The Battle For The West Book 1

The battle of the west (Book 1)

One long and dark night one little man slept. His slumber was peaceful. Until his dream reached something large. Something shadowed over him. Huge it was before his eyes. He looked to his left to see a row of people all in armor,wielding axe and spears. The men were taller than him.He stood and watched as they stood staring towards a mountain when they moved. Each raised their leg into the air,slamming their feet upon the ground. All together the noise was terrifying. The clanking and blaming of metal created a loud boom throughout the mountain side. Our hero walked forward into the rows and rows. Each wielding a weapon they marched forward and in the midst was our hero, Gliod Timothy.He stood in an opening of the crowd of rows and rows of the men. Each then yelled loudly and the scream was worse than before. The screams echoed as the army ran forward. Staying in formation they ran to a gate. Behind them came a ram. Its wood and splinters rolled forward. Men of great size pushed it forward to the large gate. The men stopped and as ordered the wooden log was pulled back with a rope of great length. Then the ram's wooden log rammed into the mountain only splintering the gate in their way,once they yelled.

"Pull the ram!!"

The men holding the ram followed and pulled the rope holding it again. They pulled back and held. The rope with great tension swaid in the air above the men of formation below. The men holding on let go and it was swung forward into the gate. The gate gave way and the men of formation ran forward. And with them ran Gliod. The army was rushed as the men behind the gate ran forward and attacked. The two armies clashed into a long line of swords, spears, and shields clashing in an ongoing fight for the mountain. The mountain,he was in the mountain of the west. The stretching mountain of great wealth. The richest and wisest dug caverns into the mountain. Inside of one of the caverns is all of the books of the past. All the knowledge of the world. The wisest man to live dug his own cavern and built a large library where he trained those of the poor. The people of the mountain, the rich, hadn't wanted the poor to find their wealth and killed the men of the poor. They wanted the poor people to come to remove of the wise one but they had refused as the grey bearded was their friend.

So the rich then gathered outside of The Grey Beardeds gate. They broke the door and killed The Grey Bearded. His body was removed and his home was burned and raided for the contents inside. The rich thought they had killed the grey beard but trouble came. News of the Grey Beard dead spread far and wide. Very few could care as they were not one of the rich but the giants thought of other. They could be heard from miles away as the caverns in the mountains shook. The rich questioned and ran to the outside. They saw the giants towards coming to The Grey Beard's home. They stayed and grabbed weapons but it would not do anything as the giants brought an army of their forces. The rich's small swords could not do anything to them. The giants came to the entrance but couldn't fit through. They weren't safe though. The giants at the gate were to large to go inside but the small children weren't. In shere desperate the giant's children ran inside and wreaked havoc inside the caverns killing the rich. The children lost their way inside and grew into the caves.

After the rich were killed of,the poor from the town below came exploring. They found the gate of the great Grey Bearded. His gate was destroyed. They traveled in and found the remains of the rich. Deeper inside lied the giants of the caves. They slept there until The Town Of Below killed them all. The caves were theirs and as they rebuilt they built large structures but one stood out. The Spindal it was called. They lived inside and fought for their lands but today in this strange dream they fought their worst enemies. The Men of The East. their camps were large as they thrived in the east and in parts of the west. The armies lined in rows in the valley before The Spindal. The Men of The East ran forward, into the gate to destroy The Spindal and take the mountain.

But as Gliod ran into the fighting he was pushed forward through the men of The east and as he fell forward a sword slashed into Gliod. His armor he wore was ripped from him. He jumped up in his small bed. He breathed heavy and looked around. His small room was lit with light from the three suns of outside. He took a minute to realize what he saw.He swung his feet over the side of the bed and let his feet hit the floor he felt where that sword hit him. In the leg he felt where the scar was. Across the room stood a mirror. He looked at himself.
