The silence in the woods kept me awake, i heard no crickets, i held onto my sword, a one and a half meter long sword. i lay down in the silence of the forest, the fire burning right next to me. I kept silent, holding onto my sword i lay perfectly still waiting if there is any ambush. Silently i closed my eyes, just before i closed my eyes i heard the dead leaves rustled. I sprang to my feet with my sword drawn. One hand I was holding a sword, strapped to my back was my Bow, my other hand was holding a light armor shield, made out of one hundred percent iron.
"What do you want?" I questioned him.
He was wearing a ninja suit, covered all till his eyes while I was just an average swords-bowman. He kept silent and took out two one meter length daggers. I froze. He jumped up and pointed his dagger at me, I felt small but somehow I raised my shield above my head. I heard the clash of steel on iron. Sparks flew out. I pushed back my shield on him, he jumped backwards, withdrawing his dagger and looking at it, it snapped, a small piece of his dagger. His eye brows went to angry. He threw the broken piece of dagger and took out stars. Five pointed sharp ends that could, if thrown in a special way flew and could stab somewhat two inches deep. I got back to my senses just in time when he threw four at me. I ducked and jumped. One sliced threw arm. I screamed.
"Ahh! Shit!" I shouted.
Dashing at him with anger and hatred, I ran, zig-zagging my way through and finally reached him, he was shocked and surprised. But it was too late for him, my sword dashed into his chest. Blood came out from his chest and then his mouth, his suit was bloodied. His lips poured fresh red blood, his suit covering his head becomes red. His eyes bloat with surprise, he drops his dagger and falls dead on the ground. I breathe heavily. Gasping for my breath. That was adrenaline pumping. That happened six days ago. My first kill while guard dutying. Now, with hundreds and hundreds of soldiers, armed swordsman and archers, battering rams, knights, phalanxes, trebuchets, magnoels, elitespearman and hundreds and thousands of allies. I stood in front of my battalion. I was an elite spearman. I like hand to hand combat, and sometimes i like ranged attack. Fifty yards away from us lay thousand and thousands of enemy soldiers, the Saracens tribe. Their camel mounted infantry made them the most fearsome enemies of all. Inspired by Spartan lengedary, King Leonidas and his 300 men defeated hundreds and thousands of Persians before they perished in battle, we took the legend as a morale effort to raise our armies own morale. And now, standing before the enemies who assassinated my father, the King of my tribe, the Crusaders tribe. "We fight for honor and freedom. We fight for what is ours and what we share. We do not server anyone but our King. We are now official crusaders. We are the guardians of freedom and honor and peace." I gave a morale boost to my soldiers.
A camel mounted soldier approached us, he took out a scroll and read it out loud, "We, the Saracens of Earth, boasts of our pride in camel warriors and in massive quantities of militia. Surrender and we will provide you with all the wealth you need. We will spare your families, we will spare your kind."
"We do not serve Persian-wannabes! We do not want your wealth. We do not need your wealth. We need our honor and freedom. Nothing else." I answered back. Just then, a spear flew from my massive army and struck the man on his chest. He drops dead on the field.
"Yeah!" we all screamed.
"Today is where we gain victory lads! Today is where we fight and win!"
"Yeah!" my soldiers screamed.
"CHARGE!!!!" I screamed, running towards our enemies. It was five to one. They have millions of armies, we have thousands, but we have the courage and skill, they have the numbers.
The sound of iron on iron clashing, the sounds of arrows whizzing, the sounds of screaming soldiers towards death. Spears flew past us and stabs our men, arrows flew and stab a soldier in his head. Another arrow stabbed my men in his eyes. A spear hit another soldier's skull, it pierced through his skull and stuck to the ground. He never had the time to even scream. We clashed and clashed. The remaining thousands of enemy soldiers retreated. The camel mounted soldiers flee the deserted battlefield. We stood and sighed in relief. We won the battle. The battle which involved millions of soldiers. We lost thousands of men, but before they died, they brought down more with them. It went from five to one, ten to one to fifteen to one. I myself killed almost a hundred enemy militias. It was the most spectacular war ever. We thought it was over when the remaining enemy militias fled the battlefield, deserting their weapons and shields then ran and ran. We stood there with victory in our hands. Victory by killing thousands of enemy in our hands.
We thought we won. We thought they ran back to their king begging for reinforcements. Then suddenly we saw, magicians, sorcerers, archers with bows which looked rather larger than them. Infantries with spears and half length shields, they were what we call them, Elite Magespearman. They not only use their spear, but with magic and sorcery, they could make the spear filled with damages, and not just any damages, it was filled with bolts of lightning. Some were fire. We regrouped after seeing their magicians. Slowly we back, slowly we retreated. I summoned my own priests and archers, archers which shoot arrows with fire, which blesses the arrow with death. Which equips shields with blesses that would protect the holder. Our magicians could summon thunderbolts of thousand times. Each time they summon a bolt it could hit a maximum five hundred times. Instantly killing the enemy.
They stood in front of each other. One of my magicians whispered a saying, "Spimakriataliousshicktadobumareasun!"
Suddenly there were lightning bolts coming from the skies, in massive quantities, the enemies magicians screamed for their magical protection but it all failed. Just then, we heard arrows whizzing. It was too late, we watched in horror as our magicians covered themselves with arrows.
"FIRE THE ARROWS NOW!" I screamed.
The arrows flew past us, we delivered a lethal shot to them, it was deadly. They didnt have the time to run nor cast any spell. Both side of magicians died. That was where the magicians, the last kind of magicians died and their legacy was not continued. It has never been written down in history, nor has any of our soldiers said a word. It was the clash of the ancients.
