The Aestwäld Saga (12)

Recommended Posts

Previous chapter

After a very fruitfull meeting, Alric knew that his enemy, for wich he since long searched, were near. He also knew, from a farmer, that his troops were by far outnumbered... Not even speaking of their poorer equipment and training. But he had to win this fight! So if the material wouldn't win, maybe the spirit...

As such, when they reached a special stone outcrop, Alric didn't doubt and mounted the rocks. They were very smooth, almost like someone had polished them, but he finally managed to get up.

After all of his men were assembled, he started to speak:

"My dear gentlemen,

you've always served me well, and hencefor I will not ly to you. The enemy outnumbers us by far, and their equipment is way better then ours."

A silence spread out.

"But, men, we can't let them win! They hold my lady, they hold YOUR lady, and it is our duty to bring her back. And we may be outnumbered, we may be unequipped for such an important task, but will that stop us? NO! Since we are Avalonia! Our parents were brought here by the King himself, in the so-called Flight of Dragons... Well then, HEAR THE DRAGON ROAR!!! And we might even have a little surprise for them!"

The soldiers started cheering, while the wind played a little game with the Dronds banner, blewing the Blue almost to shreds and letting the Green hang still...

None of the Avalonians had ever asked themselves wether these standing stones might be erected, and so: by who?

---------------------------

Just a little build, to get myself back going, but expect something big to come soon! CC is as always very appreciated! I also really enjoyed writing that speach, hope you like it!

Thanks,

Titus

Nice rock formation, indeed it has something mysterious to it. :thumbup: The only thing I would have done differently is how the upper end of the boulder rests on the rock; it just doesn't look sturdy enough to be realistic.

On second thought, your choice might have something to do with keeping that cheese-slope horizontal. Explains the 'slippery stone' part :wink:

Nice rockwork and quite a speech! I do hope Alric and his troops will be able to live up to the contents! :wink:

And I wonder if Drond's Feelds has been home to druids or something similar in the past... :wink:
