Chapter Four

RAIDER ISLANDS

Kiha reached raider islands. still furious about the kings demand for his lands. He knew war is unavoidable, King Ojas will come for his lands but something in his heart told him that his army was stronger than the army of Ojas Angara.

Kiha stood in balcony of his keep, Looking at the life around. Every one clad in black as a respect of lord of Darkness. During Second great war when Capital abandoned them they turned to lord of Darkness to protect them. Since that time Raiders have ruled the nights and have acquired a new name the thieves.

Second great war had a huge impact on life of raiders it changed the language of warriors, This new language gave them an advantage they can instruct their troops without enemy understanding it. It changed the style of their war, once highly honourable fighters have now
mastered the gorilla warfare. If you are fighting them you never know from where or when are they going to come.

Another reason for Kiha's confidence was that all his senior warriors were war tested they were there during second great war. No one had any doubts about there abilities. but the new generation had not seen a real battle and only they can prove to be the weak link but Kihas was not worried about that. Only thing he hated was death that war brings along with it but some price had to be paid to hold their head high.

He called his Chieftain for council. He told him what happened in the capital and asked him to prepare for war. Kiha knew there were more domestic problems to take care of before he can even think about going to war. "Everything will be taken care of in due course."he thought and sent a note to the senior minister it was simple to understand, "Import and stock as much
food grains and metals as possible". After that he started a slow walk towards basement where he hid something 20 years ago. He knew he is going to need it again.

Meanwhile Chieftain informed all commanders about the war that was upon them. Commanders were no too happy about it but they respected Kiha enough to keep their silence. All commanders went to their respective regiments to prepare for war.

Chapter Three

THE ANGARA LAND
Capital City
King Ojas took a diversion from history. Angara land never talked to its foe before. King Ojas was smart enough to know it was not wise to get into battle with Raider Islands. He invited warchief of raiders the thieves to the capital to offer terms surprisingly Warchief Kiha accepted the offer.

King Ojas was thinking he will take control over Raider Islands without a battle. But when Warchief Kiha arrived he understood that Raiders have started considering those islands as a separate nations and Kiha was completely clueless about nature of this visit. Never before did Ojas cursed the second great war which lasted 30 years and made his father leave Raider Islands to its fate. But the talk must go on. Ojas was thinking as he was moving towards the conference chamber in his keep. What will he say. Raider islands had nothing to sell that Ojas intended to buy. If news of his blunder reached common man he would look like a fool. Suddenly he found himself in a situation no one wants to be in.

Ojas reached the conference room and greeted Kiha. "What do you want from us Great King" Kiha asked. "We want you join the great Angara banner once again" Ojas replied, without being sure that he is doing the right thing by spilling the beans in the beginning. "We were left to rot and die Fifty years back, Amount of our blood that spilled in battle is the reason why we are still alive if you want our lands come see us in the battle ground spill as much of your blood and take the land." Kiha replied in anger. Ojas was taken aback with this reply he expected hostility but not a clear invitation to battle. Not knowing what to say Ojas replied "If you wanted a war then why did you come here to talk?" Kiha said "I never knew you wanted our lands. In fact even if i knew i would have come here just to let you know that make no mistakes about it we are a separate nation now and we will be till i am alive." Then there was a silence for few seconds but it seemed like an eternity for the Young King. Then the Warchief left for Raider Islands. and left Ojas wondering how to defeat Raider Islands. People who stood against lord of forsaken Land all by themselves cannot be considered as weak foes.

Ojas then headed towards his bedroom thinking deeply about the conversation with warchief that he just had. There was another aspect of war which Ojas was considering, he was fighting to unite his lands to move against Gondwana Lands. If he goes to war against Raiders then every falling soldier on either side will weaken his army. He just wanted the warriors not the
land. What should be done, There must be a better way out. With these thoughts king retired to bed.

