POV: Guard captain of Durum village

It was normal day as always, I just kissed my wife good bye before grabbing my sword and headed out the door. The village was just starting to get up, everyone was moving with a purpose heading towards where they needed to go. I arrived at the city walls and was greeted by the officer on duty.

“How is it looking out there Daniela?

"All is quite sir she said with some boredom in her words.

Daniela was young and dreamed of honor on the battlefield, too bad for her Durum was more inland of the empire and not at the boarders. I chuckled at her.

"I know you are bored little one but that boredom means everyone here is safe.

“I guess so captain but the only excitement here is hunting the occasional wolf pack.

Before I could comment the sound of yelling could be herd at the village gate. I looked over the wall to see a young boy who looked between the age of eight or nine, he had strange tattoos on his arms that where black like his eyes and hair.

“What’s going on I called out over the wall.

“Are you the leader here the boy called out.

Years of fighting kicked in and told me this kid was not normal but it was just a kid.

"No I am not the leader here I shouted but I am in charge of protecting the people here, who are you and where is your parents?

The kid looks at me and smiles.

“My name is vile and let me say they armor you guys have on looks very splendid. Anyway I came to tell you and the people here to submit to me or be killed.

My eyes rounded, shocked at the balls on this kid to stand there in front of all these dwarves and say such a thing. Doesn’t he know us dwarves our might stubborn warriors that even some might say is even more stubborn and prideful then a dragon? Daniela burst out in a fit of laughter.

“Kid who does you think you are?

I wanted to laugh also but I’m the captain damn it but her laughter made the solders on the wall to start laughing and made me chuckle. The kid frowns and yells.

“I have warned you out of the good of my heart and you laugh at me. He starts to laugh.

“Fine in one hour I will turn your people into slaves and burn this village you care to protect.

At that moment three giant spiders shimmers in to existence. Everyone on the wall become quite, you could hear the inhale of breaths of every one there. No one even me in all my years have known a spider to do what it’s just did. Could it be a new species? It was also very much bigger then the spiders who grew up in the forest. The boy climbs onto the spider. Is he going to ride it like it’s a common horse?! The turns

“I hope you all will be ready to play he said with a smile on his face. The spiders turn and crawl into the forest. I and everyone on the wall are left with our mouths open.

POV: vile

I arrived back in the front of my lair; I am greeted by a sight that makes me smile from ear to ear. Four hundred goblins stand in neat rows, out of the four hundred there are two hundred goblins on top of the two hundred wolves, the spiders where behind them also in neat rows. Wasps flew above me in a swarm; thousands of buzzing could only be described as something to make your skin crawl. I stand in front of them, my black cloak made of magic flows in the wind.

“Everyone let’s go have fun fill our stomachs! Do not kill them all we need some alive, now let the hunt begin! They roar…and buzz causing it to echo across the forest, reaching all the way to the village Durum.

POV: guard captain of the village Durum

I was on the wall looking into the distance in deep thought when a man in his late seventy’s walks up to me.

“Remember long ago when we would sit here and watch the forest drinking a few ale to pass the time, you was just an officer under my command back then he said.

“hahaha the mighty village chief Gleam is here to talk about days of his youth, are you feeling lonely old man!

“Old! Who you calling old you baby dick rabbit!

We look at each other and laugh.

“So how we looking captain?

“The people are at the center behind barricades should all fall, did you send a messenger to fort Jard?

“Yes I have.

“Good. Let’s hope there was no real need to, we have two thousand solders here. Whatever that boy has coming we should be able to handle it.

“Is it true what the report said about the boy, could a boy that age be a magi?

“ I don’t know but if you were to been here you could have told us if he was or not.

“Captain we have all men in position.

“Good work Daniela, make sure the archers have enough arrows.

“Yes captain but is all this really needed for some brat?

“That brat had a spider that could conceal itself in front of at least four hundred troops.

“It was just spider’s captain we kill them all the time when we go hunting.

“Girl! If there where spiders that could hide like that in those woods not many of you could come back to tell the tale Said gleam.

“What could a brat do with three spiders?

At that moment roars where herd out into the forest, thousands of birds flew away over us causing every dwarf to look towards the sky. The roars went on for a while before they stopped; some men could feel the cold sweat on their back.

“Girl I only hopes and prays that what you said is all of what that boy has gleam said looking out into the distance.

I could also only look out prying that my Elly will be safe and that I make it through this to see her.
