《The New World Beyond The Gate》Chapter 3: The Village
Advertisement
Time: [1800]
Year: [May 1, 1245 AD]
POV: [Edward]
The stench of blood is getting stronger by the hour and the fog is quickly moving in from the horizon, in a span of just a few hours our field of view could be less than a few kilometres. As darkness envelops our surroundings our field of view just keeps on getting shorter and shorter, and in no less than a few minutes we could see smoke from the far horizon, and as the men were about to get on panic, the three mechanized regiments have arrived, then shortly after the officers of each regiment came to me and started their report. The officer from the western regiment started their report first
"Reporting sir!"
"What's the situation colonel?"
"Sir! In the west there seems to be a battle going on, it was being fought by men with shields, swords and spears and their armour looks like it's made of copper and leather, furthermore sir, the two sides had different shades of colour in their armour one possess the red and the other is yellow; Sir! it looks like this world is underdeveloped"
"Hm, very well I shall take it into consideration"
Then the officer from the northern regiment came to inform me of the current situation.
"Reporting sir!"
"What's the situation in the north colonel?"
"Sir, there's a castle being besieged in the north, the defenders are wearing red and the attackers are wearing yellow, it seems sir that the current situation in this area is in a state of war."
"Hm, very well I'll consider the situation into account on who will benefit us the most"
After the officer from the northern regiment, the eastern regiment started speaking.
"Reporting sir!"
"What is the situation in the east of our location colonel?"
"Sir, there's a village being raided in the east the attackers are wearing yellow sir, I suggest saving the village to improve our relations bit by bit in the area surrounding us sir."

"How do we understand their language then?"
"Well sir, we can use sign language on them, and just hope that they understand it."
"Brilliant colonel, I shall take that into consideration of our situation."
This is a very tough situation for us, we could save the village and risk our location or stay and watch as the battle unfolds, but that wouldn't be a good reasonable thing to do, even though this is a new world for us, they are still civilians being killed mercilessly. Then again we need to procure enough resources through war or diplomacy, plus on the good side if we save this nation from being destroyed we could earn a good amount of rights to lands that we could use to harvest resources, but if they were to ever betray us were going to raze their entire country to the ground. Let's say for the meantime let's save this village that's being raided so that we could earn at least their trust and some recognition on this new world, and it looks like this world is in a state of warring times, so a simple divide and conquer plan would be feasible to use to dominate the nations on this world. After a while of more thinking, I finally concluded to save the village and so I walked up to my men and shouted.
"READY YOUR ARMS, WERE GOING TO WAR!"
"URAHHHHHHH"
"Prepare a regiment to move out first to save the village that is being raided on the east! Colonel Johnny!"

POV: [Johnny]
"Yes sir"
"I order you to lead the battalion that is going east to save the village, make sure to be friendly with the villagers and don't antagonize them, but if they were to attack you, then you're free to open fire. That's all colonel."

"Yes sir"
Though this will be a tough job I thought to myself, but I change it because after all, I'm going to save civilians that are being killed, I shall consider it an honour to me. After thinking that, I walked up towards the troops that I am going to command and said.
"Ready up!"
"Yes sir!"
We then loaded up our weapons and ammo but we didn't take any vehicles as it would cause too much noise, we wanted to move as quietly as much as possible and so we equipped our night vision goggles, the planes and helicopter is very much out of the question as it would cause too much of a great disturbance and might lead to the inhabitants to not trust us, and also due to the airfield still undergoing construction.
We then started moving out and headed east, but there exists another problem even though we have night vision goggles it is still not enough because the fog is moving rapidly from the north, and so we decided to stick close to each other and as we were getting nearer from the village the stench of the blood goes even stronger, and at that moment one of my men stepped on something.
"Hm, what's this?"
"Why not touch it?"
"Alright then"
And as the man touches the thing that he stepped on it was then revealed that it was a dead body. Shock runs through the men as the fear of being too late runs in them, we then started to go even faster because of the discovery, and not too long after, we then saw smoke a very big one at that coming from the horizon, which then signalled that the village is near, we then decided to take up position behind the trees then we observed the village.
We continued observing for a few more minutes, but it seems that there was no movement and so we then decided to take a closer look, but then again there's still no movement, so we decided to go ahead and go to the village, but then we discovered that we were too late, every single villager is dead, bodies lying everywhere the smell of blood and iron come from every surrounding. We decided to search every building in search of survivors. and there we found a man with his child, lying under a bunch of rubble from what looks like a burned down house, but the man fears us, so we then we tried to calm him down by giving him food, he looks like he trusted us a bit more, he then tried to speak to us.
"(Umm, thank you for the food, and this is my child)"
We didn't understand a single thing he said but it looks like he's thankful for the food and pointed at his child, so we then decide to do sign language, the man looks puzzled but then he said.
"(I see, you must be foreigners, I guess that pitiful sign language is good enough for me to understand at the very least)"
We used sign language to the man that we were bringing him back to the base, the man nodded, we then proceeded to return to the base with the survivor, walking upon thousands of corpses that were already beginning to rot, the man looks satisfied that he is being at least transported to a much safer area with his child.

Dragon: Birth of an Ancient
Deep in a secluded forest, within the depths of a long forgotten cave, an unnatural silence that has reigned for little over a million years is shattered as a hatchling takes its first breath. To the various species that called this world, one of seven, home, the matter seemed beyond insignificant. The hatchling, like all monsters, had no divine backing and with its age, could only be considered a lesser existence. A being to be used by the Chosen and noble monster bloodlines in their never-ending pursuit of power, fame and immortality. However, how could any of the short-lived races, Chosen and Monster alike, know that the tiny, weak, lizard-like creature was much more than it seemed. That it was an entity only spoken of in myth and legend. From a species that their ancestors, with the backing of the Gods, paid a huge price to remove. A heretical existence that threatened the fragile peace that had descended upon their world. A Dragon. ==== ** Cover done by the amazing Felix!*** I am writing this story for a friend who is currently in hospital and in a very precarious situation. He gave me the plot/ concept and, after my own health issues, I wanted to try and brighten his day and provide a distraction from the monotony of their hospital stay. I am posting it on RRL mainly in case anyone else can find enjoyment from the story and to show the readers of my other stories that I am not permanently MIA (and will 100% return to those stories in the future).
