The wild pig was not 50 feet infront of me, i quietly took out my bow aiming towards the pigs chest. Right before i shot something startled the pig, out of panic i shot my bow grazing the pigs leg. It made a gross squeal before running into the bush. “Blast it!” I muttered to myself. i ran up to where i hit the pig. and found a trail of blood. “Finally my luck is changing”. i smiled with gratitude and moved on to find this pig. it didnt take long i found him without much of a problem. I walked up and pulled out my hunting knife and made quick work of it. My father taught me never to waste a good kill, as for my family is poor. I thought to myself about my family. My mother Died of onmonia, a rare dease that humans get, every other race seems to be immune to the affects of it. my father was crippled in the Orcish wars. gus leg does not work no longer. we live in a small shack up on a hill beside alkhazar with my cousin ombie. Before i knew it the pig was skinned and i took all available pork off of the pig. i walked back still thinking about my family. I was almost to my house. i could see my father plowing the fields with old bessy, and ombie pealing potatos for tonights dinner. When ombie saw me he smiled and yelled “Oh! The glorious hunter has got us food for the winter has he”? I couldnt help myself from smiling in return. “How does it feel knowing a 16 year old could hunt better then you a 21 year old ombie”? “Ha! young gabriel soon i will show you how a real bowsman shoots, i am part elf as you know”. This was true, his mother, my mothers sister. Married a elf prince and had ombie. they were killed somehow and neither my farther nor cousin will tell me what happened. right before i was about to whip out another sentance my father came limping along. they both looked oddly alike even though they had no blood relation. they both had brown hair and blueish green eyes. the big nose and sizable muscels, but my father stood at a towering 6’4 while ombie was only 5’11/ i took my mothers, abigale, side of things. deep brown hair with hazel nut eyes. “Are You to at it again? when will you two accept i am the best bowman here! now both of you go in the house. i can hear our stomachs becoming agree with us . dinner must come soon”. me and ombie just laughed and went inside looking to start cooking. When we finished and the meal was ready we all sat down together. My Father did a prayer and then we dug into our food. Around half way into the meal my father began to speak. So gabriel and ombie the carnival is tomorrow, would you two be willing to go and sell our crop? “Ofcourse we would”. ombie said almost instantly . i wasnt so sure i wanted to, alkhazar is a busy place and i liked the peace of our mountain side. but i nodded my head none the less. My father smiled and pulled out a bag of coins. He split it up and gave it to both of us. a total of a 100 minas each. “Wow father i cant accept this.. this is to much”/ ombie was about to say something but father put his hand up. “no this is my gift to you for looking after the farms as i cannot because of my injury. His injury truely cippled him, he can no long bend with out extreme pain, about the most he can do it work the plough but thats because its the horse doing all the work. “You will take that money and leave at dawn for the carnival to sell the wheat”. father said. “okay me and ombie will do that. but now i am going to bed, im very tired. i feel a storm is brewing also”. ombie nodded and i waved good bye until i exited the room. The night passed quickly as i wrote in my journal. i finally feel asleep, hearing the rain trickle down my window. a soothing sound. i woke to the large thud of a boot hitting my bed. i woke with a startle just to see ombies face looking at me. i groaned and said “why so early? it must be 5!” ombie just smiled and walked about the room. when i got dressed i walked out to see bacon sitting im the table waiting for me. my mouth started watering and i ate it quickly. then i jumped outside to meet my cousin who was already leaving. we had our cow bessy pulling a large wagon with chests on it and all our wheet. “becareful, that wheat is our life”! i said. he laughed in reply. “not very talkattive today are you ombie”? he just looked at me, his eyes were wide and said. “ill tell you about it later”. i immediatly wanted to know more but i knew to hold my tongue and keep silent. After what seemed hours we finally got to alkhazar. the city was robust with people moving everywhere and the carnival band playing. we walked through the streets, having our wagon searched by the guards. children were laughing, adults were discussing prices in shops. i didnt like how crowded streets were. the noise hurt my ears. i told ombie i would be off to the story teller to see what stories he had this time. ombie nodded and i ran off, picking up a fresh loaf of bread from the bakery before entering the carnival grounds. i