     The Prologue for The Dream: The Great War.
*REVISITED*

 

            It was a very gloomy day. The clouds were as thick as dirt and blocked out all of the sunlight. The people of Windfall were all in there homes trying to get warm by the fire, except one, his name Tensay. He had no friends and no family left. The Great War has taken there lives, his friends and his family. His father was part of the Elvin army, a very great general, and his mother was a first class archer. They were a happy family, Tensay was 10 and it was his birthday, he was so excited when he got to open all of his presents, but then his parents got called to the base because the Ancients were attacking. His parents burst through the door with there armor and weapons and raced down to the base. He saw other Elf’s running to the base too. He was scared he didn’t know what to do. So he went to his room and grabbed his sword and his armor and ran out the door too. There was smoke everywhere and he couldn’t see a thing, but he just kept on running to the base. Then out of the smoke he saw an Ancient burst through the fog and came right at him. The Ancient was on some sort of horse but Tensay couldn’t figure out what type he was on. Tensay raised his sword to brace for impact when out of the smoke an Elf came running up to him, it was his father. His father pushed him out of the way and sliced at the Ancient. The Ancient stabbed Tensay’s father right in the chest but not before he could slice of the Ancients head. Tensay ran to his fathers’ side and tried to pull the spear out but his father just smiled and said, “We all die son, some just die sooner then others.” Then he went cold. Tensay grabbed his father’s sword and swore he would never die, he couldn’t die, and his father just gave his life for his. He will have revenge on the Ancients for this. Then he charge into battle.

 

            Tensay laid there in his bed and looked up at the ceiling. He just had yet horribly dream of his childhood, of when his parents were killed in battle. He was now 23, grown up and was married to a fellow Elf, her name Masuy. She was a very sweet and gentle girl. Tensay meet her in the orphanage when they were teenagers, she to lost her parents to The Great War. They had two children Laos, the little child, and Leon, the older child. They were all a happy family and lived in Windfall, the Elvin village. It was the time of peace, there was a ban on all use of weapons with out a license; the Imperials put this law into affect after The Great War against the Elves and the Ancients. The Elves won, but lost many lives. They had to curse all of the Ancients. It was a most brutal curse to, to become the undead. The Ancients were furious; the only way to break the curse was to find the sacred scroll of Neron. This scroll was hided in an ancient temple that was long forget were it was. Now the Ancients have spent many years looking for this temple to regain the power they once had.

 

            Even though it was the time of peace there was a group of people who calls themselves the Rebels. The Rebels were mostly made up of outcasts, people who were slaves and ran away. Most of them are Humans, and others are Elves, all of them under Imperial law and they hated the King. The Rebels have planted bombs and started riots and even went through Imperial villages and started the whole thing on fire. The king was furious and wanted nothing more then to destroy each and everyone of there filthy heads and end the war against the Rebels so they could concentrate on the Ancients. But the Rebels were stubborn and continued to destroy Imperial property.   

 

            Tensay decide to be a mercenary, his wife went off to the Imperial army to be trained in the ways of war, their sons…. both rebels and then the family split up.

 

            Soon a war broke out. The Elves were sick of the Imperials rule over all of the lands and were now fighting against them to end their rain. They wanted all of the power for themselves. They had a new vision for the world of Neron, one that does not include the Imperials ruling over them. The Rebels with their original plan to also end the Imperials rule continued on what they were doing to begin with. Now there was global war and everyone was in panic and chaos. Battles raged all over the land of Neron, and soon there would be only one victory that comes out. With the cunning of the Elves, the power of the Imperials, the might of the Ancients and the will power of the Rebels; this will be a long war. But who is brave enough to defeat the mightiest warriors of all times? 

 

And that’s where our story begins, with one simple dream…..
