-A Village's Doom-

A Village's Doom

It was a normal day, the weather was the usual, sunny and breezey.
No one expected what would soon happen. The village Kal'Nalt was centered ontop of a steep hill. To the north, appeared the great barrens, a place of unbearable heat and freezing cold. The sorrounding landscape is thick woods that stretch as far as the eye can see, yet, in the distance you may occasionaly see great mountains.

Kal'Nalt was a normal village, though larger than most. It had a small wooden keep within it, residing in the center. It had a 3 foot thick wooden wall sorrounding the town, in which, was spread across the entire hilltop. Kal'Nalt was a peaceful village. The sentries, which would alternate every week, dozed off most of the town. But, one sentry had been keeping a weary eye towards the forest in the east.

He was a miltia peasant named, Saelim.
---------------------------------------------

I had been watching the eastern forest all day, there was something about it, something....sinister. Most would tell me im seeing things, but I know there is something out there, watching us.

There! Eyes....Red eyes, something was definantly out there. I glanced toward the north, crowded bunches of black dots were slowly approaching.
I'd better tell the cheif, and so I walked quickly down the wooden stairs. Than, I headed towards the keep, a pushed open one of the great doors, and headed up to the cheif's room. I knocked three times on the door, a gruff voice responded " Who is it?,".
"Its Saelim, sir, I have some information"
"Well don't stand their talkings, come in!"
"Er, yes, of course sir."
The cheif was a stout warrior, bright shining metal armor hung on the nearby walls.
"Well...?"
"Sir?"
"....Tell me the information you nitwit!"
"Oh uh, yes, of course"
"I was standing on the eastern wall, and I saw two red eyes peering from the forest at me, Sir!"
".....Is that why you came soldier?"
"Um, No Sir! I have more, to the north, what looks like a army is steadily heading towards the town, Sir!"
"Hm....Show me this "army""
"Yes, Right away sir! Follow me."
I headed back to the northern wall, with the cheif close behind, as we passed, he yelled at some of the sentries, which were sleeping beneath the warm sun. I pointed towards the now large glob of black specks in the distance.
"There Sir!"
"Ah, yes I see them..I wonder who they are"
"Perhaps they're orcs, sir?"
"We will see"
"Well, shouldn't we rouse the militia incase?"
"Shut up you nit wit, thats what im about to do!"
"Er,Uh, yes, of course.... sorry...sir.."
The cheif walked over to the bell, and pulled it hard, many times
clang clang clang clang
All the sentries immidentaly awakened and started gathering beneath the wall where the cheif was standing. Peasants and gaurds did the same.

Once all of the men were present (from which he could tell), he began saying the information I gave to him.
"Men! I have sighted a large army coming from the north! We must prepare in the event that they are hostile, pick up your swords and armor"
"Saemlin, go to the nearby ridge further north, and see who these people are! Go, why are you still standing there?"
"Er, sorry sir"
I hurried off towards the gate...
