The Tide of Total War

Things Aren't Exactly What You Expect Them To Be

"Marcus," Said Thylrrim, "Wake up!! Come on!!"

Marcus soon rose up, with a grand pain in his head. It felt like knives digging into his head, trying to reach the sensitive brain of his. At least he could see again, he looked up onto the army and stood up.

"I don't know what happened to me.." Said Marcus, "Where is Alcred?"

"We don't know." Replied Delina, "He's not here."

"Hold on here." Said Marcus, as he marched down the dead, dirt desert. He had an idea where he could be. He didn't know why but he pain could get worse in some spots and fine in others, he went to the pathway that hurt the most. He marched down past a cliff towards his left, and found Alcred sitting there quiet.

"What are you doing here!!!" Yelled Marcus

"Oh, I was just very sad to see such a place fall apart like that. It hit me hard." Replied Alcred

"Sure, sure." Stated Marcus,

Marcus grabbed him and dragged him towards the army.

"Were going to have to question Alcred for all of this odd actions." Stated Marcus, as he dragged Alcred towards the wall with the army surrounding him.

"Now, what have you truly been doing? Because every time I get in pain in my head or if I get lightheaded, your not there. This happened twice now! Also, I don't feel like its a coincidence that you aren't there when I just pass out." Questioned Marcus,

"I don't know what your talking about." Said Alcred, head down.

"Sir!! Look out!!" Cried out Thylrrim

Suddenly, a hail of arrows blacked out the sky as Marcus and his army turned around to see what was going on. 

Marcus saw a gigantic shadow of people, and one man on a horse on top of a hill. Marcus and his men raise their shields up and block the sudden rain of arrows intruding their interrogation. The army went down the hill and charged like a stampede of scared wild boar. Marcus commanded his men to line up, while Marcus ran towards the front of the army to defend his army of grand people.

The army came down as fast as lightning as the men prepared for the wave of spears and axes heading their way to hit the little island his army was. His men raised their shields in preparation, as Marcus could start spotting the details of the men as they charge towards. He saw the man he hated the most, Aeghard. He could see the dark red in his beady eyes, he could see his long, scraggly hair and beard, like he just went through military training. He could see the crazed smile, the large scares across his eyes, cheeks and mouth. This man could be truly frightening..... Could. The army came closer and closer until Marcus's men went ahead of his stance and charged against Aeghard's army as well. It was two hurricanes colliding together to summon mass chaos. It was brightness and darkness. The eyes of both men got more anxious and ready, as Marcus sprinted towards the side of his army where he spotted and mirrored the blasphemous king Aeghard. He sprinted his hardest to catch up and finally kill such an evil demon.

He reached up towards the King Aeghard and stared him down. The two of them stood there, eyes squinted, smiles growing. 

"You fool," Yelled Aeghard, "Did you really think that I would just give up trying to hunt you down!! Why did you think we sent our best spy to get you!?"

"What!! A spy! But how!?" Asked Marcus, bewildered.

"Did you really think Alcred was your friend?! HA!! You make me laugh Marcus the Gullible!" Yelled back towards Marcus as the two armies were on a complete stalemate. The screams of Human and Elf to be reached and heard across the mountains to be contained for years.