saw junn sitting around. with people gathering around him. perfect timing i thought to myself. and then the story began and junn began to speak…. “As most of you know my name is junn the story teller. Today i come with abit of a different story then my usual and i bring you a story about the order of wizards! now, this is a story of the undead, and there fight against order of wizards. there was two young apprentices in the order, at the time of this story there was hundreds of wizards, all with there unique abilities, the names of these two apprentices were Iblees and availer. now these two were partners in the acadamy and did most of there work together. iblees did not much like availer, availer thought of iblees as his idol thought. inblees knew of this and took advantage of it. He got availer to do everything. he made him do the magic problems they had to do. but this did something that oblees did not expect. it made availer a strong wizard. One fatefull day iblees discoverd a book. it was not just any book. it was a necromonicon. you may ask what this book is and ill tell you what i know. i know it was a book of great power, and had the secrets to become undead. and be one of the strongest sentinet beings in aegis. iblees took it in greed. reading it day and night, remembering, never forgeting. until one day he did the ritual to become undead. write iblees mages stone turned from green to red. the council of wizards felt the sudden disturbance and put the acadamy on full alert… but it was not enough. iblees seeked power. and the councils mages stones was the key to that . the wizards formed the walls of the castle and watched and waited. they did not expect what iblees would do next. he summoned zombies in the middle of the castle, forever wizard there was 5 zombies. he watched from afar as his minions of evil struck the acadamy at the heart. there wasnt much of a fight, the acadamy fell with easy. iblees saw the council chambers were still surrounded by a shield so he moved into the city. when he got close he tried to touch the shield. it gave him a shock that would kill a normal man . he laughed at the attempt and summoned a volt of lightning to hit the shield. he heard the screams of the wizards inside dieing as they tried to maintain the shield then the screams stopped and the shield fell instantly. he walked in alone into the chamber the council members sitting in there normal seats. looking calm and firm. The head council memeber jeremy spoke. “What is the meaning of….” he wasnt able to finish iblees had killed him with a flick of his wrist iblees said ” i do this for the power”. then finished off the rest of the council. iblees did not count on availer not being at the caslte though, availer was off on a mission from the council. when he returned he saw the castle on fire. everything destroyed. when he saw this availer fell to his knees, sobbing, he was the last true wizard in aegis. thats how the council of mages fell to iblees and how our proud wizard is as strong as he is. ” junns eyes seemed glass, as if he felt sad, i thought to myself. the group clapped, and the junn walked off stage in a hurry. it was getting late and i saw ombie so i ran towards him. he grabbed my arm and rushed me into a empty tent. he said “okay now i will tell you, today your father found something” . i looked at him with confusion. “we believe it to be the mages stone of the wizard jeremy” . i stood in shock stareing at ombie. he looked gravely at me. there was a thunder outside but it was a clear day. Hmm wierd.. i thought to myself. stareing at ombie with a blank expression thinking millions of different things there was a scream outside. i looked back at ombie and then we both walked out the tent. there was smoking billowing from our house on the mountain, and undead swarming the streets. “oh lord father”! i exclaimed. i started running towards the mountain but before i could take my first few steps ombie grabbed my arm and pulled me back. “no your father knew this would happen”. i stared at him in disbelief. “your father told me to give you the stone and run grabriel , run like your life depends on it”! i couldnt find my tongue i tried to pull away one last time but ombie held firm. “listen to me you cannot go up there please trust me gabriel!”. every inch of my body wanted to run after him but something clicked him my head . i nodded and grabbed the stone and ran down the street. not looking back . people were screaming everywhere running, i almost got clocked in the head by a big man running with a shovel in his hands. some kind of dark magic from off in the distance shot a fire ball hitting a building beside me. a piece of wood splittered off and hit me in the temple, making me fall to my knees , my vision went black around the edges before i finally passed out… i woke to the warmth of a warm fire at my feet. i thought it had all been a dream. i lifted my self up and was sta
