DragonsBlood, year 123 of the Age of Kaos

The race o Men is almost extinct, the ones that weren't killed are now slaves.
There are no more free Men in this world.

The dark forces are everywhere, Goblins and Orcs kill everything on their passage and in order to survive, Dwarves and Elves had to make alliances.
But not everyone was in favor of such alliances, clans were divided and now Elves and Dwarves are friends and foes, but all of them with one common enemy... Orcs and Goblins.

This is the Age of Kaos, i'm Argur DragonsBlood army officer and these are my chronicles.

Dalito's Tale!

Dragons Blood, year 123 of The Age of Kaos

The gates started to open, slowly the two heavy doors moved apart from each other, the hinges sounded like screams, and that was the only thing that was to hear cause the city had go silent.
 Then trough them came Dalito, he was pale and in bad shape, his horse trotted trough the city and Dalitos eyes were fixed on the Queens tower, he didn't look to no one, he didn't say a word. Argur and the prince stood there watching the man and horse fade away in the distance, the prince looked at Argur looking for a reaction, a explanation, something. Argur said in a deep voice, his eyes still fixed on the spot were Dalito had just disappeared, "Bad news my prince! Now we just need to find out how bad."
Tere was silence for a while, and then Argur looked at the prince and told him to go to the armory and train his sword fight, "I have a feeling your parents and the rest of the war council, and that includes me, are going to be really busy!"
 The little Dragon didn't say a word, he made a affirmative gesture with his head and start to walk away, then when he was three steps away he stopped and stayed there for a while in silence, "Argur!" he said.
"Yes my prince!"
"Will you tell me later what the war councils decide, and what Dalito has to say?"
Argur managed a smile, "I will." he answered.

One hour later he was sitting on the war council chambers, everyone was there. Dalito was sitting in the middle of the room, he looked sick, every eye was on him, every mouth was silent. The Queen stood up and said in a serious tone, "Thank you all for coming in such a short notice,. As you all can see Dalito is back." she walked trough the room and stopped by his side, putting a hand on his shoulder she continued, "I know you are exhausted my friend, and that you need rest, but i need you to tell everyone here what you just told me and Dragon."
"Of course my Quee." he answer.
"Three days after we left, me Jorah and Ändhul arrived at King Omega's. We were recieved as i expected, as guests. We got a audience with the king, and i explained him, Davids treachery and  told him that all were lies. That the Queen and King of Dragons Blood didn't wanted a war between our alliances. I was to late though, Davids lies have blinded Omega, they killed Jorah and Ändhul right there in front of my eyes, and told me to come back ant tell you that they are coming, and we will all die, and then they let me go. On my way back i saw some smoke coming from a farmer village, i went to check and i wish i had not." Dalito lowered his head and looked at the floor, "They were all dead. All of them. Children, old, young, dwarves, elves... no one was left. I went trough the wreckage to see if i could find some survivals... nothing. after that i found two more villages in the same way, in one of them i heard a noise from one of the burning houses and went in. There was a old dwarf, wounded he was, i pulled him out of the fire but he was dying. But before he passed away he told me what happened. I had until then thought that only Goblins could do such a terrible thing, but it happens that it was no Goblin. It was David. Omega has send his dogs out, to kill, burn and destroy every farm and innocent soul that can be of help to us. But unfortunately that is not all, from the east i saw a huge cloud of dust, i went to scout it... they are tens of thousands, orcs and goblins. I have never seen as many as this before, the are marching in our direction, five days from here maybe four."
And then he was silent.
"Thank you Dalito." the queen said, "You may go now. Get some rest, cause i will need you soon again."
 The big doors shut behind Dalito as he left the room, and only silence remained. Argur had never seen the council so quiet before, this was really bad news.
 The Queen looked at the council and then at Dragon and she said, "It looks like war is coming to us, from two different fronts, what are we to do?"
And before any of the officers could answer, Dragon the King stood up and said:
"We fight them, and we kill them!"
