on his face.

"You western peasants always seem to think you are equal to the ruling higher elves , one day we will come and crush your attitude you shit " says the soldier.

"Hm , wonder what makes humans and dark elves hate you people so much , guess we will never know " Replied Magnus with a hint of smile .

Clad a higher elf sees all this and interrupts by saying "Lads we are on the same side here let not the heads roll before they must shall we , and what could a human army half our size could do to us sir .... " Magnus replied" Am Magnus of Renzenberg "as they walk away from the guards

"A lesser enemy prepares for your best and mostly those who consider them selves higher sir Claud often end up making mistakes

Giving their worst in arrogance , then arrogance is what they take to their graves " Says Magnus

"Perhaps your right Magnus.. but might I ask how you know my name?" Asks Claud . "you have quite a reputation in our dark elf kingdoms for you valiant expeditions against dark elven women and children and farmers .. you butcher them quite well and stomp them thorough with your horses ... speaking of which where is our cavalry? " Asks Magnus, " If I remember correctly those "innocents " butchered half my infantry and were in open rebellion against the higher elves it's my job to keep this place at peace and if I have to crush some rebellious heads and get my hands dirty so be it .. and our cavalry isn't here because we were anticipating an attack on spring fields since it has more fertile lands and riches ...." said Claud " Yea tell this to those of your own kind you have butchered , the women you widowed the children u orphaned " said Magnus with an ironic smirk "and as I recall your flaming sword guild is neutral and stick to killing the monstrosities that emerged in the 4 realms after the collapse?" Asked Claud as they are interrupted by the bells as the Elven king begins to speak.

"My brothers, my children , I was here when the collapse took place , I was here when humans arrived to our land , we gave them a place to stay , we gave them our food to eat , our lands to harvest we accepted them and treated them as friends . Now the hound that we fed have come to bite our hand . To take from us the lands that belonged to our fathers , to take from us the memories of our ancestors to take from us our identity

If the enemy succeeds today our children would never see the freedom that we ever did , our mothers would be slaves our kin would be labourers and worker in the land their ancestors made fertile with their blood.. Today is the battle of survival of our kind " king Armiton was going as the war bells rung

"Get to your positions lads let's show them what fire they have put their hands in , I'II be in the front line " says Claud as he put on his armour on ..

The human forces begin appearing near the horizon the combination of black and red banners over the horizon is visible they seem to be quite in number But all infantry, led by the self proclaimed king William Anglion . Which the local humans called the God of freedom.

Magnus is at his position in the rare as he hear an elf point out " They don't seem to have any spears they would have a hard time dying with just broad swords and shields" as he laughs it off .

Magnus seems a bit shocked as he was not expecting that because they have taken big keeps from elves so how could they possibly defeat them with so ill equipped force.

King William comes to the canter of the field with his armour painted with red raven Claud goes to meet him in the centre of the field to discuss.. "Take your flock home this place has seen enough blood ahead already let them go to their wives their children and let us go to ours no freedom come of blood " says Claud " I have seen my little sister being fed to the dogs by a higher elf because she was not good labour and was an extra mouth to feed , am not a king I am not a God am just a man who has seen too much blood shed of my kind and talks have done nothing I have seen humans forced to reproduce to make men to run your farms to milk your cattle , we here are an army off dead men, we here are an army of blood, we here are an army of freedom" Says king William Anglion as the army behind him cheers "you know you are half our numbers and you don't stand a chance , this is our ancestral gift we will fight for it and will keep fighting " Says Claud " No ancestral right can justify the murder killing and brutality we have suffer at your hands for just the reason that we are different , and speaking of ancestors our ancestors left us a gift too a gift of knowledge " says William with a satisfied look " knowledge ? You going to throw books at us mad king ? " Says Claud taunting him "yes!" replies the king

After some times both parties go to their respective armies .

The elves make a shield wall and humans do the same ...

As they come at each other and their shields collide the elven mages light the blue fire behind the human army, some are vaporized instantly by the flames the others would too if the move back.

There is archer fire from both sides and Magnus uses a rock as a cover from the arrows as rare barely have any cover and archers from rare cant shoot the front line as risk of friendly fire .

The elven army starts pushing humans back ,front lines of both a yet unbroken and humans are being pushed into the fire that circles them in the C shape and they cant even move to flank the elven army .

The even army mobilizes a group of archers to move around to the flank of human army .

As it was on it's way with Magnus and some other infantrymen protecting it .

Suddenly their is a huge series of clattering sounds and a little smoke could be seen coming from the front line .. and with that the whole elven front line has fallen in an instance , as they are in shock to know what happened the human front line ducks down and before the 2nd line of elves could comprehend what has happened there's an other clatter and 1/3rd of the elven infantry are whipped out and then the war erupts into chaos .

Magnus kills some of the infantry by his sword that burns when in battle and he notices the weird sword design and as he is fighting he hears the clatters irregularly and he noticed the mages from the walls have also fallen. As he sees a fiery ball erupt from the sword of one of his foes piercing his armour and he can feel the blood gushing out from his shoulder . He goes unconscious knowing that the last stronghold of elves in east part of Eldonia has fallen to humans...
