//its cringe and bad but enjoy
In the year 256 MA/CE signs of recovery are beginning to show, after the Great War, most countries were either on the verge of collapse or already destroyed. It's been 342 years since the Great War and the great people of those ruined countries have risen once again into prominence, Zayronia born from the ashes of The Great Kingdom of Zayrodia.
This. Is where our story begins…
A deafening roar and blood curdling screams can be heard. Zayn bursts up off his bed and awakens in a pool of sweat. ´It must´ve been a bad dream¨ he says while stumbling out of bed he walks down stairs while holding his head, Zayn's sister Zaya speaks and says ¨ Breakfast is ready!¨. Zayn hurries downstairs and almost trips before catching himself he joins Zaya for breakfast and helps with cleaning up, he says bye to his sister and heads outside passing a painting of his late mother and father.
He hurries to the town center to buy more food and to also check if there are any job recruiters in town from big cities in hopes of leaving his small village, if not Zayn hopes to get a job as a baker. All of sudden the ground begins to shake, Zayn turns around and to his surprise sees Zayronian soldiers, people rush to the soldiers as this does not look like any training they've seen before. The officer in command tells the rowdy crowd that the country is at war and that they’ve received orders to march and support the Rodinian military against Stalancian aggression, this came as a shock to the Zayronian people but many in the crowd decided to join the army in support against Stalancia and in defense of their homeland
257 MA/CE Zayn reluctantly joined the army and left his sister, in hopes that the war would end soon and never reach home. He had just finished basic training and ARG training he was just now being sent to the frontlines, he joined the 26th Zayronian Legion. Zayn along with 4,500 soldiers, 400 cavalrymen and 2 ARG’s are given orders to defend and halt the Stalancian army in the Rodiniann town of Kusckinburque. Joining them will be the 27th and 15th a combined total of 13,500 soldiers, 1,200 cavalry and 6 ARG’s vs an est. army of 30,000. Zayns legion has been tasked with slowing their advance by small scale skirmishes, traps and ambushes. In groups of 24, 6 in total Zayn has been assigned to the ARG(Arrow Gun Corps) they will make use of the arrow gun, a machine capable of shooting 200 arrows in a minute, 50 in a volley.
He's tasked on lookout and readies himself in position just then Zayn hears the sound of approaching horses and peeks out, a group of cavalry rush by almost hitting him. They let the horses pass and await for the main armies arrival, Zayn crawls through the underbrush as the Stalancian army marches by, he then blows a trumpet which disrupts the Stalancian formation giving the signal to attack, he rushes for cover as hundred of arrows rain down mortally wounding and killing soldiers as he looks back he sees men who get impaled through the chest and eyes by arrows and those who are getting trampled on by their own comrades chaos was amongst the Stalancian ranks as men flee for cover, Zayn nearly vomits from the horror. But to take greater advantage of this chaos and confusion Zayronian Spearmen appear from the cover of shrubs and kill any soldiers that attempt to find cover.
As their ambush is under way they recieve word from scouts that enemy cavalry are approaching fast they decide to retreat and defend Kusckinburque, as Zayn arrives back to his post he discovers that it was abandoned and the ARG´s are destroyed he checks his bunk for any remaining supplies and weapons he finds a bow and dagger, a couple loops of sausage and crackers. Just then he hears the sound of approaching horses and voices horror fills his face as he runs out knocking over a stack of crates, the approaching soldiers hear this and spot him Zayn runs into cover remembering that there's a secret tunnel underneath the camp he runs into the trees with the enemy hot on his tracks. He spots the tunnel door but when he gets closer an arrow hits him in the shoulder and he narrowly escapes, he watches through the cracks of the tunnel door as the group of riders go by with their torches.
But just when Zayn thinks he can finally get a chance to breathe and tend to his injury another soldier walks by spotting something on the ground, it’s Zayn's blood from when he got hit by the arrow he follows it near the tunnel entrance. The soldier gets closer and closer to the point where Zayn can hear him breath he holds his breath, just then an explosion in the distance can be heard and the soldier leaves to join his men. Zayn pulls the arrow out and wraps his arm and puts it in a sling he falls asleep from fatigue shortly afterwards, when he gets up he punches the wall in frustration after yesterday's events, Zayn assumes he's stuck behind enemy lines as the sound of explosions and fighting can no longer be heard, stranded behind enemy lines, low on food and injured. He can only use his left arm, he peeks out through the cracks of the tunnel door as he opens it and crawls out, a river can be heard in the distance he heads towards the sound with a dagger in his hand.
He spots a soldier washing his clothes, Zayn looks around to make sure no ones around, Zayn gets in close and with one arm slams the dagger into the side of the man he looks back fear in his eyes and Zayn stabs him again and twists the blade he watches the life fade from the soldier's eyes. He grabs the dead man's gear, drinks water and tosses the body into the river, while looking through the gear in the tunnel the ground to begin the shake he looks out through the door cracks and is utterly shocked by what he sees. Stalancian soldiers using the horrid beast of the east, from the Unblessed lands of Dagurah it was taboo to mess with magic yet alone cursed beast ever since the Great War ruined Orendor and Completely destroyed Augendor.
