CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! My dad walked through my bedroom door with a pan and a wooden spoon.
"Get up now Luke!" He yelled.
"Ok ok jeez" I replied. I knew that I shouldn't question my father. He completely hated me. My two brothers, Caleb and Alex both despise me too. They are both wanting to join the army and fight against the elves and dwarves. Us humans need all the powerful men we can get. The dwarves have the best armor and weapons around due to the fact that they're expert forgers and then the Elves have the best aim with a bow and arrow around. Big and buff are exactly what my brothers are. They are 16 and they each weigh 250 pounds. It's all muscle and no fat. My father is no different. He is just as big as they are. He was in the military when he was my age but he retired when he was seriously injured by a dwarves battle axe. When he was in the hospital, he met a nurse who he eventually married then they gave birth to my two brothers. Then one year later, she died giving birth to me. My whole family thinks that her death was my fault so now they all hate me.
"Come on you idiot!" Caleb yelled from the kitchen "They be hear soon!" What what who'll be here?
"Who's coming!" I yelled through our tiny cottage.
"The Shadow Warriors!" Yelled Alex. "We want to be in the army so get your butt out so I can impress them." The shadow warriors are the kings elite troops who carry out all the special missions. They are the best of the best and are set with the task of recruiting members for the human's army.
"Fine!" I say as I inch my way out of bed and get dressed. I half crawl to the front door and out to the porch were every boy is lined up to be viewed by the Shadow Warriors. We then suddenly hear a horn. Next, we see a massive plume of dust from the road then we see about 100 Knights on their hourse swerving pure black armor polished so that you could use it as a mirror if you wanted. Then one gets off and says,
"I am Eric, and I am the head of the whole kings army and the leader of the Shadow Warriors. We are hear to recruit many of you for the kings army. We will inspect you and see if you are a good fit for us. If you are, please get into this wagon" as he says this he points to a horse drawn carriage "and then we will deliver you to Kings Court. If you are not chosen, you will continue your lives in this village." With that he starts walking down the rows of buys picking a few and leaving others out until Eric gets to my brothers and me.
