Hey guys, I'm a Royal Marine and in my spare time I like to write short stories. I would love feedback and criticism on this. So pull up a chair and sit down and enjoy the story! Many hundreds of years ago, on the planes of Ferrarhim, two armies stood face to face, the Humans, Elves, Dwarves and cat like Karish' Sieron, stood on one side of the empty plane. On the other an army of, Orcs, Minotaurs, Centaurs and other hideous beings stood, every last being on the field, dressed in armor. The two sides stood silently, as the wind blew through the field bending the blades of grass, it could be heard whistling between the soldiers of the two sides, waiting to face off. "For Fenghoul!" Shouted a particularly nasty looking Orc, Rahaz Fyeron, at the front of his respective army. "For Queen Morandria!" Bellowed the alliance of Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Karish Sieron. The two sides began to run towards each other at such frightening paces, as iron boots, hooves and claws could be heard destroying the ground beneath them. At the front of the Alliance's army was Daniel McDertron, A knight who was a strong follower of the light. He had slayed beasts in his time but would never be prepared for what was to come. Suddenly the two sides collided and there was a mighty crash, as Daniel's blade struck down through the chest of a Centaur ripping his torso in half the gruesome thick black goop they call their blood was expelled from the exposed veins at a high pace. "Argh" Daniel cried as he swung round clubbing an orc with his shield before thrusting a vicious stab through his throat. Suddenly Daniel felt a shiver as he saw the body of an old friend hit the floor next to him, accompanied by a falling minotaur as they had both been pierced Rahaz's blade. "Come my pet!" Rahaz's voice roared across the field. Daniel, took a swing at him and started fighting him back into the middle of the battle field but it was too late, Rahaz's call had been heard. Suddenly a shadow was seen over the battle field as ear cutting screech was heard causing a momentary pause on the battle field. Suddenly in the sky was a hideous black dragon with fangs as rotten and breath as putrid, as the corpse of a man left too long. The dragon began eating and destroying people on the battlefield as it coughed up gigantic fireballs. Daniel was dazed allowing Rahaz to seize an opportunity to push Daniel to the floor. Daniel stared up terrified as Rahaz stared down at him. "Any last words, you're poor, disgusting excuse of a warrior?" he breathed under his breath. Screams of agony could be heard over him in the back ground as he stared maniacally at Daniel. "I will not lose to your darkness Rahaz, Fenghoul shall fall" Daniel said as he spat back up at Rahaz, he sliced at Rahaz's legs they began to take part in an epic battle completely ignoring all that is happening around them. As Rahaz's dragon continued to attack the battle field there was a sudden lack of its squeals and screeches, as it stopped dead in its track to see a Knight wearing the finest, brightest armor ever seen, riding a cloud holding only a Sword that spanned a great eight foot in length. The warrior, Joelandrir Draytonius, The Sky Knight was before believed only to be part of legend. Told by parents to allow their children an easy night's sleep. Joelandrir Draytonius, jumped from his cloud and with one mighty swing beheaded Rahaz's dragon. Blood spewed out of it both its dismembered head and its now flailing wildly neck as the body hit the floor with a crash, like thunder. He then landed gently next to the destroyed dragon before ferociously swiping at all now opposing enemies, he fought his way to stand beside Daniel in the center as enemies continued to charge at them Rahaz again took daniel to the floor and as he blade. Was heading towards Daniel, a glimpse of joy spread across his bloodied face, as he saw Joelandrir's blade rip through the chest of Rahaz causing an eruption of blood and innards to land around Daniel. The battle continued to rage on until all the beasts were slain and only a few of the Alliance were left standing. Joelandrir pulled Daniel aside "You have done well, friend" He smiled and now a gift to you from the Heavens, Daniel turned around to see Abigail Powelleta his former lover, once slain by Rahaz, "Bare her your soul, young man" Joelandrir smiled as he went to depart. "Wait!" Daniel called after him "Thank you!" he smiled. Abigail and Daniel were reunited and they thought it was over but alas, Fenghoul him self arrived on the battle field, "Joelandrir!" Daniel called after him "We still need you" "This is your battle" Joelandrir said staring at Daniel, "but I leave you not without hope." he passed Daniel a sword, "it is made of the wings of an angel, take it and rid this world of evil" Following his orders, Daniel drew the blade up it was as light as feathers but as strong as diamond. He charged at the mighty dark lord Fenghoul and a battle between them commenced, ending only when daniel beheaded Fenghoul and raised his head above him shouting triumphantly "Peace be amongst all beings! The evil is gone" Daniel and Abigail returned to the kingdom to be greeted by queen Morandria, who spoke highly of them. "I could not of done it, without the Sky Knight" Daniel said to her solemnly as he knew how many men had been lost. "The Sky Knight?" Morandria asked "You saw him?" "I spoke to him" Daniel replied humbly. "Did he mention me?" Morandria asked a slight smile on her face. "No, he gave me back my lover though. Why do you ask so many questions, what do you know of him? Why would he mention you?" Daniel asked now suspicious of his queen. "He returned her as you served light well, the same reason he lost his lover, and she lost him, I asked because I was that lover and he died, protecting me from Fenghoul." As they parted ways after more conversing and stories of the Sky Knight, Morandria headed to the top of the tower where waiting for her was Joelandrir. "You know I can't be with you" he said to her "find new love for me" "I cannot" she replied "I will wait for my death, so we can reunite in the heavens." Joelandrir smiled as he faded away, and a gleam could be seen in the clouds. Morandria merely smiled as a lone tear fell down her face.
