THE LONG AND BLOODY ROADChapter 1 ELVES LIGHT AND DARKThe workers on the Altdorf dock stared in wonder at the sight coming up the River Reik. Very few had ever seen anything like the glowing, sleek eleven ship speeding up the river, the early morning sun glaring off its wide spread sails. As the ship neared the docks, the sails were lowered in inhuman quickness and just as the men on the dock thought the ship would smash itself against the dock, the ship veered hard. Majestically, it turned and glided up to the dock, where it stopped just barely kissing the hard wood. A customs man and a squad of the dock watch forced their way through the crowd that had formed almost instantly before the docked ship. They were waiting at the base of the gangplank when two elf lords descended from the ship. Before the customs man could speak, the leading lord, whom was dressed in dark blue star spangled robes and carried a tall staff, handed him a large crystal pendant. The man looked at the pendant in curiosity and after a few minutes of shocked study handed the pendant back to the elf, bowed deeply and waved him on.As they watched the elves make their way through the crowd, the watch sergeant asked, “What was that all about?” The customs man gave short laugh and replied, "There's an imperial warrant preserved in that pendant.""An Elf with an imperial warrant, that's unusual." "Unusual, I should say so, but it is much more than unusual. It says, the bearer has the right to command in my name any imperial resources and is signed by Magnus Imperatus, Restorer of The Empire." said the customs man as he stared after the elves. "Magnus the Pious, that warrant is over 200 hundred years old. How did that elf, get such a thing?" asked the sergeant. "Think man, that elf received it from the hand of Magnus himself for saving the Empire, that's Teclis, the high Elf Mage." "Teclis" "Yes Teclis, and I wonder what horror walks the earth to bring him here now?" said the man a tremble in his voice as the full implication of the event hit him. "What horror indeed," thought Teclis as he led his companion Eltharion through the crowd way from the dock, "Gods I'm not sure that even I know all the horrors involved in my mission." The two elves walked away from the dock and glided their way toward the center of the city. As they moved away from the dock, they soon developed a tailing crowd of street urchins. The kids followed them staring in wonder at the tall elves. Pointing at the tall wizard's staff Teclis carried. Whispering amongst themselves about the strangely glowing rune blades strapped to their sides. "Gods, there are so many of them" Exclaimed Eltharion, staring back at the dirty faced boys and girls, a slight smile of delight on his grim face.  Eltharion Lord Protector of
Tor Yvress
"Yes there are. I have forgotten just how much a shock it is
to see so many children in one place," said Teclis with a
laugh. |
