Siege of Mikelgard
Posted Image

We have been under siege for two years now. Our stores are beginning to show the strain; we cannot withstand another year of this.
[There is a break in the texts]

Our warriors have assembled in their halls, ready to fight the Enemy. They were allowed to feast by our people, the food donated for the upcoming battle. Their only mantra can be heard throughout the city: "We shall not fall."
[There is a break in the texts]

The enemy is of blackness, a sort of manifestation of all things dark in the races. They come at the same time, on schedule, without fail, instantly surrounding the only entrance into Mikelgard. For we sit as a mountain, with lava flows protecting us from all other assault other than direct. Our one gap is the crater we use as an entrace. There, they form. They form out of thin air. of smoke, of ash, of...nothingness.
[There is a break in the texts]

I know that I will not fall, and so I continue onwards. Sheild on arm, spear in hard, sword at hip, javelins on my back: I will not fall. We meet them head-on, smashing striaght through the first few ranks without difficulty, until we are a good distance into their formations, when they seem to solidify. We are ambushed from our assault. An army more than three million strong, surrounded.

They attack us as one: one mind, one arm, one blow across thousands upon thousands of bodies. My fellows' sheilds do not falter: they are made to withstand the wrath of the gods. Our spears are not dulled by their weak miasma, for they are killed easily. Stab through a torso or a head, and they just dissappate, only to reform as two more soldiers, fists raised to strike.
