A Dwarven Legend (3 ratings) by Ashgan, the Weary
Page 2 of 2 His eyes glowed golden yellow and as he opened his mouth, lightning could be
seen rising in his throat. He was clad in silver and his helm bore the wings of
a thunderbird on both sides. The great hammer in his hands was a spiritual
weapon with a soul of its own pulsating deep within its steel core. The foe was
stunned by his appearance and hadn’t the chance to react before he smashed the
hammer into the ground and destroyed all of those close around him while
blinding the others with a giant spark which leapt into the air. He continued
his attack by spinning the weapon around him and running into the bodies of his
captors. The effect was of a whirlwind in a field of dandelions. As he flew
tirelessly through the tunnels of darkness, the panic spread throughout the
underground kingdom. Greater demons were aroused and they had come to punish
the order - breakers. Three winged monstrosities came his way and he stopped to
look at the towering beasts in front of him. All at once they shot at him with
their fier
y breaths but he stood like a mountain in the wake of a tidal wave. When they
had to catch their breaths, he was at them with all his ferocity and jumped
high into the air to aim at their great, horned skulls. He swung his hammer so
quickly that in the same jump he managed to hit all of the three heads and
crush them all. The exhilaration he felt was tremendous. He kept on speeding
and smelled some fresher air. The dwarf’s heart wavered as the exit into the
cold night opened in front of him. There was still some time left until morn
and he absorbed all of the moments during that time. He then heard the cold
voice of death calling him. "Aye, ‘tis time to die." he said.
