This shortstory is an extract out of my first fantasy book called "The Clockwork of the Evil", released only in german („Das Uhrwerk des Bösen"). It's about four different friends - a dwarf, two elves and a human - on a journey through a dark and deep forest named Fallboern [Fallburn]. Please take note, that I just put the german text into the google-translator, and certainly did some corrections. I would be very pleased, if You readers could donate it and give some response about some expressions, and hinds on corrections. I appreciate. Have a good time!
