FORGE MY SWORD

Deep smokes emerges from the city of light as Onyx lies in ruins. The sky is darkened as the inferno rages on. The Aarangs are having a filled day as they cut through every starlight soldier that stood on their way. Women and children scampered for safety as they were not left out of the onslaught. The once heavily guarded kingdom was now at the mercy of Gogla and his demons. Bodies littered the once beautiful street as more and more fell to the swords of the invading army. If only the people of Onyx had listened, if only they heeded the warnings of Jalib, the seer but now it was too late for any form of hearkening"Weoss is warning, He will soon depart, return to Him all ye people of starlights. He is not happy, He needs you all to come back to him in repentance" The shabbily dressed Jalib cried out on the streets of Onyx as he moved from one point to another on each busy pathway. Women laughed at him and mocked him, children threw dirt and rotten food items at him, even the men shook

"It doesn't matter how many starlights are remaining because I Gogla won't stop until I have crushed everyone of them" the gigantic reptile told Jalib as he visited the dungeon that evening to mock his captives that included the seer Jalib. Jalib turned his back at him all through the conversation, he cried silently as soon as Gogla left. For some reason best known to him, the reptile has decided to keep him alive, if it was to torture him or make him suffer mockery of how helpless his nation has become, he certainly was getting what he wanted. The old man looked up to ceiling of the dungeon as painfully said "Weoss, for how long?"Just as feared by the seven nations, threat letters were issued to them by Gogla. In the letters, he ordered them to surrender to his government and come to pledge their allegiances to hin in Onyx. Panic was spreading faster and becoming real, no one dared stepped out of the kingdom for fear of the unknown, watchmen were constantly on the lookout. E

"You nearly got the old man killed, what were you thinking pushing him into the icy waters unprepared?" King Riub yelled at the mercenary who simply continued to munch on his apple pretending not to hear what the king just said. "If he doesn't survive Kylem, I will give you the most painful death that can never be imagined" The King yelled further as he prepared to go to the healer's hut where Jalib was reported to be lying unconscious. "So that's the thank you I get for risking my life to get you your ugly looking grand pa, I am deeply hurt" Kylem said mockingly as he held his heart and pretended to be sobbing. King Riub wasn't interested in the little acting that the lanky figure was putting up. He knew all the labours of rescuing Jalib from Gogla's hands would be in vain if the old man gave up the ghostGogla was having a hard time believing that Jalib had been taken from right under his nose. He ordered that the head of the prison guard be brought to him and in the presen

The starlights began to train the young ones among them with the view of building a mini army. Combat trainings became a norm as each day hundreds of the young starlights gathered in the fields and were tutored on the basics of using a sword. The more experienced fighters among them who were amateurs during the time of Mawyl the late starlight army chief became the new commanders. The spirit around the starlight camp became a lively one as smiles once again returned to the people, women went abot their normal duties with some sense of happiness and the down trodden souls in the camp were lifted once again"Weoss came to me as I slept, the whole dream felt real as His aura could be felt all around me. He walked gently to where I was and said some words to me. I couldn't understand all He said due to the language He used but He repeated these words to me several times " In da com bre na si te que bin je nia, na gre via nane" " Queen Beurb said as the atmosphere in the gathering

Jalib was rolled in to the midst of the starlights accompanied by the Queen and her personal bodyguards. She told the starlights that she has finally handed them the support the seven nations had in store for them through the rescue and returning of Jalib. "It is now up to you people to return this favour by righting every wrong that you must have done with your God and stepping out to deliver the seven nations from the torment of Gogla" She concluded as she hastily began to leave after explaining to the Eeries that her people needs her after Gogla had destroyed their homeKylem had trailed the Queen and her company through the cart and was now able to locate the terrains where Jalib was being kept and also where the starlights have been hiding all these while, news had it that they were dead but alas the children of light still liveth. He could still remember Gogla words to him after he had captured him thinking that Kylem had tricked him with wrong information about Jalib's
