Role

Chapter 4

The Blue giant Invaders assailed the mountains and their commander had
them well instructed. They were pressed backwards into the mountain
with each and every attack. The Blue giants brought forth the wrath of
their gods, with elves and men in support.

Feeling the impending doom of the mountain clan, Nighden gathered the
Lady Rah and the rest of the guard and descended deep into the fires of
the mountain and brought down the tunnel roofs as they went.

Day 12 of the Seige

The food was now gone, the water was in a little better shape and he
needed to act. He instructed the youngest of the guard to accompany him
on a patrol of the tunnels. No one seemed to question where Nighden
had found the meat he returned with.

22 of the Seige

Only Nighden, Lady Rah and her maid were left and stomachs were so
empty they began to gnaw away inside them. Nighden got up slowly
and approached the maid who, weakened by lack of food, trembled at
the sight of Nighden's blood-stained halberd.

The maid turned to her Lady and offered her a shimmering blue potion
saying that it contained magic to transport her away but not from the
depths of the mountain, only from the upper levels. As she passed it
to the Lady Rah, Nighden's halberd came out through her chest, just
short of the Lady Rah's.

Day 27 of the Seige

The blue giants were almost through and the Lady Rah nodded to him
and he invoked the bloodlust like he was shown and they approached the
the last set of gates. The Lady Rah tucked behind him, Nighden waited
for the gates to burst open before he lowered his halberd and charged like
a morosa demon.

The blue giants were thrown backwards again and again as Nighden and
his Lady Rah forced their way back to the upper levels. The bloodlust was
sustaining Nighden as he fought and they had burst clear of the blue
giants to make their way to the second level.

Lady Rah looked at Nighden with her eyes wide in shock as he left her
propped up by his halberd, as it stuck through her guts into the wall.

He gently removed the blue shimmering potion from her hand and
spoke, 'Sometimes you have to destroy all before you can rebuild
greatness - The Rah's were weak and sat in the mountain as enemies
grew strong. I will not make that mistake as I rebuild.'

He nodded to the Lady Rah as blood gurgled from her mouth and then
he turned to the onrushing blue giants and grinned. Quaffing the potion
he found himself in a faraway city.
