“……Leave her here to die.” A rough voice said as I slowly regained conciseness. I tried to remember where I was, what happened to me, why I was hurting so badly, and more importantly who the hell was speaking and why did they want me dead? Then as more of my mind surfaced from the dark fog of pain that enveloped it I became aware that I was lying on my back on what felt like a hard forest floor. I fought harder against the pain so that I could hear what the voices were saying and try to figure out who they are because not only did I figure out that they were probably the ones who caused the pain I was in but I also didn’t dare open my eyes for fear they might decide to cause me more pain if they saw I was awake. 

            “And contact Lord Killgore. Let him know we’ve finely gotten rid of The Devil’s Hand.” Crap I would know that voice anywhere for it’s the very one that haunts my nightmares; and that voice belongs to Bloodhand commander of the Daleptogon army. The Daleptogons are a race of war hungry and blood thirsty beings that up in till about a thousand years ago they have kept themselves hidden from the human race. Not only did we have no clue that they even excised but we didn’t even know where they came from.  

In the past they pretty much left us alone for four-hundred years only coming every ten years to take more people for slaves. Then about six-hundred years ago they stopped coming all together. People believed and hoped that they had forgotten about us and the human race went on without the threat of the Daleptogons enslaving them for a hundred years. And then around 2012 which was about five-hundred years ago they came back. Turned out they hadn’t forgotten about us and had instead been watching us. When they saw that our advances in technology could cause problems for them they decided to take complete control of the human race. They killed anyone who proved a threat to them from world leaders to any scientist that worked in a field that involved weapons and destroyed any weapon that caused to much destruction such us missals nukes things like that leaving guns and small explosives that can only be used for mining and demolition. They have outlawed any and all forms of transportation from cars to planes that proved harmful to the environment and the same with power plants. For five-hundred years now we’ve lived under their dictatorship and have had very strict laws placed a pone us and some people are forced into slavery and have even stricter laws to live under then those of us who are “free” and they also have to wear slave bands on their wrist and around their necks.  

To this day we still don’t know where they were hiding or were they came from which is pretty weird seeing as they’re really hard to miss. They stand any where between seven and eight feet tall, have dark grey skin, pitch black hair yellow eyes rimed in red and pointed ears. The males of the race are very muscular have horns like a ram, rough voices and two yellow fangs that protrude from their bottom lip. While the females are the same except they are not as muscular as the males and they don’t have horns or fangs and their voices are softer.

When they returned and started to take over people tried to fight back and stop them. They received helped from Elves, who not only turned out to be real but like the Daleptogons had kept themselves hidden, that is in till the Daleptogons came and took over. During the hundred and fifty year war against the Daleptogons-which we lost-we learned that there are two types of Elves, magi-elves, and beast-elves. Magi-elves are known for their sentinel magic. Which is placed into three categories, combat-magic, defense-magic, and healing-magic. While beast-elves are known for their animal magic. They can heal animals, talk to them, control them, and even change into an animal or take a half animal form. The Elves did whatever they could to help us but in the end it didn’t even mater if they helped us or not, we were defeated and both our races were enslaved. But they did help us create alternative ways to fuel our cars and homes without harming the environment by combining their magic and our technology. So “free” people live somewhat of the same life style as we had before 2012 except that the Daleptogons still band planes and rumor has it, it’s because they are deathly scared of even the thought of flying. And no one has created any new video games movies or TV shows so we watch nothing but reruns of old shows and movies and play old games on old consoles.
