• The Arbiters


    A chilling shadow sweeped across the plain as a lone rider traversed the open plains.
    Glad in a dark green cloak hiding his face from enemy eyes and his bow and sword
    clung to his back waiting for its next taste of blood. The rider known as shadow
    rushed on towards the land of Almia where his friend, King Sharp claw was under
    attack from his brother nightshade who was leading an army of dark warriors and
    demons towards Sharpclaw's castle. Knowing the danger ahead Shadow urged his
    stead on by shear willpower. Even with the vast distance between him and Sharpclaw
    Shadow's wolf eyes could still see the battle towers advance on the castle. While
    Nightshade's huge army had surrounded the entire castle.

    Within a mile or so from the battle Shadow could see the bodies of many warriors
    scattered along the plains occasionally beside a demon or two. The dark forces had
    decimated their bodies and had thrown their yellow and gold sun armor in the river.
    This only infuriated Shadow more as he quickly approached the edge of the plains.

    Just as Shadow passed the border of Almia forest he saw an enormous amount of
    arrows coming from the forest shoot directly over his head and landed among the
    demons killing many of them. Shadow looked deep into the forest and saw them,
    Sharpclaws rangers all bearing the symbol of the sun on their cloaks. A lone ranger
    emerged from the forest and embraced Shadow in his arms. It was one of Shadow's
    captains (Shadow is the leader of an army of very skilled rangers).

    “Its great to see you again Shadow” The ranger called Alex said

    “you too how did you get here and are you still taking care of my rangers?”Shadow asked

    “Sharpclaw asked us for help so I brought half of your army to help”He told Shadow

    “Right well I think we should stop talking and figure out what to do”he responded

    “We are ready to follow your orders sir and we have reinforcements from Sharpclaw's
    rangers who are currently held up behind us”Alex said

    “Okay tell them to hold their positions and continue firing on these beasts while me
    and my rangers cut our way through them till we meet up with Sharpclaw and I want
    you to stay here and keep the men in order now fall out we have work to do! he explained
    as Alex ran back and gave the men their orders.

    As soon as they were prepared they moved to our designated positions waiting for the signal.
    Alex and his men were soon unsee able in their special cloaks waiting for shadows readiness.

    Shadow on the other hand had used his power to turn all his men invisible and was ready
    to move off at any time.

    Then when the time was right Alex signaled his men to fire unleashing a storm of arrows
    right on top of the demons.

    The beasts had no idea what was happening till half of their platoon was gone and by then
    Shadow was silently moving under the cover of Alex's men who were skillfully avoiding
    the side Shadow was on.

    Shadow looked across the battle field watching the demonss move toward the forest after
    finally noticing their fallen comrades. This providing a passage for Shadow who leading
    his men forward towards the large gold gates glad with symbols of the sun empire.

    Shadow was nearing his objective as a fierce battle cry roared behind the gate as the last
    tower was thrown away from the walls.

    The supposed ultimate warriors of darkness were in turmoil as the gates were flung open
    and the fierce sun warriors emerged led by Shadow's best friend Sharpclaw.

    As Sharpclaw and his knights clashed against the line of Demons tearing them apart, Shadow
    charged forward calling his men to action as he cut his way through the line towards his
    friend.

    Sharpclaw saw him coming and was only spurred on further as his golden sword came
    down on any who got in his way. Quickly he gathered up his energy and released a huge
    ball of light that vaporised the remaining forces around him as Shadow and Alex destroyed
    the last remnants of Nightshade's army and Nightshade himself who had been driven away when Shadow confronted him and broke his sword. Shadow being a kind and gentle person would never hurt an unarmed opponent and let him flee back to his Kingdom.

    After all the dirty work was done and the remains of those foul beasts littered the battle
    field had been burned Sharpclaw,Alex and Shadow had a meeting on the battle field
    as Shadow did not want to stay in the city and Sharpclaw had came out to see him when the
    introductions were over the two kings and commander were shocked to find that not only
    had only 10 of Sharpclaw's men died but there was very little of the enemy left but scouts
    had reported that a large group of Demons were heading towards them. What was even
    worse was that this battalion had thirty times the amount of soldiers .

    “What should we do Shadow with much respect our army is not big enough to defend
    against an army that size and reinforcements are leagues away” Sharpclaw groaned.

    “Not quite my friend as much as I wish it were true I have 10,000 rangers waiting
    only a few hundred meters away in the forest waiting for my command” Shadow said

    “Sir we have incoming reports from riders that the Swans (Another army led by Clearwater
    an honorable lady who is the symbol of grace) are heading towards our location”.

    “good for now reassemble your forces behind the wall and suit up they will be here soon”.
