We spent three days walking in the open, enduring the heat during the day and the cold at night. They were perhaps the worst moments of my life. The food was a bit disgusting, very tasteless and simple. They gave us a somewhat dry and poorly preserved bread, because of the temperature in which we had to walk. It was prepared simply for us to eat and that was it. They didn't care if we liked the food or not, and they didn't handle the food well, so several soldiers got sick and walked with difficulty for a good part of the trip.I tried to eat that, and avoid thinking about what I was ingesting. I felt dizzy many times, but there was nothing to eat, so I had to get used to it.When we were finally able to rest in a fairly tropical area. I sat down on a rock and tried to pull myself together, I was tired from all the walking. I started to regret coming to this place. I didn't think it would be so difficult, I thought we should just fight, but it has been quite a problem to move from to
The war did not let up when we passed through a village we noticed that there were multiple displacements of people. It was very strange that something like that was happening, but the general ignored that, we had to continue on our way without looking back. I felt something strange in my chest. I had never felt anything like that before. I wanted to stop in the middle of the desolate and lonely road I was traveling. I didn't know if it was a warning that something was going to happen or a normal pain, but I fell to the ground on my knees. Which caught everyone's attention. Although I did not talk to anyone, they all saw me as a hero, someone different from everyone else, and in a way they respected me. Seeing me like that, the whole troop stopped for a few minutes. Nobody understood what was happening.But almost two kilometers away from us something quite strange came out of the ground, it was maybe a giant hundred-footer. About 10 meters long and 5 meters high, and from one moment
Several soldiers from various groups took their weapons and did not care about anything, they went to that monster they had in front of them to kill those creatures, but they were exposed to suffer serious damage or die, since they were not stupid creatures as when they were small. It was clear that they had intentions to kill thousands of soldiers to cause us enough casualties to put us at a disadvantage for the war. No one from my group went there to fight those creatures. We just left it up to the other groups that were there.I knew that this creature had perhaps been made by one of the wizards exactly for this place, what I didn't understand was how it got here. I was a little terrified I thought I was the cause of this. Every time strange creatures appeared my chest hurt and it was too strange.I just stood and watched the battle. Many soldiers started fighting without thinking about what they were doing. It was all quite dangerous. That creature grabbed one of them with its pi
After a while the rest of the soldiers arrived for the battle, I felt lost in this place. I had no one I knew and I was a little worried, but from one moment to another I saw Alfred talking to the elves, for me it was encouraging to see a familiar face among so many people, but I could not talk to him because he was busy at that moment, and it was still a waste of time, besides I had nothing to tell him.I felt that someone had touched my sword, and I grabbed it to prevent it from being stolen. It was a strange dwarf, with a red beard, and black eyes, just like everyone else he had the same armor.-What do you want to do with this armor," I asked him.-It's not normal... I see that you are a tomb raider, you stole it from a dead man of many years.-I didn't steal it from anyone. I found it in a dungeon.-You are a thief and you smell like those beasts the wizard has. You deserve to die, traitor.From one moment to another he attacked me with his sword, and I managed to dodge his atta
The next morning the body of the former head of the Altamira guild was buried under a deep grave in the sand. Since we were in his country. It didn't matter where he was buried. Only that it was his homeland. It was all in the early morning because the group as soon as the sun rose we went to where it would be. The combat zone, the first in line were the heroes, some were on horseback and some of us walked. I was a little annoyed, I knew that the enemy soldiers had something strange planned and I spoke to Alfred.-The best thing to do is to wait for him, tell the others and see what they think.-I don't understand. .... Why?-They know they have the advantage, but I wasn't sure if they will win. They are a country with few inhabitants. Maybe they set traps everywhere at night. To reduce the number of soldiers and have more advantage.He started to think a bit and made him go to the elf of the group and talk to her while we were all walking.It was something quite fast as it made all
The sun had not yet risen and all the heroes were awake. No one could sleep after all that had happened. There was still a long way to go to finish this war and none of us knew what to do at that moment. The moonlight was the only thing that helped us, at least thanks to it we were not totally dependent on the visibility of the campfire and the torches we were carrying at that moment. Even though we felt a slight peace, I was quite tired. The combat against those creatures was quite hard for me. Being healed so many times was very bad, it left my body weakened, besides I lost a lot of energy for having used that sword so many times.I lay down on the ground, I could no longer stay awake. I just looked to the south of this place. I tried to be attentive to any movement of the enemy army and not let fatigue overcome me easily.[...]I woke up in the middle of a strange movement in the desert. I saw many soldiers running towards the south. I tried to get up from the ground, and wiped th
The barrier gave us time to recover from the continuous enemy attacks, which would end in a matter of minutes, as they would run out of arrows at any moment.There were many wounded, since the arrows that had fallen near us were like rain, it was as if they were simultaneously organizing to attack us from the air. Luckily the elves began to heal all the wounded of the place, however the enemy army did not stay waiting for us to recover. They sent troops towards us, and they were not simple soldiers. They were heroes who had no intention of leaving us alive. From where I stood I could see their weapons, which were a little different from the ones we had. Meanwhile the heroes in our group were preparing for battle. They all tried to pull themselves together and draw their weapons as the enemies were coming.The elves finished healing the enemies, but did not head towards the battlefield, apparently they would stay here and wait for the small confrontation between the strongest to end.
When the enemy troops left, we could all breathe easier, but the losses we had were many. More than seventy heroes had died between the two countries and we lost more than them, almost fifty.They knew they had to retreat, since their advantage was in the number of heroes who participated in battle, and they had fewer soldiers than us, so they could not let the war be defined by their combat. Their only goal was to eliminate all the heroes of my country, and eliminating our army was much easier.The elves went to help those who were still alive to reduce the losses we had, but unfortunately, could not do much, because many were very wounded, I could see the clear difference between the warriors of one side and the other. They were very prepared to do this kind of things by orders of their king. We would have to take advantage of this short pause to improve and prepare ourselves again for war, while the crisis in the south passed. It was too short a time to prepare, but we had no choi
