Battle Between Villages by Jason Damman
Page 1 of 3
The Bhuk rebel outfit, which used to be known as Europia was once hit hard
by another Eastern city known as Delkhi.This attack was an attempt to gain more
land for the Dhelki people to live and to farm on. Few people survived this
malicious attack, these people staying together and forming the Bhuk rebel
outfit. The name Europia was thrown, people not wanting to remember that
terrible day where everyone lost many members of their family to the hands of
the Dhelkians.
Even though the Dhelki's did manage to claim the Europian land as theirs,
the Europians, which were also later known as the Bahurians, did not give up.
Making swift attacks on important Dhelki people in the dead of the night and
stealing things under the cover of darkness to support the Bhuk cause. The Bhuk
cause was a simple and easy one to understand... To re-claim their rightful
land.
After many more years of surprise attacks and meagre theft on the Dhelki
people, the Bhuk rebel outfit felt it in their bones that it was time for
change. It was time to end all of their suffering. Without land to live on or a
village to support them, they must do what their rivals did... They must take
over a village...
Strongbad sat there in the corner of his cell shivering. He had been curled
up in a ball for the last three hours, trying to block out the feirce coldness
of his cell and to block out the sounds of bloodcurdling screams outside. He
was thier last hope and he knew it. Yet, here he was. Locked up in this cell,
not being able to do a thing. Strongbad was thrown into a cell in the town
lockup because he attacked a Palace Guard. The whole situation was over the
Guard charging him with some petty offence. He didn't believe that the city
guards were tough enough or fair enough. He labelled them weak and under
skilled, as now Strongbad's theories became fact.
The clang of swords could be heard just outside his cell window and
Strongbad started yelling for someone to let him out. He kept yelling and
yelling and didn't stop. He closed his eyes and screamed as hard as he could.
He roared until his throat started hurting, yet he still screamed. He finally
stopped, his throat burning. He then began to cough up blood.
Flaun burst into the town lockup with a set of keys. He was red in the face,
and fumbling with the keys nervously.
"I can't remember which one it is Strongbad. They are right outside this
building, they heard screaming coming from here. I must get you out of here as
fast as possible. We need you! Our town hero, Johnad, has been slain and they
are searching for Queen Mordea. They are burning everything to the ground."
Flaun spoke hurriedly and nervously glancing over his shoulder every three
seconds. He was obviously scared out of his wits. Strongbad just stood there.
Waiting. He calmly walked to the cell door and motioned for Flaun to give him
the keys. Flaun obliged, nodded and slid the keys under the cell door.
"Who has done this Flaun? Who are we fighting?" Inquired Strongbad.
"I don't know. All I know is that they are strong, they are powerful and
they are fearless. I think they are under the control of a sorcerer. We havn't
killed many of them. I think they are rebels from the south of Bhuk. They spoke
a tongue of the Bhuk language but it wasn't entirely Bhuk. Next Page Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2001 Jason Damman, sffworld.com. All rights reserved.