Zayn takes a map from the dead soldier gear and heads out while being cautious as to avoid enemy troops, he approaches the town of Kusckinburque where he was originally assigned to defend, it's now in ruins there are corpses as far as the eye can see Zayronian soldiers hanged and decapitated he gags and vomits from the sight and smell as he wipes his mouth he spots a shiny like object under the body of dead Zayronian officer its his Officers Sidearm ( a weapon capable of rapidly shooting arrows, while similar to an ARG it’s handheld, Zayn grabs it and a ragged cloth and puts it in his sheath and heads Southwest. After walking for what seems like days he stumbles upon a village with burnt houses and bodies hanging off of trees, tears fall from Zayn's eye ( one eyed ) as he looks upon this atrocity he explores the ruins with a look of guilt, sadness and most of all anger. Zayn shouts out loud ́I ́ll kill every one of you! To your women and children, like sheep I tell you!´ Just then he hears a noise thinking it´s enemy soldiers he flies into a pit of rage and runs towards the sound, he then spots a shadowy figure and cuts it down without any hesitation blood splashes against his cheek and drips from his sword as he relentlessly stabs the body till his anger subsides and becomes aware of his surroundings once more. As he looks at the body of the supposed enemy he gasps in horror as he sees not an enemy but a child, around the age of 6 he vomits from the sight Zayn grabs his head and screams in agony.

He sneaks past the walls and into a building making sure not to alert any guards on his way in, as he looks around he finds Slethier armor ( Slethier: a material flexible like leather but as hard as iron armor, it's also really light. ) Zayn puts it on as best as he can with his wounded arm ´At Least i can move it now´Zayn says in slight pain whilst putting the armor on, he hears the sound of approaching footsteps he ducks in the cover of nearby rubble. ´Please don't come here, please leave. ´ He pulls out the sidearm and loads one of the clips in he peeks over the rock he’s next to and sees knights in heavy Slethier armor, slethier spears and shields. Zayn trips and falls back and alerts the soldiers who come closer shields raised and spears forward Zayn scrambles out of the building fearing for his life he runs past the wall and into the nearby bushes the heavy cladded soldiers run by, Zayn begin to fire as best he can with one arm and one eye but misses many shots. Luckily the arrows manage to pierce the heavy armor and one knight falls down he’s spotted by the second and runs into the forest with the knight behind him.
Screams can be heard along with the clashing of metal the knight has wounded Zayn and he's losing blood fast all of a sudden the bracelet he found in that cave begins to glow, brighter and brighter and brighter almost blinding Zayn look to his arm in disbelief it´s healed it's the same for the wound caused by the knight spear and the bracelet has appeared on his left wrist. Zayn puts his sword in his right and and swings to see if he's arms truly healed, ´Impossible it can't be´ Zayn says in disbelief a voice appears in his head and says in a deep raspy voice ´The Chosen One, he who shall revive Augendor and restore order to Orendor and make Zayrodia once more´ just than immense heat swells in his hand. The knight takes advantage of this opportunity and drives his spear into Zayn's stomach he coughs obscene amounts of blood ´Die Zayronian scum!´ The knight lifts Zayns lifeless corpse in the air and slams it back into the ground. He leaves walking away from Zayn's blood soaked and lifeless body. Minutes pass then minutes to hours, hours to days Scacepéle has fallen and East Rodinia is lost, all remaining forces in the region are ordered to halt the Stalancian advance at the River of Scostella. Morale is at an all time low and gets lowered even more when news reaches high command that Stalancia is using cursed beast, 256 ARG´s are sent to the front lines along with 150,000 soldiers and 25,000 cavalrymen ´It seems war has taken ahold of Orendor yet again wouldn't you say so old pal?´ High Human King Xetiec of Zayronia says to the Dwarf King Gontu of the Frost Mountains of the East.
´It seems so my lord´ Gontu remarks ´oh stop with the formalities will you gontu? We've known each other for over 300 years´ Xietic says banteringly. The feeling in the room suddenly shifts as Gontu´s expression becomes serious ´Shall I bring in Frost Riders?´ Gontu says in a serious tone Xietec´s brows sharpen as he ponders this thought ´No bring in goat riders and shield bearers´ Xietec says ´Will do´ Gontu disappears leaving the king alone in his throne room. The Battle of Bridge Hancien ( Hancien is a bridge on the River of Scostella ) is underway Stalancia with 300,000 soldiers, 45,000 cavalrymen along with 24,000 bast riders vs a combined Zay - Rodinian force of 175,000 soldiers, 36,000 cavalrymen and 346 ARG´s. Bridges across the river are destroyed and trenches are built soldiers are equipped with side arms with Irididium ( A metal known for is lightness but is just as strong as iron) tipped arrow clips, the ground begins to rumble and tree branches sway as the massive Stalancian army attempts to cease the last bridge into West Rodinia, West of the battle to the Gilded Sea the Zayronian navy clashes with the Stalancian navy in the Battle of the Cartiego Islands.
