《Taodins Legend》


 Chapter 1: Taodins Call of Arms

    It was a peacefulautmn,the harvest was bountiful and the citiziens were stocking up their food for the harsh winter to come and Ulthuan cherished its long lasting peace as the steadfast defender Tyrion fought back the Dark elves Invasion and Teclis brought prosperity with his wisdom and knowledge of the arcane winds of magic.


    In these quiet days a noble Prince named Taodin was sitting in his mansion near Elessaeli, it was next to a forest so he heard the birdsand crickets chirping. He was alone as his wife Ellaine was at the White tower of Hoeth to learn more about magic as she was only a novice and wanted to learn the more powerful and better spells to assist her Husband with his next crusade against the Pirates of Sartosa to the east that were intercepting their tradingships once in a while.Did you know this text is from a different site?

    His daughter Rinda was at Elessaeli to sharpen her smithing skills which wasn''t unusual in the High elven culture as womenhad the same privilegesas men and they were forced to join the millitary too. Taodin was enjoying the scenery of the forest until a eagle with a letter strapped on his talons landed on his balcony and it read as followed: "All noble princes of the proud High elves! The city of Elessaeli, as proud and shimmering it is, is being besieged by vile Vampires from the south! we need all the nobles to lead our armies against those who wronged us! heed our call and join us in this mighty counterattack against these undead!",


    he was suprised and full of rage, as his only daughter, Rinda was there and if theywould go as far as hurting herhe swore he would sally out to their homelands and ravage and blight every last corrupted city of those who hurted the one he held most dear!

 Chapter 2: Meet and Greet

    Taodin, being in rush, for his only heir is in danger,looked for some Paper and his Quill to write a Letter to the City of


    Lothern, he needed many Lothern Seaguard for this upcoming fight as these Vampires are sure to bring many


    abominations to battle, and where to get Lothern Seaguard than in Lothern itself, he thought. As the Sun began to sleep


    and the Night took over, he equipped his Armor and weapon,as he liked to be overcareful in these times, walked to the


    stables and rode with Malanir, his trusty steed towards Elessaeli,hope shimmering in his eyes


    Near his mansion were Villages, with some of them having a garrison of


    Archers and Spearmen, High Elven Villages arent puny and feeble like their human counterparts, these Villages could


    defend and sustain themselves. He hoped he could bribe them to join his cause to free Elessaeli from the Vampires,


    maybe they would join him as there arent many attackers in this local area and there was much honor to be won in this upcoming fight.


    In the Horizon, the sun rose from its sleep and he could see a Village in the distance, but as he came closer he saw


    something that wasn''t possible, "They weren''t meant to be here already, damn it damn it damn it!", Taodin cursed, he


    saw how children were chased by zombies, dead women and Spearmen being overwhelmed by ghouls. Taodin prayed


    to Khaine, the Blood-Handed God, for strength and pulled his sword out of the scabbard. Malanir was so fast that


    bystanders thought a blur just came out of the woods, as the Zombies closed the gap between the children, they were


    decapitated. He pulled the children on his horse and shouted in the thick of battle: "Hold on tight and dont let go, I askThis tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    you, children where is your Family?!", one of the children spoke up even though it was terrified beyond repair and said


    they were near the gates fighting them off. Taodin nodded and gave the command to Malanir to stride out, He made


    quick work of the ghouls,aiding the Spearmen in their struggle, his strikes were precise and swift furthermore Malanir


    trampled the ghouls living after the first blow of Taodin, it truly seemed like Khaine himself landed on the Battlefield to


    aid them! As the numbers slowly favored the High elves, Taodin gave the children to the Spearmen to care, so  he rode


    to the gates and descended from Malanir,as these narrow roads were unfavorable on his horse. The gates were


    damaged from what looked like spells, so the culprit must be a Necromancer!


    He saw some fellow High elves struggling against the endless hordes of Undead, they must be the family


    of the children!, Taodin thought. Two High elves, male and fenale were fighting side by side, despair in their eyes. Taodin


    tried to rush towards the two and aid them, but it was too late, the ghouls attacked ferociously and without mercy, and


    they began to waver and tire. The women fell first, as she let a ghoul attack her and not soon after many others


    followed, ripping her innards out of her feeble body. Taodin viewed this scene before his eyes, disgusted and full of rage


    he helped the male High elf who was trying his best not to cry and just give up after seeing his love killed like that.


    Taodin slaughtered the ghouls, one by one, the strikes becoming more swift and hitting the vital spots, but even Taodin


    himself couldnt hold this sheer number of ghouls alone, it was a slaughter. As all hope seemed lost and the two were


    fighting back to back, bloodied and battered, they saw something in the sky, something very very relieving.Arrows!


    Arrows as many as to blot out the sky with them! Taodin didnt fear one of those would hit him, as elven Archers were


    very accurate. The moment of impact was victory, the ghouls fell as quick as the blink of an eye. The Necromancer


    already ran away but not before Taodin gave him a glance. He was old,wrinkled and full of hatred in his eyes,speaking


    of which he seemed to have Heterochromia, that means he had a blue eye and a brown eye.  He had very worn out


    clothes, that you could even smell with all this blood in the air. The Archers and Spearmen were rushing towards Taodin


    and the one fighting beside him! Victory! Taodin asked the male: "What is your name soldier?" , "Im Gilgamesh, my


    Prince." , he answered, albeit with a sad tone. Taodin knew this feeling, helplesness and grief, he knew this far too well.


    His family was slaughtered in a Dark elven raid and all he could do was watch and hide. Taodin saw something in this


    young Gilgamesh so he asked to join him in his army to end this Invasion. Gilgamesh, with revenge in his eyes,


    accepted but he needed to bury his wife and give the children to his brother to care. Taodin accepted this, as he will try


    to recruit as many in here as possible for his cause.