Chapter Two

THE GONDWANA LAND
Sixty Years Ago

King Ronja was concerned about happenings in Angara Land. He saw Ojas growing up as a boy. He knew his desire to establish Angara supremacy in this world. Now that he has become king he knew war is unavoidable. Since the day Ronja had become king he had done a lot to unite tribes in his land under his banner. This made Gondwana Land a formidable foe for any mortal enemy. Ronja was aware that only worthy enemy he had on this planet was Angara clan. And no matter what he did their spell casters will steal the show in war. Knowing this he Made a Dark Clan. A clan of demonic spell casters now commonly known as warlocks. Whose magic could have been second to none. But if his warlocks went deep into demonic magic it will corrupt their soul. So a strict control was kept over warlocks. Magic of warlocks was strong enough to give support to their heavy armoured infantry and cavalry. So much so to tick the scales in their favour.
There was one big problem King Ronja was facing. He had no warlord, a hero, a champion. All his warlords died in the second great war which ironically Angara and Gondwana land fought together. They fought against a common foe the lord of Forsaken Land. A land filled with demons, Angels and immortals. That was some war as defeating immortals is never an easy task. Today people in both lands cannot believe that they defeated the immortals. Second great war ensured that earth is going to stay with humans for long time.
King Ronja needed few warlords for the war which as per his guess was only few decades away. He was aware of the fact warlords are not trained they are born. He was certain that there will be many potential warlords in his land but it was hard to find them as Gondwana lands didn't have much challenges to offer. The only challenge that Gondwana Land has to offer was Rotting Mines formerly known as Gold mines. That was the only place on Gondwana Land where immortals struck.
King Ronja had a tough choice to make. Weather to send his troops to Rotting Mines and have causalities for no reason. Which will of course reduce strength of his army or wait for some miracle to happen and warlords to present themselves. He knew very well without warlords if he has to fight Angara Land He Will Lose.Walking in the Royal Gardens watching the sun set this was the only thought in his mind.

Chapter One

THE ANGARA LAND
Sixty Years Ago

Mighty King Asoka the 2nd has died. Natural causes is what everyone says. Just after his funeral Crowned Prince Ojas Angara was Crowned as the King. Many people call him a worthy successor but still there are people who doubt his ability.

Since childhood Ojas had only one dream it was to unite whole earth under one banner that is banner of Angara land. When he was 10 years old he was sent for training in diplomacy and warfare. He was one of the few who could be a mage and a warrior. His tall and strong body did justice to his ability and stature in society.

As soon as he took the throne he realised that Angara land is not that well united as it looked. Every piece pf landmass distant from the capital was forsaken by his father. There was Raider islands, White forest and of course The Highlands.

Ojas understood that to unite whole world under his banner he will have to unite his lands first. But it was not an easy task. for past 50 years Raider islands got no help from the capital and Warrior clan their has declared themselves as the ruler of those islands. White forest earlier known as Devine Forest patrol was withdrawn 20 years ago. Now the forest houses one of the most strange creatures in the world. And of course beyond the white forest there lies a huge landmass. which was once most prosperous land in whole kingdom the Highlands.
Highlands was the easiest land to control yet toughest to reach as white forest separates high lands from the main lands.

King Ojas had his hands full with other routine problems. Development, Training and upkeep of his army and to keep Peace and harmony among citizens. Was the Young King up to the task this only time can tell.

Just a Story

Prologue
Before every disaster nature gives warning but man had never paid any heed to it. Phew its always easy to understand when story is started from beginning.

about 450 million years ago there were only two large continents Angara land in the north and Gondwana land in the south.Both of them sheltered the two great kingdoms of ancient times. Its not a coincidence that name of the land was derived from the dynasty that ruled those lands. the Angara dynasty and the Gondwana dynasty.

Both lands were blessed with food water and natural beauty. Both kingdoms were developed beyond our wildest imagination. People in Angara land were mastered strategist and had mastered the magic. And people in Gondwana land had brute force and had mastered the metallurgy. its not that people of Gondwanda didn't know anything about magic or people of Angara didn't know anything about metals but difference was there.

That fateful day warriors were preparing for epic battle before them. then heavens turned red, breeze stopped. whole earth felt dead. Master Mage and Warlocks communed with the land and both advised king not to send troops to war.

A WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN, NOW THERE FATE IS NOW THERE OWN.