Admiral Extiencé leads the defence with 5 barques, 10 schooners and 25 galleys against 7 barques, 20 schooners and 43 galleys. The Island of Cartiego is fortified with massive stone walls and 40 p ARG´s ( 40 pound Arrow Gun ) that shoot out massive arrows, tipped with explosives all Zayronian ships use 40 p´s and fire arrows, Stalancians used improvised sling shots that throw explosives they also use fire arrows. In the horizon enemy ships can be seen and alarms go off around the island signaling an attack, ships move into position and eruption of explosions can be heard with the screams of injured sailors, the Zayronian ship ZRS Storpein is struck with a barrage of explosions and catches fire, it sinks with all 80 members of it´s crew. Back east to the Battle of Bridge Hancien a bloody battlefield is unfolding with waves of enemy soldiers rushing towards the bridge with heavy shields in front and spearman in back, complete with arrows filling the sky, Constant volleys from ARG´s and tnt tossers Bridge Hancien is nearly destroyed in the process, in the end the Stalancian army wasn't able to fully cross before the bridge was destroyed 65,000 died on the Stalancian side 1,500 died on the Zay - Rodinian side. It's A´ massive victory. Zayronia managed to defend west Rodinia but can Zayronia defend its own seas?
The Battle of the Cartiego Islands, Admiral Extiencé is on the ZRS Zayron ´we´ve lost to many ships´ Extiencé says with worry present in his face ´All Ahead!´ the ZRS Zayron steams foreard, the ZRS Zayrons an experimental ship, metal hull, steam power, and 40 p ARG´s protected by thick metal armor classed as Ironclad. ´barque spotted Northeast bearing 60, heading, 180!´ the spotter shouts, another says´within range sir!´ ´Fire!´ Extiencé yells out, deafening roars fill the sky as the powerful 40 p ARG´s fire. BOOM, Crash, Bam, 2 of the 4 shots land and the barque sinks into the sea, killing all 30 of it´s crew the Zohn steams by the ruined ship, enemy galleys land men on the main island of Cartiego 4 galleys with the support of 2 barques and 5 Schooners land 320 soldiers and they rush the fortified 40 p ARG´s positions, the guns are used against the invaders but they are overwhelmed, the 40 p ARG´s are destroyed before they can be captured, all defenders are killed. As the island is taken all Zayronian ships in the area fire upon the island and are ordered to retreat back to Port Scratìm the Zayronian navy takes a beating losing 3 barques, 5 schooners and 12 galleys the navy needs to quickly rebuild or Stalancia can invade by the sea. ‘With most of the army in West Rodinia a Stalancian invasion could go unimpeded they could probably reach Zayron in a week!´ Commander Cozictin says in annoyance ´We need to pull men off the frontlines!´ Duke Kacszim shouts in anger ´What should we my lord?´ Duke Gostiel says with worry present in his face.
258 MA/CE, after a failed attempt to take the last bridge, the Stalancian army decides to travel through uncharted territory, cross Scostella River and around the Zay - Rodinian defenses. 13, Jestine 258 MA/CE, after securing the Rodinian island of Cartiego, and the Zayronian navy almost destroyed with only a couple ships being built as the economy of Zayronia sways, the Stalancian navy launches raids off the coast of Zayronia and West Rodinia ever more crippling the Zayronian war effort. 259 MA/CE the Zay - Rodinian combined forces and high command hearing rumors and expecting that Stalancia might go around spread their defenses evermore east, 16, Maricipia 259 MA/CE a force of 30,000 appear across the Scostella River ARG´s fire upon them, as the arrows are about the hit, a shield appears and deflects the arrows. ´M-Magic!´ Soldiers shout in terror, fireballs are launched across the river killing and injuring hundreds. With no means of attack the Army retreats from the river allowing the armor of 30,000 to cross.
East of the attack the Stalancian army attacks with 15,000 pushing the Zay - Rodidnian forces away from the river, with the army in retreat the main Stalancian army meets ups with the retreating 5th and 8th Zayronian Legion. What follows after is named the Slaughter of Decient, resulting in the total decimation of these to legions by magic ending in the death of 9,812. The remaining legions in West Rodinia retreat to the Alps of the Combined, with all of Rodinia lost and massive casualties Zayronia is on the verge of collapse with protests and riots occurring across the country, with most of Zeike in revolt and massive protests in Jozeike and Zayron, King Xetiec is forced to sign the humiliating treaty of Lake Ien, thus bringing a closing to the War of Stalancian Aggression in 7, Decient 260 MA/CE.
