POV: vile

We marched all the all the way to the village, stopping a good distance away from the wall where they couldn’t see us. The sun had just made it over the horizon; you could see the solders lined on top of the wall. I was feeling giddy with joy because this would be my first battle. Now all I have to do is figure out how do I want to go about this?

Amya, you and the rest of the spiders follow me.”

“Yes my lord.”

I head towards the village with 800 spiders behind me. I tell them to cloak themselves until I give the word. After just a little walk we arrive at the front of their wall. A horn blows and thousands of troops rush to the top. Archers load there bows ready to release if giving the command. I walk forward opining my arms wide. They fire. Hundreds of arrows fly up into the air and rain towards me. A giant red rune blocks the arrows, after a while I’m standing in a small clear circle with arrows around me.

“Now that I have your attention, I would like to speak to the person in charge”

A minute or two later an old man and the man I spoke to earliar steps forward. I could feel that this old man was a lot stronger then the man I spoke to previous.

“My name is Gleam and I’m the elder of this village, I must say you’re really strong for such a young age?

I take a small bow “thank you elder gleam, would you and your people mind standing down. The more of your people I have the better.”

“A bold youngster you are to ask that of the dwarves, I must say no and that we would die to protect what we have here. We have fought too hard and struggle so much for what little we have.”

I smile at the old man. “That is fine, I would just need to burn down what you hold dear”

Stolen novel; please report.

I raised my hand, 800 spiders appear behind me out of thin air. Runes take form above their heads releasing a fire ball each. Fire rains down onto the archers on the wall burning flesh and bone.  Screams of pain ring throughout the air, the smell of burnt flesh starts to replace the scent of the forest. The archers where unprepared and could find cover in time. The surprise attack may not have killed them all but it did get an outstanding amount, I could see people running trying to put out the fires and there forces ready to retaliate.

“Amya withdraw for now”

I climb on top of her back and we head back to the rest of my army. Behind me they flames where still raging and screams still pierce the air. A smiled crept onto my lips.

“Here I come dwarves.”

We get back to camp and everyone was in the middle of doing what they were assigned to do while I was gone. I summon a chair made of earth and sit down,

“Zagat, go and attack the village while there archers Are recovering. Take as many of the villagers you see and kill as many solders as you can. Do not kill the ones that seem to be in charge, leave them for me to fight.  I also want you to hide some of you wasps in homes and adduct some people at night when there guards down.”

“yez my lord”

POV:  Guard captain of Durum

Men screamed everywhere as they were taken to get healed. Dead bodies were being burnt so we would not catch a disease. I looked at Gleam who was talking to some of the other captains. Daniela walks up to me.

“Captain we didn’t know that he would have a whole colony of spiders. We couldn’t have known that”

“But we should have known Daniela, we should have thought about the possibility that he has more of those three of abominations! On top of it all they had a queen in her 3rd stage, and don’t even start on the fact that they can all use magic. It never been herd of hundreds of the spider race in one place that can all use magic.

The captain didn’t know was that until vile used his powers most of all of them couldn’t.

“captain, it was…

Daniela never got to finish her sentence before the warning horn blew. I got up and ran to the wall only to stand and watch in horror. Thousands of wasps were heading towards us and over the wall. The archer’s who was left and still on duty wasn’t enough to stop them from getting past. They descended into or village taken people away and killing solders. Magic runes appeared at the end of thier stingers and shot out poison needles.

“They are after the people I screamed, protect them!”
