And So It Begins.. (A Short Story)

Iradale Icewind had joined in the guild wars with the hope of earning a name for himself, but so far, only small skirmishes once every month had taken place... He longed for real war.. a real chance to prove himself. He sat in the forest his hammer next to him, and his pet curled up beside him. He would just have to somehow make a name for himself at the skirmishes, as all the empires in the land banned fighting except for 3 days a month.. then he heard it, he quickly grabbed his hammer up, it sounded like a mage amplifying his voice. it sounded like he was laughing at first... "attention all you battle crazed heros, in four days time a new age will dawn upon us, an age that once came, but left.. it shall be reborn! the age of the guilds!" the mages voice boomed throughout the whole world. "prepare yourselves, for in 4 days time.. there will be full on war.. but before that i must leave you with a little present" A white light shone all around.. suddenly Iradale was having a hard time holding up his hammer.. his muscles that he had built up from fighting in the battles disappeared and his equipment too, he smiled as he talked to himself "so it must be fair.. i see" he laughed "and so it begins" then the mages voice came back "4 days... and expect to see many more people joining the wars as well.. good luck to everyone!" Iradale ran off to the nearest town.. he had some preparing to do.

As he ran off, Iradale stepped in a pothole and sprained his ankle. And so it ends.......
