Prologue
Immediately following the events of "The Fall of Valhalla"

The armies of Utgar awoke on an island in the midst of a vast field of lava, deep with the underworld of the Volcarren Wastes. The Obsidian Guard walked away, their allegiance with Utgar finalized, they had no reason to stay. Concan, his body healed, but weak, crashed amongst the Utgar army. He knew his fate.
"This is what Ullar meant. He knew this would happen."
"Knew?" Brunak said, moving up behind Concan, "You lead us to our doom, Kyrie." He spat the last word.
Concan turned, "I was doing the will of Utgar. You failed him when you ran away from the battle. I at least fought to the bitter end."
The ground suddenly began to shake. Concan turned his head in time to see an orc grut lift into the air and vanish.
"What was that?" he asked.
The orc riding Grimnak spoke, "His name was Ornak."
*****

Denrick's body was prepared for burial. It was carried to Weston, and buried in the Field of Heroes. Morsbane knelt by the grave, "You will not hear this, but I am sorry to have doubted you. You have proven yourself beyond any doubt. You saved Valhalla."
Morsbane looked up at the knights and elves gathereed together, "Sir Gilbert, you served with Denrick the longest, would you like to...."
Sir Gilbert floated into the air and vanished. Morsbane looked at the shocked faces in the gathering.
He was about to speak when Acohlar the Elf Wizard was raised into the air and vanished.
******

The Einar city of Mato stood on a mountain overlooking the plains of Izumi. Hatamato Taro, lord of Mato, stood on a balcony. His servants ruched back and forth, preparing for the feast of the hundredth day. Hatamato Taro was lifted into the air and vanished.
******

In the northern forests, Laglor the Alphallon lay bleeding. His leg had been ripped off. He was blinded in one eye. Standing over him was an Elite Onyx Viper. Laglor was preparing to die when he lifted into the air and disappeared.
******

The five who were taken stood in a dark room. They could see each other, but nothing else.
"What is the meaning of this?" Acohlar spat.
Laglor finally noticed that his wounds had healed.
A voice boomed above them, "You are the chosen five. I am Odin, lord of Valhalla. I have chosen you five for a special task. You will bear the flags for your general. You each have the skills necessary for this task. I have grown tired of the endless bickering in Valhalla. You five will help end it all."
Ornak raised his hand, "You think..."
Odin silenced them all, "I have my reasons for choosing you. Return to where you were. Overcome your first obstacles. You will see why you were chosen."

That is the best line in all of your stories. Clever way to fit that one in.

theats · #11 November 28th, 2006, 08:54 PM

pictures of something to represent what he is talking about.

Here are links to his other stories

Part 1: Trials of Syvarris <--Written second
Part 2: (I think Fall of Valhalla, but that might be the name of the overall story <-- Written first
And then this thread is part 3: The Flagbearer Wars.

As you can see they are just fine without the pictures.

However, we (me and draconus are in the same hs group) are thinking of making some scenarios and/or diorama type pictures to go with the stories. If so those pictures would definitely get posted.
