《Saladino - El Caballero》Una muerte roja
Advertisement
Galilea. Año veinte de mi captura.
Anoche nos sorprendió una tormenta de arena. Los hombres no se atrevían ni a abrir la boca para hablar. Nos aferramos al cuello de caballos y camellos mientras olas de arena subían y bajaban a nuestro alrededor. Los sarracenos han perseguido a un gran destacamento europeo hasta el desierto. Los cruzados llevan con ellos una reliquia. Un pedazo de la Santa Cruz. Si nos hacemos con este objeto, sería un duro golpe para la moral de los enemigos cristianos de Saladino. Le pregunté a Saladino por qué estábamos aquí, a kilómetros de la civilización y el agua. Y contestó: "para traer una muerte roja a nuestros enemigos de ojos azules".
El enorme ejército cruzado se ha detenido tras dos picos llamados los Cuernos de Hattin. En los cuernos sólo hay una fuente de agua, que controla Saladino. Por la noche los sarracenos salen y derraman enormes cantidades de agua en la arena a la vista de los europeos, que enloquecen de sed. Es una crueldad digna de... un cruzado.

La lucha fue terrible: los cruzados tenían que vencer o morir. La mayoría murió. Saladino ha tratado bien a sus prisioneros proporcionándoles agua helada de las montañas y tiendas cómodas. Por primera vez en años he tenido la oportunidad de hablar con mis compatriotas, pero no sabía que decirle a estos... invasores. No todos los prisioneros fueron tratados tan dignamente. Reinaldo de Chatillon fue capturado aquí y, cumpliendo su promesa, Saladino le cortó la cabeza con su propia cimitarra. Es irónico que después de que los cruzados llegaran allí, los sarracenos se transformaran en el pueblo que parecía digno de destrucción.

Lost Concord
|| ARC ONE: FRIENDS || In the world of Jasolem all manners of beings walk the land, from docile fairies to towering titans of ancient yore. A great evil has began to stir, and it takes the most unlikeliest of forms. Forcing the powerful Gods of the world to summon heroes from another world, in a desperate bid to prepare for an evil like none other. But is this the truth? As the Gods themselves are the embodiment of a set of beliefs, ideals and raw emotion. One individual named Benedict, with nothing truly special about him save for his seemingly dour nature, is forced to flee from his former allies. Thrown outside the halls he was summoned to, and into a large world he could not properly comprehend. Armed with only his desire to survive, he must now find a way to simply live. -Greetings! This is my first story to ever be posted. As I am an amateur writer, there shall be mistakes. More so with the fact that English is not my first language. This story is a re-write, and its original version was a request by a dear friend of mine. Though hopefully this version would be far better.. As the original version was a very cringe worthy thing. Many thanks to certain friends that have convinced me to post this. I shall do my best to at least update frequently, without sacrificing the.. quality of chapters. Tags will be added as the story goes on. || Disclaimer: Much of the chapters before Chapter Twelve are of poorer quality in terms of Grammar. So do forgive me for them, by Chapter Twelve and beyond however, the quality of the chapters should have had improved. I'm hopefully gonna fix most of the earlier chapters when I hit Chapter Twenty or Thirty.

Genesis
Taryn is a mutant in a world where mutants are considered no more than monsters in human skin. The descendants of the gods rule as mortal Kings and the entire world waits for their fates to be decided in the prophesied battle between the Last Lothor King and the mutants’ Dark Prince. But Taryn believes this is all fantasy, born from legends and myth. There are no gods; only mutants who don’t know how to use their abilities, and middlings who are too afraid to even think that they should learn. Taryn is determined to change that.Her plan is a simple one: win the King to her cause and the faiths of the masses will compel them to follow. It should have been an easy enough task; the King doesn’t seem to believe in the prophecies any more than she does. But soon the ambitions of a criminal empire, the plots of warmongering officials and the looming threat of a violent faith movement begin to erode their fragile relationship and derail her plans.Can the two of them reconcile in time to prevent a civil war or will their inability to work together bring about the very thing they’ve fought so hard to avoid?
