The hero of Dragonwood
There once was a town named Dragonwood in this town was a mighty warrior named James, James was greatly feared and respected and this made people nervous plus he was kind of a jerk and was always boasting of his victories. So one day the town decided that they were tired of his crap and after they asked James to leave.... He did....
After James left the town he set out for a new home first he looked in a cave there was a bear in it so he killed it. and after looking around he decided it wasn't the right place for him next he went to a nearby bandit strong hold so he set out to capture it.....
James knew he had to be stealthy taking out his bow he quickly takes out one of the guards at the front entrance 2 more Guards come to investigate their friend falling to the ground, jumping down from his vantage point he lands on top of the men and puts a blade through their throats as James pears around the corner to see if there is any one nearby, someone sees him and starts to run towards him, thinking quickly he drags the body's right in front of the path after the turn, so as the man runs around the corner he trips on the bodies and is left defenseless to James's attack .....
After James has killed most of the bandits and chased off the rest from the strong hold so he sets out to tidy up " drag out the body's " the strong hold after several days he decides that the base is up to his standards and just as he was about to settle down and rest, a young boy from his old town runs in screaming his name James instinctively ran to the boy to see what was wrong.
Barely able to breath the boy says that the bandit chief was attacking the town, he told the boy to stay here and then he started to run to the town.as he arrived at the town he saw several bodies, and what was left of the bandits pitiful forces a mere 3 men including the chief ...but... They had a young women captive with a blade at her throat the chief yelled at the 2 other men to go fight, James quickly killed one from far away with his bow
he didn't have time to put it away so he smacked the other bandit in the face with it and as he fell to the ground James stabbed him with his dagger, as James turned to look at the chief, the chief slit the women's throat.
There was fire in James's eyes he began to sprint at the chief, the chief was obviously terrified so he ran up the town lookout James pursued the bandit, they both ended at the top of the tower and began sword play James was jabbing and dodging with visible hatred in his eyes, the chief knew it was only a matter of time before James would defeat and kill him so he started to fight dirty he used a smoke bomb.
Both warriors were attacking randomly until the wind blew and the smoke cleared the bandit was behind James but he had lost his sword panicking he grab some nearby rope and jumped on James and tried to choke him James struggled to get up as his vision started to haze and blacken.
With his last moments of consciousness he threw himself and the bandit off the tower and they both feel to the ground with a nasty crunch, and for a while everything was silent.... Then village started to gather around the 2 of them.
The village elder decided to Check the bodies and as he drew near, the bandit jumped up and grabbed the elder he was about to stab him when James threw a knife into his back and the bandit fell to the ground, "dead this time" the village started to gather around James they stated to apologize for making him leave but be for they could...
He stopped them and said.
"I don't want you to say sorry I had it coming always boasting of my battles and fights I needed to learn a lesson I'm just happy I was able to save this village one last time."
Some of the villagers were confused by this and asked, what do you mean last time? Then James motioned to his side reveling the large blade sticking into him, the blade which the bandit had lost during the smoke screen, it had fallen to the ground and landed strait up, at this the village grew silent again, and with his last breath James said, grow strong ......and so
They did grow stronger, they started training more Guards, building stronger walls, and preparing for the next battle, and now all around the world people hear of the mighty warriors of Dragonwood....
